I'm not sure if this is the best place for this cross-post, nor do I know how many users here occupy the parent+tech-savvy/sysop intersectional space. But for anyone with a child and privacy focused, this webapp made by Rikudou_Sage might be of interest?

Keep in mind, it doesn't come with any instructions on self-hosting. It seems to leverage the serverless framework, though.

If this post is a bad fit, feel free to remove!

The github repos and the link to the Play Store app (it's a wrapper) can be found under the original post spoiler section below.

A while ago I made an app for tracking baby activities because I became a parent and was horrified at how many permissions the existing apps required and how much tracking they contained. Both the app and the server are open source.

This is a web-app which also has an Android version in the Play Store (F-Droid didn't accept it because they don't feel like web-apps should be welcome in their store). On iPhones it can be installed as a PWA to the home screen.

Features:

  • No tracking whatsoever
  • End-to-end encrypted, no personal information is stored on the server unencrypted
  • Track baby's feeding, diaper changes, breast pumping and sleeping (more to come)

I remember hearing about it but the prospect of not being able to replay it turned me off. At least, that's what I gleaned over the years. I vaguely recall someone posting a picture of them framing the board when they were done with the game (campaign?)

Maybe I got the wrong impression? I suppose I should take another look-see.

I haven't played that much Pandemic, really, so the mechanics have yet to get old for us ๐Ÿ˜…

Hello!

I've went though a stint where I just didn't want to play boardgames. Largely because a lot of them are competitive and I don't like the vibe that usually brings out of me. Recently, my housemate and I grew our collection of co-op games. I have to say that the "Star Wars: The Clone Wars - A Pandemic System Game" is our favourite so far. We only played it a few times and...failed on all counts! It's a Pandemic game and we haven't played the system much so we haven't figured out the best way to work around it. I do look forward to figuring that out!

As for TTRPGs. Oh man...for group play, I would say the Genesys system (EDGE/FFG Star Wars RPG...yeah, there's a pattern ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). But I've shifted away from group play and into solo play. Ironsworn: Starforged, as a system, is my favourite. Not a huge fan of the setting but there are people working on addons and mods so it wouldn't be hard to adjust. I also plan on making an attempt at solo-playing SWRPG/Genesys. I've noticed a lack of solo-play podcasts for that specific system so that's something I plan on doing in the near future!

I also have a ridiculous amount of TTRPGs I've...collected over the years. The two I definitely want to play, solo or group, is Cities Without Numbers and Eclipse Phase 2e. I really like the cyberpunk + future tech settings and haven't had a chance to really play a game like that. Maybe a one-shot once upon a time.

I think that's all I have to share for now! I'm excited to see and chat about this stuff with y'all ๐Ÿ˜„

Intriguing! The timing works out for me too, I just finished a personal project so I have the bandwidth for this ๐Ÿ˜€

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahhh, lucky! I want to spray red crits too! I'm gonna have to look through my pile of riven mods now.

I actually saw the hype about DT's incarnon adapter on /r/Warframe, and that's also how I learned about the Frenzy proc. I had to rebuild Dual Toxocyst when I got the adapter. The wait just to get enough Mutagen Mass was excruciating!

Lately, Dual Toxocyst Incarnon is that satisfying weapon for me. It synergizes so well with its own built-in headshot proc (Frenzy). Seeing the Incarnon charge up fully after 3 headshots brings me joy. Seeing it light up a group of enemies because they dared to stand too close to my target makes me happy too. It's my happy gun ๐Ÿ™ƒ

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very nice! It's such a great feeling finding a weapon that you enjoy. I haven't spent a lot of time with Shedu to really appreciate it, so sadly, there isn't much more I can say. I do hope it serves you well in Steel Path, though!

The 5th tier on Riding Intrinsic will mark resources on the map while you're on the kaithe. And as neooffs said, the resources tends to spawn in specific places. For instance, you'll find a bunch of Yao Shrubs around snowy area like Titan's Rest. Connla Sprouts near sources of water. You can look them up on the Warframe wiki.

I also break every resources I spot when I'm on my way to something, so I'm slowly building up my stock over time. It's a bit tedious but I've spent an average of two hours when I play Duviri Experience. I get easily distracted by all the side quests, LOL.

The co-op modes are 3 vs 1 and 3 vs AI controlled boss. I only played the vs AI boss, and you all get separate boards until a specific event occurs. Then it merges and everyone gets to put their piece anywhere across the three boards. It only lasts for a little bit, and then the board splits again.

The PvP modes are called:

  • Zone battle (incorporates their time-stopping mechanic)
  • Score attack (standard Tetris, no interfering blocks for the player lagging behind)
  • Classic Score attack (standard Tetris, but you don't get hard drops or holds, and again, no interfering blocks)

One thing I found out is that if you want to play against the CPU, you can just load up a local match and add player's twice on the same controller. The second "adding" will fill the rest with CPUs.

It's available on both PC and Switch. However, from what I could find out, you need the Switch Online membership to play multiplayer online. But you haven't mentioned an interest in that so it should fit your requirements really well.

It's currently 50% off on both Steam and Nintendo eShop

Hope that helps!

According to their Github issue tracker, they're aware and are working to fix it (based on the pull request)!

The lemmy software is still a bit rough. It can only get better though, we all just need a little patience (or to contribute if we're able) ๐Ÿ˜Š

As far as I know, I don't believe there's an FAQ that explains these issues. I could be wrong though!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not adequate for the purposes I have in mind. But thanks for the suggestion ๐Ÿ™‚

There were legitimate reasons from a design standpoint. It's badly balanced, the spacing is inconsistent...and it was everywhere.

Funny enough, I suspect what makes it a badly designed font might be why some people with dyslexia have an easier time reading with it. The badly balanced, poor spacing, probably made the letters in the font more distinguishable from one another.

If you (or anyone else that's interested) have the time, I think this article, "Why You Hate Comic Sans," goes over all of it pretty well.

Thanks for this recommendation! I looked into it and it looks like they're going to move over to Debian since reversing changes to Ubuntu's decisions is taking up more time than its worth. I'm looking forward to that. Nothing against Ubuntu, but VanillaOS's approach feels like a better, more trustworthy direction.
