In the case of KSP, mod authors themselves submit Pull Requests to update the index when they release a new mod or a new version of it.

A new website will suffer the same fate eventually. The best solution I've seen is CKAN for kerbal space program mods. Each mod just hosts its own releases for free on github or wherever they like, and the whole mod index is just another github repo.

It's possible I misremembered and got the apk from their website or github. Doesn't change anything though.

I just went back though my emails, I got a reply email from their CTO promising to look into it and they would get back to me, but they never did.

Dark Souls has a good tutorial because it lets you skip it? That's your bar for a good tutorial?

Souls games are terrible at even explaining what the buttons do. Every blind lets play I've seen it is like 30 minutes before the player even discovers they have estus or what it is for.

If you just have to talk from many devices to the one server sure, but Tailscale sure makes it easy for many to many. Also if a direct connection is impossible (e.g. firewall of china, CGNAT etc) tailscale puts a relay server in the middle for you.

I can't. I tried it first and installed it on my phone from f-droid. After opening it up, it connected to an already existing network with other people's old machines from years ago on it. I was horrified.

So then I tried to delete my whole account and couldn't due to an error. I sent them an email about it and they took like two weeks to respond.

I was a bit cheesed too, but it's been umpteen billion years since then and you can grab l4d2 for about $2. It's time to let go.

I think the "insane people" they were referring to are the people who "think Americans politics are the best model"?

I am part of an event called "nethackathon" where multiple streamers hand over the same character/savegame to the next person in the schedule, like a relay race. What other games do you think would be good for a similar kind of event?

Nethack is ideal for a few different reasons:

  • it has a clearly defined objective (win the game)
  • permadeath means there are real stakes, we care if each character lives or dies
  • a winning run usually takes about 10-20 hours, short enough to be done in the weekend of the event, but also long enough that it can't be completed by a single person and requires multiple streamers in 2 hour "shifts"
  • transferable savegames (we play on a common server)
  • the game itself is interesting and deep

What other games do you think would work well in this format and why?
