When you get an email from a website/service you use and it starts with "We have good news..." you know your screwed.

I got a new attorney for my company dealings in NZ, he asked what the game was I was working on so I sent him a Steam key. He then played all weekend and sent me a list of bugs and feedback. I assume I wasn't billed $300 an hour for this.

I really like @fastmail but it really needs a fuzzy search. I often kind-of know what I'm looking for and often people who I don't remember exactly what their name is.

I spend a lot of time in the command line, but I've never got used to using Git there beyond simple stuff. It's frustrating to jump back to a GUI app. Lazygit is a wonderful alternative. A GUI in the command line. I first discovered it many year ago, but never really used it. I took a deep dive this weekend on learning lazygit.

Guess what I've been working on this weekend.

500 builds to testing. Another pointless round number milestone.

A little insulted that people think I haven't seen Voyager before. This will be my 3rd time from beginning to end, 4th for DS. I stopped counting for Next Gen.

I started watch Star Trek Next Gen again, one episode a night. Then I started watching Deep Space Nine at the exact place in Next Gen it started, now I need to start watching Voyager at the point in Deep Space Nine it started. I have about season left of Deep Space Nine. For the record, I hate the Borg and I skipped all the Next Gen Borg episodes. It's like they never happened. Not sure what to do when Seven of Nine shows up in Voyager.

Here is the SCUMM code. Not sure I'd call that a coding error. The lines were just cut. But what do I know.

enter {

said-hot-monkey-line = true

There is now a rich capitalists compound protected by moot in Death by Scrolling. They have a ranged weapon call "greed" that takes gold from you. If you manage to kill them they drop 1000 gold bags.

I can't figure out how you organize a million person protest. When I have a party maybe 3 people show up. And I have chips and dip.

I'm outside the US so I can't participate in the protests, but what I can do is add a new enemy to Death by Scrolling.

Had an odd problem with Steam. I added 3 new achievements yesterday and I kept getting errors when the game tried to get their status. Steam kept erroring with the achievements needed to be set up in the store, which they were. Turns out the Steam App on my desktop needed updating and then everything worked fine. Strange they are connected. Just a warning, if things aren't working, force an update on the desktop.
