Cool game! Looks fun. Guess I need to find some friends first, but maybe I'll try playing with them this weekend.

Pretty much Victorian Photoshop. The artist painted from the most flattering angle, with perfect lighting and the lenses made the image look three‑dimensional. Funny how in 2026 we’re doing exactly the same thing just with more advanced tech, and now it’s not only premium properties that get sold that way...

I understand you so well. I have a similar story with drawing. I don't think I'll ever be able to return to it, but I wish you luck

It’s interesting to watch what’s happening in the AI market right now.

The announcement about future price increases also looks like a classic marketing move, of course. I don’t know, I’m just really curious what this whole market will look like in five years or so

Its surprising that many ideas that are now considered fundamental UX principles were formulated almost 40 years ago. It is interesting to see how relevant these approaches remain today, especially when looking at modern interfaces that often become overloaded with too many features and possibilities. I think modern designers should keep in mind more often that product design should not only be visually appealing but also provide a convenient and intuitive experience for the end user
