This week has been both incredibly busy, but also frustrating vague on things I can share. It doesn’t help that I’ve had a cold kicking my ass for the last few days.1 The fact that spring is here, kicking my seasonal allergies into overdrive isn’t great either.

I made progress on learning Rust. I can easily see scenarios where using this will be very helpful, although I don’t expect it to replace Python as my go-to language anytime soon. I’m incredibly productive in Python, but I suspect I’ll start defaulting to Rust for when I see memory/performance bottlenecks, or when I want to generate binaries that don’t require a runtime. It’s much friendlier than C, and the safety features are really nice.

I’ve been re-reading Monstress, which I cannot recommend highly enough. Amazing world building, characters, and story. And the art is beautiful

In Explorers Wanted news, we released episode 116, Different Destinations.
The crew attempts to make a plan to deal with the array of issues before them, and makes unpleasant discoveries.
-
I finally got around to watching Nobody, which was incredibly meh despite the novelty of seeing Bob Odenkirk as an action hero.
-
Speaking of meh films, we also tried watching The Adam Project which contrary to reviews turned out to be a real stinker that we couldn’t finish. The outstanding cast was trying their best, but none of them could salvage the terrible script.
-
On a more positive note,we watched the first episode of Moon Knight, which is off to a really promising start.
-
I was also utterly consumed by playing Inscryption, a deck-building/escape room horror game I found incredibly innovative and compelling. So much so that last night I finished my second play through.
That’s it for this week! Take care of yourselves, and don’t let the bastards grind you down.

COVID-19 test is negative, so it’s garden variety. ↩
