Okay, this is driving me nuts. I feel like I'm touching a computer for the first time and I can attest I've touched more computers than I've ever touched myself. *cough*
How does one go around adding persistent cookies for something with the file:// protocol
without third-party software or apps and while keeping cache for a specific profile (which is currently kept, but since cookies aren't even saved to the sqlite database...)
- Game options not saving (this one may be a known issue)
- Saves will disappear if cookies go away (makes sense, but... why aren't they stored along with the rest of the web app storage...? I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Twine, and I don't have enough aspirins for a 20MB of HTML+JS marathon, lol)
While it does work with third-party stuff, it's not exactly convenient... or could it be that localstorage is broken for older browsers? Using Firefox, same version as everyone uses before the Quantum apocalypse, will not update it, and I'd like to avoid using Chrome because... Chrome cache is a shitfest to manage as it will cache everything. Literally had to force it to
nul
(not null) to prevent it from caching at all without revoking system access privileges.
If no other option exists, I guess I'll just boot up a VM...
After 12 hours of playtime, still casually on day 1. Apologies for the really dumb question, but I'm convinced there's something unwritten and yet pretty obvious that I'm missing, that doesn't require a browser update or anything of the like, not even tinkering with any prefs.js option.
