Veez

Fellas I feel compelled to share that I became a dad recently
 
My boy is doing great and it has been awesome bar the tummy ache nights where me and my wife get literally 0 hours of sleep

I spent 3-4 months working on a feature that would only be "useful" for a total of 2 months maximum of the app's entire lifetime instead of some more crucial features that needed to be fixed or added because someone somewhere higher in the chain is significantly more concerned about the initial "optics" of their apps rather than the core features because those can be updated in the future.
 
Yes,  they can make some questionable decisions sometimes.

I had a horrifying feeling that when I opened this website today that I was going to see something like this in my notification tab.

Trust me, sometimes I'd like to have some words with the Outlook team as well, because they broke it so bad for me at one point that I had to use the web browser version for a month or so until the issue resolved itself.
 
Surprisingly (or not surprisingly), I've had very little cross Microsoft communication. I think the external team I've talked to most is the one working on the sidebar in Edge browser.

Power metal bands are Finland's second greatest contribution to the world.

We all know the first, of course
 
 

I was wondering which of those two answers you were gonna toss at me, but you went with both lol.

I am a developer for Microsoft Teams because I sold my soul for a paycheck a long time ago.

The correct way to dismiss things is to say that they glow in the dark.

This virus fucking sucks.

CAN'T BUY YOUR WAY OUTTA THIS ONE, MERCHANTS
 

Almost exactly a year later.

I was going to say that I'd accept it at this stage of the meme.

But then I saw it didn't end with half a second of a firetruck.

As someone who has been admining a league for a left 4 ded game, Left 4 Dead 2, it's sad that I was able to make a breakthrough that people have wished for for 10 years so late in its life cycle.
 
For the last 14 years, people operated under the assumption that you couldn't create custom ladders using a tool called "Stripper:Source", a serverside plugin that allows for the modification of props and entities on source game maps without actually editing the maps themselves in hammer (like for say, adding a barricade in the middle of dust2, Dustbowl, or adding a new weapon spawn to No Mercy). Ladders are most integral to Left 4 Dead 2 of any source game as its the Special Infecteds' main source of vertical movement in versus mode, and people just thought ladders were impossible to create using Stripper. I saw someone else found out a super omega convoluted way to create custom ladders using l4d2's vscript system, but that was unfeasible and wouldn't work on dedicated servers, making it useless. 
 
However, it inspired me to look into making custom ladders using Stripper, which is something that years of threads have said "it's not possible".
 
As a meme, I did map edits to a custom campaign called Left 4 Mario to add some extra blocks in versus mode. While looking through its entire list of entities I noticed that the ladders themselves are entities, but I didn't pay much mind to them, as their model names were "*number" (with "number" being a number starting from 1 and going up to the entity number it is). I found that one of the blocks on left mario had a model name of "*78", so I tried creating a new prop with the filepath of just "*78" and it worked. A week later, I saw that guy I mentioned earlier say that you could potentially get custom ladders using Stripper, so I tried my hand at it.
 
It took me 10 minutes and I made a custom ladder. The convoluted thing with them is that there's no documentation on the func_simpleladder entity on the valve developer wiki, and that you can only clone ladders that exist within a map, much like how I did with those blocks on Left 4 Mario. The other caveat is that their "origin" is not the true map origin, but rather how many units away from the original ladder the cloned ladder should be.
 
It's such a shame that I only found this out within the last two months, since it's something that would've been a HUGE help to the competitive left 4 dead 2 scene, and now it's going to be largely underused. It also goes to show that you shouldn't just listen to people online if they say something isn't possible.

I just found out that one of the people I sit directly next to in one of my classes is a famous Runescape player also known for being a massive asshole and is currently causing drama in classroom chats for no particular reason.  I am now currently questioning my perspective skills since I'm apparently the one person who didn't know about this guy in the building.

Bullshit, I panned you when you were running away invisible, ya motherfucker.
You're lucky that I don't have any physical proof of this.

eh
