I mean... why?

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 4h

"Connection lost. Please reconnect"

Why the fuck do I need a internet connection to play a single player game?

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 7h

Ok, I'm ready.

This is truly excellent. Nice work 😎

It's @devlead.se who should get the praise for this. Supporting 'dotnet run` and all that it entails has been his baby for a while 😃

Campaign is far from BF3 which IMO was a masterpiece in many ways. Have only played for an hour so far, but feels like your average/generic Call of Duty game, which is not a compliment.

Joke's on them, I don't play multiplayer

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 6h

I wonder if the next game is going to have US soldiers as protagonists or antagonists 🤔

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 7h

Ok, I'm ready.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Once again, make a hit game loved by many... and you still get hit by a truck.

The industry is pretty sick right now.

I couldn’t find a decent syntax highlighting library for .NET — so I built one while working on my AI coding assistant CodePunk.

If you hold out until .NET 10 drops (or you're ok with RC1) there are some BIG improvements to regular Cake (it's now run as a `dotnet run` script): cakebuild.net/blog/2025/07...

Cake - dotnet cake.cs - preview

I've taken a LOT of inspiration from System.CommandLine, and removed all the stuff I don't need. Some things that have been removed from S.CL, such as middleware, are available in Jinn: github.com/patriksvenss...

This is not as battle-tested and proven as S.CL, so you should probably not use it.

I've released version 0.1 of Jinn, my "We have System.CommandLine at home" library. This is what we're going to use in Spectre.Console.Cli vNext (or Spectre.Cli, which it most probably will be called)

it can’t be good for our fragile brains to be asking “is this real?” at everything we see

It's better to keep up-to-date than to do all the work once you need it.

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 1d

Not zero though. Some new cool stuff in 10 as stack alloc if variable can be proven to be local to a function etc

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 1d

Yay! Awesome! 🎉

Performance: About 19% perf improvement and 4% less memory

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 1d

Hmmm, will check. Hold on

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 1d

Seeing a 21% performance improvement and 5% less allocated memory by just retargeting my library from .NET 9 to .NET 10 (RC1). Pretty cool if you ask me.
