@jsstaedtler Proverbs is a Minesweeper-esque puzzle game where you uncover one massive image: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3083300/Proverbs/

@NiwlCraft Aw. I deal with Japanese books a lot, there's a lot of B-size ones (although Japan has its own slightly tweaked variant). (Japanese) B5 is the size most manga is meant to be read at (and is usually drawn at either B5 or B4) :DYou've probably encountered C without seeing it named: "A4" envelopes are usually C4 in size.

@NiwlCraft Spam and similar abuse is also why I and probably a lot of other would-be devs just don't *make* many projects they want to make, or make them locked-down and private rather than useable by the public. The labour and monetary costs of dealing with spam, etc are just too high, so we can't have nice things.

@JenJen If you're putting together bigger books, watch out for Scribus's memory handling. If a book has too many large images, Scribus can run out of memory and freeze/crash. It seems to keep uncompressed image data in memory even when the pages are off-screen.I had to split my 276-page (B&W!) book into numerous separate files to avoid this issue.@davidrevoy I'm curious if you ran into this issue as well; I don't remember seeing mention of it in the posts about the similarly thick P&C books.

@davidrevoy This looks like a different issue, mine was with Scribus itself being unable to keep all my pages in memory at once, so I never even got as far as the PDF export on large books xP All my exports were under 30 pages because I had to split the book up, so I never ran into PDF file size issues.

@NiwlCraft Thank you for this reminder, I somehow didn't notice that it was Wednesday when I woke up and was happily forgetting to do Wednesday chores :'D I best get to those.

@jsstaedtler That definitely sounds like too much D: Seeing how many comments there are on an image might be useful for you, but is it important enough to your visitors to warrant it being among the first things they see about an image? I'd leave it out. And if it's for yourself, maybe a colour-coded border could work, since you'd know what it means, and it wouldn't be visible to guests?

@jsstaedtler There being comments available is not going to make me click on an image I'm not interested in xP Extraneous icons make me leave. If you want to encourage comments, I think it's more important that they're visible and easy to use on the image page. In the thumbnail list, they are entirely irrelevant IMO.(On a related note, the full images being below the fold feels bad. I think either the giant header needs to be reduced, or the images should skip the header using an anchor link.)

@jsstaedtler On an earlier version of my website, I had a header on my home page, but not on any of the sub-pages. Perhaps that could be a good interim option for you?

@jsstaedtler That sounds fine to me, though I do think there's value in pacing uploads instead of getting everything up at once, even if it's old.FWIW if you're adding manual descriptions anyway, manually transcribing the dialogue would probably be faster and less frustrating than switching software to OCR and making corrections. You can stay in the flow of describing each strip in its one text box.

@NiwlCraft No more sponsors? Does that mean it auto-skips in-video ad reads, a la SponsorBlock?

@NiwlCraft Nice. And yeaaah, YouTube is gnarly. So much useless JavaScript running all the time.

@NiwlCraft And the software names seem to get sillier-sounding every few years.

@NiwlCraft re: possibility: Definitely, it could work the way Shinigami Eyes does. I haven't heard of anyone making such a thing though.I use the AI blocklist linked in another reply (loaded as a custom list with part of the nuclear list included, so no auto-updates), and while not perfect and I had to tweak the applied style to work on my search engine, it does help.I don't use search engines very much though, so I'm not the best judge of its quality.

@NiwlCraft Maybe the execs aren't computer people and have so much malware on their machines that they think the delay of communicating with a remote server on every click is normal.(How I wish it was something so innocent ._.)

Bleh, wanted to try DeltaChat but their desktop clients are apparently Electron? I am so sick of Electron. (There's a Tauri version, but that's also a web browser in a trench coat.) I want something with a native client ;o;
