PC is now upset because she couldn't pick up some LEGO Star Wars today. To be fair, who doesn't want the special Jango Fett keychain.
We'll distract her with some fish though.

What is the number one reason you get angry while doing game dev?
For PC it has to be when there is an unknown bug in the game that takes us way too long to fix.
