I miss my MVC and razor pages, Scoob. I miss them real bad.

Yeah. And JS devs take the 'Git Gud' perspective but it's just like. Why when I can do as much or more and have built in guardrails on compilation.

I think stone people get really comfortable with it being weakly typed when they start with it and they get frustrated by having to manage types so much in other languages.

I think that's the majority of people who choose to try to do everything in JS.

Sometimes I wonder if I tainted you by setting you against it before you even dived in.

Then I remember it's javascript I'm talking about here.

One of us! One of us!

No, Pete Hegseth posted a, presumably AI generated, fake Franklin cover where he's firing an RPG at boats from a helicopter. In reference to Trump's boat bombings.

Also the Fangshi were real! The details in the game draw from a lot of sources that western audiences might not be used to. Which is an extra draw imo

Nine Sols also has a deeply engaging story that might feel very fresh for someone not familiar with the Xianxia genre. The slow reveal of context as the game progresses matches how most Soulslikes and Metroidvanias do it these days, but the emotional impact was massive for me.

I think people are still carrying scars from the "how dare you call yourself lesbian while talking about your attraction to women while also occasionally being attracted to men sometimes!" wars.

Unfortunately the term was so heavily policed lots of people don't even want to use it anymore.

They want AI to be so ubiquitous that a subscription to it is seen as a utility on the same level as internet service is. Only it'll cost over twice as much per month at a minimum if you're lucky. Magnitudes more per month for anyone who wants daily use.

100% it's packaged into everything and practically given away to try to get you hooked before they have to raise prices astronomically.

If you thought AirBNB and Uber price jumps were too much years back when they stopped practically giving those services away, you aren't ready for what AI will do.

Oh you have to be top 3k??? I thought you just had to be above 2k and that was it.

??? I got back to S+ with just zones above 2000 last time and nothing else had any points. Maybe it's because I didn't actually try to do any of the others?

I know it's not always what someone wants to hear when they're feeling down like this but I do mean it genuinely!
