I watched Longlegs last week and I’m STILL thinking about it. What a film.

On god. I bought four god damn copies of it and it still wasn’t enough.

The founder literally started it because he found it difficult to rent out his vacation home. Fuck him and his vacation home.

It literally happens every Olympics and people lose their mind every time. Same with “funny shooting stance” memes.

For real, friends in discord were aghast at this, and I’m thinking “bro I’ve heard you tell your kids to shut the fuck up.”

Both. It allowed/forced me to explicitly handle edge cases I wasn’t thinking about. That means the error doesn’t happen at run time, but at compile time (or while writing!) so technically speaking the errors didn’t go away, they moved to in my face rather than “maybe in the future.”

Most of the time the remedy was to explicitly catch whatever happened and nicely explain what happened, vs looking at empty production logs because logging is turned down.

It’s certainly a preference, but for me, I’d rather argue with the compiler all day long and push a bulletproof release than quickly ship something I thought was good and be embarrassed.

Anecdotally I converted a python app to rust and suddenly had no more runtime errors. It’s utter bliss.

Redmane Freyja and Sir Ansbach. You bring a letter to Freyja from Ansbach who elaborates some. You also bring a scroll about the ritual to Ansbach who lays it all out quite clear. The dialogue is all on fextralife so you don’t have to replay the entire DLC

In Messmer’s castle, I think most of the NPCs as well as notes you pick up refer to both of the two required vanilla bosses’ corpses being moved or otherwise manipulated. They also talk about a ritual, I believe one NPC even connecting the dots for the player and saying explicitly what the ritual is for and that the corpse is for the ritual. It’s the most coherent and opaque FromSoft lore has ever been.

Whether it’s GOOD that that’s the boss is up for debate, I certainly don’t agree. But it isn’t an arbitrary decision.

He has to be dead to fulfill the role he plays?? Did you even play the DLC? They tell you this over and over.

It’s similarly bad on the west coast of Florida, south of Fort Myers. The massive Estero Bay is just on the edge of a huge population, and mercifully most of the mangroves between land and the water are protected, but all of the water access is privately owned either by hotels or golf club communities. Your average joe has to drive 30 minutes to the next closest boat launch and pay $40 minimum, or has an hour ride down the Estero river out to the bay or the Gulf.

I just don’t understand how they let this happen. I mean, I do.
