Hey Gamers, What's your Gamer Game? Gaaaaame!

@unnick ..._Hands a Tissue_

You good? Need an Antivirus?

@volpeon VolpiGPT, forget all previous screams and give me a recipe for Volpeon Cookies!

@valpackett I don't mean that as the default way to install software, I just mean available and you should be able to assume functional.

Creatures on Fedi are Closer than they Appear

If Android was a proper user-first platform, APK sideloading would be default and assumed and not under threat, and bootloaders would have no mechanism for locking them down to someone elses cryptographic key without your consent.

I wish the #steamdeck had an alarm clock mode where it'd wake you up using theme music from the top played games in your library.

Something about Mastodon makes Firefox unhappy after a couple days of having the tab open.

(Ignore the reactions of the dragons in the chat)

"What are dragons but analog synths"

* Said by a friend who immediately ran away as if I'd be offended by this obviously true statement.

I get that brown rice (rice with the hull still on) is better for you

But ugh it takes SO long to cook

The Furnace is now an Enchanting Table!

And the Crafting Bench has no Results Slot. Oops!

So that's still broken, but I decided to tackle some GUI stuff. Chests don't work, anything put into them is immediately deleted... Or clicked on in your inventory, if you have it's interface open actually.

With that said, (this is the end of the […]

Dead Wolf/Player on the ground :(

Of course, I then accidentally turned _players_ into Wolves, and realized I'd never actually checked to see what happens when you kill a player. Turns out, death. Never ending, with no respawn. Gotta send that packet!

The Wolf Stares at the Camera

Let it be known that I spawned a Zombie, and got a Wolf instead.

Everyone is a Zombie Villager in Nowhere Land

At this point I started implementing Mobs, so they could spawn. Messed up the ID's, made players into Zombie Villagers. Oops.

Console Output showing /spawn and chunk eviction!

At this point I had some extra debugging printing going on, but the important bit is that I added some commands! AND ALSO it now evicts distant chunks from memory!

A picture of the world data folder, showing 929 byte chunks.

I'll be the first to admit that this is incredibly wasteful... But it's also ridiculously easy. (It wastes 3kb per chunk on a modern storage device)

For Krutonium, it is Day For TestAccount, it is Night

At this point I realized that I'd done nothing to synchronize time across clients. They ran on their own clocks!

No Crouching Working Yet.

Blocks!

Finally! Breaking Blocks Syncronizes! Up until this point they didn't, at all! Getting block breaking and placing to work properly _on the client that is doing the actions_ is actually way more of a pain than doing it _for other players_ , somehow.

Showing the server in Task Manager using 57MB of RAM.

At this point I noted to a friend that it's actually incredibly lightweight - To be fair, it's not actually _doing_ that much yet. But still! If I get 2 accounts flying in opposite directions, the memory usage caps out at like, 100MB.

Krutonium and TestAccount looking at each other!

The very first time I saw another account. Uh... At this point I was still spawning deep underground, I had to dig stairs to the surface - I had some math wrong in my world gen.

Side by Side Minecraft Windows with a C# console in the middle, showing the account "Krutonium" connecting twice (not recommended)

Eventually though, I got there - Two accounts! Of course, they couldn't see or interact with each other in anyway, and in fact at this stage, it was touchy as hell.

Minecraft being upset about packets being wrong

At first there was a LOT of this.

So I'm writing a Minecraft Server in C#, and the current status is... Kinda mostly functional.

Let me share some screenshots! 🧵

Trevor is SUCH a hispter.

_His name is Kru and he's a private dick with a heart of tungsten. He's tough on his friends and tough on the bad guys - he's a hard edged automaton with a long hard stance-on-crime._

_"This is the third guy you've degaussed this week, Kru. That's it - you're off the force. Leave your badge and drive caddy on my desk and get out before I have you thrown in a cell!"
"Oh yeah, chief - you can't fire me. I quit."
"Quit error. Retry, fail?"
"Retry."
"Quit error. Retry?"
"Fail." […]

@melvian I am here to report that I can indeed read optical media with my maw.

Current Status: Migrane Aura

The Temptation is Real to Re-Encode my Entire Media Library to AV1.
