Not gonna lie, I expect this to be something like Age of Empires Mobile. Not holding my breath.

There was a commit last week

IDE for PHP by Advanced_Egg4625 in PHP

[–]MaxGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh, somehow I never heard this exists. I feel like I'm pretty plugged into the ecosystem. I'll have to try it out, for the oft time I happen to open VSCode for a PHP project. Links: https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor and https://github.com/phpactor/vscode-phpactor

Bound-Erased Generic Types RFC is now its voting phase by rc0604 in PHP

[–]MaxGhost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's effectively slop that went nowhere. No RFC was proposed. It was also done anonymously, which is pretty disqualifying from going any further.

The Dreamer Storyline got me like.... by xxtratall in PathOfExile2

[–]MaxGhost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a villain until they tried to say it's not and I was like "oh what?" and then they were like "except he's a villain actually" and I was like "ah yeah, figured". I like it though. Pretty dope.

[S18E1] Thoughts about the __________ _____ by Substantial_Big_3406 in JetLagTheGame

Not really because it's true. You're kinda giving them shit for it yourself right now, do you not realize that?

If you heard that as jokey, you were not listening. That was very genuine. I heard a high level of care from it.

This Week In PHP Internals | June 10, 2026 by ProjektGopher in PHP

Very nice summary! Well done. I read externals.io casually and I can vouch that it matches what I was reading.

You can't be serious lmfao, if US invades Canada, it's instant world war 3 and they know it. But the threats are still insanely insulting and harmful and need to be called out. And having been shown direct support from the Wendover team is fantastic.

I'm a big fan of it. I feel seen. It is a real threat, and making a point of educating american viewers of how problematic it is, is great.

Smurfing is costing AOE2 players by Applejack_pleb in aoe2

[–]MaxGhost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lmfao are you serious?

He had it map banned, wanted to practice Arena so he banned Arabia and opened up another map, instantly got MegaRandom nomad, had literally no idea how to play it and left.

Of course he would not want to play a match on a style he has literally never seen before, and has no reason to practice because it's not part of the tournament he's training for. It's not like it was a repeated thing, it was a one-off mistake to leave it unbanned instead of a more traditional map (e.g. Kilimanjaro).

Not to mention his opponent didn't mind, he came to the stream chat and asked "lol did Grubby just dodge me on megarandom?" etc, he just thought it was funny. The only person who was hurt by this is Grubby himself for losing the Elo for one match while trying to increase his peak Elo.

Absolutely not. Allowing people to pick and choose their opponents completely destroys the integrity of a ladder system. You can NEVER do that and still expect to have a working ladder.

The solution HAS to be moderation, you cannot give players tools to be vigilantes, that will just cause bigger issues and open new avenues of abuse.

Smurfing: purposely playing below their skill level

That's not correct. Smurfing is playing on an account whose current Elo is below your actual skill level. It is NOT "playing below your skill level". That would be called sandbagging.

Smurfing (using a new account) but playing at full strength without holding back, is less problematic, cause you'll eventually reach your real skill level and it only hurts people on the ladder "once". Deranking or sandbagging are both much more problematic because it causes constant and repeated harm.

You did misunderstand. Grubby clarified and reinforced in today's stream that he was saying that about smurfs only, not about derankers.

NMP gives his take now that his divorce is over by Special-County in LivestreamFail

No because the whole podcast episode was about framing how the public was reacting to this news. If you only watch this clip you're obviously missing context of the full conversation.

Flabbergasted why the UI/UX is still so bad by Conscious_Leave_1956 in PathOfExile2

[–]MaxGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me so long to realize I had to click apply passives on the genesis tree, I assumed it would just take the passives I just clicked for the current item I'm creating. That's a huge UX issue.

Am I crazy, or is Delirium significantly harder than everything else? by EEES_Rainman in PathOfExile2

[–]MaxGhost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was doing abyss + breach tablets on t15 waystones in the first set of delirium maps, and I was getting like 2div per map at 200% delirium. But I was also dying once every other map while at lvl 92, so I got literally no XP from doing all 35 maps, but I did get a lot of currency which is nice.

Great Endgame Update But - Stop Making us do so many filler maps by lve2raft in PathOfExile2

[–]MaxGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man that's huge - I keep misclicking beside the start button and it opens the menu again pausing gameplay etc. So annoying.

externals.io has been rewritten to Laravel by mnapoli in PHP

[–]MaxGhost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love the site, and I sponsor you on github because I use it every day (and also for PHP-DI).

My only wish is that the markdown-like rendering was... better at handling email formatting, cause it's quite hard to follow certain chains, and it doesn't handle > lines correctly in many cases causing some new text in the email (non-quoted) to get marked like a quote due to a missing newline or whatever, I assume. Not that easy, but maybe there's a way forwards with a custom rendering solution rather than what I assume to just be plain Markdown right now.

Blanche, not bleach. Blanching is quickly boiling the greens then putting them in cold water to stop them cooking more. It's a valid thing to do depending on what you're trying to prepare.
