Ham VockeThis has got to be the wildest "back in my days" blog post I've ever written.
Now that that one's published I'll go back to tell those lousy children to get off my lawn 👴

Shining Force III Scenario 2 Retrospective English Translation
This is a wonderful video about Final Fantasy VIII - a game that has many flaws, and yet, it's one that's special to me, and one that does deserve much more love (and a full remake). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHVbSF-eliM
The Final Fantasy VIII Retrospective
Kirill OsenkovFinally had time over the holidays to realize a long-standing dream of mine: a hex editor that knows about the PE file and .NET metadata format. You can click any byte and it will show you which data structure it is in the tree. Every byte is covered.
The parser is at https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/MetadataTools/tree/main/src/PETree
If you feel unhappy about your Christmas gifts, remember that there are children in Chicago that got gifted tickets to the Seahawks-Bears game by Santa.
Stefan EissingOn my „Keep It Simple“ aversion:
POSIX time, generally described as „Seconds since 1970-01-01“ is not really that. Time is a very messy thing by itself (you need magic to make GPS work) and dates do not make it easier.
The POSIX EPOCH *makes* something very complex seemingly simple to use. It‘s a good design with careful tradeoffs by very smart people.
Time cannot be *kept simple*.
That said: They do deserve ALL THE HATE for yet another launcher (UPlay/Ubisoft Connect) and for shutting down The Crew servers.
Sometimes, "more of the same" can be the perfect thing to satisfy one's desires, rather than "Same name, completely different and worse game" (looking at you, Paper Mario series). And if you have GamePass / Playstation Plus / Ubisoft+, you don't have to shell out $70+ for each new entry, so that's also a point in their favor. I am personally satisfied for the time being, but as said, I think Ubi is a bit overhated for saturating the market too much rather than for making bad games.
