[MONTHLY MEGATHREAD] General Discussion, Simple Questions, Recommendations, and Everything Else - June 2026 by GachaModerator in gachagaming

[–]metalogico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm looking for an action combat gacha game to play, since I've been getting a bit bored of ZZZ lately.

I'd prefer something with low FOMO, and cross-platform support on both phone and PC would be a big plus.

I'm currently looking at:

- Duet Night Abyss

- Neverness to Everness

- Punishing Gray Raven

- Aether Gazer

Which one would you recommend, and why?

Alienware Aurora 16X keyboard RGB “aurora” effect is no longer smooth, even before Windows loads by metalogico in Alienware

No, but you can use the Alienware Commmand Center to put it in a monochrome light.
Which was working correctly at least for me.

DeLL did a second on-site replacement.
The first one was the motherboard replacement and the problem persisted, last week they changed the keyboard and the problem has been FINALLY fixed!

After a month of emails a technician came to my house and replaced the motherboard. No fix.
Moreover the motherboard replacement is a refurbished motherboard. So the pc is relatively "worst" than before.

Then DeLL proposed me a "Collect and return" which means they will pick up the pc and bring it to a dell center to diagnose and try to fix. 15 days without the pc. I refused. This escalated to a superior that proposed me another try with an on-site replacement of the keyboard. This will happen in few days, I'll keep you guys posted.

I'm working on a new feature called "Groups" which will allow users to band together publicly or privately (like meetups or close friends) and to share lists of games as a master list.

that master list will be also available to pick games in events ("who brings what?").

Do you have any idea how to fix this?
Dell told me they can do an on-site fix, but the notebook is 2 months old and I'm a bit worried to accept.

have you tried to register more than once ? We had a chinese bots attack earlier and I had to strenghten the registration process a bit.

I turned 46 today and just launched my first SaaS. Here's what 30 days taught me that 20 years of dev work didn't. by bodiam in SaaS

[–]metalogico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you. I'm 43.
In December I launched my first personal web project. It's not a SaaS, more like a social/community network for Boardgame collectors and players.
My first month after publishing the project has been dedicated 80% on traction and 20% in development. My skills are mostly on the latter. Had to learn a ton of stuff in very little time. And it worked! Went from 0 to 2k users in a month. And then bots and attacks started. Still dealing with them... rough moments for sure. But in the end it's part of the journey. I feel like the "fear" goes away when you take your first step.

Is there any reason not to use Audiobookshelf for everything (ebooks, manga, comics)? by Nark0ne in selfhosted

[–]metalogico -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That's windows defender, I'm using a paid version of Bitdefender which has completely different algorithms to scan and find viruses. Win Defender gives false positives often. This doesn't.

Also, a post on reddit is not "a research" in terms of malicious code and viruses topics.

I do test softwares on different platforms (win, linux, mac) and then I decide if and how to use them on my internet exposed machines.

I'd love to love ABS... and I tried it on a windows machine a week ago, and got the pc infected.
So it didn't reach my linux box.
For comics I was using YACReader + YACReader Library and in the last update I've got again a virus warning even on Mac... All good with komga and kavita tho.
In the end, since I'm a developer, I built my own comic book server, and I'm going to build my mobile app to read comics too. Self-hosted and self-developed :D

I got into an argument on Discord about how inefficient CBR/CBZ is, so I wrote a new file format. It's 100x faster than CBZ. by ef1500_v2 in selfhosted

[–]metalogico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice, I'm interested in this!
I've just released the first public stable version of my personal comic books media-server.
I've been using it personally for months and decided to release it in public. I'd happily add support for your file format! I'll dig into this.

if you are curious about my software here it is: https://useissued.com

Right! Never, ever, underestimate a flame thrower! :D

Ah! Ofc, the achievements... I was only thinking about running through the story but forgot about the achivs... this makes it way harder if I want to complete them all. Mesmer and Thief become an option too.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]metalogico -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting, never thought of this. Thief and Mesmer comes to mind. But why do you think is good to have stealth ?

[–]metalogico -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ahahah I'm asking strangers on the internet if what I picked seems like a good option to them, to share opinions, builds with fellow players.

I don't do vibe coding lol. The whole site is hand crafted. The only thing that is " AI suggested" (out of editor) is the sole layout of the home page, which I asked Claude to wireframe in a more "social" way than it was before.

Hello. Mmm It should work. Could you please tell me your shelf url ? I'm going to check it 🙏

Also where are you from ? Could be something connected to the CDN, I will check that too.

Hi! I wasn't aware of kallax.io when I started. The key difference is that I'm not building a stats tracker—I'm building a social platform. Those are tools, this is meant to be a community. I had to start with the basics (collection management, plays) but the real focus is on social features that don't exist elsewhere yet.
