Haven't posted much since "i got back", people have been asking me if I'm just playing WoW all day, which isn't not true, but I have also been putting in a lot of prompts and working on things behind the scenes, just haven't found the time to post, and this will barely count as one.
Had an idea today about a way to easily look for random movie/tv show scrobbles that people have logged, other than clicking the random review button that we already have, I came up with a "scrobble wall", that I wanted to share with you today. It's not yet live, I'm not a big fan of the zoom/enlargement yet, but will probably go live soon so thought I'd share it here along with some words.
The cool thing about this will be the filtering system, for instance it could start off with movies you've watched somewhat highlighted and in the center, then we could let data do its thing where next to those would be movies somewhat relevant in terms of genre or year or rating around the ones you've watched, maybe also based on actors compared to your scrobbles. Maybe even based on your followers. Other filters could be to have the highest rated scrobbles in the center with lower ones on the outskirts, etc.
The main idea is of course for you to find something another hiver has watched that you may not have watched, you could then simply open it (which didn't work in the video as it's still in local testing mode) and check who it was that's watched them and what they had to say about it or the rating they gave.
Anyway, similar things could also be done with music later on, books, anime, manga, all kinds we have on scrobble.life already! Different kind of interacts than a wall could potentially also be created later on, but this is good enough for starters I think.
Let me know what you think!
I've been working on a couple more games as well for scrobble.life/games as well as finetuning some of them, a new one for those who follow my posts but haven't checked the page are a fishing game called holo reel!
Then there's a new one I'm working on I'm not so sure if I'll release in its current state, but let's see how it evolves. The only thing I currently lack is time testing them properly as I'm busy leveling up in WoW. xD
Testers welcomed!
It's like going into Family Video when I was a kid and seeing all the VHS boxes!
VHS was a good time! When I was a kid I used to record a lot of anime and then use VHS to pause them so I could draw and turn them into manga. :D
That is cool! I was never much of a drawer, so that wasn't really an option for me :)
Back then we picked movies just because the picture on the VHS box looked cool, and it was awesome.
Checking what real people here actually liked is way better than trusting Netflix. That wall makes it super easy to pick a movie.
Heh that's one of the points of scrobble.life so I appreciate the comment!
The concept and the picture you shared of the "Scrobble Wall" are incredibly creative! Working in silence always brings the best results. I'd also love to volunteer as a tester for your new games. Keep up the great work
Testing out the new games sounds fun, especially that fishing one he mentioned. The wall layout looks super clean too.
A great idea indeed. Because most of the times, I find it hard to go for another watch, especially when I have watched the previous one. Like rn, I am pretty much occupied with "The Mentalist," and I know for sure that once it ends; I am going to be in a certain void, lol. So, the next thing I do after such scenario is to google for something, or just ask my brother, as he has watched way lots of stuff. The only field where I beat him is: books. Anyways, not to keep yapping, so to me it is a great idea.
One query: is it possible to pick genre wise?
And btw what is "WoW"?
I think connecting people through shared interests is one of the best ways to build an engaged community.
If got bored with WoW Forever after 3 days, wish I hadnt bothered!
The high-rating reviews one would be the option I wouldn't activate, because from what I've seen, people give a 100 to just about anything 🤯🤯. It would be much more useful to me by genres 🤔🤔
