My brief experience with LINQ has also taught me to prefer this type of thing as well; though I still use regex on a daily basis most of the time, given my environment.

I don’t know all of the regex rules (look ahead/behind, etc); but it’s honestly not that bad. If you can learn the syntax for a programming language, you can learn the basics of regex…

I’m the sysadmin (and transitioning to DevOps) at work, but the DBs are 100% in control of our two devs (one of which being the head of IT).

Apparently we’re going to hire a third Dev, who will moonlight as our DBA – oh, and for 30K/yr.

I’m sure this will go well.

I had the same problem with Fallen Order the first day; the workaround in that particular case was to launch the game’s executable directly; which let me play that one, single time. A few days later and both the original workaround (and others) & no-workarounds caused the game to launch in the background, with no way to force it to the foreground.

In Fallen Order’s case specifically; there appeared to be a launcher-specific wrapper executable, and the game itself. When the workaround stopped working, the launcher-specific wrapper is what was getting ran in the background; but the game itself never actually appeared. Additionally, reinstalling the game several times did not resolve any issue; nor other troubleshooting steps from EA.

Origin was also a pretty crap piece of software (compared to Steam, anyway); but this is a new low from EA, imo. Its a shame too, because I liked what I got to see in Fallen Order, especially recently getting into souls games.

Had the displeasure of using the modern EA app the other week – completely refuses to launch my copy of Jedi: Fallen Order in the foreground after a single play-session (Steam -> EA just doesn’t work for some people).
