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. ↩︎
