Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

Happened upon a new level of incompetence from Squenix devs:
The Dragon Quest X launcher's webview identifies with a User-Agent of "User-Agent: SQEXAuthor/2.0.0(Windows 6.2; ja-jp; 4c2c0069c2)"
They repeated the header name in the header body......

Made a github repo for my DQX launcher, aiming for a 1.0 this weekend! Just gotta clean up the UI and build a fun lil coroutine-driven login system 😌

Progress on my DQX launcher, it's built with WinUI in C# and it can't yet launch the game (I need to implement the funny stuff they do to generate the SessionID from the Auth response) and it looks like dookie but it's starting to take shape

A week ago I was heavily relying on an asm cheat sheet and reading every line to add comments, today I kinda just skimmed through stuff in IDA and went "yeah I get the gist of it" so I think the skills are coming back

So I figured out how the Dragon Quest -StartupToken works and… it's just `sprintf("%d%u", timeGetTime(), mt_rand())` XOR'd with "SqEx"[i & 3]
Since they seed MT with the HWRNG, I'm betting they ignore the entire %u section when validating

Playing Dragon Quest X somehow gave me an excuse to properly learn reverse engineering just to make the English patch tools better
It deserves something on par with Dalamud

Made a small utility for making a temp directory or file on top of @chronicles.org's amazing Symbol.dispose API!
Just `using file = temporaryDirectory()`, returns a string, directory gets released at the end of the block.
