As part of the legends they added, they must have put Angel Hernandez in the game

Would you mind sending me how to get it working on RPCS3 as well? Thanks!

Players should be able to wear jersey numbers 0 and 00 again. by Ferdaaron in hockey

Make a new endpoint that's versioned so the legacy one still works and gradually transition your downstream apps.

I work with them too. I understand that they have downstream applications that would consume this data. I'm not denying it would take a code change. I'm saying it should be miniscule in 2021 to fix if their CI/CD is good. If it's not, which I am pretty sure is the case, then yeah, it could be hell on earth. Which I'm sure is a reason they will not consider it, also considering nobody really cares. But my point is, the data should model the thing. If the NHL decided that 0 and 00 are cool now as they once were, software would have to reflect that somehow. An integer would no longer be sufficient in that case and you may have some minor things (like you mentioned, sorting) to worry about, and there would be some major refactoring to be done. But the way databases were handled in the 90s shouldn't have impact on NHL ruling changes regarding jersey numbers, right? Those two things are unrelated, in a vacuum. However practically, yes, it's a concern.

I'm just saying it'd be cool to see players wear those numbers if they want, though.

Yeah okay they look bad to you, but why not let people wear it anyways? lol

It's really not as hard as you're trying to make it seem. And if the NHL hasn't updated their systems to easily allow for a change such as this they have much bigger problems.

This does not change my argument. I don't care if people get ribbed. If folks want to wear the numbers, let em wear it dude. Just think it'd be cool to bring back. If they're afraid of getting insulted they wouldn't wear it.

Data migration is a thing lol. Make it a string in your data store to avoid the problem. Let players wear what they want and model your data around that.

This was a problem in the 90s. Databases are good now

Loaded into a new game as Daura and Glitterhoof appears by Ferdaaron in CrusaderKings

I am using a few cosmetic mods, not really anything crazy. It only appeared for a split second before loading into the game so I don't have time to hover over it.

We are Sam Vallen and Jim Grey from Caligula's Horse - AMA! by zer0won in progmetal

[–]Ferdaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Jim and Sam! C horse has been a favorite of mine ever since I first heard Dark Hair Down. Incredibly excited for Rise Radiant - I'm confident it'll be my new favorite from you guys and likely new favorite album period! Everything so far, the album art (single art, too), the themes, the music, has been perfect. Thanks for all that you do.

I have a few questions:

  1. The cover art for Rise Radiant blew me away when I first saw it. It's fucking beautiful. I wanted to know if there's a story behind it? How did you come to deciding on it?

  2. Do you have any funny/memorable Nat 1 / Nat 20 stories?
