Second week of April

Warning, IT related rant ahead:

So this post should have taken about 5 minutes to write since I have a little PHP tool that generates everything for me I just need to write in the review text and thats it. It took me 3.godamn.hours. Why? Because someone somewhere decided it was a great idea to change something and push an update which then proceed to completely break my server which then caused me to having to reinstall it completely which brought up a whole set of other issues.

If you are responsible for some of the changes between php7 and php8 that broke my code for no good reason: I hate you, I hope you step on a lego.
If you maintain anything on AUR and your stuff is broken and out of date for months/years: I hate you, I hope you step on a lego.
If you maintain anything on AUR and you say “works on Arch, I wont even consider making a tiny tiny change that takes 2 seconds to make it work on Manjaro”: I hate you, I hope you step on a lego.

Ok, now I feel better. I have half arsedly fixed my code so I can post this review. I wonder if this will finally push me to rewrite the whole thing properly and finish it… who am I kidding, it will stay like this forever now, it has been left unfinished for 2 years now.

Completed SG wins

Zombie Shooter
Playtime: 2.1 hours
Achievements: 0 of 0
Review: Do you enjoy old looking top down shooters that are not very good and also very buggy? Then this is the game for you! As for the bugs I found 2 main ones: I got completely stuck on objects too many times (had to restart the level) and the sound itself is completely and utterly busted as the sounds wont actually play like 85% of the time.

Other completed games

Twilight City: Love as a Cure
Playtime: 2.4 hours
Achievements: 0 of 0
Review: This game is tagged as a HOG on Steam so I was very disappointed when it didn't turn out to be your usual normal HOG. Instead it was some weird clicker RPG with a hidden object scene once in a blue moon. And then I got a progress preventing bug (which reading on the forums seems to be a common thing on multiple points through the game)... oh well, I didn't like the game anyways. Doesn't work with proton either (I just get a black screen).

Wow heres to everyone stepping on a lego!
Also yes thats how I felt about twilight city, not really a hog, very repetitive and that ending so abrupt

Yea, I didn’t have a good night last night, stayed up to 1am fixing stuff so I wish many people to step on legos.
I was surprised by all the positive reviews, glad to hear someone else shares my feeling. I never got to see the end, but honestly I don’t even care.

Oh well yeah it was very abrupt, they make you learn every power you can get and thats just it. It felt like our goal of becoming human was a waste of time since we made 0 progress!

Now I did personally enjoy it more then what I expected to but it doesn’t mean it was good

All those poor humans stepping on lego 😱
And all those poor legos getting stepped on 😱
I hope the new week will be better though 🤞

MouseWithBeer

No, they deserve it :D Agreed on the poor legos tho.

The game I have started and plan to finish this week is a decent HOG so far so I got that going for me :) And unless someone decides to push another stupid update there shouldn’t be problems with the tool either.
