the tough thing for ...
games with good atmosphere
by orchids in video games on apr 27, 2024
@fork's gundam/plamo thread got me feeling really nostalgic for mega man legends, a game that I remember renting from blockbuster multiple weekends in a row and playing up until the first boss. I think I was too young to get any further ...

the header organization has probably been my biggest enemy.
figuring out what gets prime real estate, plus what needs to get put in the dropdown on mobile screen sizes has been a total guessing game, so i'm all ears if anyone else feels strongly about ...

Battlefield

I have sooooooo many hours in Battlefield 3 though. That game was my whole life back in high school
Battlefield
by orchids in video games on apr 5, 2024
battlefield 1 is legit. I think it's the last one I played that had really good game feel, but my main gripe was that it was lacking color. Every map was a dull shade of brown.
Then BF5 came out and it looked fucking beautiful, but for some reason wasn ...

Add "writing" board to "creative" section
by orchids in community feedback on apr 2, 2024
i think that's a fair suggestion. I've had a few thoughts about sunsetting maybe the "list and logs" forum.
my general thought is that if we're adding another sub-forum, I'd like to remove ones that don't seem to get as much activity, since my goal isn ...

Strikethrough support?
by orchids in community feedback on mar 23, 2024
it's worth mentioning i also considered adding table support while i'm at it, but it looks like i'm gonna need to spend a few hours tweaking markdown tables to be styled juuuuust right, so for now, they're still unsupported
Strikethrough support?

quoting dean:
Is it possible to add the option to use a strikethrough to the site? (if its not already there though).
In markdown its like this:
Hello world

shell scripts

I decided this weekend that I wanted to take backups of the basement community database in a better way, so I found a tutorial online and tweaked it a bit to take a SQL dump of the database and upload it to another server via sftp

Strikethrough support?
by orchids in community feedback on mar 20, 2024
sure I don't see why not! looking at documentation for the markdown parser we're using, looks like adding support for this is relatively simple
