My game engine is written in and will only support the one real programming language @c-official.bsky.social. Namespaces? I can name a space, it’s called scope_function. Function overloads? More like overload this codebase with bloat. Classes? How about you go take a class on real programming.

A SIGTERM is issued by the operating system; my process effortlessly dodge rolls it, then immediately executes a perfect parry against the MMU. Before it can recover, a null pointer has been loaded into EBX. The kernel groans at my shit.
