Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Had a service release this week... Europe was thinking the service behaved one way. 2 American teams thinking the service behaved another completely disparate way, ANDDD a New Zealand frontend team that we work with, crossing their fingers and toes, hopping to the nine hells that our service worked as we designed it because that's what they were building for.... ... ... ... We are releasing on Monday. Which is 200% better than i feared but we were aiming for today and im still a little salty about it.

Good luck! You kinda make it sound like you're not sure it will work and you're just pushing to production anyway 😆

Still on the lookout for a really nice logo for LemmyNZ. Considering finding someone on Fiverr unless someone has another suggestion of where to find an artist?

Also in case you missed it, Canvas 2026 will start in about 57 days (July 18).

My latest logo effort:

lemmyNZ logo proposal with lemmy/kiwi creature in front of NZ flag

Or pixel versions:

Thoughts? Is it getting close to something we would actually want as a logo or do I need to find someone with actual skill?

I like this one. It looks great! Should we vote on it like we did with the flag and then stick with the current logo?

Jokes aside, I don’t think you need to find somebody else to do a logo. I like it!

A little cleaned up and rounded:

rounded logo with kiwi/lemmy creature and NZ flag in background

And full flag version: Same lemmy/kiwi but in front of full NZ flag I'll make a poll for people to vote!

I've been programming almost daily for the past month or two working on a game and its so so hard. It actually hurts my head trying to manage everything but its so satisfying to finally get something working. But im going insane because I really want to talk about how things are being implemented and how they should be implemented with another person but I have no one who can give me that chat im looking for. My friends listen but cannot provide any response.

Games are hard! Designing a game is a job in and of itself, then you have to actually program it! Anyone that completes a game with any amount of depth has completed a massive achievement.
