Introducing: Nitro Porter, a data portability tool for communities
A week ago I created Nitro Porter, a new (old) tool for migrating communities between platforms. It's basically a data portability project that lets you move from 30 different forum platforms into a common format for importing elsewhere.
Today, I wrote about my first week working on it and started a website for it.
If you've been around a long time, you remember our epic migration project of a decade ago. That's where the earliest versions of this project came from, so it's super nostalgic to be getting back into it.

Protip: If you've reserved a rental car, you might want to see whether modifying your reservation will result in a lower price. Avis prices took a nosedive recently and I got a much larger vehicle for about $100 less than what I originally had.

Prey (19.3 hours): More recent Prey not crazy ghost alien native american awesome Prey. Crazy weird alien stuff making copies of coffee mugs. Learning new skills by jamming stuff into your left eyeball. The story didn't feel that compelling but for some reason I got enough enjoyment of the gameplay that I just kept going. Really annoying to have enemies respawn in areas that were previously cleared since it just sucks up resources that are rather limited so the game is passively telling you to sneak but to do a bunch of the missions in the game you have to use combat soooo....... Very interesting endings to be had. The game basically lets you climb on everything and there is a weird hacking game.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution(17.4 hours) : Yes yes Dois Exquise. I played this game for 2 hours years ago and got frustrated with the shooting so I uninstalled. Now I have no idea what happened in those two hours besides something caught fire some place, other characters telling me about people getting kidnapped or a factory being attacked is my only knowledge at this point. Wouldn't say I liked the game but for some reason I just kept playing it, every 45 minutes I felt like I was getting close to the 'last chapter' but the game would always been syc not really. It makes the writing feel cheap but at the same time it is on point for square/metal gear styled games. SO MANY LADDERS FOR REAL YO, and then you die from fall two stories onto your robot legs come on. The game was enjoyable and it was pretty fun to see what a peak game was from 7 years ago. Plus punching holes in walls to find a candy bar occasionally was choice. All the sex trafficking and the occasional racial slur was interesting.

Little Nightmares (2.9 hours): Not a long game but a really well done game. A dark platformer that doesn't tell you anything besides what you can learn from the visuals in the game. There is a lot of care and detail on everything and the game rewards you with finding all the little special things. The plot could best be described as Spirited Away, consumerism that eats the young and binds people into an ugly future.

Battlefield V (6 hours): The single player is what Battlefield I should have been, a snippet with a decent story from a different aspect of WWII. There was still a lot of reflex sights on guns which bugs me plus other exotic hardware just all over the place. Had several technical issues with video stutters despite running 90-140 fps, game stuck loading, a crash, and unable to actually exit the game without a forced kill of the exe. When you have the same very specific issues between different games it really shows how much you care. It was free.

Gunfire Reborn (12 hours): This is a rogue game but with guns and a skill tree. Weapons can be upgraded or better/worse version will drop during the play through. The maps are technically procedural generated since some times the paths change but realistically things never change. When so much of your play through hinges on RNG for weapons and buff upgrades it feels frustrating unlike a true skill only game. Since there is only one map and only three levels you spend all night doing the same thing just to grind more points to burn on the skill tree. You do get different characters with a small variety of special actions or buffs but it doesn't change the run and nature so once you figure out a strong gun combo you use that with every character.

Alpaca Staka(9 minutes): Free, cute, fun, unity plat-former. An alpaca was going to a party with a hen but the squirrel wasn't invited and he was jelly so he let the hen's chicks out of their pen. Now the alpaca must find the kids and return them home. Super basic plat former but cute.
