I also have two Ferris sweeps. My error was that I bought 3 pin switched, which wont sit right in place without a case. 5 pin switches(those with the 2 extra plastic pins at the bottom), will sit perfectly fine and straight without a case. So if you have 3 pin switches, that could be the problem with the “bad looking grid”. I currently have a silent one with Gazzew Bobas and a loud one with Kaihl Owls.
My favorite currently is Basic Fantasy. But I don’t know how well it is for solo play. One where the core rules are free and which has solo play is Ironsworn.
Edit: If you search the Basic Fantasy Forums you’ll find quite a lot of solo stuff as it seems. For example: https://www.basicfantasy.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4093
Guix is another one. https://guix.gnu.org/
Tanks of Freedom and UnCiv are two I quite enjoyed.
Thanks for the explanation. :)
I am also not the biggest fan of the MIT License for the reasons mentioned in this article. There also is the LGPL as a permissive version of the GPL and I wonder how it really differs from MIT.
They seem to also run bookwyrm. :D https://books.solarpunk.moe/
Lots of great improvements. But as long as there is no desktop client they can improve talk as much as they want. Most companies will require a desktop client for their chat solution.
First of, its not really about finishing a complete game. a small working prototype of a game idea is more what most gamejams are targetted at.
I usually try to make a list of things i need to do to get my game done and then make a plan in which order i will tackle them. That helps me to be a bit more organized and get at least something done.
Joining the Chat and talking to the other jamers is also a great way to stay motivated/focused. :)
Its only 4 days(out of 14) as it seems. Also the goals/general themes of the two jams are pretty different. Also with the amount of gamejams currently its pretty hard not to clash with any other jam.
Dino is the only xmpp desktop client that doesnt look like its from 2005. Its simple to use, has a clean user interface and every feature you need to chat. The only other viable one is profanity, but thats tui. Hope that the big next update on gajim makes that one usable again.
I use xmpp on a daily basis. And also with “regular” people. There is quicksy.im , which lets people register with their phone number and then they have “<phonenumber>@quicksy.im” as their jabber id. That makes it very accessible to people that want a more “whats app” like experience when it comes to setup.
Matrix and XMPP are fundamentaly different. XMPP is at its core a messaging protocol, where the server primarly functions as the relay(Archiving on server side exists and is widely used though). Matrix is more like a cloud storage for your message, your clients sync with. I currently run both, a matrix and an xmpp server and the resource usage is completely different. You can easily host an xmpp server for 100 people with some bigger rooms on a super small vps, on matrix you can host at max 10 people and preferably no rooms on a vps the same size. So resource usage is very heavy on the matrix side. One thing that matrix has though is a shiny, feature rich webtech based client, which many people prefer and i get that. Yet they have millions in vc funding to develop such a client, which xmpp doesn’t have.
The Term “Fediverse” already existed before ActivityPub.
Yes, propably. Or i think something like this would work fine as well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5192069
