Pickaxe Model Test

07:49AM

I grabbed a bunch of different pickaxe models and now I am looking to test them out on the threejs ecosystem. My goal will be to see if the low poly version or a downscaled version would be better for the long term.
11:18AM

Sweet we got the pickaxe added into the game, now I am going to create the itemdb entry for it, and then hook it up with the mining. This way the player can mine the different ores that are on the map, this will be the first skill that we focus on within the game. We will have to update the itemdb proto so that it holds the data for the grid management within the inventory, but we also have weight as well.

Herbmail Lighting v2

10:05AM

Hermail lighting update, which will be a big deal because I have not done any major updates to the game. After the lighting is baked, we will need to figure out how to add the pickaxe and then link the mining skill. Once that is live, I will look at improving the combat as a follow up.

Saturday Cleaner Days

04:15PM

A bit whacked out and went through the whole house to do some quick spring cleaning. I think it might be time to start building that IOT cleaning system that I was talking about in the past.

Kilobase

11:15PM

Spent a decent amount of time trying to get kilobase to be operational enough from both the monorepo and the postgres fork. Our plan is to use this to build out the supabase cluster before launching the steam game.

Intel NUCs

11:59PM

Before end of the day, it would be dope if we could get chip to run some of the worker nodes via his intel NUCs. Getting them to be deployed and joining our cluster would make things so much cooler and easier to use in the future.

Macros To help improve my warriors rotation, I decided to grab the GSE: Advance Macros addon and then started to build around a basic macro script. The first test would be to generate a random number between 1 and 10 and then send it via chat message.

/run local num = math.random(1, 10); SendChatMessage("The number is " .. num, "SAY")

Arms

Switching from Fury over to Arms, going to give that a shot next. There is a bit of an issue with how the macro system is working, I am thinking that the solution might be to make the macro in python.

2023

10:00am - My lunch is going to be epic, I am looking at 12 wings and a Philly cheese steak pizza!
3:00pm - I am enjoying this pull back within the market! I am hoping we see tesla go back down to the low $200s, which would give me some time to grab a couple more cheaper LEAPs.
5:35pm - The tag system and generating the relationships with those files are next on my task list. We could make the tag system built around the same MDX structure? We could automate the tags by looking through all the files? I am not too sure I want the tag system to rebuild each time we compile the website, maybe we could have the tag system run as its own yarn function.
6:34pm - The Supabase and Pocketbase integrations with Appwrite might be a bit too much for what we are doing right this second but we are test casing a couple multi-api communication vectors. We are running pocketbase on the NodePy image but we have not yet setup the supabase.
9:00pm - Okay I was able to get a local version of the supabase to run under Postgress, I am wondering if I could extend it out with some micro controllers without running into I/O locks. I suppose we could at least test case a read-only style replication but these options will be for later this month.
