Nope, doesn’t seem like it.

Here’s an example of a text object taken from the XML, if you’re curious: https://clips.clb92.xyz/2024-09-08_22-27-04_gfxTWDQt13RMnTIS.png

EDIT: And with more complicated strings (like ones havingnumbers or symbols - just regular-ass ASCII symbols, mind you) there will be tens of <stringItem>, because apparently numbers and letters don’t even work the same. Even line breaks have their own <stringItem>. And if the number of these <stringItem> and their charLen don’t match what’s actually in pt:data, it won’t open the file.

Lots or file formats are just zipped XML.

I was reverse engineering fucking around with the LBX file format for our Brother label printer’s software at work, because I wanted to generate labels programmatically, and they’re zipped XML too. Terrible format, LBX, really annoying to work with. The parser in Brother P-Touch Editor is really picky too. A string is 1 character longer or shorter than the length you defined in an attribute earlier in the XML? “I’ve never seen this file format in my life,” says P-Touch Editor.

Shamelessly stolen joke. Here’s the original tweet, which I think is much better too: https://twitter.com/0xAsync/status/1607541407937339392

For everyone who’s read Discworld, I imagine that’s Dibbler.

Probably meant defect.

Omg, it’s scary how accurate this is!
I am a nerd!

What about the predictable beginning and the predictable middle part, between the beginning and the end? I usually just skip those too.

haha php bad, kill yourself 👌 lolol 💯👌👌😂😂😂

If you’re going to make these “If programming languages were X” jokes, at least be a little bit creative with them.

No it isn’t?

I’m raised in a time were foxes had forelimbs

…and were bigger than a planet and were made of fire? Sure grandpa, let’s get you to to bed now.

(The second one is indeed really good)

Looks better with a serif font, though.

EDIT: Oh, it actually depends on the publisher too, it seems. In the digital ones I’ve read, it was small caps, but in some others it’s apparently all caps.

You’re safe until the Liveleak logo appears

Already a better origin story than many other superheroes or supervillains.

I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t done something similar before.

Stay at loopback address, wear a subnet mask?

I’ve never bought anything on Epic, and I probably never will, but I have hundreds of games there, and quite a few of them are big titles.

I don’t like you, Epic, but free games are free games…
