definitely agree. I don’t control our host’s policy but i will pass that along. some bot traffic is allowed- we were on the join-lemmy site two days ago and i have a bot running this very minute- i think they’re still just trying to dial in the right balance between two much and not enough security

are manual additions allowed? our host’s security blocks some bot traffic and is currently not playing nicely with the stats crawler

this is my first real experience with wildfire haze and i gotta tell ya, not a fan

these are fantastic, well done!

I’m running See You Space Cowboy tomorrow and then playing in a fantasy hack of it on Thursday. sure is easy keeping track of mechanics that way! i’ve also got a copy of Blueholme (holmes basic dnd retroclone) i’m dying to run eventually

The Steam version of Sonic Adventure is a bad port of a bad port, but just downloading the mod manager itself undoes one of those bads and the Dreamcast Conversion mod undoes the other, and that’s not even getting into the crazy stuff people have done like hack Klonoa and their mechanics into the game

if you have a few members may as well keep it open, we all benefit from variety

oh awesome!

knuckles the echidna

that’s awesome, i’ll definitely have to visit. thanks!

I can tell you that the api itself can be found at instance.com/api/v3/, and that you can for example get recent posts with instance.com/api/v3/post/list, and you can replace post with community or comment to get the same, but I learned that much from error messages messing with lemmy-js-client. unfortunately i don’t think the raw http api is posted anywhere

I’m very envious of people who were able to grow up with BBSes. I caught the very tail end of the phpBB/MyBB days but this seems like a whole 'nother level. it’s nice to know they’re still kicking though- one of these days i’ll finally get a network cart and join the fray

without games their lives would be much more boaring

i really want AR to take off but bigger devices with higher price tags is probably not the way

i’ve been saying we need a COBOL/CICS implementation of ActivityPub for YEARS and it’s always the same “where the hell am i supposed to get a 3270 in 2023” and “what do you mean i can’t shitpost during the batch window”

3D platformers are seeing a bit of a resurgence on the indie level at least which is pretty exciting. In particular I’d recommend the Spark the Electric Jester series (although the 1st is 2D) and Lunistice in particular

I liked Balan Wonderworld. i didn’t love it, but i certainly don’t understand the hate- I haven’t ran into any bugs, some of the powers were neat, the music was phenomenal, and the simple controls were a selling point for me. it was like playing a new Dreamcast game in 2023 for better or for worse, another Billy Hatcher or something.

I think Lemmy already solved this problem way better than Mastodon has ever done. The flow of wanting to “join Lemmy” to there actually being a join-lemmy site, and then you click join a server and there’s a recommended one or two right at the top, with plenty of activity and are run well but not neccisarily the biggest kid on the block. i guess the one big stumbling point is that people might get stuck on joining versus hosting a server- maybe the instance list should be the front page of the site and if you know enough to want more info then you can go deeper, and if not you click the first one and go

that’s like picking a favorite child

it was a nice try but i just don’t see a market for a centralized mastodon clone
