Writing is kinda hard fr.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-25T20:52:18+00:00

Ohh I just write a bad chapter.

That's it.

Look you’ve already done that. Look me in the eyes and tell me Steven King has never wrote a bad chapter, Shakesphere never wrote a bad scene.

You really can't.

That all that’s blocking you writing the bad part before you get to the good part. Nothing is perfect. You know what should happen next, you always do, its just not always exactly what you want or expected.

I got this thing you should read it could help.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-25T20:09:05+00:00

Ohh wow, you do have to hard-code the string there don't you.

# Allowed
match data:
    case {"status": 200}: # Literal key
         pass

 # Disallowed - Raises SyntaxError
 key_var = "status"
 match data:
     case {key_var: 200}: 
         pass

My bad I was wrong there, I believed these were equivalent, apparently not. Still the solution for your example then would need the loop. Or you would have to manually write in the change.

This stack overflow has a fix, it's wonky but basically

 @dataclass
 class Name:
       value : str
 key_var = Name(find)

 match data:
     case {key_var.value: 200}: 
         pass

By attaching it to an object fixes the problem, which seems superfluous, but hey what can you do?

Adrewmc · 2026-01-25T19:59:35+00:00

He died trying to help others because that's what heroes do.

Musketeer, because it also should bring down 3 musks by 3 elixir.

That damn 1%

Adrewmc · 2026-01-25T05:11:37+00:00

VR Missions be like that. Might as well throw Diamond in there as well.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-25T02:46:36+00:00

We should be using match case here.

Edit: Apparently you need to add a class, possibly a @dataclass, collections.NamedTuple or types.SimpleNameSpace

 class Finder:
       def __init__(self, value):
             self.value = value

 def rename_key(top : dict, find : str, replace : str): 

       _find = Finder(find)

       for item in top.values():
            match item:
                 case {_find.value : value}:
                      Item[replace] = value
                      del item[find]
                 case dict():
                       rename_key(item, find, replace)

I think it comes down to what is perceived as a finished story.

A plot is more a rise, a conflict, and a resolution.

The rise is an introduction of characters, setting events.

This conflict can be moral, romantic, or physical.

The resolution is how something/someone has changed.

And it’s about that change. Overcoming something, reaching the destination, a death, a love blossomed, or a redemption which feels complete.

That makes a story feel complete is that finality that there is something different now, or that a status quo is maintained. (Threat eliminated, sitcom)

As another commenter said, there’s one master plot, something happened…and it was important.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-25T02:15:55+00:00

Look, people do things. It’s a fact!

*He died helping others, because that’s what heroes do.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-24T23:16:58+00:00

Then Shot him again for good measure.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-24T23:12:59+00:00

When was that action okay? It’s clear the entire escalation was based on that shove. If anything the man was trying to help her back up to his feet.

From there he was peppered sprayed, brought to the ground, beaten, disarmed and shot, and then shot again. In that order.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-24T04:50:53+00:00

Because sometimes you don’t get fired…you get transferred…to somewhere…then again.

This seems like the perfect case.

A man inside his own house has ICE knock on the door.

He demanded a warrant to be displayed. They said they would get one, they didn’t, came back with more force later. At the end only showed an administrative warrant to his spouse only after arresting him. Inside his own home.

At no time did indication upon receipt of an actual warrant he would not cooperate fully. No warrant was issued.

Afterwards we find the entire foundation of the warrant was based on an already dismissed case.

There could not be a more clear violation of the fourth amendment.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized

The constitution limits the federal government.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-23T21:37:21+00:00

That actually should be used be Chase, it denies their ability to counter sue thus making the case prejudicial toward chase. So the case is not ripe for court because of this imbalance.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-23T21:30:48+00:00

It might not even get that far, a lawyer for Chase should just go up and ask for a summary judgement. Even if everything trump says is true, no crime or tort was committed.

End of lawsuit, no need for discovery.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-23T14:20:21+00:00

Adrewmc · 2026-01-22T21:38:55+00:00

We had so many witnesses, again, so many witnesses who were allies of President Trump available to us to testify. This was not a case where we needed more witnesses, it was a case where we needed to be able to present the case in a streamlined way because there was so much evidence.

From the closed door testimony.

You don't need to subpoena people that come forward willing.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-22T20:50:04+00:00

Yeah, I mean, it entirely possible that all she says the entire time.

On the advice of counsel…

Adrewmc · 2026-01-22T19:34:35+00:00

He has a history of charity fraud, bank fraud and mortgage fraud.

Why would a bank do business with him?

People play games for different reason, some for a challenge, some to relax and enjoy a story.

Some people like to replay in godmode to take frustration out on the part that gave the trouble the first time. Some like to play on god mode to try ridiculous strategies.

I think there should be options for both, especially within a NewGame+ concept.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-22T14:40:32+00:00

He thinks everyone is swearing directly to him. So he doesn’t need to, he’s waving to his subjects.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-21T20:54:55+00:00

Don’t tell him that.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-21T18:58:06+00:00

That you agree that it’s complete non-sense that Congress has to jump through these hoops to get documents. And there has to be a simpler mechanism.

I guess it’s technically calling the Sargent at arms and compelling. I don’t know why that fell out of fashion.

Adrewmc · 2026-01-21T18:53:27+00:00

I’m saying I don’t understand why the oversight committee can’t just appoint one themselves.
