hello! #introductions

name's knittenkitten and I thought I'd move somewhere more oriented towards somebody with a creative interest in game dev

in general I like JRPGs, but some of my favorites are Nier: Automata, Danganronpa, Final Fantasy Tactics, and the Kingdom Hearts series. also liked When They Cry, and would join a game of Splatoon 2 (I'm a rusty roller)

I'm working on a tactical RPG but it's very much in the conceptual stages

looking forward to posting here 😀

tracert has five jumps prior to the first public IP address

just got a horrifying peek into how my ISP's FTTP network works by trying to figure out what the fuck that router box is doing and uh I am just gonna VPS this or something

(no, bridge mode will not work, and it's for a very silly reason)

forward ports they all say

use a DMZ they all say

run your router in bridge mode they all say

at least I can make my Switch use a VPN now though

to be exact, the problem is carrier-grade NAT and me sharing an IPv4 address with other folks, which means worst-case I'll need to use this new router's VPN functionality

my ISP does provide me IPv6 addresses via DHCPv6-PD, which should allow me to engineer a better workaround, but I can't seem to get on the Internet via IPv6 and might need to put in a ticket with them

oof

a good time to be thankful the big chain around here hires full-timers to do grocery deliveries, gives them a company van, and pays them pretty well for it

(only downside is apparently they aren't supposed to take tips)

now if you need a pick-me-up I've written about 15k or so of Soriku fanfic

I hate Kingdom Hearts so much

having way too much fun setting up this router
