Rodent themed videogames
  • I thought I'd like Tails of Iron, but its biggest issue is that it tries to forgo dialogue with mouse squeaks. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I heavily suggest you watch the first few minutes of gameplay to figure out if you can endure it.

  • Feds doing corporate Canada’s dirty work with rail arbitration order
  • I get that you're trying to say that the NDP was able to do something, but there's no evidence they were consulted on it. Given that it lasted less than a day before the strike was stopped, it was probably something the government didn't discuss long.

  • Feds doing corporate Canada’s dirty work with rail arbitration order
  • The action was taken by a cabinet member to order the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to step in. The CIRB isn't controlled by any party. Singh came out with a statement that condemns the move, and says it signals that any federally-regulated field doesn't have to negotiate with workers in good faith. I don't know where you heard that any party has the ability to stop this other than the party who the current Minister of Labour belongs to, but no action was taken that needed to pass the House.

  • Who is in your matchmaking trio?
  • I love McGinnis. I'm actually pretty good with McGinnis. But it seems that every other hero I've tried fails to click. Not really sure where to go with it, but the other two slots are always heroes that I hope will maybe work today.

  • What a piece of media that has a surprising amount of lore/back story attached with it?
  • There's a couple of odd vids that Adult Swim has put out from Alan Resnick, like May I Enter Please? and Unedited Footage of a Bear. There's one vid that's just as weird as them called This House Has People In It, but the notable thing is this 12-minute video has a whole ARG behind it, enough to fill a video explaining the lore for over an hour and a half.

  • A message to the community from our game director
  • Dead by Daylight does the opt-in beta thing. Progress doesn't transfer from one to the other, but unlocks are handled by just unlocking everything. The bonus of this, as opposed to in-house only, is that players can see what's coming and give at least some chance for feedback before release. The downside is that there's only one iteration, beta, then release, and sometimes things that worked in the beta are broken in release. I'm not saying that this should replace an in-house sandbox, but as an addition it helps devs get thousands of eyes on it and lets the community voice issues before they become semi-permanent.

  • As Helldivers 2 struggles after the new update, Arrowhead's CEO promises fixes while also expressing disappointment in how it's performed.
  • I've played maybe 15 rounds since the update, but only found one mission-related bug. We completed both sub-objectives for an ICBM, and it told us that we could extract without launching the missile. And given we had 2 reinforcements left, we sure weren't looking a gift horse in the mouth.

    Private message security issue for Lemmy 0.18.5
    github.com Any authenticated user may obtain private message details from other users on the same instance

    ### Summary Users can report private messages, even when they're neither sender nor recipient of the message. The API response to creating a private message report contains the private message it...

    Any authenticated user may obtain private message details from other users on the same instance

    Users can brute-force their way into reading private messages with Lemmy versions below 0.19.1. I know there was the question of federation issues previously, but it appears to have been largely mitigated with the later versions at this point. Are there any plans to upgrade pawb.social?

    Using inbox dropdowns while browsing inbox crashes app

    Opening the inbox automatically brings up "mentions," but if you want to see private messages, you can click at the top and choose "all messages." Clicking any of those options though will crash the app. You can still access those options through the side window, just not the dropdown at the top while viewing the inbox.

    Analytics for my first year drawing

    I started drawing in January of this year, and finally finished up my first piece in early February. Since then I've been trying to improve on it, and I decided to look back to see if there were any real metrics that could show I made decent progress.

    The most obvious first step was to take a look at the upvotes I'd gotten:

    !

    Also, NSFW stats:

    !

    And, overall, it's a mixed bag. Lemmy definitely has a longer running time for keeping posts alive (it helps that there's fewer posts here), and Reddit has the issue that if your post isn't noticed inside 2 hours, it won't be picked up at all. There's no real sign of definite progress on Reddit, though Lemmy does seem to see at least some uptick in this metric, though that could be attributed to c/furry growing.

    So, there's the next obvious metric, upvote percentage:

    !

    !

    Reddit drops these metrics after 40 days, so I have no idea what it's like for the majority of my posts. Generally though, the response is more positive on Lemmy than Reddit, but it might be a bit too early to tell if the percentages are actually meaningful, or if the community doesn't downvote good content just because it's not their type, and upvotes are a more meaningful metric.

    And, finally, FurAffinity:

    !

    There's not a lot of items there, either. If I post something good, I might get a fav. If I post something really good, I might get 2. Like Reddit, if it's not noticed inside a short window, it appears to get buried. The one exception appears to be this piece, which has gotten fav'd repeatedly over time. Watches, on the other hand, appear to be entirely random--or it could be my work's just not good enough to get people wanting me on their feed.

    So, just some lessons from my time over the last year:

    • Memes are faster and lower-effort to draw, but get a lot bigger response (yes, I know, groundbreaking statement of the year).
    • Time and effort spent don't equate to response. I know, it's another obvious statement, but until you've spent weeks on something for nothing, it doesn't quite sink in.
    • Either a) I've not become a better artist, or b) these metrics aren't the full picture, and I also suck at promoting myself. I'm hoping it's the latter.

    Regardless, it's been a big journey, and I hope it's only the start. I came to Lemmy from Reddit after the API changes, and overall, c/furry's been an open, welcoming, and most importantly positive place. I love it here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it continue to grow.
