Fine, I'll bite: why do you say that?

Just click the right arrow to scale it up?

The cool white color tones aren't my personal preference, but I appreciate the theme none-the-less. Is there a strip going behind the desk? I wonder if you could add a backlight to the monitor itself, or if that would be too much. I feel like there's a certain subtleness too it right now that you wouldn't want to lose.

Maybe the headphones could be placed differently. My main nitpick is that one of them blocks the view of the monitor(speaker) behind it. Personally, I like the under-desk mounts like this.

Plant life could get you some aesthetic points too. It looks like there may not be much natural light available though, so that may or may not be a possibility.

It's even worse because of the huge misalignment. Tape some guidelines at least?

The first one was a lot of fun, even though I was pretty shit at it and didn't have anyone to play it with at the time.

How might it be improved, in your opinion?

I feel like I used to have that same feeling too, and I think that may be the wrong mindset to have about how to use it. I think it's almost like a subconscious expectation that corporate social media has trained into us, which has been draining our drive for healthy interactions online.

I'm still mostly a lurker on Mastodon, but I'm trying to see the platform as more of an open way to broadcast yourself to certain audiences. I'm trying to realize it's potential in how it can allow healthy, self-perpetuating interactions in a way that's kind of different from the types of interactions you get from content aggregators.

I've noticed that it kind of builds on itself over time, if you continue to use it and continue to browse the explore feeds and stuff like that. Anyway, maybe don't give up on it just yet?

Why though? It's not innovative and looks pretty much like a cookie cutter copy of 8bitdo's design.

I hope that I'm wrong, but this seems like it's just going to contribute to (even more) oversaturation.

I could see delivery drivers really appreciating this. They deserve a break.
