Python to C++ as a pipeline is like going from the shallow end of the city pool (like 70cm depth maximum) directly into a lake with no floats or jetti or anything.

Good luck bro, have fun with trying to debug memory leaks or god forbid whenever you encounter undefined behaviour.

My 15 year old self who had learned Python in class and wanted to progress to a new and interesting language and chose C++, only to get lost and confused because it's a low-level systems language which makes it cryptic af, fucking FEEEELLLLS this post dude.

That first Talanah quest. You need to check if a corpse is in a cave. There is one shellsnapper guarding it, and a line of stealth grass leading directly to the cave.

Who programmed this?!

"Hmm, how do we follow up our game where our heroine went from an anti-social loner to part of a friend group she'd fought alongside the whole game..."

"OH I KNOW. Let's have her push away and be shitty to all of them for their 'satefy'. Except when we ignore this whenever the hell we want. Mint."

ME! I DO! BECAUSE I HATED IT!!!! I remember that damn thing out of sheer spite. It's a downgrade in basically every single way.

Aloy and her arc were both insufferable. The stealth was worse and made artificially impossible. It's a dogshit metroidvania. And the Zeniths? WHO WROTE THIS!!??!!?

The mysterious stranger brought the illusive town along with him.

BIG PICTURE MODE?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country? Localised ENTIRELY within my computer?

Unicode does this a lot. Any brown hands emoji is actually a white hands emoji followed by a brown square. Bluesky chat gets it right, but the notifications for chat don't.

This is the computer equivalent of you sending a text to somebody and then them thinking that "my" is pronounced "myah".

It broke for me on Firefox for some reason.
