  • Not sure, but probably. I only used yarn 1. Never got around to trying yarn 2+ as migrating our fairly large monorepo project at the time felt like a pretty large and complicated ordeal. By the time I switched jobs npm was already a whole lot better in the ways most important to me.

    The little I’ve read about and used pnpm so far it seems a lot more plug n play than yarn while bringing big benefits. Even workspaces seems a lot simpler than it ever was with yarn (at least when I used it). Love the idea of non-flat node_modules and simplified lock files as well.

    Time will tell if npm incorporates enough of pnpm’s features to make it obsolete eventually but for now I can understand why it seems so widely adopted.



  • I haven’t played anything regularly in a few years. My board game group is finishing up an Imperial Assault campaign and there’s been talk of maybe doing RPGs next (though lord knows I have no shortage of board games that I have bought but not yet played). Would love to run Blades in the Dark, Mothership or maybe something OSR. I think all those could be good fits for our group.



  • Then teach us. Advocate for us. Help us improve and understand.

    A very large part of the problem is that the people who are knowledgeable are often the ones that bought into the whole lone wolf coder shtick.

    Most junior people I work with are interested and want to learn, but between high demands, no time to do it and senior devs who focus only on their own problems - it’s very hard to know how to learn and improve.

    We can and need to solve this but it requires that we work together and actually sit down to bridge the knowledge gap.

    It will be all right. I have been in a similar and made it out fine. Take a deep breath, step back and try to look at the big picture.

    1. What are the immediate problems? How big are they really (what is the worst that could feasibly happen, is it really as bad as you think it is, vocalize them)? Filter out the things that aren’t actually a big deal, prioritize the rest and work on them one at a time. No more, no less.

    2. Make it a priority to get yourself a diagnosis and a treatment plan. If your current psychiatrist won’t help you, look for another one.

    3. Don’t worry about the big picture stuff right now. You’re not in the right headspace to make any big decisions. If you can put your studies on pause I would advice you to do so until things have calmed down. Make sure you have something going on though that keeps you active and occupied without being stressful or taking over.




  • Still playing Slay The Spire and Hexcells as my “podcast games”.

    Started Halls of Torment. Really cool aesthetically and some interesting boss designs. Hope it distinguishes itself more from Vampire Survivors though. Especially in having more incentives to keep playing than “numbers go up”. There are some minor story things and unique aspects of some maps that I think could really set this game apart.

    Also playing Super Mario Sunshine. Honestly probably my least favorite 3D Mario to date. Besides feeling very clumsy it has some pretty sloppy level design here and there. Still a decent game, but having played Odyssey this game feels very dated.






  • What I’m saying is that unlike other PCs the steam deck has very few varying factors (out of the box). Meaning, if it works for others, it is likely it could work for you.

    I’m not saying anything or anyone is infallible. In fact, I just had a look at proton DB and there are certainly plenty other people with similar problems.

    These are good news because Larian has a reputation for supporting and improving their games long after release. These kinks will get ironed out.

    And again, if you don’t wish to be an early adopter (which is completely fine), refund it.
