  1. I've been taking this online introductory programming course (Python-based) since mid-January. Started out well enough, but the last month or so it's been damn near impossible to keep up with. And I still have a homework assignment due tomorrow at midnight that I haven't the slightest clue how to code with. Dunno if I'm just dumb, or the lessons are sloppy/half-assed instruction. Maybe both.

    Only two weeks left. Maybe I can still pass. But even if I do, I don't think I'm cut out to be a programmer in the long run.

  2. I've noticed over the past decade that Polish game developers seem to have a thing for intertwining traditional Japanese cultural aesthetics with cyberpunk. I've seen it in Shadow Warrior 2, Ruiner, and...well, Cyberpunk 2077.

    Japanese game devs (particularly Capcom) on the other hand appear to have a long-standing tradition of adopting Western aesthetics and restructuring/fine-tuning them to their own tastes. This seems especially evident in Biohazard/Resident Evil 4, as well as Village (which I haven't played yet).

    It went downhill as soon as communism was mentioned. So all that talk will Be henceforth be moved to the Marxist thought thread. 
     

    So back on topic…

    Putin's army is stumbling in Ukraine. Did the West get Russia's war machine wrong?

    More evidence suggesting widespread disarray in their operations

    "I tell you, even Chechnya wasn't this f-ing bad. This is so FUBAR. Let me tell you, we've got bombed by our own plane. I don't even f-ing know. This is a f-ing circus, not a military operation."

    But again, this doesn't mean we can rest easy. It's been said that Putin has no plan for this whole thing. But if he gets backed into a corner, we can't rule him out resorting to chemical or nuclear warfare.

    A coup in Moscow sure would be nice right now though.
