Translating win32 calls to whatever the hell there is in Unix and Unix-like OSes (well, most of them) in order to port a certain game net code library and dear god why did I volunteer myself for this task

At least pevents is there to help, but too bad cmake doesn’t want to compile it with the flag I need (“-DWFMO”) in order to make the “WaitForMultipleEvents” method to work at all. Instead no matter what options I give it on the command line or how I tell VS Code to do it, it seems to give me the finger to my fucking face.

Doing it for games on the cooler OSes... doing it for the community... come on...

As much as I prefer dark themes, I do prefer the Colorful theme for Office 365. Really helps all its apps stand out and gives them personality.

Man it is retarded how VS re-aligns your precompile statements to the BEGINNING OF THE FUCKING LINE EVERY TIME YOU ADD A NEW ONE.

Why does it do that in the first place, it looks ugly when it’s not in-line with the code, fucking stop it.

1. Finish my damn game engine.
2. Get my own company up and running with actual staff and funds.
3. Finish the game a friend and I are working on using said engine.
4. Getting out of this fucking job since I’ll have my own company to deal with.

Use a fucking string to store an int just to use a switch on the value.

I nearly lost all pictures I had saved of my waifu because I was using an external HD at the time that I used on both Mac and Windows. I had a temp folder on my Mac that I saved into whenever I was traveling. It piled up, so I figured it was time to merge the folders by dragging the folder from my Mac to the external HD (they had the same folder name).

The only problem was.... Mac does not merge folders. It overwrote it. I cried, freaked out, asked every tech friend I could for help, and I nearly lost everything, but I made sure to not shut the drive off. A few hours later, I plugged it into Windows, and Recuva to the rescue!

So while it was a happy ending, that was a HUGE scare for me.

I’ve met some of the best friends I could ever hope to have thanks to code.

I started with the MUGEN fighting game engine back in high school. Didn’t know a thing about code but I wanted to learn so I could make awesome characters.

If it were not for that, I would’ve never met friends from all over the world from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. I certainly never expected to have a best friend who lived in Mexico (who is now in Japan). I would’ve never found the career I have today, nor would I have met the love of my life (even if I couldn’t have her, my love is still there), and I wouldn’t have traveled the world to meet some of these friends.

In the end, it was the engine, our passion for fighting games, and our discovery of the art of code that brought us all together.

A single fucking NuGet package is missing in release mode. That’s the only goddamn explanation I have and it makes no sense. Why the FUCK does ACR.UserDialogs only get compiled in Debug mode?!

God I fucking HATE UWP.

6 hours at work to find out I needed to supply TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning to one method to fix this error.

As Kenan and Kel would say: WHYYYYYYYY

Gotta work this entire weekend, including tomorrow... and then the iOS code starts acting up. Haven’t even implemented Android communications yet.

Please have mercy upon me. This is so Kirby—sucks and blows.

> mfw I created a responsive API totally unconsciously, if not by complete accident

"If it wasn't for this glaring error, this other guy's method would be perfect, not this simple fucking thing you gave me that I can't get to work because binary operations scare me"

I might just stop helping this person.

Java apparently thinks it would be too convenient if we would use comparison operators on enumerations.

If you have to use the .ordinal() every time you want to do such a thing, you make the code uglier that you're trying to clean up to begin with!

Time to do this the hard way:
public static final int YELLING = 0;
public static final int SCREAMING = 1;
...

When people talk about their girlfriends on here and you're single.

If I write something erroneously on SO because the program or operating system uses it erroneously in the error, don't edit my fucking question to what you think it should be. People who Google for the same error aren't going to find it as a possible fucking solution. How fucking hard is this to understand?

You know your office is cool when they stock Baja Blast and Pitch Black.

Whoever decided to make ClickOnce behave the way it does should be dragged out into the street and shot.

Not a rant but since we're posting cat pics now, here's Namco!

Spaghetti Code, Spaghetti Code.
Flush it right down the commode,
Spins a call graph, unreadable size,
Anyone who sees it cries.
Look out, here comes the Spaghetti Code!

You ever reach the point where you've run out of things to do?

It's both extremely satisfying and extremely rage-inducing when you learn that an update in the framework breaks your once perfectly functional code for no reason.

Especially when said code is from a sample written by the developers themselves.

Thank god there was a hotfix.

Using the default color schemes in VS... Install monokai, come on!

They need to make a drug that makes quality tests interesting.

But such a drug would have the side effect of making paint drying look like monkeys blowing up racecars.

At the end of a function for getting the machine's MAC address:

return ofTheMAC;

If you don't get this, you're too young.

Why, oh why can I not just get distinct values in my query so I don't hit the goddamned list view threshold in SharePoint?

Spent an hour trying to figure out what was wrong in my socket disconnect detection code because it was constantly reporting disconnects when it shouldn't have... Only to find it was a pinched cable causing the problem. Meaning it actually did work the entire time.

Converting an int to a string for use in a switch statement... And nothing else.

Who the HELL wrote this crap?!
