@unclejesse.bsky.social Check out the remastered Expedition 33 track. I recall you highlighting some issues with the original set where it got grindy when things got busy but they seemed to have cleared that up. x.com/lorien_testa...
Lorien Testard on X: "Hello Expeditionners, Today we are three months after the release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! I’m happy to announce that pre-orders for the physical editions of the original soundtrack are now open! 🎶🎷 https://t.co/gEaYkW3jNV Thanks to the love and enthusiasm you’ve shared" / X

"I used to think OpenAPI was the best way to define REST APIs. And I bet you think that way, too. After all, OpenAPI has so many benefits that it's easy to ignore its drawbacks—until you feel them, that is."

The Final Fantasy discourse is a huge place.

But one could argue it’s basically populated by five different people.

Yup, that’s what I’m doing today 🎉

I was not familiar with Klobuchar’s game.
The image is a screenshot of a social media post by Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar ). The post reads: "Cheesehead: $25. 2 giant checks: $2 million. Trying to buy a WI Supreme Court seat: $20 million. Watching Elon Musk lose: priceless. Liberal Wins Wisconsin Court Race, Despite Musk’s Millions. Susan Crawford defeated Brad Schimel for a State Supreme Court seat in a race that shattered spending records and maintained a liberal majority on the court."

PSA: if you write v.pow(2f) (also .pow(3f)) on Android, please write v * v instead. pow() is a (relatively) expensive function call that won't get optimized away (yet). On a Pixel 6, pow(2f) is 5x slower than a multiplication. For long expressions, use inline fun square(v: Float) = v * v
