Help! How do I defeat this D&D enemy?

GitHub - THeK3nger/movingai-rust at feat/octree Map/Scenario parser for the MovingAI benchmark format - THeK3nger/movingai-rust

After a long time of messing with it, I am close to releasing `movingai-rust` v3.0. This new version will finally implement 3D benchmarks and voxel maps.

It is a pretty niche library, but if you work with the MovingAI pathfinding benchmarks, I have a beta branch already: github.com/THeK3nger/mo...

I am writing a proper manual for the card game/solitaire we invented with my cousin as kids. I already feel Nintendo's orbital laser pointed in my direction if I ever make it public. πŸ˜†

Once again, I am mildly annoyed that you are all using the word "stochastic" incorrectly.

I haven't bought a box of crayons since school, most likely. But I recently did to color a drawing in my "D&D Sessions Chronicle Notebook," and now I am like that enthusiastic coloring-kid meme.

A window on a cardboard box where we can see the big eyes of my cat. Outside, the blur of a cat toy moving by.

I guess that, between Pokopia and Slay the Spire 2, they decided I have to do absolutely nothing this March.

It is quite crazy to allow everybody, even users without writing permission on the repo, to trigger a GitHub Action that takes as input the same user’s provided input and run commands.

I only played 30 minutes of PokΓ©mon Pokopia, and I went into it mostly blind. It's too early to comment, but it's fascinating so far. But... is it a post-apocalyptic PokΓ©mon world? πŸ˜† What the hell happened? (Not a real question-no spoilers!)

The Changelog – February 2026 February is the shortest month, and I always need to write it at the last moment. It is hard to write about what I did up to the 27th when the month has only one more day. So I am always short on time...

I still don't know if it was a good February or a bad one. However, I did stuff.
