DavidWest's Discussions

Tags are a great way to make content more discoverable.

1. When submitting tags, we use the comma , as the divider. We do not use the hash tag sign #
2. Tags should be relevant to the content
3. Tags should be of main features of the content. Small, barely visible parts of the image should not be tagged
4. Tags that are generic should use () to make them more specific.
   1. For example, the tag Isaac would be considered too generic. There are many Issaics.
   2. Isaac (The Orville) would be a better tag.
5. Tagging all of the fictional characters in a collage is OK
6. Tagging all the parts of the body on a tiger, or every piece of clothing on a character, is not OK.

Captions are one of the ways you can interact and have fun with content at Alpha Coders!

1. Captions should describe the image.
2. Captions should generally be more than one word, and add more value than a single tag could
3. Captions can be voted as either accurate or funny. You can vote for one or the other on each caption.
4. Captions with fewer words that do a good job of describing an image are better than long winded generic descriptions
5. The most accurate voted caption will be used as the name of the content.
6. Funny captions are great, but won't be used as the final name.
7. If you submitted author or creator content, you have 100% control over the name - none of the captions submitted will overwrite your given name for your work.

Daily Tasks:

1. Check emails on admin@alphacoders.com. Repond to any that need responding to, forward ones you are unsure of to davidwest@alphacoders.com
   1. Always make sure to be nice/positive.
   2. Most ad network emails don't need a response. However, if we currently work with an ad network, emails from them would be considered important. The companies are: Google, Amazon, Exponential, TotalMediaSolutions
2. Make sure no content has been waiting in the moderator hub for too long. Clear anything that has been waiting for 20 hours or more.

After playing through Super Mario Odyssey - I think it's a great game

I don't think Nintendo knocked it out of the park quite as significantly as they did with Breath of the Wild - but I still think it's a wonderful game to have in the Mario universe.

So I finally was able to watch Made in Abyss. I liked it - but I really hope season 2 ends up being better

I actually just started playing it It takes a while for the days to get short and the rain to start falling here in California

I'll update my opinion once I have some more time in the game. I played a bit of Persona 3 but that was quite a bit after it was released. I'm really enjoying the style - and the pacing is fine so far for me.

I've played No Man's Sky starting at the 1.2 path, and now onto the latest (1.31 I believe). At this point it's one of my favorite games. I think if you are interested in the theme, and were initially disappointed, it's worth your time to give it another shot.

It's still a collect-a-thon and inventory management is less than ideal - but they've made a ton of improvements. I'm starting to look forward to what Hello Games does next.

I have finally tried Silicon Valley - and it just didn't hit. Normally when an HBO series is so critically acclaimed I'll enjoy it - oh well

Yeah I watched all the shorts Nothing crazy, but I do think they help. I get that they couldn't really make the movie any longer than it already was

Blade Runner 2049 is one of the rare examples of a great sequel. In a lot of ways it's better than the original - but put them together and you have an absolutely wonderful franchise.

If you are on the fence about seeing Blade Runner 2049 - go see it

Best of all time....

Dragon Ball Z... maybe. I have to think a bit more. But I'm a sucker for things like Dragon Ball Z, Hunter X Hunter, and more recently My Hero Academia.

Apparently I need to watch Made In Abyss

With Nintendo traditionally having less-powerful machines than competitors, I think they actually require that of their developers pretty often But it really is impressive.

I really liked episode 37 - because of All Might. It's great seeing overwhelming power, even if it's not absolute and a little broken

I'm not a huge player of online FPS games. This is partially due to how awful I am at them... ok that's most of it Still, every time I see someone play Battlefield 1, I am always in awe of just how amazing the environments look. Honestly I think the game is worth playing for at least a few hours just to be immersed in the environments.
