It’s alright. I’m just glad others remember it existing!

My grandpa was sick a lot so I spent a lot of time waiting for him in the emergency room. I played this to pass the time!
Glad I’m not the only one!
That being said... I think that we as users should monetarily support our instances. I do support the instance I use for Mastodon. I will do the same for Lemmy once I settle on one.
That's a big thing for sure. I had a lot of fun with Deep Rock Galactic, but would never have tried it if my friend group hadn't wanted to play.
I'm holding out hope for Starfield. I'm trying to not let myself get excited... But it looks like something that could be so fun. I really hope they get it right. :)
Yup. Glad I didn't buy it, but hey... If they fix it down the road I'd give it a shot since it's on Game pass.
That's completely fair! You're allowed to like it. :) The internet's opinion doesn't have to be yours. Loll.
I think that's the point of the article. Was it a great game? No. But apparently you're not the only person that's getting some enjoyment out of it. :)
Since you asked, I'll give you a nuanced answer.
PHP is not, in itself, inherently bad. The newer versions are performant and if you are a good programmer, you can produce completely fine stuff with it.
The problem is that it's flexibility leads to sloppy programming, which leads to projects that turn into a cluster. A good example is WordPress. I'd argue WordPress itself is well written. Once you add a dozen or so badly written plugins though it becomes a mess.
A lot of the criticism is the same that JavaScript gets. It's a loosely typed language. So "1" is different than 1. The first is a string and the second is an integer. So if you add 1+1 you could end up with 11 instead of 2.
Again, this isn't a problem if you're a disciplined dev, but we're not a breed known for our discipline ;)
When I tried Kbin it was slow, which I attributed to badly written PHP code. However, I didn't do the research to confirm this was the case.
Never played the NES game. I came close to beating it but never could get past the boss to the final level.
