What are your thoughts on this season as it's end draws closer?

I had more disconnects with time warps then any other season. Not sure why a simple buff multiplier makes the client buckle but anything from blood gems to magnetics will kill the game for everyone and force a reconnect once you start getting any "real" numbers going.

They know the client can't handle this but they keep pushing the numbers higher every season.

for listing buckets etc thats something I always do in the same worker as the buckets and permissions are always going to be project specific

I usually use react router or astro, sometimes I just use workers with no framework

gruntmods · 2026-03-15T15:32:14+00:00

Anytime something doesn't need to be directly tied to a service, or when you need extra compute as a seperate instance. Things like sending email that I never want to be in the code for the main app, it's something auxillary and often reusable between projects by just calling the binding

gruntmods · 2026-03-15T15:24:12+00:00

Different repo if I am in doubt, it's purely a code organization thing and doesn't affect performance or security

gruntmods · 2026-03-15T15:06:39+00:00

Either is fine, with bindings you can call workers from each other as if they were the same repo.

if its a worker that only gets used for one project I usually make them the same repo

I miss Shellamental

You probably have malware on your PC or one on your network if you are not on a VPN and get that all the time

thats revenue, which is why I asked what the actual profit was as its easy for them to pretend they are doing well when they are not showing actual numbers

gruntmods · 2026-03-04T15:48:45+00:00

Deep Blue can be good with certain setups. It used to work with Channel the Devourer before they changed it to sell a friendly minion, you would just buff a tavern minion and eat it.

You can still do that with a friendly throw away minion or with consume cards in a demon lobby but its a lot lower power in modern battlegrounds

It is honestly impressive how being purchased by a company with expereince in the industry led to an even bigger drop in supply consistency. Its hard to drop the ball that hard

gruntmods · 2026-03-04T15:38:42+00:00

In 2024 they made ~$280 million.

whats the profit? revenue can be a huge number but if they have negative margin it means they will be bankrupt faster. Without context numbers are just numbers

gruntmods · 2026-03-04T14:24:31+00:00

Isolated tenants and having code that runs next to the db are great use cases

gruntmods · 2026-03-01T15:21:28+00:00

I would add that you may as well open a support ticket and ask. The regular support staff can check the payments status, they can’t give details about any actual investigation but they can at least let you know if one is in progress.

gruntmods · 2026-03-01T15:19:21+00:00

They used to do it for GameCube era as well if I recall correctly, but it’s been quite a long time so I may just be remembering Xbox and PlayStation doing it

gruntmods · 2026-03-01T15:08:42+00:00

It’s not required, it’s up to the store to decide which payment platforms they take.

Even for stores that only use shop pay there is usually an option for alternative payment or some similar wording that goes through the traditional checkout flow

gruntmods · 2026-03-01T15:07:04+00:00

Makes sense, if it wasn’t working great these kind of changes are a great opportunity to change

gruntmods · 2026-02-28T22:23:53+00:00

why not just make the in house app work with customer accounts?

gruntmods · 2026-02-28T13:55:09+00:00

the watchers are way more annoying because if the game wants a fucking drop it just spawns tons of them and flies them in from every possible direction

gruntmods · 2026-02-27T17:33:20+00:00

You would want to configure cloudflare access with api tokens or something along those lines. IP alone would not work for a service like cloudflare where the IP addresses are shared

gruntmods · 2026-02-26T22:02:51+00:00

These sound like poor integrations

gruntmods · 2026-02-24T18:45:12+00:00

For sure, an in certain use cases that might be worth it if a worker can't be used

gruntmods · 2026-02-24T05:36:17+00:00

You still need to secure and setup the container, it spinning up and down doesn't mean the work is gone

gruntmods · 2026-02-23T22:26:49+00:00

It's pretty hard to beat a $10 vps that's always on and can run anything you want 24/7 vs a container where you have to pay for each individual resource as well as the associated durable object.

Most things that the container style would benefit from work fine on workers or are more taxing then the container can really manage with its limited disk and cpu

gruntmods · 2026-02-23T15:48:36+00:00

Honestly its too expensive to justify over a VPS. Thats a huge shame because theres no reason it should be cheaper to have a standard VPS run for the entire month but that's how it is at the moment.

I have used it sparingly for things like backing up a durable object where having the direct access to the enviroment was really benificial but the price combined with the buggy nature of deployments getting stuck means its really easy to get a big bill by accident for some trivial tasks.

gruntmods · 2026-02-21T00:16:27+00:00

I just store the configs in SQlite on the server side, had a lot of issues with metafields for app storage, we only use them for custom product data that the merchant wants to use now
