Wellp, this looks fun, fighting with the borrow checker in an async context

[proud fossil]

Hey, i'm trying to fight the borrow checker shocking, i know anyway. I'm trying to ... well, it's easier to explain it in code itself.

I also tried following and it got a lot worse :/

any idea how i could implement this correctly ? I don't want you to write my code, I just want some rough directions for me to take to figure this out :/

or maybe even an alternative for my PlayerDatabase problem ?
when i fight the borrow checker, i know i must've gone down the wrong way to a solution.

Not possible, just don’t have that API

Return a Option<Arc<Mutex<Player>>> from get

then people can lock it after that if they please

yea, i guess you're right. i'm just overengineering it ig
