!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

whatever you do, don't look into its code.
It's basically a single lua file with more if/else/switch nesting than god intended
(unless it was refactored in the last couple months)
Why not? On the same way you don't need amazing art to make a fun game, you don't need amazing code either. If the game is fun then it's a success.
agreed, but not the point I was making
balatro: oh dear, oh dear. gorgeous.
yandere simulator: you fucking donkey.
Apparently Undertale works this way as well. All of its dialog is one massive switch statement.
I remember reading undertales code is nightmare fuel.
If it works it works.
Yeah a lot of games have shit code and always have. Real time strategy "ai" is especially egregious if I remember right.
