Found this gem my friends made of me when I was 20 years old, clowning how much I loved Robert Vieira's SQL Server books. Those Wrox books were the first that spoke to the audience like coworkers and not like robots ala Addison-Wesley. Now I love @manning.com, which is casual but accurate.

I had the series' next iteration on my bookshelf when I lived in San Francisco back in 2006/2007. I always preferred the single author versions of Wrox though. Didn't remember having a magazine rack, I love it. I miss SQL Server Magazine so much. It was often over my head but I loved it, still.

DQ Slime spotted, day made. ☺️

I loooooove DQ! Nice to meet a fellow fan. I am working on rebuilding my other favorite game, Infocom's Wishbringer and my first prompt was "making this text based game like Dragon Quest" then evolved it a bit. It's my side project when my other projects are running long prompts 😊

Haha, that shouldn't be so hard, but I love the triple SQL / DQ / Infocom nerdcrossing of streams. ☺️ I will make sure to check your game project out! Going to use dbatools to migrate a cluster estate away from SQL 2016 soon, too. Thanks for that gem, too.

I got 23 points in Wishbringer before falling off a cliff. Literally. ☺️ That was fun and you I can already tell that it's a charming and fairy tale like story. I enjoyed it a lot, even though it seems not quite finished yet, from a technical POV. I'll be sure to return when I have time again.

Oh how cool! Thank you for playing 😊 It's a game for beginners so I will add in a way to undie. It'll be helpful, too, for those who have been eaten by a grue.

I actually enjoyed the proper fail state! I sometimes got confused by the static graphics. When characters enter or leave the scene but the change is not reflected visually. Or when a dog seems to stay angry when he is really distracted. I guess that would maybe be helpful for beginners, too?
