@jk it sounds like you're having too much fun doing menial tasks, have you considered optimizing the game out of the game so you can complete more story points?

Shane Celisshanecelis@mastodon.gamedev.placeOct 2, 2026, 8:36 PM@jk Doh, I wonder if I'm guilty of that.

Then compare the differences of which language is this task harder or easier? It definitely started as a joke to me, but as I read up on the man, I became kind of bowled over by his accomplishment.
