Custom Bluesky feed for 2XKO has been tweaked to boost video clips (to match the other feeds) for the duration of the Alpha Lab 2!

Check out the feed here: bsky.app/profile/did:...

If you're curious how the feeds work, check out my blog post: tinker.diy/posts/custom...

#2XKO #2XKO_AlphaLab #FGC

Might be able to approximate this with a custom feed. There’s no “seen post” trigger but you could track the posts that the feed has served you and not serve them again. Infinite scrolling is facilitated by pagination and you could make ppp smaller to reduce chance of missing posts

Custom Bluesky feed for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has been tweaked to boost video clips for the duration of the open beta — check it out!

side view of a butterfly sitting on a leaf, partially obstructed so you can only see the wing and antenna poking out from behind. wing has patterns that mimic the appearance of owl eyes

two blue butterflies with their wings intermingled

a group of butterflies on a small flower -- the butterflies end up looking a bit like an odd flower themselves

few of my other favorites

three butterflies are grouped on a bright flower. in the blurred background, another butterfly appears to watch them with an eye-shaped pattern on its wing

a branch with leaf cutter ants carrying a variety of plant matter in different colors -- green leafs, yellow, white, pink, and red flower pedals.

first time trying to photograph bugs -- learned some stuff for next time

with the release of #VF5REVO, the weighting for the custom Bluesky feed for VF has been updated to be closer to the SF6 feed's settings. hope to see more people posting clips!

Ran into this awesome Merlin that caught a European Starling at a nearby park

Hikers snowshoeing into a forest, seen from behind with the bare snow in the foreground contrasted by the forest canopy in the background

First time snowshoeing 👍

Can search and then tap the Feeds tab, but here’s a direct link: bsky.app/profile/did:...

There’s some alternate feeds you can try, like Quiet Posters (ppl you follow that post less frequently). Or you could make your own feed algorithm however you like (I made a few for fighting games that prioritize video content)

do you use Last Win SOCD on leverless? I find for older games (including REVO), stuff like half circles are much more consistent when I set SOCD to Neutral instead of Last Win.

Should add @umad.ca

Oof, @bsky.app really crunched this video
