Since the start of pandemic, a few of my oldest, closest friends and I have played multiplayer games once or twice a week. I've more or less kept up with gaming since college, but these guys didn't do more than the odd few rounds of Mario Kart during Thanksgiving. That was until we all had to sit indoors for a year.

I mainly got them into the Souls series. We branched out to stuff like Monster Hunter, and I even got them to play my favorite, Mordhau, which doesn't play great for them on console.

One of these friends has cerebral palsy. He walks with canes or rides a scooter to get around. He can hold and use a controller well enough, but, as he puts it, when the pressure builds in game his spastic reflex gets the better of him and he can't do much more than panic dodge roll.

The Souls series can be very forgiving at times when he can be a magic user and nuke things from a distance. Bloodborne, on the other hand, was rough and we had to use PS5's remote share a few times to get him through some spots before it all became too much.

Then we bought HD2 during the sale. I was a big fan of 1, and was honestly unsure of the new perspective (boy was I wrong, but that's another topic). Despite his physical disability, my friend has become a god on the battlefield. With turret, HMG emplacements, and mines, he consistently gets the most kills during a dive, usually twice over.

I don't know if there is more to say. I feel like a lesser game would have nerfed those "crutches" into oblivion. But most use them as a way to pad out survivability while you try to have fun with the rest of the weapons.

At less than $12 a record, it's a steal!

Much of the time if I hit the quickplay option, it dumps me into a ship, pretty much at the same exact time as 2 or 3 other players. I don't have great sampling here, but it seems like the players are lvl 70+ who know how to do this. Is there some SOS Beacon or equivalent that I'm missing?

Hey, nifty piece of kit you made here, and thank you for it. Only problem is that I don't actually see it being posted.

I installed it all via docker compose and it seem to work fine. I'm able to open the app, log into lemm.ee with my credentials, then schedule a post. It then simply clears from the queue at the right time without the post happening.

The redis docker logs aren't showing anything. Here is what I have from the lemmy-schedule docker logs: 192.168.1.50 - - [17/Sep/2023:15:43:50 +0000] "GET /post/create HTTP/1.1" 200 22270 "http://192.168.1.20:8000/post/list" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0" 192.168.1.50 - - [17/Sep/2023:15:43:50 +0000] "POST /en/_components/ScheduleComponent/setTimezoneAsString HTTP/1.1" 200 1934 "http://192.168.1.20:8000/post/create" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0" 192.168.1.50 - - [17/Sep/2023:15:44:24 +0000] "POST /post/create/do HTTP/1.1" 302 652 "http://192.168.1.20:8000/post/create" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0" 192.168.1.50 - - [17/Sep/2023:15:44:25 +0000] "GET /post/list HTTP/1.1" 200 2583 "http://192.168.1.20:8000/post/create" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0"

In the above I set something to post at 15:56. It clears from the queue and nothing further is put into the logs.

Any troubleshooting I should try?

Here's the thing. I'm a mod for a small-time community for a niche interest, [email protected] I'm also on Mastodon, and was before my Reddit exodus. I follow #castles as well as a few other related topics on Matsodon, so I get quality toots, such as this: https://mastodon.scot/@McNige/110926238926867959, that I wish I could just crosspost over to my community. Currently, I have to repackage the toot, which isn't a huge problem, but currently I just drop them a note on Mastodon that their content has been posted elsewhere on the Fediverse. What would be nice is if people who comment on the Lemmy post also get fed into OP's toot. More sharing, more connection, more activity.

On the flip side, I've subscribed to @[email protected] on my Mastodon instance and, while it's good to be able to follow posts in feed form, it looks like ass: I realize I should try this with Pixelfed, but I haven't made that leap yet.

I don't know, am I thinking crazy here? I'd think we'd want everything in the Fediverse soup interoperable in a more seemless way. Is this a feature request or am I missing some way to do this better?
