    Thanks for the ping. I didn't comment because I probably won't be available for the July 12 debut, but am excited to check out the new server a little while afterwards.

    I agree Witch on the Holy Night starts out slower. I liked it a lot though! The writing focuses a lot on worldbuilding and the intricacies of magecraft and the preparation required for spellcasting. And quite a bit of slice of life too.

    If you stopped at the part I think, I understand what you mean in terms of lower stakes compared to other Type-Moon VNs. WotHN does take on a higher-intensity and higher-stakes direction later on, so IMO it's worth it to power through the middle parts. Although I did enjoy the worldbuilding as well.

    Overall though I do understand the criticism; it is, overall, noticeably less edgy and less often fills the reader with dread. So maybe didn't meet the exact expectations set by other Type-Moon VNs.

    The Tsukihime (first half) remake was released on Switch, in English, a couple days ago! I'm stoked to check it out at some point. Wish it were on PC, as I don't do much Switch gaming other than Ring Fit occasionally. Anyone here interested or picked it up already?

    For those who don't know, Tsukihime is a very popular classic visual novel among anime VN lovers. Same people who made Fate stay night. It's about vampires and magic in Japan. By today's standards the originals have a lot of very edgy—and maybe problematic—content, if viewed through the mainstream lens. Type-Moon's modern remakes and adaptations often tone down or remove a lot of the controversial stuff and give their works a wider mainstream appeal.

    Maintaining motivation and focus is far and away the hardest part of a long term solo project. I wish there were a silver bullet.

    One thing to remind yourself is that even though others will likely forget about your project after release, you will have gained a lot personally by completing it. You'll have something for your portfolio. Whenever you have future moments of self doubt, you'll be able to look back and say, "But hey, I did that!" You'll have a repository of assets and code and learnings you can look back on if you attempt a similar project in the future.

    It's not the worst thing in the world to drop a project that you don't have time for, but if you're like me then you end up with a pile of unfinished things that you feel regret and annoyance that they would have been so cool if only you'd put in a bit more effort.

  8. Comment on Do signed or annotated git tags have any special advantage over lightweight tags? in ~comp

    As mentioned already, the 2 benefits I'm aware of are adding a message, and being able to push the tags to a remote repo. I regularly use:

    $ git tag -a -m'Added user profiles feature' v0.9.0

    And to list them back:

    $ git tag -ln | sort -V

    The sort -V is so that v0.10 comes after v0.9.

    On GitHub specifically tags don't seem to matter much, since they have this GitHub-specific feature called Releases which kind of supersedes Git tags. Still IMO feels cleaner to keep using Git tags appropriately, even if also using GitHub Releases.

    Thanks for taking the time making the video and reporting the bug. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the bug on iOS 17.5. I'm hoping it is fixed by Apple in 17.5.
