Most web work now is really boring because everything just works.
Plz to be helping me making my voting site work? It has the PHP and Vanilla.JS, and web browsers did not appreciate using
Alert()
to tell the user things...

Anyone want a Steam key for the product I'm recommending on?
Is it Dorf Ortress?
Why would I have Steam keys for someone else's non-Steam game?
Devs give out keys to friends all the time, or so I've heard. For instance, I have a list of about 47 keys for this free-to-play not-really-a-game...

Hell no. The last product I worked on that I'd recommend stopped advancing six years ago this July. Unfortunately, the only customer for that is government and government's priority isn't cost or quality but an army of warm bodies to "support" it so every door is closed.
Now, the product I wrote outside of work to manage a small business...well...a power user could probably use it as-is. If I could pull myself from the depths of fixing everything wrong with WinForms and put a working interface on top of it, I could probably make more money selling it than the business it supports.

That would seem severely lacking in …

It's not very well suited for use by someone else (niche product, poor documentation, mostly manual setup). That said, I would recommend... if they were to hire an expensive consultant who understands the system - and that would be me - to set it up for them and also draft a support contract, probably with a clause that none of it may appear on TDWTF or else :>

@dkf I had to look up what that icon meant and now it parses out weird.
Still, fixing WinForms is where I got stuck. I started off just wanting to fix autosizing. Selectboxes don't. Textboxes only do vertically and only if single line. Then it was a fight with datagrids and custom columns, which evolved into a fight with datagridviews trying to restore features missing from datagrids. Like why are the scrollbars in that weird limbo where they're not system style scrollbars but also not directly accessible? And flickering. And owner-drawn items. And buttons with "Polaroid" style layout (where I found that, seriously, the .NET button draws a button with one renderer and then draws corrected borders over top with another). And fixing checkedlistbox. And making radiolistbox. And fights with the designer. And it just never ends. I've got a really great SQL backend that I have to use the Enterprise Manager editor and stored procedures to do anything with.

The kneeling warthog denotes laziness — specifically of TDWTF mods, but more generally applicable to anyone who aspires to such heights of laziness. @boomzilla can direct you to the original post (but probably won't, because the is in the way).

IIRC it was in Copernicus thread.

The only thread I could find with Copernicus in the title is, "Copernicus Science Centre", and it's not there.

@jinpa you know, the ambiguously black quarterback? The one too lazy to stand up for the anthem?
Anyway, I was wrong. It wasn't Copernicus thread - it was Nazi thread. (Trigger warning: garage link)

Isn't your game free to play now? It looks like it...
Might give it a shot if it's Vive-compatible.

Yep. Though extremely low population, definitely hit up the discord (button to the left of the stairs on the announcements board) to see if one of the mods will give you a tour.
