I worked for years in a hospital (ER/OR). Then I became a lawyer. Now I’m a software developer.

I can’t watch network television.

kinda hurts to make a post asking for donations and get literally a single boost from my girlfriend, and not only no donations, but no views at all on my ko-fi page. it's literally more compelling to harass people online than to be disabled

With the rise of self-driving vehicles, it's only a matter of time before we get a country song where a guy's truck leaves him too.

Trying to figure out whether "A Short Hike" is in Night in the Woods continuity because there's a character who's clearly Bea or if it's in Celeste continuity because they're both set in Canadian provincial parks

@aran there is an element of abstract thought this puzzle demands that i don't think the game clues quite well enough; it hints that there is some connection between the two passcodes and the antagonist's thoughts/motivations, but not to the alphanumeric cipher

i don't know what the finished translation patch goes with but i do remember offering some suggestions hinting a bit more explicitly at the passcode being a cipher

@aran more recently, i got asked for some assistance with an FDS adventure game called Dead Zone

the game's final puzzle is a doozy; it involves figuring out that the (wrong) passcode you've been given is an alphanumeric cipher for one word, and determining that the RIGHT passcode is a different word encoded into an alphanumeric cipher (mercifully, despite the game being in Japanese, the cipher and both words are in English!)

@aran thinking again about some of my adventures in fan translation

there's a bit in Breath of Fire 2 where the game tries to clue you towards finding a guy so you can take his place in a tournament

i gave my WIP to a friend to test, and he got stuck at that part, because the hint was too broad - you're told about the guy, but you're not given enough context to intuit why that information is important

i fixed it with a simple addition to the tune of "if you're not him, you're not getting in!"

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.

This was a clue and we just didn't listen.
