@purplehippo It was more style over substance, but the style was appealing enough.
These days all DoubleFine has IS style, they can't manage substance to save their lives. -

@purplehippo @moonman They're riding on LucasArts' coat tails for the most part. Psychonauts was their only own game that met any sort of critical appeal and even that was a flop with cult appeal at best - commercially, it was a failure so bad it bankrupted their publisher. -

Pros:
Much better interface flow
Dark theme which is high contrast
Much quicker/snappier at retrieving notices
Cons:
Not as "fancy" UI that's as done up
Only seems to have a manual refresh -

@purplehippo @moonman To say the least, yeah, but they keep getting money - so why would they change? -

Been trying Mustard as an android GNU social/postActiv client. I like the interface a lot more than AndStatus so far, much more reasonably organized. Guess we'll see if it has the weird duplication error AndStatus does. -

@purplehippo @moonman I guess they did at least pretend to finish the product by "releasing" it half finished tho -

@purplehippo @moonman What impetus is there to deliver a finished product when people have communicated to you that they will continue to fund an incomplete one on an indefinite basis? -

@takeshitakenji If you're only using MySQL locally, setting skip_name_resolve is a cheap and harmless performance gain. -

@takeshitakenji MySQL is probably the bottleneck, I think. 4 MS/s isn't much disk throughput for a mechanical let alone (I'd think) a SSD. What's your innodb_buffer_pool_size? It's usually the first candidate for optimization. Ideally you want it to be between 60-80% of available RAM depending on what else you're running on the system. You might want to c… -

@moonman @purplehippo Oh the artist probably took it and ran. I read up on them when I first heard about this for a possible news piece on HA and they seem to have a history of basically running at the first sign of trouble - but more importantly, insisting on contract agreements that let them do this. -

@moonman I'll probably work on it tomorrow once I have this review done and put to print (which I'm doing tonight). Things seem stable again so I'm working on that.
I probably just jinxed it with this post though. -

@moonman @purplehippo Me too. I just mean to say that the producer certainly isn't blameless either. -

@moonman Paypal is pretty shit, really, but they make so much money they don't have any impetus to improve and are so ubiquitous that we're kind of stuck with them. There's not many other comparable online $$$ to real money to online $$$ things out there like it, and literally zero of them operate in Canada right now. The closest out there that works for Canada is… -

@takeshitakenji This instance's db and public_html are on a 5.2k rpm mechanical drive so I find it hard to believe you're hitting an I/O barrier unless the shares on your VM are astonishingly low. -

@moonman @purplehippo Idiots on both sides, that one. The producer was idiotic to have that kind of a contract. The artist was at best incredibly selfish to run off like that.
