Exact same strategy here. There’s a lot of ways to decorate towers too which is great.

Shame that Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t have any one-armed Herdazian jokes

I know it’s not consistent but I read them like zsh = zee shell, ssh I spell out “s s h”, sudo I say /ˈsuː.doʊ/. or “soo dough”

Alternative hint: “Johnny _____ up your bow and play your fiddle hard.” From The Devil Went Down To Georgia

I heard a lot of people liked Watership Down, so I got it digitally. I tried to like it, I really did, but I just couldn’t… I don’t know, care? It just started feeling like a labor to read it so I stopped about 20% of the way in.

Idk maybe one day I’ll give it another try.

Recently finished everything in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere, now waiting for December for the next Stormlight Archives book.

Officially supported versions of stuff I enjoy from mods, like more subclasses from Xanathar’s, a properly working werewolf model for Blood Hunter mod, or stuff from TCoE

I found out that Satisfactory is on sale right now, and will go up in price by $10 after the sale. So if you want it before 1.0 comes out now would be a great time.

There is no antiememetics division

A shocking number of users would be hard pressed to figure out how to type in a url to a mobile web browser… or even know what that is, and they deserve a nice user interface too. App stores make it easier to find, too.

Stardew valley is 2D so fewer controls to learn than a 3D game. It also has a cute art style.

Update 8 is on stable. From the wiki

Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.8.3.0 – Build 264901. This patch was released on 14 November 2023. It is the last patch of Update 8 development, bringing its features to the stable branch.

WoW Classic: Season of Discovery, and I recently started my second playthrough of Satisfactory now that Update 8 is out.

Returnal

Something that made me happy or hopefully this year would be my cat recovering from a rather nasty infection. He’s a very good boy.

ECMAScript spec says Math.random must be less than 1. I was about to stop there, but a thought occurred to me: could the multiply with a float make a number large enough to floor to a different value for large enough values? 🤔

I imagine it’d have to be a ridiculously large number to amount enough floating point imprecision to matter, if so.

The only in-game shops should be AWESOME shops.

They said “primarily”, not “exclusively.”

I can only speak from the experience of one app at one company, but data we collected was for troubleshooting. Mainly because customers will email us stuff like “your app doesn’t work!!! Worst company ever!!” And absolutely no identifying information whatsoever. To make matters worse they’ll email with an email that they didn’t give us as a customer so how in the world are we supposed to help‽
So we collect enough data so whoever in the company might need to help them can actually do so.
There’s a lot of “this app is impossible to use!!!” That we find out with enough data collection is just them refusing to hit the GIANT button in the middle of the damn screen that would solve their problem. I hate users.
I believe we answered questions in the Apple and Google stores that says that we collect information and send it to 3rd parties (because analytics platforms are technically 3rd party) but not to sell it. I don’t know if that distinction is clear on the stores though.

This could be the opening line in a high school textbook for a course on how to use the Internet

I didn’t?
