Oh wow, @noahgervais.bsky.social just dropped another monster essay on the Pillars of Eternity series. Whelp, I know how I will be spending a good portion of my time today /tomorrow 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmas...

The mango's gestapo murdered another person this morning 😟
100% can confirm, guys with cute cat noses can be mighty attractive! 😅 #pathfinder #wrathoftherighteous #games #crpg
So, one of the things I like to do is toy around with various new tech in Linux. One of the newer, less known features are the new scheduler extensions (i.e., SCHED_EXT). They allow you to replace the CPU scheduler with another one entirely during runtime. 1/4 #linux #sched_ext #linux_gaming
So, finally managed to beat @larianstudios.com's #DivinityOriginalSin2 today. Went with a good(?) ending 😅 At least it made sense as to what I discussed between my character and Ifan. Also, found this little hidden homage to #DarkSouls' bonfires tucked away in a hidden alcove 😄
More progress on rqlite. Some basic "oops" detection, as well as a meta command for data sizes for sanity checks 😅 #rust #softwaredev #programming
Re-ran across a video by @runevision.bsky.social on Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering. I enjoyed re-watching the video and definitely recommend it if you like learning about shaders or ever thought about how you could re-create a look similar to Return of the Obra Din. youtu.be/HPqGaIMVuLs

I've been working on a revamp of my personal site, and I wanted to introduce some simple routing to go between pages for about, projects, skills, etc. Well, react router has become much more of a pain to work with than I remember. So, I made my own from scratch 😅 #software #sometimes-library-bad
Day 10 of #AdventOfCode was fun. The approach wasn't too bad: a tree search. The hard part, don't just find -a- match, find the -shortest- match. So we not only had to find it, but cast the search net wide & possibly deep in order to find it... Yay for potential combinatorial explosions! 😅
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.
Advent of Code has been interesting. Learning about new libs that I can use to solve the various challenges (e.g., nom, and itertools). I would say the hardest part has been figuring out reasonable ways to mutate data without angering the borrow checker and what tools to use to get there safely 😅
this week has been WILD... the ongoing insanity has the popcorn-o-meter at FULL-TILT😅
Minas Tirith on a dark day before the inevitable siege by Mordor. #LotRO #Gaming #LordOfTheRings #MMORPG
been doing some old #AdventOfCode exercises lately. I'm glad sum types and crates like [nom](crates.io/crates/nom) exist, as they not only help make the data ingestion easier, but also make some of the parsing-based challenges a little more sane to work. #Rust #Software #Programming
Enjoying some time in middle earth while passing through Imladris
Re-discovered a fantastic mystery thriller show called "The Head" ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hea... ) #tv #mystery #thriller and have been re-watching it. Still a fun watch even though I know whodunit.
