Yeah I'm on the PDQ on; a bit more active there than I am on here. I'll ping you over there.
I'm good with either. Might be easier to triage on my end with issues.
To make my life easier, and perhaps some others, I've moved my TrueColor acceleration code, with some modifications, into a PowerShell Module called PSRainbow. It's available today in the Gallery for anyone to use.

This looks cool as hell! I didn't know this was out there.
I'm game to help out with this.
Got to hang with my buddy @andrewpla.tech for another PowerShell Wednesday (third time if I remember correctly)!
We give you a pair programming session working on a terminal-based platformer game written entirely in PowerShell: PSPlatformer!

I'll take a stab at mine:
1. Chrono Trigger
2. Secret of Mana
3. Donkey Kong Country 2
4. Mega Man X
5. Earthworm Jim 2
6. Final Fantasy VI
7. Super Game Boy (not technically a game)
8. NBA Jam
9. Hardball 3
10. Kirby Super Star
Somehow missed that Canva acquired Serif. Tried to download my paid for Affinity software to find it's free now thanks to Canva. Like, all three suites.
Not sure what I feel about this. Been an Affinity faithful for a long time. This seems... Not good.
Prepping for enshitification... Maybe.
There was a massive amount of hype around what Persona 5 was going to be when it was announced. There was even this so-called Fan OST that went around on YouTube. Stumbled on this yesterday from that vault. It's snazzy!

I loved this when I was a kid! The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Sonic Blast were my favs. I also had the TV Tuner addon which was super bizarre.
Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
Well played Copilot. Well played.
Oh one other thing I just thought of was that unless I find a better way to do it, it seems like you need to leverage anonymous lambdas that take unit (void) to wrap other function calls for function values (makes the call site "clean"). Some of that gets SUPER messy unless you're careful.
Right now, I'm okay with it. I do prefer the default immutability. Syntax is a little hokey, but not beyond reason. You're almost kinda coerced into using type hints even though it's an optional feature.
Once I translate more of the engine code, I'll be able to use some of the more advanced features of the language like discriminated unions, functions that curry, etc. Overall, I'm optimistic that it's doable. Is likely try to translate not using classes, which should be interesting.
Not as much as I'd like, but I think I narrowed my target domain too much. At minimum, it uses generics, function values, pipelining, interpolating, and anonymous bindings; crucial but narrow. There may be some chance for function composition, but that's a risky move at this point.
For absolutely no reason at all, I wanted to try my hand at F# and did so by yanking some ANSI Escape Sequence code from my PowerShell game and translating it. A few hours later, I had a neat little program.
Most likely not the BEST F#, but whatevs.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
LOL Cleaned out my pantry and found these two hanging out way back on the top shelf. Competitive programming back in my youth.

Duck is one of my favorite meats. It has a great profile at medium rare and is _very_ tender. Almost melts in your mouth.

100%. Nothing cooler than getting to the register only to be told you can get X thing because SNAP won't cover it.
I was a food stamp kid, 100%. I'd wager some of these douches vying for its demise were also. Nothing quite like patting yourself on the back for depriving people, especially children, access to food.
