I can't wait to see what fresh indie games are coming to Switch for me to enjoy roughly two years after my PC gaming friends stopped talking about them!

"I don't always accept payment in liquid latinum, but when I do, I store it somewhere safe."

Shoot, if running a ceremonial kshell script every Friday evening makes me a ludite, I'll be shouting angrily at the cloud any day now.

/s, obviously, beacuse I already yell angrily at the cloud.

Billy Crystal did kind of outline a prototype Ferengi...

"If they're all dead, there's only one thing you can do - go through their pockets for loose coins."

Yeah!

The actual additions to Klingon lore, and cultrue, I loved.

I just wished I could have seen more of it with better lighting.

(As opposed to the the Kelvin universe, which I wish I could have sen more of with less lens flare. Haha. I'm realizing I might be a lighting snob.)

Yeah.

During the Klingon scenes, I just want someone to rush down the corridor with silly string and water balloons filled with neon shades of paint.

I get it, their Klingon society is feudal, and on the brink of even more war. But they could still try letting some natural light in. If nothing else, their plants will live longer.

Oh gosh, I just got the joke in The Orville about the Klingon-equivalent race being extremely light sensitive. I don't know how I missed that before.

Oh. Haha! That makes me sense.

"Fun N Games" on Sega Genesis includes a really fun art program. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wdhHt4wo9NQ

No, I'm pretty sure their relationship was platonic.

/s - obviously.

Is that huge building finished? I need to be able to move in our developers by January of 1996.

Sir, it's 2023.

Right now?

Yes sir.

So yesterday I was...

Also in 2023 sir.

Well no. That's not how I roll. But do me a favor and look up whether we released something called a "Virtual Boy" in 1995. And someone get me a new Palm Pilot, I need to keep better track of what... day... it is.

I wonder if anyone has told them about digital downloads and moving sourcecode using network cables. If not, I bet they're going to feel really silly moving crates of code up and down freight elevators in their huge meat-space office. /s

Whatever that is, I can probably still trust it and respect it more than the pathetic sniveling murdering worm and LOTR character that it's based on.

"Ow! What did you do that for?! I'm here for an argument."

"Oh! That's two doors back the way you came. This is 'getting hit in the head' lessons!"

True. But I do wish they would have had Avery Brooks talk over the music, to honor tradition.

"Space: The final frontier. These aren't voyages at all, and - I don't understand why Admiral Jellico insists on a log recorded in this format. I have important work that can't wait. Computer, erase this log and send my regrets to Admiral Jellico."

"Belay that order!"

One silver lining is that those of us who deal with brain fog and memory challenges make the best documentation updaters.

It amuses me when folks say "thanks" for my documentation updates.

Yeah, sure, I distilled that guide down to one incredibly clear, hard to mess up guide, for you, my coworkers. I'm all heart! /s

There is actually some evidence that caffeine can help with brain health.

"Am I blithely leaving a path of coding carnage that others are forced to clean up?"

I've never seen any evidence that the programmers I hate cleaning up after have ever, even once asked themselves this question.

Edit: Op is probably fine, and I appreciate everyone who takes the time to introspect on the topic.

Also, it's relevant to realize that there are only two types of code, and anyone capable of producing type two and leaving good commit logs will have their name cursed over and over by future developers:

The two types of code:

1. Partial solutions that no one uses, or even really remembers, after a few months.
2. Horrifying legacy solutions that may yet outlive the developers whose nightmares they haunt.

Sometimes a program in category 1 grows up into a program in category 2, like an eldritch horror caterpillar emerging from it's cocoon as an eldritch horror octopus porcupine.

Edit 2: But hey, I heard AI is going to take care of all the coding soon. So that will be nice.

Yeah. Aquaman was a fun time. I could enjoy that vibe brought to Trek.

GitHub Universe conference was yesterday and today. They talked about providing co-pilot for free to students during one of the talks. So I'm going to guess it's just a mistake.

Maybe they messed something up while they were making a new feature go live.l?
