  • In GZSZ the plot really turned bonkers, especially over the years.

    Here are a few bullet points:

    • Introduced gay guy
    • Introduced guy that turns out to be bi
    • Introduce girl so guy can learn he’s bi
    • Have him learn he’s bi through practical experimentation
    • Make him decide for one of them
    • Ignore previous events until plot-convenient

    Another arc that happened over the span of 1 to 2 years:

    • Introduce bad guy for established woman
    • Make woman fall for bad guy
    • Oh oh! Bad guy is cop!
    • OH OH! BAD GUY IS ABUSIVE!
    • Continue abuse until breakup
    • Introduce dad for woman
    • OOOOOH OOOOH! DAD IS ACTUALLY STALKER!
    • Bad somehow redeems himself
    • Bad guy ends up throwing dad in river, woman and other dudes are witness
    • Nobody tells police
    • Dad returns a few episodes later
    • Bad guy loses job as cop because turns out police doesn’t like coverups (unrealistic af)
    • Bad guy now becomes dollar store punisher because somewhere in between all of this gang is introduced
    • Bad guy stops gang
    • OOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOO! THERE’S A CHARACTER WHO DIED AND THE CHARACTER ISN’T DEAD AFTER ALL! WE LEARN THAT THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF DOLLAR STORE MISTER RABBIT KILLING EXTRAS! CHARACTER GOT A CRYPTO WALLET AND MISTER RABBIT WANTS IT BACK!
    • BAD GUY IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY WITH A MULTI-EPISODE TACTICAL ESPIONAGE AND HACKING ARC!








  • I am working on an application using DevExpress XAF. It allows you to build a big enterprise application relatively quick by doing a lot of the dirty work you would otherwise do yourself for CRUD stuff. A lot of the application can be modified through mere clicks without touching a single line of code.

    It is cool but kinda bloaty. When you simply launch an XAF application, it uses 300 megabytes of RAM. And that’s before you even loaded a single byte of business data. You have just reached the login screen.

    At least i felt it was “kinda bloaty” until i first booted Void Linux on my gaming PC at home and took a look at htop. IT’S ONLY 400 MEGABYTES AND IT’S READY TO USE! MAYBE ADD 200 MEGABYTES FOR KDE!

    ALL THIS BLOATING CANNOT CONTINUE! WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY OR WE WILL BE FOREVER DOOMED TO UPGRADE OUR RAM LEST WE DON’T WANT EVEN A FUNCTIONING TEXT EDITOR!
