You dodge some wolves and see a few more clues and story bits, and then you find a frozen Wendigo that you're forced to free in a "Push Button to Continue Cutscene" moment. Then you run away from it for a brief and very linear chase segment, and then you get on a boat and run away and then the game is over.
I was expecting a tense survival horror game with slim resources, deadly elements, wolf packs etc. What I got was an admittedly kind of cozy and interesting walking simulator/investigation game followed by a lame escape game. 4/10.
@Takuya@Ota1504@Yakotarun Discoverability and promotion are areas that are difficult to do anything about, unfortunately...
Mitra is Fediverse microblogging software with integrated crypto subscriptions. Aside from one-off payments, subscribers can pay on a monthly schedule and get access to Subscriber Only posts... kind of in the same way some people have Patreon Exclusives or the like. Since Sub Only posts can also have attached media, it would work well for art exclusives.
I'm running a test instance to show off in OnionKet 4. Right now it's lacking some of the more advanced features, but the dev, @silverpill , is planning to integrate a "View Only" mode to allow subscribers to create an account that lets them create an account, sub, and view private posts right away (though that functionality also works with Fedi accounts on other servers):
That'd make a smoother experience for getting new subscribers on board, assuming of course they have crypto they're willing to spend.
Nothing in Onionket or Mitra will be able to do much about the discoverability and promotion issue, unfortunately. Those are areas where highly centralized services have the advantage, thanks to the network effect.
All we can really offer is tools and a space to share one's work freely and without censorship, even when others want to prevent it. Solving the discoverability problem will have to be the work of someone else, hopefully building on this foundation.
In which we examine the curious case of Colabo, PAPS, and other feminist NPOs in Japan doing far too little with far too much public money, before studying the questionable behaviour of Pixiv and their recent rules changes and "clarifications".
Mastodon is right out, of course. Moving to a fresh Pleroma install is just kicking the can down the road. There's Akkoma, but it reeks of trannies, and there's Rebased, but it reeks of Gleason.
Misskey is a little too out-there for me, and GNUSocial... well, I'm not sure I have what it takes to handle that.
At this point, I'm thinking I might as well just set myself up on a Mitra instance. Yes it's technically still in heavy development, and it doesn't have most of the bells and whistles of Pleroma, but I'm not sure I really need them. Emoji Reacts are nice and all, but all I really need is Posts, Images, Likes, and Reposts. Everything else is just cruft in the end.
Tomorrow, it's a very festive Christmas Streaming Special. Let's enjoy some festive holiday music while avoiding the wolves and trying not to freeze to death in the godforsaken hellscape that is northern Quebec with "KONA".
