In a first time I solved a cloud cost mystery on my CV analyzer - turned out the "obvious" bot cost €0.01/month, not more. Real culprit: WebSocket timeouts. One config change → -93.5% cost

And I started writing again! Working on a new project and documenting the journey. Feels good to be back at it.

I treated myself to the remake of Silent Hill 2 to play over Christmas and got a couple of hours into it before the first boss fight. I then uninstalled it because I'm 20 years older than when I played it through last and can't be dealing with repeatedly trying to complete a stupid mini-game with an unskippable cutscene and sluggish tank controls. It's a great game, but... boss fights ruin great games. They take the atmosphere that's built over hours of puzzle-solving and remind you you're playing a video game. A lot of modern games have a "story" difficulty setting, and I used to think it was silly, but nowadays not so much. SH2 on easy combat difficulty was making me sad.

So like I said, I uninstalled it.

Then this week I reinstalled it and downloaded a cheat which I turn on for the boss fights. I just god-mode through them and don't have any regrets. Life's too short.

And I'm happily playing the next spooky part.

Started learning basic robotics with a starter kit. As a software engineer I want to broaden my intuitions towards hardware too. So many new things to learn, makes me very excited to continue.
