Having two databases is not an odd thing, and it's not a bad thing. That is done all the time in software, to separate concerns. In the case of a game, the concerns are session data, vs long term persistence data. They actually require two different database architectures to work effectively...

Welcome to TEST! I don't have the authority either - that's @Montoya job. Now I've gone and woken him up... Come and join us in Discord!

uh... holy shit, I didn't even notice. 🤪 thanks for the heads up!

Hehe, yep like M&M's, but made with slightly different ingredients. When my wife (a Texan) and I go to Canada, she buys 5 pounds of the stuff, and she doesn't eat M&M's anymore. Kind off topic isn't it... sorry :) (In context, that has roughly the same meaning as when my kids say, "Sorry, not...

lol nope. That's what Canadians call a rocket. I'll give you a hint from like 1979 or something. "When you eat your smarties, do you eat the red ones last?"

My deepest condolences to you and your brother. It's a hard and heart wrenching thing to go through, but cherish the memories. You'll have them the rest of your life. My mother died of cancer back in 2010, my father 2 months ago also of cancer. You know, when I went to BC in June, it was to...

I dunno, probably nothing you need to pay taxes on, which will be fine with me when I get there.

As I'm from Canada, living in Texas - I have to agree with that article. North American accents are as diverse as they are in the UK and Ireland, but span far more distance in both time and space. The article talks about Shakespeare - there is still a region in North America where someone...

Wait a sec, he pays us exactly what we deserve. Look, how much have you spent on beer and taxes since you joined TEST? @Montoya is giving us free points! This time I can blame Microsoft for me getting the shade of yellow wrong.

It's amazing what becomes visible in the infrared part of the spectrum. They've known about some sort of rings since 84, but only had glimpses of them until Voyager 2 in '89. 6 rings total, and they are changing rapidly. Something else interesting is in the James Web image, if you look at...

You know, a good portion of the Western seaboard of North America calls a trawler, a troller. Same acronym, plus some additional meanings

That was just an exclamation. I was saying I love the idea. But you could add Junk Ships

all y'all need another beer. When that's done, get another, and another. Repeat until you can smell bullshit.

There are a lot of youtubers who make themselves look like idiots because they don't know that "alpha" means specifically an ongoing feature and component test. And, it's a hell of a lot of fun to play for an alpha.

Good idea. I'm going to teach my newest granddaughter to do that. I mean she's not even 2 months old yet, so I have a bit of time to figure out how without being caught.

C.C. instead of Crown. But mostly Canadians drink beer. And that comes in cases called a twofer. It means 24, you say "can I have a twofer of ... no, not Molson or Labatt eh, how about Moosehead this time please? Sorry." (6 packs are for wimps, unless you buy 4 of them. Then it just means...

Cross spanners and a beer mug above instead of a skull? There are some evil looking spanners.

It is eh. Art stuff escapes me, I mean I can draw stick m... never mind. Awesome @Lorddarthvik! And THANK YOU!

Hah, there. OWL!... Where are you @Blind Owl!

Yeah that's almost perfect. I was going for a test logo thing, made of an angry hockey playing beaver on a pissed off Canada Goose. You know, I've never seen a goose in that posture. Usually if you get too close they look a lot like a goose beak that's going to rip you a new one right between...
