No Context Suikoden Mastodon bot

This bot posts (more or less) random images from the Suikoden JRPG series to the Mastodon account botsin.space/@oocgensui. At the moment, it posts two pictures per day.

Structure

The /images folder contains all the images from which the run.py script randomly selects one. The filenames follow the pattern game-gamenumber-description-imagenumber:

game: can be suikoden or suikogaiden.
gamenumber: can be a number between 01 and 05, tierkreis or tsumuji (for Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki). cardstories and pachisuro will be added once pictures of these games will be added.
description: a meaningful description of the image, seperated by -. At the moment, there's not a real pattern, but it should include the character(s) involved in the image(s) and either the main points of the dialogue (if there's any) or of the picture in general.
imagenumber (''optional''): if there's a series of images which belong together and should be posted together, the imagenumber (value 1-4) indicates the index of the image (i.e., imagenumber = 1 will be the first image in a post, 2 the second etc.).

The /image/descriptions folder contains the images' metadata as .yaml files. It contains the following field:

status: The text of the post. Default is "#suikoden #jrpg".
spoiler_warning: If the image needs a content warning, the text can be added. Default is None (does not need to be stated explicitly).
description: Alt-text of the image. Default is "Screenshot of Suikoden."
language: ISO 639-1 language code for the text in the image. Default is en.
sensitivity: Marks image as sensitive content. Default is False.

To do

Alt text

In addition to adding more images, the biggest to do is adding meaningful alt-text to every image which is currently lacking.

HD images

A lot of the images were taken (with permission) from the no context suikoden twitter account. This means that a lot of them are low definition, sometimes even photos from TVs. The goal is to have HD (as HD as it gets) screenshots for each post in the original aspect ratio of the games (4:3 for PS1 and PS2).
