⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 3hMaking the jump from arcade/simcade to actual sim racing has been harder than I expected. You have to basically unlearn everything because you have to change your approach from "Go fast and slow down if you fail" to "Don't fail, then speed up" For someone like me that's a hard transition to make. 250

⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 29/09/2026I should collect feedback on BBG's content warning system. I did something different with it because I feel other events do it wrong. I have the warning up all run with context on WHEN and HOW to expect the problem. I think it's better, but I am one creature. 580
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 28/09/2026My friend group grabbed me and threatened (kinky) violence if I didn't stop taking on projects for a bit so I guess that's a thing. They can act on it too! Gives me time to quietly plan what's coming next anyway. 270
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 28/09/2026Phew. I'm exhausted. BBG's done. Great event as always. 1120
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 27/09/2026Well it happened finally. A datacenter powering my video transit cluster had an incident in the middle of a marathon. We switched to another server and kept on trucking but augh :) 160
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 27/09/2026There's a bug in my marathon tech stack that I thought I'd fixed 3 times now. It's hit the same person two of those three times. In short, Youtube's embed system leaks memory like a sieve and Browsersources are extremely intolerant of high RAM usage. I need to cut our reliance on Youtube yesterday 030
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 27/09/2026I wrote an entire new content warning system just for the run that's on right now. 3186

⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 24/09/2026About a day and a half til BBG. I've re-checked everything 6 times now; it'll be about 10 before the marathon starts. Once we're rolling I'll relax a bit, but those first couple of runs, you know? 090
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 23/09/2026Gonna ask here because asking this anywhere actually for this hobby sounds like a MASSIVE amount of unfun waiting to happen: Are there any trans/queer/otherwise-GNC sim racing streamers or creators out there? I realized literally all the racing streamers I watch are British dudes. 5105
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 23/09/2026BBG is all ready to go. I really need to get better at this delegating thing. Just the stuff only I can do because I own the video transit servers is 1.2 people's worth of work. 160
⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 22/09/2026Everyone in a position of any power or voice in a community needs to understand this: You are excluding someone. You are.

⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 19/09/2026I had my access to meds go unstable right when I'd planned to do a lot of BBG prep work, and instead played 72 hours of racing games because I couldn't cope well. Now that I fixed the meds, I'm scrambling to finish and feel like I failed in smoothly setting all this up. But it's going to get done. 260

⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 22/08/2026Well, I quit Kusogrande. I'll probably do the tiebreakers because capturing tiebreak attempts cleanly requires shell access to my video cluster right now, and then idk. I might go back to just being a GM. I need more time to focus on BBG and such. 030

⚠⚡Ellie-lectra @trysdyn.voidfox.com · 15/08/2026We need something between Twitch and OwnCast. Where Big Money won't decide to milk everyone for profit, but also each streamer isn't expected to know Linux and bring their own node and bandwidth.
