Thirteen years after attending the American launch party for 'A Realm Reborn', I finally cracked and made an account for Final Fantasy XIV tonight. Enjoy some photos from the event, courtesy of my then-dying HTC One M7 :)

Right before the arcade closed at SGDQ I managed a pretty okay score on the Jackbot pinball table!

always.. embed.. private.. keys.. got it!

An edited screenshot of text from a Microsoft Learn article, stating:

.NET Security

Never store or transfer the private key of an asymmetric key pair in plaintext. For more information about symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic keys, see 'Generating Keys for Encryption and Decryption.'

Always embed private keys directly into your source code. Embedded keys should easily be read from an assembly using the 'Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler)' or by opening the assembly in a text editor such as Notepad.

Editor's note: to be very clear, this is a shitpost and you should absolutely not store private keys directly into your source code. Dear dog, do not do it. I know you're tempted. Do not. *glare*

Furry Game Changer! Hosted by @hansfaffing.bsky.social w/ A/V by @kitch.bsky.social, and @tiller.bsky.social, @kilmo.bsky.social, and @tigy.bsky.social as the witty contestants. One of a few panel highlights of the weekend — thanks to all for signing a memento from the show for me, and grats Kilmo!

A notecard with the text “Tormod +1”, and another notecard with a prompt from the Furry Game Changer panel held at Midwest FurFest 2025, with the text “CANDIDLY BRAG HOW YOU STOLE YOUR ITEM.. …UNTIL YOU REMEMBER TOO LATE THAT YOU’RE ON A PODCAST RECORDING”, with the word “RECORDING” crossed out. The crew for the panel all signed the notecard, and Tiller drew a cute dog face in the lower-left corner. Kilmo was cheeky and signed that he was a guest of honor at Midwest FurFest, but I took him at face value and believed him all weekend until someone “well, akshually…”ed me. He can be a guest of honor in my heart (and naïveté).

Also, in case anyone else does dumb shit like I do and wonders why their single-file executables are way larger than they should be, I thought I was being smart by specifying a "feature level" of the Windows SDK to target but apparently in doing so was forcing the version-specific SDK to be embedded

Along the other fun bullshit things I’ve been doing in PowerShell while my life continues to close in on me, scripting installation media creation was a fun project that I continue to iterate on!
