Cake day: March 8th, 2024

  • I started disliking the monastery pretty much immediately. And when I realized I accidentally started a new day with actions still left to spend, I put the game down and never picked it back up. (Not entirely the game’s fault, I have a really bad habit of losing interest and was in the middle of moving at the time. Fates also lost me when the castle stuff started feeling like a chore.) I had no such issues with Engage.

    One of these days I’m going to have to buckle down and really give 3H another try. Especially because it seems like the sequel is the only FE we’ll be getting for quite some time.


















  • I’ve done some seriously stupid shit in excel, mostly due to it being the only tool I had. By the time I handed the project off to someone else for maintenance/feature creep, there were VLOOKUP ranges spanning dozens of columns. VLOOKUP doesn’t care what column the target is named, only the offset from the beginning of the range. So being able to calculate CA minus W is pretty handy.

    Yes, the project should have been a database. But these things happen when skinflint company meets annoyed amateur: you get a sprawling VBA abomination that, despite making actual developers want to choke a bitch, still works orders of magnitude better than the previous system.
