Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • It’s never stopped me from writing working stuff, or coming back to change it even if it’s all gone from my head.

    I give functions and variables descriptive, at times sentence-lenght names, which makes shit real obvius for myself.

    It also makes finding sections of code easier, because I just need to vaguely remember shit to ctrl+f my way to the right lines.

    Still means that whenever other people see my code they go “wtf dude, you live like this”.




  • Yes, but it’s behind what I use currently.

    I’ve made some significant changes. The current version maintains a database of artists I like, and their various socials so they can be linked in each post, and even checks danbooru and pixiv for new art from them.

    I also made it activity balance communities. Before, the random feature would just pick an image from a folder you give it, now it’ll try to pick something suitable for the community with the least posts queued.




  • No it doesn’t.

    It has a “players don’t know how to counter things, and just keep trying to turn it around by sweating harder, instead of adapting their build on the fly”.

    I got absolutely crushed yesterday in a match where the enemy Dynamo built pure CC. All he did was go around freezing my team and having his team wipe us multiple times.

    I was literally the only person on my team who bought unstoppable early on in order to counter him, and I did pull off some haze ults with multiple kills, but it wasn’t enough, because by the time I was done, I was still the sole survivor of my team.

    The rest of my team just proceeded to die over and over, allowing the other team to snowball past anything we could handle.

    In the game before that, I successfully shut down an Abrams that was out of control, simply by buying slowing hex (which disables his charge ability) and having a team that knew to focus him whenever I used it.

















  • I’d really appreciate it if you used paragraphs. Would make reading longer comments like that one a little nicer.

    Like you say, redundant activity is extremely difficult, and the second and third posters only show up when a community already seems active. It’s a catch 22.

    On Lemmy, as it is new, we are still in a phase where people like you and me who are out to post things, are more likely to create new communities instead of finding existing ones where the things they want to post would fit in.

    That’s kinda why I shifted gears and made actively looking out for posts that might fit in in more places part of the my deal. To get that redundancy and overlap going, so that even if I disappear, others might still be around posting similar stuff, and so that the people posting to their own communities, might start posting to each others communities, too.

    For the same reason, I want to see if I can get Mastodon users involved with the threadiverse. There are lots of artists over there, and they are already used to hashtags to make relevant things visible to people looking for it, so I don’t think it’s a stretch that if only the active users over there knew more about the threadiverse, there could be more interaction.

    Hopefully Mastodon’s support for groups will eventually bring even better interoperability.
