Post-holiday Monday got you down? You're welcome to come decompress in my channel while I point-and-click my way through The House of Da Vinci 3 (and sip on Death Wish coffee at 9PM because I have Tuesdays off, suckas). XD www.twitch.tv/observerherb

TIL about the "null-forgiving operator" in C# and this the funniest thing I've ever read about a programming language.

I haven't played a good classic-style RTS in ages. Seems like the game dev world went all 4X. So when I saw Tempest Rising I said "take my money." This game is amazing! And Michael Markie and company knocked it out of the park with the OST!

No matter how good you get at anything, there will always be someone who'll tell you you're not good enough, someone who'll call you dumb and lazy and frame it as some kind of motivational speech. Don't worry about that person. You keep doin' you.
