Discord Participation
While reviewing the recent Patreon adjustments, I realized that we probably have been overly restrictive on our Discord server. This is intended as an open forum for gaming related discussions, and visibility at the schedules and behind the scenes activities. There have always been a few links available for open invitations, but none really openly…

Website changes
Related to the ongoing website changes, I have made a few fundamental changes to the website itself. Over the last many years, while this site has operated, I have only had myself as a registered member, which is fine, there really isn’t much benefit to anyone to actually register.

Patreon updates
Making a change on my postings to Patreon, to take advantage of some new features. Specifically, I am going to start posting our video previews as Video links rather than Text articles.

Those appear to be corrected now, I have fixed the SSL certificates, and with a bit of tinkering updated the various links and media files. Mastodon still is offline, I failed to recognize…

Site migration
I believe I have successfully completed a full site migration, to move off of my prior hosting service. Since the website doesn’t get a lot of traffic, a self-hosted option is more economical. I am hopeful everything has been caught, but if you notice anything missing or non-functional, please let me know. SSL certificates will…
