I went, as usual, to a weekly bar meeting for English speakers, and met a girl who, as it turns out, roleplays on Argent Dawn, has met my character in-game, and we’re on the same Discord. Small world!

A Chaos Archives user reported a problem with account verification, and it led me to finding and fixing a bug that was there since launch: accounts were not flagged as verified if the user verified the character first and the email second.
The cause was just a single missing ! in the server code. Typical, really.
It’s amazing that I found only 34 such accounts in the database. Apparently most people did it the other way round and didn’t hit the bug.
I’m happy to have fixed it.

Scored myself the most expensive card from the Stellar Crown TCG set, an Illustration Rare Squirtle.
That’s an easy $53 (Or upwards of $183 on PSA auction)

I picked up Bear and Breakfast, which is a charming little B&B sim where you play as a bear building up various lodges for humans to stay at while they visit the forest, with my only point of protest being the lack of a free play mode. There are 3 save files and the game has a story but I just want to manage customers and make cute rooms for people to stay in.

I met with my guildmates Reth, Lapsigeth, and Kyrae’na in real life last week, and it was amazing seeing two of them for the first time in person. A few of us went to the zoo, and a maid cafe, and then all of us spent the day at an amusement park where the horrid cretins bribed me to go on a booster. It was the best week of my life and so much fun! Eager to meet up again

I’ve come back to play WoW after a year and I’m really enjoying questing and discovering more of The War Within.

If one teeth is a tooth…

… then doesn’t that means that one sheep should be a shoop?

Just say sheese. 
Despite the 10 years that has passed, it only took a 5 minute call and a total of 3 emails to get it confirmed I can get copies of some educational papers I need to apply for further studies.
They even said they had printed some of them between the first and second e-mail I sent. The lady was quite sweet and friendly too. And sending them outside the country was no problem at all
Here I was excepting having to spend at least 30 mins in a call, and another few days e-mailing back and forth

Two more days before I fly to Italy and do some Scuba Diving, not even the stress of flight can quell excitement!

Used to work in a bakery before I was let go about 3 weeks ago. 
Luckily, however, I was accepted into a Second Hand store instead. Pretty swell, actually. Love me those kinds of stores.

Built a performance venue for a roleplay community on FF14, that other players are welcome to use for their events, and rather positive about how it turned out! Especially when it’s built floating in the air rather than on actual floor…
There’s space to hide behind the red center curtain, and a room on either side of the stage exit where performers may wait for their turn, or move unseen between the stage and the back of the audience seating. Plus a ticket vendor / cloak service booth in the downstairs entrance hall with NPCs.
Had a photoshoot with my partner and a friend stopped by, joining in on the theatrics! Fun times.

Fancy we may evenutally be able to do something similar with housing in midnight and beyond?
Since I have no interest in housing myself I guess I could instead offer up my plot for something public like that.

I’m confident that yes! The biggest placeable room option seems large enough, and it should be possible to add a lot of verticality to the rooms. So one could most likely build spaces like this on WoW as well.
For reference this is the default look of the interior where I built the stage and seating area floating in the air. You can still identify the framework around the inset between the stairs, which I used for framing the red curtains at the back of the stage. Since the stage covers the stairs and makes them unusable, I used furnishing items to create a custom staircase to the back of the seating area.
On WoW, I hope we’ll eventually get a variety of loft and stair furnishings to save up on item slot costs, because the more items you spend on creating unique layouts, the less you have available for detailing. Partitions could be used when rotated to lay horizontal, though it depends on if the collision on them breaks like I saw happening on a Gamescom housing livestream.

Today I coded the first parser in my life!
While I have a lot of programming experience, I have never written parsers before because every file format I needed to use already had a library. Today, however, as part of the TRPSync project (syncing TRP profiles across different WoW installations), I wrote a parser for the TRP profile data format, which is a subset of the Lua programming language that WoW addons are written in.
The code (in Rust) is here:
https://codeberg.org/Linneris/TRPSync/src/branch/main/src-tauri/src/trp_lua
(There’s actually a generic Lua code parser for Rust, but I thought it would be better to write a parser for just the subset I need because it maps cleanly to JSON, than try to get the data I need out of a full Lua syntax tree.)
This is probably going to sound like gibberish to most people. The short version is that I have succeeded at a programming task I never attempted before, and thus passed another important milestone as a programmer.
