FAQ

I live in Jamaica/Canada/Belize/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now there's cheese dust all over my cards!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on Reddit karma, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Ending soon (20)

FAQ

I live in Colombia/Canada/Costa Rica/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my coffee is cold!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on the misery of others, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Niue/Canada/Haiti/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my favourite Facebook ads won't load!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on dQw4w9WgXcQ, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Nicaragua/Canada/Colombia/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my vacuum cleaner sucks!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on second-tier magic, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Colombia/Canada/Niue/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now the great old ones have awaken!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on blood and tiers, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Mexico/Canada/Bahamas/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my browser history is full of sexy stuff!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on meatballs and schnapps, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

A quick disclaimer regarding Backerkit: They have redesigned their website again, which of course broke the crawler. I will try to get it working again as soon as possible, but until then, there won't be any Backerkit projects included in the lists.

FAQ

I live in Colombia/Canada/Ecuador/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now Microsoft support won't take my calls anymore!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on single malt whisky, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

It still looks a bit quirky in Kbin sadly (especially on mobile where it gets very squished), but at least it should work in Lemmy now.

Sorry for the slow update! I've fixed quite a few issues, especially related to the bookmarks button, so see if it works better now!

So it seems like the table formatting bug as finally been fixed in Kbin. In other words, the inline lists are back!

Yeah, I found a few more bugs that was introduced as a result of the recent changes in Kbin. I've been away with work last week, but I'll try to look into it in the next coming days.

This is however not something I think we, as consumers, should necessarily celebrate. This also means that we are very likely nearing the end of the "free" web that we are used to.

No, I'm not saying that selling out one's personal integrity is preferable, but if it turns out that advertisement as a business model effectively isn't sustainable, we will just have to accept the reality that we will more and more commonly have to actually pay to access content and services on the web.

Oof, I'm sorry, but perhaps it was a matter of expectations. I feel that the problem that I had with the show was that it started off on the premise of some Fallout-style retro futurism, with what I guess one could call "dangerous techno optimism" of the 50's and 60's.

However, beyond the first episode where the woman gets killed by the automated postal car, this never really gets explored much further than some occasional background elements. The story could just as well have been set in the actual 50's and it wouldn't have changed much.

Now normally, I don't generally have issues with character driven stories where the setting comes secondary (e.g. Ted Lasso is a character driven comedy set on the backdrop of football), but in this case it was the setting that actually interested me to begin with.

It's a shame, because all the individual pieces, from acting, to scenery and atmosphere were great, it's just that the show never clicked with me in the end, because it wasn't what I thought it would be.

They are probably reusing a component that happens to sort its entries alphabetically, since that is most commonly the expected behaviour. If the form is configured in a CMS, whoever built it might not even know it's happening and has entered the data properly, but it gets resorted in the presentation layer. It's also not impossible that the behaviour of the component has changed at some point and this particular case didn't have test coverage or wasn't actually part of the specification.

Apple TV+ started rather slow, but the quality of the shows is just insane, and not just when it comes to scifi. So far, the only show that I didn't like from TV+ was Hello Tomorrow, which had a lot of style and potential, but just never went anywhere.

  1. I think this has already been fixed in KES. They seem to have had compatibility issues with scripts that add icons to the toolbar menu. I was going to look into it today, but as far as I can see, things seem to be working at the moment (except for some overlapping functionality that probably shouldn't be enabled at the same time).

  2. It's a great project they're working on and I don't rule out anything of course, but I feel that it somewhat goes against the very reason why I'm doing this. I see KUP as essentially a personal test bench to try out some new stuff without having to deal with code reviews or CCBs. The end goal is to see what works well and then port that functionality over to the Kbin core project.

As you might have seen, I've already ported parts of the KUP style settings panel to Kbin, and I have some more projects in the pipeline (that is if they are accepted into the project, which is not guaranteed of course).

It appears that it has been fixed in KES such that the icons don't collide anymore. Nevertheless, I've added a new option in version 2.8 to enable an alternative placement of the mobile menu, in case there are any other compatibility issues with other scripts in the future.
