Arc Raiders (and similar): 1. It should remain PvPVE 2. There shouldn't be a separate PVE mode 3. If there were, it would remove the magic of the game for players 4. If there were, it would divide the player base 5. If there were, it would change the dynamic of having both friendly vs hostile players, where the friendly players would just play PVE, and all the hostile players would be in the PVPVE mode Counterpoints: 1. PVPVE would remain 2. There should be a PVE-only mode 3. It wouldn't matter, because PVE players (or those who hate PVP or PVPVE) are not even playing PVPVE and don't care if they aren't getting the 'magic' 4. It wouldn't divide it because they're not in it to begin with 5. Considering the previous point, it wouldn't move anything, as there are no players to move Then the discussion/argument would end on: - "Well, it isn't a game for you then." With a response: - "You're right, so I won't buy the game because it doesn't have a mode that wouldn't affect you or the mode you like, and I'll mention this to the devs in the hopes that they'd add it since there are no negatives, only positives."

Wasn't planning on initiating what I'm calling the 'DEG Mods Network' yet, since there's still a bunch of things to do to accommodate that initiative; however, an opportunity came, where an individual who hated Nexus Mods and attempted to make their own mod site, and long story short: with their own domain, there's another 'DEG Mods' controlled by someone else independently. The process took 15 minutes, and it was up and running. I'll hit them up again to better onboard them and help them update it to the version of the site where it would better accommodate people within the DEG Mods Network (or DEGMN) and make things work more seamlessly, as well as to accommodate a 'creator-only' version/toggle where it'd show posts from a single mod creator. (Yes, this is *one* of the methods by which DEG Mods will dominate the modding scene; Every hub and every creator is 'DEG Mods') I wonder how many more will come to ask to be part of this network (not that they need to ask, of course), before it gets officially announced 🤔

Woke up to this =P Time to get a new monitor sadly

Uff... I like this / this hits hard x3: “Names need anchors. DNN just moved the anchor from politics to physics.”

I really need to clean (close) my browser tabs. Got like 100 to 500 across multiple browsers. I do this process every year or so, I think x3

What's interesting about DNN, considering the current situation with Core, is that I'll be able to tackle the 'repo' problem along with the 'auto update' problem as well, since there'd be a DNN node, and I don't want it to have those kinds of problems as well. I'll also have it be applied to Bitcoin nodes as well (since it's an anchor, so might as well). The solution/idea is there, I just need to spend time designing its flow/rules.

Is there a nostr sign-up system, one that guarantees the collection of submited npubs and not have them lost in relays? Like adding your email to a newsletter on some websites. I'm assuming there isn't, so I might have to figure out a way to do it (shouldn't be too hard, but it'd be a hassle for the end-user that sets up the form). #asknostr #nostr

I've been mulling over how to handle game builds and patches and verifications and so on for DEGA, from uploads to downloads, and how to handle file integrity checks, figured it out. An experienced person would've figured it out / known how to handle it instantly, but ya this hurdle for me has passed =3 Game publishing on DEGA will be a shitton easier than Steam's process, all decentralized & permissionless. Now that this blocker is out of the way, back to designing. Will share an update soon on the progress. When's 'soon'? dunno x3

I just realized. ecash/cashu basically what Ark is doing, but without needing the Ark protocol and their silly expiration thing. (haven't looked much into Ark, but... don't see a need for it so far?)

Realizing that there's always a chance of a bitcoin block reorg happening, I added to the DNN policy where every 144 blocks a scan-check of the past 10008 blocks happens (so every day a scan-check of the past 7 days happens), where if there is a reorg, it'll rewrite/reprocess DNN blocks from when the change began. This is to ensure DNN's state is always canonical to the Bitcoin chain. Now, if there's a reorg past 10008: 1. wtf? 2. A node update would be pushed, I'd imagine, to handle it.
