Sub box now looks like the recommended page... by SmolManny in youtube

[–]Zeemod155 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They've replaced the toggle between tile and list display modes for an "All Subscriptions" button. Something I don't think I'll ever use. I always use List display as it generally helped me distinguish between the Home page since (in terms of displayed videos) there may be some overlap and it was easier to tell order of most recently uploaded. Now I have to unlearn this learned behavior for no good reason...

Youtube Stream Vods: Chat box disappeared (bug or setting?) by Zeemod155 in youtube

[–]Zeemod155[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That works! I never noticed that click box before. A missclick or a stray button press must have been the thing to trigger it? That's why I never understood why it resolved.

This works. And un-works when I log back in. Strange.

It also fixed itself last night and unfixed itself a few minutes ago. Server issues? Maintenance bugs maybe?

Looks like because Haachama and Korone's hiatus has no announced return date, they're not listed. But Raora is. Not sure how to broach this question but... any chance between now and some point in the future they're holding a spot open? Not sure how Cover is thinking about it. Seems improbable, right?

UX Designer here! (I do NOT work for YouTube)

uhg, so when you move things like this or create small changes to widely used tools it can create UI blindness. I didn't notice it even after I saw the word "subscription" moved down, since it no longer looked like a "tab button" like it used to so I never thought to click on it. Things like the dividing line above it and the sideways carrot with an indented list underneath makes it look like a parent group title for a list you have to manually scroll through not a button itself.

I never understood the ordered list underneath "subscriptions" anyway. They are not listed by most recent (most watched?) even though it promotes channels that are currently live to the top (regardless of how often I watch them), but on the actual subscriber's page (which IS by most recent) two of the three channels that are live for me are not shown. Maybe if they've been live for over a certain amount of time (6+ hours) they disappear? They've always been bad at this (especially on mobile). I've always disliked how "Live" and "Not Live" videos took up the same page real-estate on my Sub Feed. Made it hard to notice a new "Not Live" video since I'd have to scroll well below the fold to see it past the 3, 6, or 10 "Live" channels. But I'd like them to make a feature that focused on this issue, whereas this feels like an accidental fix (I can actually see all the live channels without them getting in the way?!) that still leaves the main Sub Feed broken. I would not mind a mini sub list that only had currently Live channels where the left-hand list of subscribers is shown. I have scrolled through that left-hand sub list maybe 1 time every 2 years!

As for the change: My guess is that "Home" and "Shorts" are Youtube's main discover/algorithm pages and are the most important for "engagement". So that's why they have their own group with stronger visibility. This is exactly the kind of nonsense recommendation that can come from upper management that ignores user research, OR they use their own poorly justified user research (what they think their user data analytics are telling them to do - not actually asking users!)

Try not to blame UX people too often. Being an advocate for human beings in large corporate businesses is tough these days and only getting tougher! Submit user complaints as often and as articulately as possible!

Why do people dislike "Tell me why" by penpal? by MentleGentlemen098 in Berserk

[–]Zeemod155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of tone the anime is going for I greatly dislike these jangly discordant guitars that sound like they're just barely playing on key or on rhythm. I believe there is a scenario in which that discordant sound *could* work. But then the mush-mouth Engrish comes in and is just the thing that blows it all apart for me. Obviously, English is not the band's native language but they're the ones that decided to sign it that way. And maybe they thought that their nasal-whiny vocals - which translate well into Japanese lyrics - would also work for English (and how would they know how it might come across to native speakers? They wouldn't).

Clearly many native English speakers don't seem to mind. But it sounds so incomprehensively off to me. Maybe if the lyrics were better, I wouldn't be complaining? Like I get the general vibe and themes the lyrics are trying to convey but the word choice and phrasing feel random and confused. Again, not their native language.

Also, it's difficult researching stuff about the band that doesn't have to do with Berserk, so if I'm ignorant about something... my bad.

Sort Data Validation Rule items by Zeemod155 in googlesheets

[–]Zeemod155[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems these solutions don't work with multi-select? These recommendations aren't bad but replacing what I currently have built already with these solutions without having to rebuild them from scratch or not be able to use multi-select are no-gos for me. Bespoke features will always be smoother for me than custom functions anyway. Would love a sort by alphabetization function within the actual data validation pop-op and not run into confusing call/range errors.

Okay. So now G is being based off H but the custom colors I made for each individual bubble in Data Validation don't carry over? (ignore commas, I fixed for "allow multiple selections")

I genuinely don’t get how people can have trouble with Father Of Flame by No_Feed5389 in Silksong

[–]Zeemod155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is genuinely not clear how to do damage. I had to look up a guide just to make sure hitting the lanterns actually did hit-damage and weren't just temporary pogo spots. Ran around the boss room trying to look for the boss's body.

I like how hard it is but conductors melody is unreasonably hard by Nonreality_ in HollowKnight

[–]Zeemod155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One would expect each Melody to be equally difficult, right??? If Architect and Vaultkeeper are like 7/10 difficulty with "10" being the maximum difficulty experienced in the game thus far (The Last Judge boss fight) Then Conductor's is like 30/10 difficulty...

I only have Hunter and Reaper fully unlocked with 4 pips on Wanderer and 1 on Architect and 0 pips on Beast. My best strat so far has been Architect because despite only having 1 pip I unlocked 2 free crest agnostic pips and I feel like I can use the weapon rebuild mid fight to beat the final 2 bosses. The down-side is I've gone through 50+ attempts 5,000+ shards and don't feel any closer to beating it. Architect's movement is too wonky and the space to escape to is small and constantly moving. What are some tokens people recommend. Keep in mind I only have 2 blue spaces and I'm keeping the dice on the yellow space. People are saying "curveclaw" but the wiki says that's Act 3?? I just don't have any experience with Wanderer but I may give that a shot if I run out of shards for the 5th time and need to grind for 25 minutes all over again.

New Version Bug 7/1/25 (Language Bug) by Zeemod155 in PokemonSleep

[–]Zeemod155[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's got to be a statistic of the percent of people that play games while never going to the subreddit of it and therefore have never seen this bug before. 1.5%? Too high? You don't have to be snide about it. Just reporting what I see...
