You playing anything seriously lately? — picked up eschatos which is great. still playing splatoon 3 but i think i've reached my skill ceiling at S+/X battle level cos I'm just getting my arse handed to me over and over which is not so much fun. also replaying mother 3 (i originally played it way back when the fan translation first came out & i've forgotten most of it by now) https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/112899683175597345

I got around to playing Eschatos & it's fucking good
Currently 471st in the world lol

@gifsbot there does seem to be a known issue with mastodon which can cause what i saw. but honestly it could equally be a bug in my code. who knows. not me because i'm not logging anything ​ https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21864

@gifsbot still not really sure what happened but i've switched it to 2x scaling the images instead of 4x in case it was choking on the size, hopefully that helps

(the 4x scaling was done to try and preserve quality on bluesky which has a particularly shitty way of handling images but wasn't necessary for mastodon nor twitter, so i've now made it only scale to 4x for bluesky specifically and reverted to 2x for the others)

hmm @gifsbot just posted a post with text but no image... i wondered if the image might've been too big so i reposted it manually and it worked fine (https://botsin.space/@gifsbot/112877129776659816)
also it's set up to abandon the entire post if the image upload fails... and yet it still posted the text... so does that mean the upload succeeded but it failed to attach to the post? can that happen?
i need to keep an eye on this bastard

the last one of my surviving twitter bots is up on here now:
@choro_qbooks

this one posts random quotes from the PS2 classic Road Trip Adventure

gifs galore bot is now active on the fediverse!! wow!!! @gifsbot

i'm still planning to also get my gifs galore bot on here at some point so this is a step in that direction with a simpler text-only bot

i've already got image posting working but i still don't currently have any mechanism for tagging the ones that have tits in them

my nes rom name generator bot is now available on the fediverse!! wow @nesrom_ebooks
