so glad i am finished with my hobby (work) so i can go back to doing my job (playing baldur's gate 3)

For C++ saying that lvalues are things on which the & operator doesn't throw (and rvalue are things which cause & to throw) is slightly incorrect. After checking the official specification for the language there is a thing called a "qualified-id" that & can operate on, and there is a case where a qualified-id can be a rvalue.

oh that's a 60mph wind extreme weather warning for my city tonight. neat.

what if you had a language that passed all variables by value instead of by reference meaning that declarative passing of objects to other functions results in often-expensive copy operations for the arguments to and return value of each function call. so we use pointers for everything. except explicit pointer logic is extremely error prone so instead we should use objects which handle the pointer logic for us. also we need to invent references, which are like pointers but they're different, and add implicit conversion of objects to their references to the 1998 update to the language specification so you can pass these wrapper objects to functions without copies now. but also we need to invent rvalue references so you can pass rvalues to functions as well. btw do you know what an rvalue is? oops wait, these rvalue references so happen to fuck the taxonomy of value categories for the language so now you need to know what an xvalue is teehee

All of this fucking value category bullshit only to realize that the reference operator (&) is valid for lvalues and throws when used on rvalues. This is a valid definition.

i deeply regret to inform that i have started to enjoy the language now that i've learned some things about it.

only a little bit though.

on that note, it is a shame that the dark justiciar armor is so badass given that narratively it feels wrong to wear anymore

when the armor is amazing but also is really fucking ugly

I thought it was quaint when gamers would geek out when experiencing Half-Life 2's physics puzzles for the first time.

And then I stacked three boxes in top of each other in BG3 to reach somewhere I couldn't jump to normally and suddenly I understood
