I could do a bunch of copy and pasting, or I could use Python to scrape and take all the links. It takes a URL as a CLI Argument, specifically like: > main.py https://website.com It skims the page with Beautiful Soup and spits out a text file with the date-time-url.txt format. Useful if a site changes over time. The site I was scraping was using some relative…

What I’ve Been Playing – High Fashion Edition

This is more of a what's new in games I have been playing I suppose. My game playing has extremely stagnated and I have honestly stagnated on how much I give a shit about games (and almost everything honestly). But let's not dwell too deeply on that right.... Right? Everything is fine. Fortnite I went back to Fortnite a but recently. Mostly because I remembered there was a Godzilla thing going on. I have yet to see the Godzilla thing after several matches. I never saw Dr Doom either. I am not sure why they make these special things that…
