'Serves three'? More like 'serves me'.

Every dev should be forced to work in a crap engine with hideous performance constraints, on outdated hardware, just to internalise the basics, it's like mandatory military service but worse

The benefits are speed/ease of use for the developer (with commensurate suffering from all the typing problems it introduces) and writing more concise code by relying on... what's the word, implicit operations between data types.

It's great for writing spackle code but sucks for anything else.

That should just about prep you for the first few hours of Silksong.

Half joking. Which half? The answer is behind a secret wall and the most miserable platforming experience you've ever had.

Honestly thinking of stopping using 'g*medev' in my posts because it seems to attract bot accounts masquerading as devs or studios. Great way to make yourselves look good, folks.

Turns out you can get into Act II without the Last Judge, so I'm not free yet. Still holding out for difficulty mods because that initial ten hours was a trial of the spirit.

I give up. I've done everything in act 1 except the Savage Beastfly and the Last Judge and I just cannot muster any interest or enthusiasm for another shot at the tedious horseshit that makes up a run of either. Hoping Team Cherry adds difficulty mods, this is a very disappointing point to hit.

Yeah! Cheers. Even if this one goes largely unnoticed, I feel like it's an achievement I can use to motivate myself in the future.
