@lain Had a recent experience that was pretty frustrating with a junior dev. They kept sending me confusing PRs that took hours to review. Eventually it forced me to have a meeting with them about it, whereby I learned that they were figuring out what to do through AI prompts and then stitching the solution together.

Worst of both worlds.

@coolboymew Thanks! I'll try to find some time to play it. Curiosity is going to get the best of me here.

@coolboymew Is Saya no Uta good? I have been morbidly curious about it since I first heard of it, but haven't pulled the trigger on playing it.

@coolboymew Good job, keep it up! :blobcatCheer: Changing diets and fixing habits like this is tough, but I'm sure it'll be a good change in the end.

@coolboymew I'm out of the loop here, is there something going on with XBox right now?

@arcanicanis @PurpCat @coolboymew lol that takes me back. We had a few blessed devices with a dev-cert to produce builds on. I recall that BS $100 fee, good to hear it's apparently not a thing any more.

@coolboymew @PurpCat I used to be an app developer (years ago now), and no - you need a legit Mac to sign the final binary. Not sure if it's changed since then, but it was a big annoyance for our build system.

@coolboymew My last ever Mac purchase, I had tons of trouble wiping the drive to install a different OS. It was as if their boot firmware actively tried to prevent it. Anyways, I struggled to find the magic combination of peripherals to be able to do what I wanted.

In the end I needed a special keyboard. For some reason my other keyboard did not work for inputting the key commands for accessing the BIOS???

Such a pain in the ass, never again.

@coolboymew I dunno I'm pretty into "coffee cafe" myself :blobcat3cSmirk:

@coolboymew @dielan this song lives rent free in my head: https://youtu.be/o4WLvVs_lAM

@coolboymew LRG sucks ass, I hate when a release goes through them. :blobcatDead:

@Relected 𝙍𝙪𝙣. :blobcatFearful:

@coolboymew Hydrated, but at what cost?

After working with it a bit, I can tell I'm really going to like my new keyboard. However, there are still a few things I need to tweak on it.

I really want to be done programming this thing, I feel like I've spent enough time on this keyboard. But if I finish the year without it being "done" I'll feel really bad about it.

@coolboymew This show is so good, really excited for the next episode!

This arc is really well done, and it's a nice change of pace from the slower opening. I like both, but it's nice that it's mixing in a little more action-centric stuff to keep things fresh, even if it's only for a bit.

@coolboymew @dielan Yes it is! Which is another reason why I'm so salty about it... :blobcatNotLikeThis:

@dielan I was pretty disappointed to see it win the best soundtrack at the VGAs. It's serviceable, but IMO pretty forgettable. Just felt like a similar kind of thing you'd get from some Hollywood movie or something, and we'll forget about it after everyone stops caring about the game. It definitely has an "identity" to its soundscape, but I'm not sure if I believe that's enough to set it apart from other soundtracks in any unique way.

I know that the VGAs are just a popularity contest, but it bugged me for some reason.

@dielan Oh yes I certainly have other problems with the game, but the praise for the soundtrack bit bugged me the most.

It's been weird, I didn't really like Ragnarok, but all my friends seemed to. I feel like I'm in bizarro land. :blobcatDizzy:
