It's Critter Time!

Oh yeah, I have seen so many of these on YouTube. Definitely on my bucket list to make my own.

Here's some recent ones from my current server-play adventure. It's a cobblemon based server.

I love the idea of using a page as a reference for characters. Having the hex codes listed along with spaces for the bios and images is super hekkin cool. I gotta note that down for myself in the future!
The boop page is also nice and fun =P


Thanks! yeah I wanted a place I could point to my ...

Thank you all <3

I don't even remember at this point. It was early high-school I think and they were in the tech lab in a box.

I don't know what I was expecting tbh.

What were you running on it? Generally running light server tasks in a non-gui environment uses less resources then running a full fat desktop OS

Man I haven't been on SL in years. My pony models doesn't work great (it's one of the Equestrian pride ones, pre-openpony) and I don't have a version of my fursona on there. I do want to get back on there eventually but I have never found time

Man I grew up on that show. It's one of my all-time favorites, SG1 and SGA. Pretty sure Teal'c is the reason I say indeed. My whole family is a bunch of nerds.

I think by the time I was old enough to use the computer myself, my mother had switched us over to DSL, which would have been in the early 2000s. I do have a fascination for the technology in a anemoia sense. I have played around with setting up a computer to computer link with some old modems which ...

Here's mine. I'm hosting this on my own private VPS.

I built this before the plague of 2020, and I have been meaning to give it a face lift, but it serves it's purpose. The image slideshow things are horrendous and I hate them so I am looking forward to ripping them out

Also, welcome to the forum!

Woo locals!

Well, okay I'm Sugar here, but in other places I'm Dr. Dos and am usually just called Dos. OS name solidarity.

hehe heck yeah

One thing I did miss earlier (probably because I was focused on the keyboard focusable issue with it) is that the hamburger menu should probably also be a button element.


Great catch! Fixed that and the menu close button just now.


I explain that in the 'exceptions' part of the post. :3


I ...

Okay, I fixed 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7.

For 3, I couldn't reproduce what you described in FireFox or Chrome unless you meant `aria-hidden=false` was invalid. Either way I made it remove the attribute instead now.

I'll deal with 6 later since it will likely be me just ripping out Slick

I also read through ...

Thanks for that! I was curious. I'll fix the easy things but I plan to do a full re-write in the near future. This site is definitely not my best work and I really have grown to hate the "slick" library.

How are you running 128GB of Ram on the AM5 Platform, did MOBO manufacturers finally update their BIOSes to support 128GB of Ram or are you using custom RAM timings? It used to be ram stability was an issue when you slotted all 4 channels with 32gb for each slot unless you handicapped your clock ...

Yea, retroarch is kinda rough to set up. Usually when i use it, it is because some other application is using it under the hood, like parallel launcher and that does work okay since it's all preconfigured, but retroarch by itself needs some serious work.

speaking of Valve, I still am kinda kicking myself for not getting a Steam Deck a couple years ago when I was looking to get a small Linux computer. I remember at the time being like "Ok, sure, you can do desktop stuff on it too, but I'm not interested in PC games, I'm a console gamer".
And sure ...

Honestly I kinda find it hard to get excited for new sonic games. I love the classics though. I cannot tell you how many times I revisit SA2 on gamecube to play a round of metal harbor or final rush.

Haha nice! Gotta start somewhere.

my first foray into home servers was turning my previous gaming pc into what is currently a very overspecced NAS using a normal desktop installation of linux mint (as I'm most competent with GUIs)

I also use it for torrents, sending wake on LAN signals to my desktop, and I've previously run a ...

I would be more inclined to do this myself if a) I could be assed b) I wasn't irrationally afraid of my hosting bill tripling from traffic on here (I already host my own ref sheets)


Just use a VPS or some Webspace. I get a TB with my provider and I never get anywhere close to that. Some of the ...

You may want to consider an image/media proxy. Right now anyone can embed an image link from anywhere, and that remote server hosting the image sees what IP loads that image. It would improve user privacy to implement a proxy. It's not critical but something that should be considered.


I've ...

Thank you! Glad to be here

Honestly, Valve has been a great upstream contributor to the Linux kernel and the open source community. They have been throwing a unprecedented number of hours at open source projects they don't own to make gaming on Linux work and they deserve every bit of praise that get for it. We might be ...
