I was today years old when I learned phones can read QR codes backwards. 🤯

This Saturday I'll be running my 7th annual 24 hour birthday stream! This year, you'll see Risk of Rain 2 Eclipse runs, Noita, Crypt of the NecroDancer deathless, and a blind run of Tunic!

It all starts Sat 6/10 11 AM Pacific time. Cya there! https://twitch.tv/roncli

Just found out I broke XIVAPI.js for web users. Oops, sorry about that. Their use case was using it on the client side, mine is server side, so I didn't catch it!

I'm concerned for this app's developer.

"CEO Satya Nadella cited economic conditions and an investment in artificial intelligence as he informed employees about the change."

If I had ever thought about working at Microsoft, I would no longer have those thoughts. Big tech clearly is not interested in taking care of its workers.

Increased my #Tetris PB by 98K today. That max out is coming. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1816043850

I think this is a great idea. In fact, I'm going to go mint a coin right now to pay off my house. </s> https://www.yahoo.com/news/1-trillion-platinum-coin-could-100000669.html

I am torn between "fuck off AI" and the prospect that my #spreadsheets might be so reflective of my strange thinking that I might single-handedly avert the #AIApocalypse by letting it try.

"Hi Ron - Good Morning"

😞

Me: Wild West in Pinball FX is a shitty table.

Also me:

Just got an email out of the blue from the composer of the Kromaia OST, and now I want to go back and 100% that game.

I was expecting a surprise appearance on the Picard finale, and I was not disappointed. I really hope that goes somewhere!

Basketball rolls into your yard? Yeah, just keep shooting. Old, young, doesn't matter, just shoot.

Sometimes I really, really hate the people in this country.

Honestly, I half-expected a poop emoji.

Actually it's by 2 episodes, because I can't count. 🤣

God dammit, I'm letting my Trekkie show.

Sorry, but Tuvok beat Sidney by literally one episode.

Boy gets shot for accidentally going to the wrong address to pick up his brother.

Girl gets shot when the car she's in accidentally pulls into the wrong driveway.

Two girls get shot when one of them accidentally enters the wrong car.

But guns aren't the problem.

Sometimes I really hate the people in this country.

I'm being told this is only the second quad dev in OTL history. PuDLeZ has the first against Invidia.

From the AIM side, my teammate watching the carnage! https://clips.twitch.tv/EndearingMuddySashimiAMPEnergy-UdK4LD2CSpVDPoxv

Sad I wasn't streaming it, but I got my first quadruple devastator kill in the OTL! https://clips.twitch.tv/CrackyAgreeableTruffleSMOrc-wVWRb00ShqPHj07m

The rings seem to cap! Maybe at 7, maybe at 8, need more necroscience to find out. I realized this on Death Metal when his score wasn't increasing over 1000x the skeleton's scores with each consecutive hit, and then noticed the ramp combos were maxing out somewhere just north of 100 million.

So maybe the strat is going to go back to getting hearts up to 5 and then stacking rings up to 8?

I'm also still not sure when to use bombs.

Oh great, now Microsoft is inserting dad jokes into Windows.

I recommend stacking rings now instead of hearts! Rings are overpowered for scoring, if you can get 4 or more you're going to wreck some serious shit.

Confession: I use the smile emoji all the time at work when I feel like doing anything but smiling.

My recommended zone order is 4, 5, 2, 3, 1. Recommended buy order is titanium sword for 7 diamonds, and after that all hearts for 15.

I didn't expect to like Crypt of the NecroDancer pinball as much as I do. I got three different billion+ scores in the first 24 hours of the game's launch.

It's a very unique table, I recommend reading the table ruleset included with the table after your first playthrough.

You can also play it and all the other Pinball FX for free for 24 hours after downloading and running it for the first time.

It takes me about 3 months after changing my password at work before I get it right the first try.

Of course, every 3 months we're forced to change our passwords.

there's a word that describes the feeling I get from assessing a problem, coming up with an algorithm, writing the code, then running it and having everything work as expected first try

that word is "suspicion"

@warriorbob Did you notice?
You've lost your silent 9 on the way over from That Bird Hell Site to here!

Fuck you, and learn chess.

Nice April Fools' joke my body played on me today, giving me a double charlie horse at 3 AM.

I'm going to tag this with #airporthell with as much shit as airports and airplanes put your legs through.

Well the second leg was 100% miserable due to a family behind me who insisted on their kid sitting on their lap, and completely not caring how often and how hard they kicked my seat. #airporthell

I got rebooked to an earlier arrival which is good, but that means three flights instead of two, the latter two being zone C, which means two miserable Southwest flights. #airporthell

Well at least #southwest was kind enough to cancel the second leg of my flight before I even got to the airport. Fuckers. #airporthell

I just had to log in to a remote server to fix an error, make a code change to upgrade the discord.js library on that server, reinstall npm packages, copy files into a production web site (otl.gg if you're wondering), and restart IIS. All on a mobile device in a location with terrible reception (NAS Pensacola).

Amazing what you can accomplish with technology these days.

That's a really weird fetish, Denny's.

On the upside, the middle seat is 400 pounds lighter than last flight.

Somehow got to Dallas on time. Now I'm on a flight that has the possibility of a dog running loose. Seriously, I've never seen a non-service pet outside a carrier on a plane before. #airporthell
