I thought I'd give Unreal C++ another go, maybe learn how to make a plugin or something...
... it uh, it derailed REAL HARD.
So I present: "Unreal running in #UnrealEngine5"
'member when internet browsers had status bars? And really cool sites would display constantly scrolling ASCII art like waves and progress bars? And you couldn't turn it off no matter how hard you tried? <blink> twice if you remember.
Whenever I get stressed I do dumb things for relief, this week's comes in the form of the Godot GDExtension interface ported to Pascal.
It's rather delightful being able to compile the whole shebang instantly with just `fpc extension.pas`

@GloriousEggroll Just so many good lines from him... "OI! Pennywise!"
And when Quan Chi says he has other priorities than replacing Kano's eye: "If it's putting on more eyeliner, trust me, you're good."
So, around the same time, I ordered some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut CPU paste -and- separately some silver glue.
Both come in a little syringe tube.
I can't find my silver glue tube.
Well, my CPU temps -look- okay, I guess...
Okay, the "new" YouTube UI has been around long enough now, someone PLEASE fix the fact that keyboard shortcuts for e.g., changing the playback speed don't work on it.
And if the volume magically remembered what level it was set to, that'd be amazing.
The new YouTube player, sigh. The old playback speed key shortcuts don't work, so you click the settings icon, and it opens the menu on the other side of the world.
If you click "more options", selecting any of them closes the menu. And there's no way to go "back"
c'mon
The hardest part of building a new PC is trying to convince yourself that the thermal paste applied fine.
It's fiiiine.
If the temperatures are fine then it's FIIIIINE GOD DAMMIT
Ah Microsoft Access, a product that so many small businesses ran off for decades, despite it having a dedicated "Compact and Repair Database" menu option.
Ever tried just not borking it up in the first place, bud?
It's always fun in movies when people are having an intense game of poker and someone slowly reveals their hand, and -not knowing poker- I have _zero_ idea if it's a good one or not.
I love those "big reveal" moments in different areas that mean absolutely nothing sometimes.
I keep getting A/B tested the new YouTube UI, and every time it flips between new awful and old, the volume goes to 100%.
It's amazing how long it takes to find the new volume slider location when under duress.
@redblobgames I know it's already a labored point, but I also miss being able to quickly differentiate the icons, without having to read the text instead because it's quicker than figuring out what icon in the sea of similarity is the one I want.
