Managed to improve an issue with a script at work that reduced the execution time from 50-60 minutes to less than 2 minutes. A whopping 97% reduction! Guess whoever wrote this didn't anticipate the multiplicative nature of reading hundreds of lines in a file per file being validated.

I wanted to make a funny command for a streamer I mod for, so I spun up a Java spring boot app and deployed it to the Google cloud. The app contains logic for a !roulette command, but the odds are rigged: twitch chatters have a 1% fail rate while youtube chatters have a 90%. Fail = 10 min timeout

At a Poppy concert and a lady noticed my iron mouse shirt. The only indication it is an ironmouse shirt is the little mouse poking out of my shirt pocket.
Pog.

Went to a party at 3 p.m. and took a 3 hour nap on the couch.
I will never emotionally recover from this.

Buddy told the gang he doesn't know why he got a 7-day suspension in League of Legends. We checked his match history, and he went 25 deaths in a 35-minute ranked game and 21 deaths in a 28-minute ranked match.
The group chat pulled up the VOD, and the voice chat is exploding in emotion.

Solo night dire marsh has been a blast. It's still early season so the average person is rocking a green which gets one tapped by a rail gun.
I have upset a many runners over placing a bolt into their cranium while they are locked into the activating network tower animation.

Marathon really has its hooks into me. If the PvP and gunplay weren't 💯, I would have probably bounced before reaching triple-digit hours.
But maaaaan gimme a way to learn the Cry Archive map without having to burn gear 😭😭😭😭

Got a random mini side-quest from dad.

He works with someone who beat him at a words-per-minute test, and he asked if I could race him.

Suffice to say I smoked 'em and restored my dad's honor 🫡
