It is upsetting to find that there is a nontrivial amount of bonus stats given to characters based on their chosen race and gender. 30+ S-ATK at Lv100 isn't really a trivial amount given how stats function.

Got player stats calculating up to Lv100 last night. Will work on enemy stats, and a rudimentary implementation of damage calculation based on those, allowing a minimal simulation of combat. #PSO2

I'm REACHING for my Crossbow

This is particularly sad because PSO2 recently ripped out the entire playable story portion of Episodes 1-3 in favor of omnibus cutscene retellings. MatterBoard is just gone, even if it sucked.

We don't really have the resources to do this unless I open a patreon with the promise of making the archive and the server available. BitTorrent is the only way to make this anywhere close to cost effective in the long run.

I really want to do this for more than one game too. Losing access to old versions of game clients is really unfortunate.

Cost effectiveness requires creative measures*

* just throw bittorrent at it and pray your users participate

Working on an application that will archive large files into DigitalOcean Spaces. Even the 1 cent-per-GB transfer is a bit prohibitive for a tiny project (PSO2 client is currently 70ish GB, serving that 15 times blows through a terabyte). Has anyone used a DO Space to serve Web Seeds for torrents?

I did something AMAZING #PSO2

gmail started showing ads in-line in the web app. help. it's finally happening.

Turns out the answer is "whatever the fuck Boost does"
