I don’t mind the new art direction but it sounds like they’ve done away with most of the actual exploration elements and roleplaying in favor of handholding. Maybe they were just aiming for a younger audience or something?

I think Baulder’s Gate 3 has really ruined a lot of new RPGs for me. 🤷 Thanks a lot Larian for making a game so good it fucked up an entire genre.

But… they’re your words!

🤷

I have a degree in regular informatics and I don’t really know what that even means. 🤷

I’m going full conspiracy theorist and saying that’s a tot-hating bot farm.

Also, I made tots last night and they were amazing.

Yeah, you still have to draw in all those values through lookups or just set the variables manually but if you keep getting a failed send or that shitty 500 error on a cloudpage, the try/catch block prevents it and will actually display the error. Should look something like this:

<script runat=“server”> Platform.Load(“Core”,“1.1.1”); try{ </script>

%%[ your AMPscript block goes here ]%%

<script runat=“server”> }catch(e){ Write(Stringify(e)); } </script>

SFMC is Salesforce’s red headed stepchild. The product has been neglected into the ground and they keep shoehorning random shit into it then neglecting that, too. Ad Studio, Social Studio, and Interaction Studio were all different things they bought and slapped a coat of SF branded paint on then let die. It is such a weird product but EVERYONE has it and it gives me pretty good job security knowing how to make it function about half the time.

Screenshot how many downvotes you get when this all blows over.

Salesforce just gives me the other kind of CTE.

I’m 100% going to try this, but I have a feeling that it isn’t going to work in my application. Salesforce Marketing Cloud uses some pared-down old version of Transact-SQL and about half of the functions you’d expect to work just flat out don’t.

The joys of using a Salesforce product.

Wrap the Ampscript in an ssjs try/catch block and debug all your shit on a cloudpage. ;)

Everyone that works in SFMC for an extended period of time hates SFMC. Or at least has a love hate relationship with it. I think Salesforce is the most worthless company in existence and John Mulaney’s anti-SF rant at Dreamforce brought a little light to my life.

I very rarely actually use Ampscript anymore. Almost everything is done in ssjs in my instance. Thank fuck I’m not consulting anymore and don’t have to deal with other company’s stuff.

I have been really, really enjoying the reworked Wayfinder. The story is ass but the visuals, gameplay and music are all awesome. The characters are likable, the build variety is pretty great, and the devs seem to be pretty in touch with the community lately. I never played it in its MMO state, but for $20 it’s a real win.

I think the 1.0 release comes out in a few days, too!

8/10 Server-side JavaScript

7/10 Ampscript

3/10 SQL

There is something about SQL that I can’t get to click with me. I can run basic queries and aggregation, but I can never get nested queries to work right.

All of these also assume I have access to documentation. Without documentation, all of them are like a 2. 🤷

I think this is my favorite comment I’ve read on Lemmy so far.

Ooo, I’ve already read the first handful of chapters of the manga, so I’m not sure if that covers what is in episode 0. Do you think it would have been a better watch through to have it at the end?

My wife sat down and started watching JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure with me on a whim about half way through part one and she’s a bigger weeb than I am now.

This is a good one that I don’t think ever really got advertised at all. Caught me by surprise.

Pretty much anything by Trigger is going to be worth at least a watch through at least once, usually multiple times.

The League of Legends show, Arcane, is some of the best animation I think I’ve ever seen and season two comes out next month.

FLCL and FLCL Alternative are both amazing, I couldn’t get into Progressive.

Mob Psycho and One Punch Man are wild rides. I think OPM is better, but that’s because I’m bald.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is an absolute hoot if you can see the humor in all the over-explanations and goofiness

I’m about to start Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction tomorrow. I’m going in blind, but I really love Inio Asano’s other works. Goodnight Punpun changed my life, but really, do not read it if you are already depressed.

I keep editing this because I keep remembering stuff.

Frieren is amazing and makes you feel incredibly close to these characters.

Delicious in Dungeon is Trigger, but a different Trigger than something like Kill la Kill or BNA. It’s slower, comfier, and like Frieren, makes you feel SO close to these characters.

That stupid bit drilled less vs fewer into my head for the rest of my life.
