I was guilty of that very thing once. During my first programming class back in college, I wrote an Asteroids clone as a project. My professor kept sending it back telling me to fix it. I really racked my brain trying to figure out what he was sending back to me (he wouldn’t tell me, I was supposed to find and correct the error). The game ran just fine. Finally a gave up and asked him to tell me the answer of what my code was doing wrong. He showed me that I had one line of code that was basically making a new instance of the entire game for every screen refresh. (I wrote it in Java, so Java was just correcting it for me in real time.)

It’s funny to me to see people mythologize how perfect video games were before they could be remotely updated.

Sure, game developers rely on fix-it-later updates much more than they should today, but games had bugs back then too.

That… Is some fucked up shit.

That’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure. My family eats at least one a week.

In Dallas, you can get one at Sam’s Club or Costco for $5.

And “old” in this case means “cooked this morning”.

Rotisserie chicken is like the absolute cheapest food a person can buy.

Are you suggesting that other animals are less capable of attention focus? Because I share that experience.
