  • Yeah, I now have six hours in the game between last night and today. I actually finally just stopped after a few hour stretch.

    I’m having fun! But I also have seen some bugs. I can get behind waiting if some smaller bugs are annoying, but I’m enjoying the game quite a bit.

    I’m pretty happy that it runs alright on my Mac Mini M4. Starts up quick and gets going. It defaults to High settings but I turned the shadows down a bit just to keep things a little smoother.

    Yeah, this one guy has been trying to jumpstart so many projects. And that’s admirable, but it’s also too much for one dude (and I know he’s tried to get some other people, but there has been drama around that - by him, I think).

    But more to your point - something feels a little off even though I can’t confirm anything. It does feel like this guy might just take some money and run if given the chance.

    And I don’t necessarily blame him for that - I probably would too. I don’t want to work, and if I had money I wouldn’t.

    But there’s just this feeling I can’t shake about all of it. And I have a Pixelfed and a Loops account. They are both fine, so we’ll see, I guess. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I end back up with Mastodon being my sole social place for sharing photos, for example.





  • Hopefully this money will allow that ONE DUDE to get some help in managing these apps. I know he has maybe a couple of collaborators now, but maybe they can get some more dedicated people to build out the apps. It’s a lot for one or two people to try and spin up two apps at once.

    The Pixelfed app that dropped last week, for example, doesn’t even have a button to view the global feed. It’s better to just use the main website of whatever server you are on right now, even on your mobile device.








  • I wish there was an easy way to know which servers are getting hammered more than others.

    I can easily make a post to my server via the website, but the app was giving me trouble, as an example. That’s why I wonder where the hiccup is/was. Both the website and app are just interfaces to get data to a server, so if one doesn’t work I’d assume the other doesn’t too. But I dunno.

    Edit: After writing this I went back and tried posting from the app again. It finally worked! I guess things have settled down.
