"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta
<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin
<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought.
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me
again<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME
<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How
did this code ever work in the first place!?
<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!
