I (along with a bunch of other people) make Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop and DFHack. It would be cool if you could play Spy Cards with other people online. 🌉 bridged from https://mastodon.lubar.me/@ben on the fediverse by https://fed.brid.gy/

(I say "lines of code" but it also counts function calls in the same counter)

different parts of the code have different limits

the easing function for a particle effect gets 10 lines before it crashes out

your main loop gets like a million lines of code and that limit is reset every time you yield by sleeping or doing a state transition or whatever

probably like 10% of that performance profile flame chart's width is the function that tracks how many lines of code have been run by a script so it can bail out if it's taking too long

and all that does is subtract 1 from an integer and store the result back in the hashtable it got it from

mite knight does a frankly ridiculous number of calculations per frame for a spy cards online game mode

most of them won't be doing _any_ scripting on most frames

we're getting to the point where refcounting is a significant performance cost so maybe it's safe to stop here

anyone have any ideas for what I can try here
Granting an item with multiple tags This is only granting an item with "strange:5011", not both strange tags. Is this a bug in the API or am I doing something wrong? { "itemdefid": 6086, "type": "generator", "name": "Twitch Drop Steam PvP Fest 2026 - Strange 22A3-1 Assault Rifle", "bundle": "2000", "tags": "strange:5010;strange:5011" }

apparently, twitch's idea of "testing" is sitting on a page with a blank stream for 15 minutes and having the dates of the drop campaign intentionally set wrong
