I'm all for rules of engagement, but when the enemy seems to be gunning for genocide, I'm pretty sure everything's on the table.

This reads like an ad written by an LLM, wtf is it doing here?

Cats make for pretty poor insect control. They mostly kill spiders, not "pest" insects.

I am unironically saying that, as a career software engineer, fixing bugs and adding new features to an existing product is about 80% of a programming job.

The cost of a game getting patches and updates isn’t the same as the cost of making the game in the first place.

Tell me you've never tried to maintain/update software without telling me...

Was not prepared for the Diablo II reference lmao

Yeah, I'd like to see a source for this. There have been many proposed theories for why cats vocalize to humans, especially because "meowing" is not common between cats except for kittens. How do we know that it isn't a request for food or attention?

San Francisco had an emperor.

(He even "decreed" the construction of a bridge or tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland on the other side of the bay, predicting the existence of the Bay Bridge and Transbay Tube!)

As long as I don't have to maintain it.

(Who tf downvoted this? The "legacy code" lobby?)

Sigma Star Saga for the GBA. Really creative mashup of an RPG and a side-scrolling shooter, with a cool weapon-configuration system thrown in. Definitely suffered a bit from platform limitations, but there's absolutely more that could have been done with the core concept.

Shockingly good writing, too.

Good lord yes. Overwatch is just a corporatized TF2 ripoff, but Battleborn was a creative, unique game with a soul.

Anyone who hasn't seen it should watch the game's intro cinematic, which gives a great sense of just how much character the game had.
