I'm still salty about Introversion selling Prison Architect to Paradox. It went from a stable, well-designed colony sim with everything included out-of-the-box to a buggy piece of crap with a dozen equally buggy DLC packs, half of which didn't even fit the game's theme.

    It's because the showrunners of The Pitt worked on E.R and were in talks with Crichton's widow to make a sequel, but the network didn't want to pay the royalties she was asking for. So they pivoted to making an original medical drama that was very similar to E.R, hence her suing them.

    It looks like it might be possible to target wasm (at least GPUI can), so hopefully Discord won't kill their web client.

    If I have to use it, I'd much rather run their software in a sandboxed environment like a web browser than install a program that can then do whatever it wants with my user data.

    Steam adds support for branch-specific Workshop mod versions

    This should save mod authors and users a huge headache due to not needing to worry about updates breaking everything*.

    • Provided the developer has enabled and set up the relevant feature set.

    A single subscribed mod can now provide multiple builds targeting different game versions. This is tied to the existing branch system originally used for betas. Subscribers will be automatically given the mod build that matches their installed game version.

    This means that when a player downgrades their game to an old version, they'll automatically be switched to the last version of all subscribed mods that supported that version of the game.

    This should save developers, mod authors, and players a huge headache due to not needing to worry about updates breaking everything (provided the developer has enabled and set up the relevant feature sets, which TBH looks a little fiddly).

     

    ... because I comment more times in a single day than I normally do over weeks.

    (Hoarding meds because I need to make an appointment for a refill, but I can't make myself do that when unmedicated and always get distracted the rare days I am. Hey, if it were rational it'd be considered a personality quirk, not a mental illness.)

     

    The app keeps track of your upvotes and downvotes for each user, but you can only see the combined total normally (with differing shades based on the ratio, which is a nice touch). You can only see the actual numbers for each under a user's tag details.

    Could there be an option to display both numbers separately? So instead of [+15] it would show [+18/-3], for example.

     

    I'm not sure if this is a Voyager issue or a Lemmy API one, but when viewing the profile of someone who comments but hasn't made a post in a while, old posts will be sprinkled randomly through their comments list.

    Selecting Posts or Comments returns everything in the correct order; it's only the overview that's wrong.


    On a related note, when viewing my own profile it suddenly skips a few weeks of comments after the first page:

    (My apology for the politics, but that's where the split was)

    This too only happens on the overview page and not when viewing comments alone.

     

    When I flip Voyager to landscape, there's sometimes an extra row of padding below the bottom bar:

    It usually fixes itself if I flip to portrait and back a few times:

    But after rotating back to portrait, there is now negative padding and the buttons are below my phone's softkeys and unusable:

    This happens anywhere in the app.
