  • Undertale for sure. (I’m a long time gamer, and I consider this in my top 5 games now)

    It has such a slow start, and meh graphics going into it. It took me 3 separate years trying to get into it, but once I got past the first 2 hours, man did the humour, characters and music blow me away.

    If you’re worried you won’t get into it:

    • The graphics start out rough to make the better graphics later on really stand out
    • The slow start is actually them setting things up a whole bunch of things that pay off later, stick with it. (Also since the game is only 7 hours and there are multiple endings, you will replay it to get the other endings and notice just how much content is hidden at the start that you didn’t understand the first time playing it).

    I’m so glad I came back and stuck with it.

    I was just trying to clear something out of my library and ended up with the most powerful gaming attachment I’ve had in over a decade.

  • It depends what you need your configuration file to be:

    Need a well defined easy to understand concrete configuration file?

    • Use .toml. It was made to be both human and computer friendly while taking special attention to avoid the pitfalls commonly found in other configuration files by explicitly stating expected types around commonly confused areas.

    Need a simple to implement configuration file?

    • Use .json. It’s famous for being so simple it’s creator “discoverer” could define it on a business card.

    Need an abstract configuration file for more complicated setups?

    • Use .ncl. Nickle allows you to define functions so that you can generate/compute the correct configuration by changing a few variables/flags.
