Have you ever wonder when to use *[]struct and when to use []*struct when developing in Go? Look no further! I’ll explain everything you need to know about this topic in this post.

However, there is no Chinese translation, and after the misery of Oathbringer, I just lost all of my faith in reading long novels in English (I still read novellas and short stories from time to time tho).

Bought it on Steam sale after 5 years of its initial launch and 2.5 years after its pc port came out. I had to say it’s a bit underwhelming.
