@OutofPrintArchive I played too much Pen Pen Triicelon back in the day. I got a Dreamcast close to launch but for whatever reason (probably sold out) did not get Sonic Adventure until a few weeks later. Thus, Pen Pen was initially my only DC game. Pretty fun and the graphics looked amazing compared to N64.

@libreture Suggestion: Add Open Library. Open source and has very similar personal reading tracking (including challenges) to Goodreads.

@OutofPrintArchive Very nostalgic. I agree with the magazine take on the camera of death. Interesting to see they praised the Knuckles levels over Sonic's... I think the high-speed Sonic levels were much more fun than the Knuckles treasure hunts.

@gabriel @wjmaggos I'm able to follow my Minds account and follow this account from Minds, but no posts have appeared after 2 months or so, so I'm not quite sure how it's supposed to work. Could be missing something though -- I didn't study it beyond following myself.

@OutofPrintArchive I agree with his praise of Engage generally. The combat and maps are better than Three Houses and it is technically (visuals, performance) superior. But having played Three Houses multiple times and being almost done with my first Engage run -- I agree that I would like to see a return to the Three Houses "formula." The better writing, story, and characters in Three Houses ultimately outweighs the better game-play and performance of Engage in my personal estimation.

@OutofPrintArchive I'd welcome a sequel in the vein of Three Houses. Engage definitely focused on callbacks, but not in a way that made me -- with no FE experience before Awakening -- feel lost. Battles are nice and the old characters function like more interesting battalions from TH. Maddening is also better balanced in Engage than TH, which I would like to see carried over to a new one. I may fall in the "most people" on Warriors... doesn't look appealing to me, but maybe I should try.

@Mojeek I wrote a general PSA on whitelisting Mojeek, Seznam, and other independent search crawlers. It is always satisfying to see a Mojeek referral in my analytics logs and I am aware of a couple of cases where people found one of my articles with Marginalia Search.

I used this to reduce vertical spacing in menus to 2px, I recommend it at least as a starting point. I used a different guide to get rid of the top bar so Tree Style Tabs handles all of my tabs -- another good fix if you like vertical tabs.

@matt I wrote about my site's de-indexing and other de-indexing stories, links below if you're interested.

My site's story: https://thenewleafjournal.com/the-story-of-our-bing-blacklisting/

I finally got an email from a real person at Bing in June after 6 months of trying. Supposedly they're "reviewing" it but I have had no updates since the start of the "review" on June 20 or 21. No idea what the issue is at this point. I'm in good standing with Google, Yandex, Mojeek, and Brave -- so it's only Bing.

@matt Re; "I’d imagine that when Mr #DDG says things getting censored are “bugs” I’m going to presume that #Bing is meant to serve DDG uncensored results via the API, where the censoring would happen exclusively on Bing.com"

I think that's true with respect to the CCP-related censorship incidents, but I don't think it applies to situations like TechCrunch or smaller sites which get de-indexed. I do grant, however, that DDG is obviously limited in what it can do and say with respect to Bing.

@Linux_in_a_Bit Not before, no. I tested the XFCE and Xscreensaver packages (running EndeavourOS) and went with the Xscreensaver one. Works without any issue regardless of the power settings.

@Linux_in_a_Bit Thanks for the hint. I got it working my switching to the XFCE screensaver package and resetting my power saver configuration. Now it properly goes to screensaver and suspend works.
