YouTube channel ‘I Make Games’ posted a video of a remake of Diablo II they're making in Unreal Engine 5. It looks pretty great. The video shows a barbarian battling the Ancients in a third person view: https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/diablo-2-unreal-engine-5-fan-remake-gets-third-person-mode

A little lag in the video, but cool as hell. There's lots of interesting remakes being done lately, and a lot of them are mentioned in that piece.

If a social app avoids feeds and followers, should invites also be small and one-use?

Why Driftya Invites Work Once

A look at why Driftya uses one-use invite links to keep Drift Circle sharing intentional, private, and free from direct messaging.

Someone today called Driftya “a softer and gentle version of Omegle.”

Not a comparison I expected, but I understand what they meant. Driftya also lets strangers cross paths, but the safety parts have to be easy to find: hide, report, block.

When someone reports content, it should be hidden for them right away, with a clear option to block too. Self-moderation should not be buried.

Sometimes the hardest part of social platforms is the “new here” feeling.

Thousands of groups, rooms, and topics, but no obvious place to begin.

#nostalgia #socialmedia #SmallWeb #ocean #nature

I was thinking about old platforms I used years ago.

Part of the nostalgia was that they felt small enough to remember people. There weren’t thousands of groups to choose from before you could belong somewhere. “I was there. And somehow, that mattered.”

I wrote about Driftya’s new Between Us feature. It tries to keep that small-space feeling, even as more people join, by building around people you’ve already crossed paths with: https://driftya.com/content/between-us

Between Us: A Smaller Social Space

Between Us gives Driftya a small social space where people who have drifted together can leave short notes without feeds, likes, groups, or endless scrolling.

A edge of the world. Keep calm and stay peaceful, the world needs it.
