I’m not sure if I’m terrible or if Ever dark Libra could use some small tweaks.

IMHO him having three adds, and those all getting triple damage and HP feels wrong. Maybe they could have 2x damage and hp at most

A four-panel black-and-white comic with a humorous take on programming languages, featuring exaggerated expressions and dramatic dialogue.
	1.	The first panel shows a person pointing to the sky and exclaiming, β€œIt’s Java!” Another person beside them shouts, β€œIt’s Python!”
	2.	In the second panel, a confused person asks, β€œWait, is it both?” while another person confidently replies, β€œIt’s both!”
	3.	The third panel reveals the text β€œJython” with a green steaming coffee cup logo, referencing Jython, a Python implementation that runs on the Java platform.
	4.	In the final panel, a person reacts in frustration, saying, β€œUgh, I hate it!” The Reddit logo appears in the bottom right corner, referencing that this comic is from the ProgrammerHumor community on Reddit.

I read the docs so you don’t have to! #azure #dev #noads

One thing I hope the switch 2 can solve is game sharing in a family. By the time it comes out I’ll have two regular switches and two oled switches

Right now the family game sharing story is really messy and sloppy

I’ve got a multi part guide to making Powershell guis with xaml on foxdeploy, hopeful that helps !

Nowadays I would recommend making a web based tool for ease of use in making web forms with bootstrap or something

Man everyone is talking about pistachio ray mysterio, I should really give it a shot!

But I will say I’m close to beating 9 Sols and still enjoying Balatro

I’m sorry this was a c# project so I had native types for free and can just serialize right from json into my types

In Powershell you could make a constructor for your type and have it take in a json object and set the fields as needed

Recently I just implemented a repository pattern entirely with json files. Hard to beat that for ease of use and edits

I love how so much troubleshooting info if now residing in discord, unseeable, unknowable, unindexable

It also guarantees an eternal September for the discord of people having the same problems

Normalize putting troubleshooting info on wikis and GitHub readmes!

What kind of s60? I’m thinking of a T6 from 2023 or earlier, when they still had twin charging available

I get about five junk or spam comments a day on some Gists I have in my github. Is there some way to suppress these or disable comments?

I saw that concert series as well!

While that series was great, I loved that this series is focused on my favorite game of all time and so we got sooo many good songs

On the downside, lots of crying. Mostly from me!

Now to really share, how many failed pipeline runs did you have till it worked?

I’ll go first, when I moved everything to MSIs it took me 37 failed runs to get a working end to end success!
