Note

This Aemond Targaryen gives me heavy Corum Jhaelen Irsei vibes. Just give him the Hand of Kwll and the Eye of Rhynn!

Well, I guess I got so excited that I replied to the wrong note. But I think you must have received my original webmention, right? In the wrong note? What happens if I fix it now after it has been sent? Time to find out!

Hey, it worked! Good job!

In my case, I’ve switched to JSON for the metadata in my notes. Along with the url, I have an author field to display it in the note:

{
    "reply_to" : {
        "url": "https://blog.libove.org/posts/1662922088-reply-to-leveling-up-my-indieweb-game/",
        "author": "Niko"
    }
}

I’ve also noted that I received the publish time from your webmention in UTC, but my blog fails to make the conversion to my local timezone. So I guess all webmentions in this site are displayed in whatever timezone they originated, which may make it a bit confusing if, for instance, a reply has a timestamp earlier than the post it’s replying to. I’ll have to make sure all times are displayed in the same time zone going forward! Something else to add to the to-do list!

Thanks for helping me test all of this, Niko!

Edit: changed the reply_to in the metadata to point to the correct note in your blog. Let’s see what happens when I change the markup after the webmention has been sent!

After I heard the news about Stadia, I decided to give the Steam Deck a try. I ordered one on Monday, and I received it on Thursday. That was faster than I expected!

I haven’t had much chance to play a ton yet, but my first impressions are:

• The deck is way bigger than I thought. I was expecting something like a Nintendo Switch. I’m sure it’s way bigger than that. It feels nice in the hands, though.
• It gets super hot! Not where you hold it, but it does have some vents that can put out serious heat. I have to be mindful of not covering those when I’m playing.
• I tried a few games. I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but I am engaged with The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. It’s not quite the fantasy XCOM that I’m still looking for, but it satisfies that tactical RPG itch for now.

I spent some time this morning sprucing up the RSS feed in this blog. I included featured images in the enclosure tag, but I’m not sure how well supported that is. We’ll see how Inoreader picks it up later today.

The latest free eBook from Tor.com is available for download. This one looks interesting, I may actually read it instead of just digitally hoarding it like I usually do.

Check it out! And if you read it, let me know what you thought!
