      @IoleRae -

      Ooo I have a question about that as Digital Ocean was confusing me.

      69d81d52-b9d1-4815-a89f-22d3f364e3e2-image.png

      That cost is just $4 or like $4 a month plus some hour thing? I’ve not seen the per-hour displayed before.

        @Whisky $4 a month is $0.0054757015742642 an hour. So it’s the same thing.

          @Pavel - Well that’s what I thought but also displaying the per hour rate was throwing me off. Especially as it didn’t cover it in the FAQs.

                Presumably, there’s something about high-intensity processes equalling more ‘hours’ on your bill… otherwise, how can you use your droplet for more hours than there are in a month?

                  i dunno

                  That’s kind of where I got confused. If it was a hard cap, or if after you hit the cap performance takes a big it. Or it just goes down.

                    Many kinds of web applications on DO are on-demand, so they don’t need to be running for the whole month. You spin up a droplet, do some work, then delete it.

                    A MUSH needs to be running 24/7 so it’s easier just to think about it using the monthly rate.

                    FYI - for AresMUSH (and for most websites/wikis) you need the 2GB droplet, which is $12/month. That baby $4 droplet is good for advertising but can’t do much.

                      @Faraday Thank you very much and appreciate it. Was trying to find an ARES FAQ thread here and should have just made one to ask 😄

                        Well. Not necessarily. I still remember the bad old days of having to hit evenings EST when a game would be up.

                        Am I old?

                          Apparently? But I’m probably just as old so that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

                          With DO though you don’t stop getting charged when the thing is OFF, only when you delete the server completely. So a game that only runs a few hours a day would cost the same as one that runs 24/7.

                              When someone writes an either really funny or really flattering rel on your character. And even throws in a song to boot. Or when you write one on someone else’s character and they message you about it.

                              It’s those little things makes me slightly squishy. Like I’m just going to take this and hide in my goblin hole and cherish it.

                                When my Google history is once again filled with “what happens if you inject someone with [stuff],” it’s a sure sign I’m entertained by a M*. 😄

                                I have this problem with Youtube. I use incognito windows for so many things on Youtube or my recommendations are ruined.

                                  I wish you would.

                                      The people on LA are super fucking generous about making character art and deserve a shout-out. The only person whose BMD handle I know for sure is @ratatat, and they’ve been incredibly nice about using all their free image-processing credits on other people’s characters. ❤

                                      Not using a PB can make finding character icons difficult, so it’s really cool to see folks making it easy to reach outside that face-claim comfort zone.

                                        @KarmaBum I mean, shout out to LA in general since I have not seen a mush who’s playerbase has been so willing to intermingle with each other in regards to tying everyone’s backstory together in some fashion, be it large or small.

                                        Off the top of my head I can think of five or six different connections with various players for my character and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many players in one place be so open towards working together.

                                        It makes my black, bitter heart all soft and fuzzy.

                                          I just had what was probably the best RP experience I’ve had in more than a year, with someone I’m pretty sure I don’t already know, and who also seems nice and interesting.

                                          I…

                                          Someone please get the smelling salts, because I’m prolly gonna faint.

                                          faint

                                            When you find an image that is just so much your character’s aesthetic/concept/whatever.

                                            It’s magic, and I love it so much.
