This is Dim Sum Labs' Public HackJam meet. Free! Everyone is welcome to join us. If you are an engineer, designer, programmer, artist, creator, innovator, visionary, entrepreneur, or inventor, join us for an evening of thought-provoking conversations. Or better yet, bring your projects, ask for help, and show them off. \-\-\- This week we have two visitors showing off their projects. **Pomoduino:** Torrey Nommesen, a guy who loves to travel, hang out with makers, and learn new things is showing off his Arduino-based productivity timer on a PCB that uses the Pomodoro Technique. In this session, I’ll briefly explain how the Pomodoro method boosts focus, then we’ll dive in and solder the timer together from scratch. You’ll walk away with a functional gadget for your desk and a practical technique for your toolkit. This project is his excuse to connect, share skills, and learn from this amazing community and hopefully to help fund my habit of exploring hacker spaces worldwide. You'll be able to build one and take it home from between 80-250HKD. **Rendering and serving 400 clients on a phone:** Valentin Burov is a roboticist by day and runs DigitRaver out of San Francisco by night. He’s visiting DSL to give a microtalk on how he scaled the virtual event space to serve 10x the users of Fortnite per shard. We’ll go beyond the traditional optimizations and talk about memory congruency, data oriented design, and how to not throw the kitchen sink and use only what you need for your 3D app. Then we’ll show off the gains in a live demo via chaos monkeys \-\-\- This is also your chance to test the space before becoming a member. Members have access to the space and all the [equipment within](https://www.dimsumlabs.com/equipment/), 24/7 for a very reasonable price!

Join us for dinner and discussion about queer books! For our next book, we will be reading **‘The Safekeep’** by **Yael van der Wouden**. **Blurb** An exhilarating, twisted tale of desire, suspicion, and obsession between two women staying in the same house in the Dutch countryside during the summer of 1961—a powerful exploration of the legacy of WWII and the darker parts of our collective past. A house is a precious thing... It is 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is truly over. Living alone in her late mother’s country home, Isabel knows her life is as it should be—led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva, leaving her at Isabel’s doorstep as a guest, to stay for the season. **The Plan** 19:30 Meeting @ the restaurant 19:45 Dinner & discussion 21:15 Choosing a book for March 21:30 End **Dinner** The name of the restaurant will be announced in the WhatsApp group chat. **What to do** 1\.

🎭 ［“善”事揭露］桌遊活動主辦者的潛意識動機與可能影響（心理剖析） 今期和大家談談桌遊。此活動看似輕鬆娛樂、社交促進，但在某些情況下，主辦者的動機可能並不如表面所見那麼單純。這次和大家逐一探索揭秘。 從心理操控、社會動力、角色投射等角度來看，這些活動有時成為一種「非正式權力場域」，主導者在其中不知不覺地建構了一個可操控的微型社會。 以下是一些潛藏心理現象與可能造成的影響： 1. 權力感投射：在遊戲中扮演上帝角色 主辦者能決定玩什麼、誰參加、怎樣開始和結束，在無形中建立起一種「控制秩序」的快感。遊戲規則就像法律，而主持就是法官、立法者和執行者的三合一。 👁️ 心理暗示：以遊戲為名，行規訓之實。 --- 2. 透過社交篩選建立「圈內人」制度 部分主辦者會有意無意地建立一種「我們 vs 他們」的結構，讓新手感到疏離，老玩家形成權力核心。這種微結構可強化主辦者的地位，因為人們會依賴他來「入圈」。 👁️ 心理暗示：將社交變成邀請制，讓人為被接納而妥協。 待續，慢慢到戲肉不用急🤭

Whether you're a local looking to practice a new language or an exchange student wanting to meet new people, this event is perfect for you. Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant environment **Why we host the event in Central Market?** In 1990, the Central Market building was graded as a Grade III historic building by the Antiquities Advisory Board. After multiple rounds of study and consultation, the revitalization project for the Central Market building began in October 2017. Upon completion, a portion of the market stalls will be preserved. the Central Market's historical significance makes it an attractive venue for hosting various types of events that can celebrate Hong Kong's rich heritage and cultural identity. Please grab a dink and enjoy! **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*Please support and buy some foods or drink in Central market\*\*\*\*\*\*\***

5.以娛樂為包裝的價值觀輸入 _選擇什麼遊戲，就是傳達什麼世界觀。_ 每一款桌遊背後都潛藏一套價值觀： - 有的強調背叛與欺騙； - 有的鼓勵合作與信任； - 有的呈現資源掠奪與階級制度； - 有的建構烏托邦式秩序。 主辦者長期傾向於選擇某一類型的遊戲，可能並非偶然。這種重複性的選擇，其實就是在潛移默化地輸出一種*特定的世界觀與人際觀*。例如： - 偏好背叛遊戲者，可能潛意識相信「信任是愚蠢的」； - 偏好優勝劣敗機制者，或許認為「人生就是競爭」； - 偏好合作遊戲者，可能渴望「控制團隊節奏」來實現掌控感。 這些價值觀不會明說，但會滲透進參與者的行為模式與認知結構。久而久之，一個常參加特定主辦者活動的群體，可能會逐漸內化那些*被默默灌輸的思想模板*。 👁️ *貼地提醒*：唔係遊戲教你點做人，而係主辦人用遊戲教你點睇世界，左右你價值觀。 --- 6. 以活動為形式的人格測試場 _你係邊類人？主辦者可能已經有答案。_ 某些主辦者對心理學、人格分析、MBTI、九型人格等有濃厚興趣，甚至熱衷於將這些理論應用在活動設計與人群觀察上。這樣的主辦者可能： - 觀察誰在壓力下會妥協、誰會反抗； - 留意誰善於操控局勢、誰容易情緒化； - 測試不同「人格類型」在不同遊戲類型的表現； - 在活動後私下歸類、評價、選擇「下一次要唔要再邀」。 這種行為本質上是一種*非正式的人格分析實驗*，主辦者將參加者當作「樣本」，而不是單純的朋友或玩家。參加者並不知情自己正被歸檔、標籤，甚至可能因此被排除於未來活動之外。 更深層的問題在於：這種分類並非基於專業診斷，而是出於主辦者主觀判斷，容易造成*社交偏見*與*角色定型*。 👁️ *貼地提醒*：你以為你係朋友，可能你只係一個測試結果，與他內心盤算中的一隻棋子。 --- 🧠 小結： 當主辦者的動機從「一起玩得開心」逐漸轉變為「建立影響力」、「操控互動」或「觀察人性」，整個桌遊活動便不再只是娛樂，而是一個充滿潛意識權力結構的微型社會。 參加者若缺乏察覺，很容易就成為這場「心理劇場」中的角色，而未必知道自己正在被觀察、操縱或分類。
