The "Outcore hates Microsoft" Update

I ran the numbers and I am now certain: I was Hitler in my previous life Or at the very least my previous incarnation committed tax evasion and scammed some grannies in a mall. Why am I certain of that?

addedGood people have a guardian angel. I, on the other hand, have JimJim is the Microsoft employee designated to ruin every day of my life. Every day I wake up and find a new game-breaking bug report from someone who can't finish the game because of how Windows works or an update it received. It's like that comic where Thanos visits a child every year to ruin his birthday, except it happens every day.
addedWe're not doneIf you read my previous post about Microsoft then you know there was an issue with the sonar breaking due to Microsoft adding a localized "- File explorer" to the folder name that was displayed in file explorer.
addedWe're not doneApparently, there's another case where they change the name. For most computers when you're inside the Windows folder it should appear as "Windows", but for some, it appears as "C:/Windows". My new code can actually handle that case, but somewhere down the line there's another piece of code that couldn't.

Why am I certain of that? Because there is simply no other explanation for the sin I committed that cursed me to forever fix Outcore bugs in this life.

Jim is the Microsoft employee designated to ruin every day of my life. Every day I wake up and find a new game-breaking bug report from someone who can't finish the game because of how Windows works or an update it received. It's like that comic where Thanos visits a child every year to ruin his birthday, except it happens every day.

SPOILERS BELOW Today's episode focuses on K-Lev's sonar mini-game, just like last time.

If you finished the game then you know that

Lumi runs away and you need to use K-Lev's sonar to find her. Her location is C:/Windows/System32, but apparently Jim thought it was time for some computers to not have this folder which existed in every computer up until now.

Thanks, Jim.

We're not done

Jim is a productive employee and made sure to sneak in another terror attack against the sonar mini-game before he checked out for the day.

If you read my previous post about Microsoft then you know there was an issue with the sonar breaking due to Microsoft adding a localized "- File explorer" to the folder name that was displayed in file explorer.

Apparently, there's another case where they change the name. For most computers when you're inside the Windows folder it should appear as "Windows", but for some, it appears as "C:/Windows". My new code can actually handle that case, but somewhere down the line there's another piece of code that couldn't.

Sure, I could blame myself for writing code that wasn't versatile enough to handle every imaginable case ever, but how was I supposed to know there were so many cases to begin with? I'll just blame Jim because I prefer to dump responsibility on a made-up demonic Microsoft employee.

Anyway, some of you are code nerds so here's the fix

Till next time
