Dunno about ugly, it has some gorgeous views, but I agree about tedious and boring.
The wow factor of finding new places did NOT offset the tiresome enemies that followed.

A simple spray hose next to the toilet is so great. Not only for use as a bidet but also for cleaning
Personally, I prefer duplicate keys to be eaten by the parser but I can see how it'd be beneficial to prevent them.
Wait, let is to introduce locals but local is to introduce variables available in the whole file?
...so local creates global variables? What?
...and local creates constant values?
Yeah, I remember when I was trying to parse XML into some lua tables and it forever stumped me how to represent something like
<thing important_param=10 other_param="abracadabra"> stuff </thing>
You just have to have different ways to turn different tags into stuff in your program and that's a huge amount of overhead to think about when all I want is a hash map and maybe an array.
It's inconsistent and annoying. Expressive, yes. Gets it's job done, yes. Absolute nightmare of a spec, YES.
The fact that JSON is a subset of YAML should tell you everything about how bloated the spec is. And of course there's the "no" funny things.
Personally, my favourite way to write configs was using lua (because it was already part of the project so why not), but JSON does fine.
Genuinely, why? Personally, I'm happy to eat basically same meals for a few days before they get boring, and you can vary your sandwiches a lot of you so desire.
I used to use FTP for file transfer, nowadays I just start up a HTTPS server on the source machine and grab stuff from there.
Well, it was a spur-of-the-moment sort of thing when I went and looked at their site and it just had a bunch of names with no numbers there under the book art.
Went and checked now and site looks entirely different, and I can clearly see the issue numbers. I don't know, maybe I hallucinated it.
Yeah. I tried getting into comics once and got a multi-gigabyte archive of deadpool stuff.
...couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Actually couldn't get into IDW sonic/transformers for the same reason. WHERE DO I START!?
What do you mean unseasoned, they have salt on them. smh
Perfectly good boiled potatoes and stew.
Watching youtubers play the souls games is pretty fun, although they do skip all the tedious bits.
