After playing the game further I'm actually convinced this IS a trick and not the intended way to do it. But it's a good trick and makes it easier lol.

10.08.2025 21:30 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I don't know if that's the intended solution but it definitely makes it a lot easier. I doubt anyone who needs this info will ever see it. But oh well. xD
09.08.2025 12:54 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Omg I've been struggling so much to get the Dream Stones in the Factory in Klonoa 2. Turns out there's a trick. You go BACK and get the bird that's flying above the lava, throw THAT at the Pixie and then you don't have to wait for the bird that's there to respawn and can make it in time.
09.08.2025 12:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Niiiiiiice! You may already know but there's a recentish animated movie called The Road Home where Sheridan hops through alternate B5 realities and stuff. It's not B5 at its best but it's a nice fun revisit to the world of B5!

07.08.2025 21:33 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Klonoa's turned out to be way better than I expected. Good story (although somewhat surprisingly depressing ending lol), and pretty challenging if you go for 100%. They've made an amazing game and levels just out of simple mechanics. Highly recommend if you like platformers and haven't played yet.
07.08.2025 21:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Very occasionally when playing C&C3, my units just suddenly start shooting the heck outa each other. Feels like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
01.08.2025 22:49 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Just playing Klonoa for the first time (well, properly). Wasn't expecting the boss music to remind me of FF music lol.
01.08.2025 22:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Lately all the songs I play seem to be in Other/Misc, rather than from an album or particular artist/band I like. xD Mostly video game music ofc lol.

27.07.2025 22:14 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I enjoy editing HTML, but sometimes I need to just write a blog entry and not worry about tags/text wrapping. So the objective is to be able to do both and switch between the two as needed.
27.07.2025 20:56 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So "add simple stats to my site" has somehow transformed into:
- Adding declare( strict_types = 1 ); to all my php and using it everywhere
- Reorganising into 3 "layers", db/util, widgets and pages
- Planning a file manager, togglable Ace/WYSIWYG for editing pages
I haven't done the stats yet lol.
Worms WMD is not almost a decade old already. O_O
I prefer Armageddon (never really liked the crafting in WMD) anyway but man that's gone quick.
I totally get it, I've considered doing the same! But I can't resist xD
23.07.2025 18:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I'm holding out for FF7R!
23.07.2025 18:27 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Do we know for certain FF7 Remake is going to be a game key card (booooo) on Switch 2?
I seem to remember it was confirmed but Google's telling me things like "highly likely" and "99% chance". #ff7 #ff7remake #ff7r #switch2 #nintendo
Womp, womp. Still no RBY/GSC on NSO. :( #switch #switch2 #nintendo #pokemonpresents

21.07.2025 22:06 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I've gotten into this BRAND NEW THING, strict types and type-hinting in #php. Thought I'd make a quick cheat sheet/reference!

One day I'll post something on here without a typo the first time and not have to delete and repost it eight times. #bluesky
21.07.2025 22:03 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Franchise? Is that right? Series? Eh you know what I mean. xD
20.07.2025 20:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It seems the entire franchise has lots of discounts atm on gog.
20.07.2025 20:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Figure I'd post this for people who may have not played in a long time. Worms Armageddon is 80% off on GoG.com, (ยฃ2.19 in the UK). Switch 33% off (ยฃ16.74).
Lots of single player (training, missions, ranked VS CPU battles).
A game you can pick up and have a blast any time for a bit of fun.
Alrighty, today's "get it done or I'm fired, from my hobby, by me" task = finish changes to database layer + fix everything that will now not be working due to the changes.
19.07.2025 10:05 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Wow nice one, thank you so much that's very useful stuff!
18.07.2025 23:45 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Global script! The overall plan is:
- if non-wanted user agent (bot/crawler), do nothing
- if not exist, insert request url/today's date/hits=1 as a row in db
- if row already exist, update (+1 to counter)
Then I can see each day which pages have been visited and how many hits they had. :)
Although, I like Steam but use GoG wherever possible just because DRM free.
