If the shield soaks up energy like that, I'd expect it to grow stronger from absorbing it. Maybe make it look more like it's deflecting/bouncing the attacks off instead? ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธโœจ

After finishing a technical report on helios, Iโ€™m diving back into #helios development this weekend! Focus is on #Gamepad #Input! Planning to build a small graphical demo to show the progress - visuals avilable in my #twitch stream! ๐ŸŽฎ

Coffee, #progressive #house (Adriatique's Cercle set from Alpe d'Huez is ๐Ÿ˜™๐Ÿ‘Œ), and a dialed-in IDE.

That's the vibe for pushing code on weekends.

Someone on #StackOverflow nailed the essence of #defensive #programming:

"When writing industrial-strength code, you should always assume that your coworkers are psychopaths trying to get you any way they can (especially since it's often yourself in the future)"
