Battlefield 6 are trying to bring something like this back with Portal (https://portal.battlefield.com).

You can write "experiences" in TypeScript then host your own server that people can join without having to download/install a mod themselves.

If you like the idea of a small "dumbish" camera but aren't fussed about all the ZK proof stuff these are quite fun: https://www.campsnapphoto.com/collections/camp-snap-screen-f... I have a few and letting my small kid have a blast while not getting "screen time" is great.

Side effect is I get a small little window into what he "sees" and his lived experience. Going through some of the pics recently was quite beautiful.

I mentioned https://pageday.org last month, still keen to get it going as a slow burner.

Also been doing small little prototypes with cursor/claude for a game I'd love to tinker on more.

https://prototype-actions.prefire.app/

https://prototype-fov.prefire.app/

It's quite an interesting process to vibe code game stuff where I have a vague concept of how to achieve things but no experience/muscle memory with three.js & friends.

Yeah that's a good question, and something we haven't codified.

Odds are that we'll curate quite heavily to keep it interesting and maybe along similar guidelines to hn with "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" rather than just "anything".

This is great well done! I was literally chatting to an llm about what it'd take to make something just like this on the weekend :)

Tinkering with a platform for people who're interested in doing analysis/visualisation of data from professional Counter Strike games.

i.e. instead of them having to download demos, extract them, parse them and then only query data. I want to just have a database available so they get to skip all those steps.

Not gonna make me rich but if I can get it to cover it's own costs I'll be stoked.

Sorry if this is unsolicited feedback, but reading:

> Conduct your most crispest and productive 1 : 1s

Feels awkward to me.

> Conduct the most crisp and productive 1:1s

Could be more organic?

Only TF2? Or do you also do other markets like CS?

I'm curious to know how much actual knowledge about the game makes compared to just being a good "trader"?

There's an interesting dynamic because of the domains, I originally registered with `n1c.bsky.social` because like you say whether I intended to use the service or not it's nice to lock in the name. But then the next level is that it's actually more valuable or makes more sense for me to use it as `n1c.dev` as it's more closely tied to "me".

I am kinda sad that now someone else who isn't me is n1c.bsky but so be it.

I've also had this idea in the back of my mind. A few weeks I ago downloaded the official Github client without really thinking, on the assumption that obviously that's what it would do. Only to be sorely disappointed.

Good luck, I look forward to this existing!

I started a Slack community for the South African tech scene [1] that turns 10 in January so I've been pondering my successes and failures there, as well as what it's future holds.

This looks rad, and interesting to see you have a lot of CS in the examples. I'm assuming this is because you get to just grab a ton of data from demos rather than trying to get integrations?
