Rusty's RPGHQ Ruminations

I like @n3IVI0's animated avatar.
Honestly, I don't see the problem with any of them. So far.

If you think it's an annoying animation, just PM me or something. It's in the rules:

Avatars must be sensibly animated. No flashing lights. A gaming avatar is preferred.

No, I like this place and will continue to advocate for things that I think will make it better.

How banning animated avatars is making this place better?

Since it appears to be a season where the site is open to changing rules, I will again advocate for the banning of animated avatars.
What about an option that causes animated avatars to instead just display their first frame?
That would be a solution, but I would suggest that be the default. I think it is an off-putting element for the type of audience this site is intended for.

What type of audience do you think this site is intended for? The only people who find animated avatars offputting are transsexuals.

If you're not sporting a singular grayscale frame, are you even straight?

I'd like to add GOG widgets similar to Steam embed, but there's no good way to convert a standard GOG url to its widget.
https://docs.gog.com/gog-widget/

Next, you will need to add the DOM element in any place you want the widget to be visible:
Code: Select all
<html>    
    ...
    <body>
      ...
        <div class="gog-widget" data-game="{gameID}"></div>
   </body>
</html>

e.g., a steam URL is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374930/Black_Geyser_Couriers_of_Darkness/, so it can be parsed to grab its game ID for its embed code. But a standard GOG URL is: https://www.gog.com/en/game/black_geyser_couriers_of_darkness, you have to consult an external service to grab its ID I guess?

That's just silly…

Global ratelimit applied to stop excessive requests(read: automated scraping), it shouldn't be able to be triggered unless you're doing something you shouldn't be doing but let me know if you hit it.

Post by **rusty_shackleford** » January 2nd, 2025, 04:59

It appears trooncore browsers disable caching and trigger the rate limiting immediately.
Solution: Stop using browsers designed for trannies.

Seems like librewolf, but I can't reproduce it.

I don't think I've had any problems related to this. My question about ads was more to fuel confirmation bias that other developers don't know what they are doing. I assumed you would be able to make the changes without impacting page load.

If I am it must be caused by something I'm not actively doing. Perhaps one of these HQ extension scripts.

Didn't consider that.

@loregamer?

I'm not trying to bother you guys, I just want to put an end to the slowdowns caused by people running shit like dirbuster on us.

Yee my scripts definitely increase fetches. Will debug more later

Oh shit I just tested it, my userscripts have been inflating view counts since they do fetch requests LOL @rusty_shackleford

With all my userscripts on, each refresh = 5. With them off, is only 1 per refresh

Disabled it, I'll solve this other ways.

I’ll optimize my scripts this weekend to not do over fetching and try to cache more often @rusty_shackleford
