mangarock decided to go legal and is now dead for all pirate purposes
so I just closed the mangarock tab, googled the same manga title and opened another site which works, simple as that
 
So they finally went through with it? Originally they wanted to stop at the beginning of december, but that didn't happen.
 
but also I learned that there is some android app which aggregates all such sites and provides convenient catalogue browsing, idk about that yet but I'll check it out later
I've been burned one too many times with my ratings, tags and ocmments getting lost or not having good enough features
this year might be the year when I finally code up an app that satisfies all my wants
@Dimitrimx I think their roadmap detailed something about december as the last month they're gonna be open for updates, and then ultimately closing on january
 
@Hakase I'd suggest tachiyomi, which is probably the aggegrator you talking about
 
yes that's the one
but I want to also have all my movie and anime ratings there too
and games and what else
 
That's the one i switched over too.
It has a nice convenient function, that imports your mangarock history as well
 
12:52 PM
thing is I don't have any accounts anywhere anymore so my history isn't stored anywhere
I only have my browser bookmarks and downloaded manga folders on the hard drives
I'm now having a problem where even the best pirate solutions (which are better than legal ones) are not good enough for everything I want to have, and it's 2020 and nobody is making anything that is good enough, so I might as make it for myself on my own
 
hehe, that's usually how inovative projects are born.
 
well, I've been already making a game that I want to play but nobody is making for me for about 9 years already
al rea dy
alas, it is not yet ready :D

Q: was Roy Fokker just the leader of the skull squadron or was he the leader of the entire valkyrie VF squadron?

PabloI was watching the Macross Saga and sometimes it seems implied in the dialogue Roy Fokker was the leader of the entire valkyrie squadron when other times it seems implied he was the leader of the skull squadron only and the other squadrons (blue, red, green, etc.) were acting independently. Also,...

 
and i'm having trouble keeping up with my favorite pixel artists for inspiration which I'm hoping a browser/aggregator of my favorite artists' works can help me with
I've created problems for myself the likes of which I never wanted to get into
just got a Necromancer badge which is for posting a +5 answer on a question 60 days after it was asked, for an answer I posted in 2014 to a question asked in 2010
 
1:39 PM
you know I just kinda feel like it's not a good idea anymore to let your data sit on some remote server with you being able to export only some limited version of it, and also the functionality is always not good enough and there is no convenient way to extend it
also everything is so slow for some reason
I tried to use the explore queue on steam to browse games during the sale and it was sooo sluggish
it'd be a wonderful idea to download a several gig package of all the thumbnails and descriptions and browse just that, locally, and then send/receive the data to the site if you want to leave reviews or comments or post your ratings publicly
but that doesn't bring companies any money coz you don't watch their ads
all of these db sites would be crying "but think about the corporate profits"
sites are one thing but steam client itself is not a browser, it's locked to just one store
why not cache all the store page content locally so it loads instantly
there aren't even any third-party ads on the entire site
 
@Hakase you mean the new one they had "achievements" for during the winter sale?
 
no, the usual Explore or Discovery queue, whatever it's called, I've been using it since it first rolled out
I think there were coins but idk
I only bought a shitton of VR games and haven't touched most of them yet coz I can't find a good time but I suppose I saved a bunch of money :p
 
@Hakase they do give away cards but only during events
@Hakase on Steam? well they get money from other places
 
idk what cards do, I only found that you could get a one-time 5 usd discount thing for 5000 coins which I did and the rest were chat stickers and profile backgrounds neither of which I ever use
 
@Hakase you use them to craft badges and that's about it. but for some series i like to have the complete set like with Sono Hanabira which i have made 3 badges and have a complete set
 
1:52 PM
basically steam is already a CDN and provides gigabytes of traffic to a single user monthly, so why not just let you download the cache of the entire store and browse it locally at instant load speeds
 
@Hakase i found out that discount was one time only when i was getting DLC, not complaining because i ended up getting the rest of the Megadimension Neptunia VIIR DLC for a couple of cents
 
@Memor-X I have no idea what badges are
idk if it's up your alley but have you seen Dragon Quest Builders 2?
 
@Hakase things you can show off on your profile and they give you exp as well that unlocks stuff for your profile
@Hakase yes. i think i have the first one on PS4 but havn't gotten around to it and i do want to get the second one
 
oh yea I have a private profile which I never use or look at
if there is a way to disable all social things on steam I'd like to do that
 
@Hakase social things like what?
 
1:55 PM
doesn't seem to be a way to auto-block friend requests
like the entire chat widget, the profile page, badges or cards
it's just annoying notifications which do nothing
I have my contacts on other apps, I don't want steam to be my messenger
only scammers add you these days
 
naaa, most of that you can't disable but if you use the browser you wont get the chat popup which is decent enough for buying games
@Hakase i've never gotten unknown friend requests, only ever from people i know
 
when I played fortnite for a short while, I noticed epic launcher has a checkbox to auto-decline friend requests >.>
I'm guessing if I make my own catalogue app, I might as well add games to it and a steam:// protocol url launcher button so I don't have to use steam client
I still don't know if I should use databases for small personal projects like there or serialized classes and lists are fine
so far it's been working for me without problems
 
2:31 PM
there's a frikin task manager-like page in firefox which shows how much cpu each tab is eatin about:performance
oh its' not cpu it's some kinda energy consumption value
and it doesn't reflect the reality anyway
says I have only a couple tabs eating 10 megs but procexp clearly shows several gigs worth of used memory by all firefox processes
so that was a lame discovery :\
 
2:45 PM
@Hakase I literally have a boilerplate class that just serializes itself to and from json as datastorage for personal projects ;')
