We also hid eggs in the giant skeletons, and a zombie hand was the prize for a scavenger hunt from the Easter Frog, who I made up as part of a secret society of Easter animals with particular specialities. I’ve been coding our Easter Bunny as an eccentric gentleman and Santa as a lowkey messy bitch

I play mostly solo so it suits me better. Chaotic availability.

I have! That’s part of what drew me back in!

I do have them on my PC as well, but I reserve that mostly for Pantheon stuff. I *did* have an overheating problem recently, but it needed a good dusting and a suite of new case fans. Way overdue. Running nice now. Could use a video card upgrade though. Also overdue. (Still running an old GTX 1080)

Man... I really missed EverQuest, both EQ1 *and* EQ2. Been spending a little of my limited free time re-familiarizing myself with both games. Have done this in the past, but the time hasn't really felt as "right" as it does now. Plus, they're running really well on my Mac in Crossover.

A whole bunch of EverQuest Legends questions were answered on their new FAQ - including the fact that housing WILL be a thing at launch! Neat.

That feels unlikely, but one can hope!

I’m looking forward to playing this. It’ll also be very interesting to see how it plays out.

- MIDI mappings for track slots and playlists are saved globally, not in the individual playlists themselves.

### Optimizations
- More behind-the-scenes optimizations to keep things running smoothly

### User Guide
- A link to the User Guide can now be found at the bottom of the Settings window

- The Playlists themselves may now be MIDI mapped
- To MIDI map playlists or tracks, drag the playlist or track to the right to expose the MIDI button. Tap it to enter MIDI learn mode.
- In MIDI learn mode, you will be warned if your change would overwrite an existing mapping

- Any of the first 20 track slots (for now) in the playlist may now be MIDI mapped. If you move tracks contained within the slot, the mapping will stay with the slot, not the track that moved away. If there is no track loaded in that slot and it has a MIDI mapping, it will do nothing.

- Playlists are now saved with their start/stop time data

- Added a new region editor for defining the start/stop time for a track. Pinch to zoom or pan, tap to set position, tap+drag to set start and stop times for the track, refine further by zooming further or by using the fine-tuning controls below the waveform.

### Playlist Improvements
- A "track" now consists of an audio file + a start/stop time, so the same audio file may be used more than once, with a different start/stop time

Meanwhile, I've already been digging into the next release which will have some bigger frequently requested features. Not everything will necessarily make it in, but I know some folks will be very happy. Stay tuned!

ArchersPlayer v1.3.0 is available now on the iOS app store, containing an important bug fix as well as a new "warp" control:

Dragging the control up/down alters the currently playing track's pitch, while dragging left/right alters it's playback speed. It's very fun to play with. :)

I'm so ecstatic that this AudioUnits plugin I literally tossed together on a whim for a friend! If you notice anything weird or broken, please do let me know.

Well, now I know what happens when you accidentally remove the verification files atproto uses to verify your domain handle. 🤣 All fixed now, but geesh. It's been like that for a few weeks now before I even noticed!

I had not listened to @mourningcandle.bsky.social yet, but I'm liking what I heard here!
It's Industrial/GothicMetal, appropriately synth-heavy with an awesome vocalist, really cool guitarwork and tasteful drum-programming.
Great lyrics, too!

Highly, highly recommended!

Thanks to #NashvilleVoyager for the interview about navigating a still male-dominated music industry and defending lyricism and vocals as powerful instruments in their own right. 💪 🎶
