Thanks! 💛
I'm Beetroot Paul and sometimes I draw, sometimes I try to do music, and sometimes I create some tiny games.

Heads up, the Lexaloffle terms of use will change later this week to disallow genAI content. The proposed update aims to protect the current BBS culture without excluding usability. Any comments welcome (here or hey at lexaloffle dot com). Draft: pastebin.com/raw/v8cvrdgv

I have to write #cpp from time to time, mainly adding simple backend request handlers. And oh boy, the time I spend there feels like 10x longer than in #TypeScript for a similar amount of logic 😫 OFC a lot of that is company specific, but in general every line is like a dozen of questions to answer.

I should learn by now I have to try again games I didn’t like at first. Hollow Knight, Undertale, Return of the Obra Dinn, all happened to amaze me on the later 2nd try 😄
