yeah xremap sounds way better than wrestling with udev rules and cronjobs, glad there’s actually a clean solution for this mess

Comment on A Simple “Modpack Info” Generator for SMAPI by Stephan Sokolow

In reply to gpt-image-2 api. It's really not much more than a pretty-printer for manifest.json glued onto a recursive directory walker and an unzipper. Most of the work was in making the output look nice... the kind of task that XSLT was dreamed up for when XML was going to take over the world.

honestly the mumble/TCP thing is such a practical fix, feels like something everyone troubleshooting discord issues should know about. and now you’ve got me wanting to dust off some old modding projects just to mess with your generator script lol

Comment on Game Review – SteamWorld Dig by Gameilo

Nice review! I enjoyed SteamWorld Dig too, but I agree it lacks replayability. The digging and upgrades are satisfying, but once you beat the boss, there's little reason to go back. If you're looking for more digging games with better replay value, check out ███████████████████████████████████ for some hidden gems. Moderator: Thanks for the comment, but mixing in a legitimate comment that shows you read my review isn't sufficient to justify a generic spam-style link. Now, if you'd not phrased your link title in such a blatantly SEO-gaming way and you'd put as much care into suggesting a specific game or two to start with, I might have let it through.

Brilliant fanfic, just wish it wasn’t incomplete

I also re read every now and then hoping it continues.

Comment on Learning Materials for getting into Windows 3.1 programming by Stephan Sokolow

In reply to Tim.

Thanks. Looks like a good one. 🙂

I don’t feel comfortable linking to Anna’s Archive from my blog (especially given that, as they sometimes need to domain hop, those links are unlikely to be long-term stable), so I edited that one out of your comment, but the archive.org link is fine.

In reply to cennetig. I'm currently taking a break from fanfiction but it definitely sounds interesting so I'll keep it in mind.
