I've been trying to use Cursor's AI editor, but it's blocking me - complaining that I am suspicious activity. Not sure what's going on, but the support team at @cursor_ai has failed to respond to a couple of emails for a week now.

Not a good look.

I'm now using Cursor AI. Seems decent for small things. i don't know how to guide it for big things. The design decisions they made on changes to their fork of VSCode are questionable.

Roblox Studio is back at it! Unhandled exceptions are back to being silently ignored. It's super frustrating to have this regression re-introduced. It hides those ever-so-elusive bugs.

The Properties window has recently become unreliable. It will frequently revert to showing no properties for the currently selected item.

For things like seeing tweets pinned by people I follow, I click the button to show less often. It seems to have no effect. What's the point of the "show less often" button?

I've done so little code the past few weeks as I work on designing some core areas of the game. Design takes a ton of work!

Very cool - Roblox Studio now detects cyclic module dependencies and outputs the dependency chain for it. These had been hard to track down.

TIL Roblox added a "ScaleTo" function to models. Wow, finally. I had my own home-cooked version of it that was difficult to develop and was buggy. Happy to see it finally officially supported.

I was not a fan of the book "three body problem". The story is not well constructed. But the Netflix film adaptation of it has been entertaining.

I'm trying to figure out why my Humanoid's model suddenly ends up having no designated PrimaryPart, even though it is parented to workspace and has an HRP that was previously its PrimaryPart. Difficult problem to debug...

I just learned that Roblox Tool objects are auto-picked up by players when they get near them in. That was a super confusing situation where I thought I had screwed something up.

I still haven't found documentation; I only learned about it through other posts.

@MaximumADHD This must be an inside joke - I don't get it

#Roblox Studio bug:

Select a Tool object in the Explorer window in edit mode. Run game. Crash game. Stop play mode, go back to edit mode. Properties window remains stuck on the Tool that was selected, regardless of what's selected.

This kind of syntax always bothered me, and this is a great example of why. I tend to use the explicit if/else block instead.

Had to brush up on some old school calculus to determine client animation behavior to match a dice roll on server. I have forgot so much.

Hey @Roblox, did someone break the Google Analytics script? (153590792)
