I was worried https was going to be a pain, but after breaking down and just doing it one day it was surprisingly easy to setup. I can only assume smaller sites haven't done it because it seems intimidating.
Now if somebody can tell me why some of the state government pages for Pennsylvania aren't using ssl that'd be great lol

I do have beef with tier 17 and how Uber access is gated now though. I'd love another players opinion. I've been avoiding the subreddit for a few leagues because it's.... a little bit toxic and unhelpful.

I'd like to be able schedule backups of directories but skip any that haven't had changes since the last backup to prevent redundant files. Unless git has a way to do it that I'm not aware of. I only have a surface level understanding of git.

So far it has categories to sort games, a list of directories in each game to backup, and a way to restore the backups and possibly point the backup files to new paths in case that's needed.
I know there are plenty of tools that make game save backups but they have too many bells and whistles for my taste. I wanted something simple that just makes/sorts save backups. I'm also debating a way to have scheduled backups but haven't decided on the best way to do that.

On a mobile device where performance really matters that makes sense. It's still weird that so many people seem to ignore ryujinx as an alternative though.

This is something I would personally be interested in. The design aspect of games is usually what I get caught up on. If I have a clear idea on what I'm making I rarely have an issue, it's just getting my idea worked into something actionable that I have issues with.
I can't promise I have anything to contribute if there are threads specifically for it, but I'm always up for learning about game design.

Though I really enjoyed this one. Enough that I'm reading the manga at least. A human turned sword acting as a father figure is really funny and surprisingly wholesome.

I know what you mean by that I context of a lot of anime CG but all I'm seeing in that linked clip is the animations being rendered at a lower framerate making it feel more choppy.
The animations themselves look great. What bothers me is why wouldnt they just maximize framerate if most of the show is already CG? Unless they're trying to cut down on render times for some reason. -

It may be a thing but I'd verify that's what's happening before going through the trouble. My TV will play most standard video formats from usb.

Lost Magic just has such a specific game loop that I can't seem to find anywhere else. The roguelike aspects of Noita might be right up my alley though so I'll check it out after the holidays.

I think git would do something close to what I'm wanting, but the program as it is now will compress all the files and let me give them unique names. Then restore backups from the compressed files and prompt for potentially different paths to account for changing systems or install locations. Git is the best option for detecting changes in the source files but i want to do other things with those files rather than just uploading them to a repo.
I ended up just checking the last modified date of all the files to be backed up and comparing it to the saved date from the last backup. I might still keep the archived files in a github repo but I wanted more control and automation than git gives me by itself.
