I was wondering the same thing, I wanted to add JSON Feed support to an app I’m writing but couldn’t find any examples of it in the wild, and Google was no help. Good to know that NPR has one, though.

I WANT IT THAT WAY

My extended family is from a tiny Ohio hill town named Antioch, pronounced “annie-OCK”.

I’d be up for it. Haven’t worked on games for a while, but I’d like to get back to it.

I’m surprised hardly anyone else has mentioned Wesnoth yet. I last played it over a decade ago, so I’m not sure if it’s still as well-known now as it used to be, but it’s one of the highest-quality open-source games out there.

It’s a turn-based fantasy strategy game that feels like a combination of Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, and D&D. And I suppose it was a lot more unique back in the 2000’s when there weren’t a dozen indie games out there that fit the same description.

Same. My wife isn’t much of a gamer but NSMB Wii and NSMBU are some of the only games we’ll play together and really enjoy. I think I’d actually pay for subscription DLC for a NSMB-style game if it gave you a few new levels to play through every month or two.

I hoped Mario Maker 2’s user-generated content would feel like that, but the levels were so small and puzzle-focused that it really didn’t work.

They actually did it, the absolute madmen. As a kid I rented this over and over from Blockbuster but never finished it. Maybe now I finally will.

I’ve had a private Matrix server for me and a few family members for years now. It doesn’t federate, and I’m afraid to try, because I run it on a potato computer and I’ve heard horror stories of Synapse federation consuming hundreds of gigabytes of space.

It’s generally been stable and performant and really nice to use. The only problem is encryption: Element seems to forget keys sometimes and need to resync. And Matrix’s whole e2ee system is arcane nonsense to anyone who’s not extremely technical. Every time that happens, it’s a long tech support call.

The solution is to just not use encryption on chatrooms, which is fine, but DMs have to be encrypted so it still comes up sometimes.
