+1 for Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) with Nextcloud / WebDAV for sync. I use the web clipper all the time.

self-promotion caveat: I'm building my sudoku game to be offline and fully accessible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=digital.cyberpuffin.sudoku

The only thing that might constitute an "ad" is a button on the main menu that leads to a promotion page for my print-on-demand book.

First time completing a compo, didn't get nearly as much of the game done as I wanted, but I'm quite happy with my year's progress.

Still no option to rate a game. Found a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ludumdare/comments/16xgv1k/i_dont_understand_how_to_rate_other_games/) that described the same, so I don't think it's just me.

Dragonsteel 2022's Spoilers Q&A was uploaded to youtube yesterday. Sharing because the Hoid answer, but there's loads of good stuff in there.

Some more context: Godot established the "Godot Development Fund" to accept donations directly (https://lemmy.ml/post/4815592).

Geez, quite a contrast from the Unity fee announcement (https://lemmy.world/post/4931345)

Image shows a grid of four columns and eight rows detailing the difference between four common types of file transfer: tftp, ftp, sftp, and scp; across eight data points: transfer protocol, standard port, speed overview, security overview, authentication support, encryption support, and connection orientation.

  • TFTP : UDP, port 69, Fast, Less Secure, No Authentication, No Encryption, and Connection-less
  • FTP: TCP, port 20, 21, Slow, Less Secure, Authentication, No Encryption, and Connection-oriented
  • SFTP: TCP, Port 22, Slow, Secure, Authentication, Encryption, and Connection-oriented
  • SCP: TCP, Port 22, Fast, Secure, Authentication, Encryption, and Connection-oriented

New post by lamaery with some sketches for Yumi and the Nightmare Painter.

American here. Thanks to woot regularly selling them, I have a bidet on each toilet in the house. I have a battery operated travel bidet, because now I'm hooked.

It has certainly led to.... "Interesting" responses from house guests. There's always TP in stock, so it's not required. Butt I'm never going back if I can help it.

You make valid points, however, I'd like to point out that most games on the play store don't cost a lot because the real costly transactions are in-app purchases. It's common, in my experience, for the popular free apps to have IAPs upwards of $100 for in-game currency.

There's also that matter of the no-cost version of the app. It seems perfectly usable, making the ad-removal an optional purchase.

Considering the smaller user-base and the finite economic value of life-time purchases I'd say $20 is fair. But that's my stated opinion and I have yet to put my money where my mouth is.

And where does poor Rankine sit?

These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations... before social media really perfected the art.

Ok, I'm going to get this out of the way first: I love Brandon Sanderson's work and the Cosmere is epic and awesome.

It took me some time to warm up to Secret Project #3. My biggest gripe is once again Kate Reading. This time it wasn't pronunciation or tempo, it was her reading in Hoid's voice. Nails on a freaking chalkboard.

The "Hoid-isms" are reduced as the book goes, so there are fewer occurrences of her mangling the Hoid I've grown to love (Michael Kramer) as the book goes. But holy crap that was jarring.

My unsolicited and unprofessional advice to Brandon for the next book that switches gendered perspectives is to have a different voice handling the narration during the female perspective.

I feel it would have been far improved to have the female perspective covered by ~~Pattern~~ Design / Kate with the male perspective being handled by Hoid / Michael.

  • Edit: I keep mixing up Pattern and Design. I swear I'm not racist, some of my best friends are cryptics.

It took about a dozen times of burning my pale shaven head to finally succumb. I wish I had started sooner. I have two presently, one with a fold-away cape (like in the picture) to cover the neck and shoulders, and one with a zip-away mosquito net that covers my whole head.

One of us! One of us! Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble.
