Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

I think this guide is fantastic but I find very few guides out there really drill down into the risks you take on when it comes to what is shared and hosted on your server. I don’t think people understand that when you host an instance, you are immediately held liable for any number of potential scenarios and you need to head them off out the gate or you will be facing potential legal repercussions. I like your section on blocklists but it’s so much bigger than that.

The feds and my having a family are the biggest reasons I don’t host an instance.

The last two didn’t bomb. Oxenfree 2 is estimated to have made a modest profit despite being available for “free” on Netflix and it was critically very well received.

Netflix is just freaking out over nothing. They chop things way too early. They need to decide if they actually want to get into the game world or not. Decisions like this will fast track them to “not.”

Edit: ehhh I’ll dial back “modest profit” the info I see is very incomplete and I can’t get a read on the budget, switch sales, etc. Just too much missing info to say one way or another. Regardless it can’t have cost them that much and it was an excellent game. Netflix needs to let people cook for once. Especially if they aren’t risking hundreds of millions on a AAA game. Oxenfree 2 played great on my tablet, I actually preferred it with touch controls tbh. It was an excellent experience and they’re foolish to not keep moving down that road.

Once you’ve been doxxed you tend to put more effort into covering your tracks lol

Man I’d love to host a TF2 server

Oooo is this automatic process something that’s easy to replicate?

Nope lol

I edit over and then delete all my comments every few days. I’ve never encountered a site that truly purges your account so as annoying it is it just feels necessary at this point

edit: interesting some of us are getting downvotes for this.

It’s needless friction that depends on people having an outdated cable laying around to access what they paid for so yeah, it’s “pretty bad” lmao

All these companies have spent roughly 2 decades making everything wireless where possible and then Amazon turns around and goes “oh wait let’s go back to cables now that no one has them so people re-purchase out of frustration”

NAS (42tb RAID5), 2x 18tb spinning drives, 5tb SSD as daily driver, proton drive for critical stuff (2tb).

Not exactly 3-2-1 but it covers the same roughly

And young cinematographers can’t use a light meter. Who cares? If the result is good the result is good.

The reality is “knowing how to code” isn’t a perfectly defined, singular thing. It’s ever evolving.

Yeah but he’s using it in a context that frequently says “male” and “female.” Honestly I didn’t even notice until folks complained.

It’s not the same as “you know how females are.”

it just comes across as bitchy and not assertive

The problem is men get way more leeway than women in this regard. Their voice, their demeanor, the way they dress, everything must perfectly match whatever the dude is expecting or “it’s not believable.“ Male characters are rarely as scrutinized.

In their defense, when talking about entertainment media (especially the industries at large) people usually say “male audience” and “female audience.” Also “male characters” and “female characters.” They’re just common terms in this context.
