  • In my very limited experience with my personal instance, I’ve had to give federation time for it to start working as expected. When I started out, sometimes I wouldn’t find posts or my comments wouldn’t show on the instance a post came from and whatnot, don’t notice that anymore. Could easily be something wonky on my end though, I’m not sure.
    One thing that I still find extremely confusing and unintuitive is searching for a not yet federated community doesn’t return any results, but also immediately makes the community visible in the “all” view if it does indeed exist. I was under the impression it’d just show the community link there and then so I assumed it was broken for the longest time, for all I know that’s actually how it’s supposed to go and I still have something broken somewhere lol.


  • Ohh so that’s what it was lol, I’d assumed it was auto saving at first as well but got confused when it didn’t seem to generate an actual new save slot. At any rate, I reckon it’s a good thing it was generous enough that I didn’t even register it had limits in place to begin with.

    Looking forward to the crew interactions too, seems ripe for a fun time since the game doesn’t take itselt too seriously and they all look interesting and seem to have fun abilities.


  • I’ve played several, mostly games I’ve been following so no huge surprises. My highlights were:

    Lies of P
    Great soulslike built on a grim take on Pinocchio. Borrows a lot from Bloodborne, oppressive and interesting world, satisfying combat.

    Sea of Stars
    Super charming JRPG I’ve been looking forward to for a while, great pixel art, fun combat system with timed hits, great music.

    LunarLux
    Very similar to a Mega Man Battle Network game, but combat leans more towards the turn based side of the spectrum. Has some Undertale influences as well. The art being as cute as it is might turn some off, but it’s a plus for myself.

    Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew
    Strategy game from the folks behind Shadow Tactics and Desperados. You control undead pirates with unique and fun abilities, and the game encourages you to rewind time as needed to experiment and play around.

    Honorable mentions go to Eternights and Viewfinder. Fantastic games all around, the following months are looking great!














  • Brainstorming a bit, I think wiring up InfluxDB, Grafana plus some convenient way of inputting all those data sources sounds ideal. As a time series database, keeping track of how data evolves over time is InfluxDB’s whole thing, Grafana or similar would be for visualizing said data. I guess the complicated part would be getting your data sources to write to it in a convenient way, not sure if there’s a generic enough project out there already.
    Looking around a bit, not too dissimilar to what this blog post has done.
