Meet Tiropita (“Cheese Pie”) 🧀🥧

I just discovered this subreddit, and I guess she belongs here.

Tiropita is the daughter of our cat, Titi, who had four kittens. She was the only girl in the litter. My sister had already decided she wanted the female because she already had a male cat and wanted a pair.

That male cat is called Charlie… but after one day when she wrapped him up in a towel like a little burrito, he somehow permanently earned the nickname Bougatsa. 😄

For anyone unfamiliar with Greek food: bougatsa is a traditional pastry (especially popular in northern Greece) that’s filled with either sweet cream or cheese.

So we made my sister a deal: she could have the female kitten, but only if she named her Tiropita (“Cheese Pie”). We thought Bougatsa and Tiropita would make the perfect bakery-themed duo, since they’re probably the two pastries you’ll find in almost every bakery in northern Greece.

Plot twist: my son got attached to Tiropita and couldn’t bear to part with her. So… Tiropita stayed with us instead.

No regrets. We accidentally kept the best cat. ❤️

Sotto is a native iOS remote for Denon and Marantz A/V receivers. I'm the developer, and I'm looking for testers with varied receiver models so I can verify the control protocol across the lineup.

Free beta, no account, no ads, no tracking - it only talks to your receiver on your local network. The app can optionally prepare an anonymized snapshot (model / firmware / zones only) to help me add proper support for your exact model.

Apple is reviewing the current beta build, so I'll send invites shortly. Sign up with your receiver model here: https://sottoremote.app

Helpers during the beta keep the app free for good. Later it will probably be freemium with a small one-time unlock, around $6.99.

“HTHMNSCTHMING”

Eldritch Horror is a cooperative board game where 1-8 players (each running a "hero") try to defeat one of several "Ancient One" bosses before a doom countdown hits zero.

For years the community has self-reported the outcome of every game into a shared Google Sheet.

I pulled all ~21,000 of those games into a pipeline that turns them into charts, refreshed daily.

The image is the headline view: each cell is one hero's win rate against one boss (greener = wins more). A few things that fell out of the data:

• Overall win rate sits right around 60%.
• One boss (Cthulhu) is a clear outlier - it drags the community average down more than any other.
• Even at doom 0 - one tick from losing - the community still wins ~3 of 4 games.
• Some matchups you "win" but the whole team gets wiped, so there's a separate view just for casualties.

Full interactive version (heatmaps, a co-play synergy network, difficulty rankings, a tier list, comebacks, expansion impact):

Caveat worth stating up front: this is self-reported data, so there's selection bias (people may log wins more than losses, stronger groups may log more, etc.) - it's "what the community recorded," not a controlled sample.

Feedback very welcome - what's missing, what you'd visualize differently, anything that looks off.
