@olemd After talking with Karel of the Legion of Darkness handling Void Erosion Fragments at Ingris, fighting Greg is just a little ... weird.

I'm collecting a list of all the breakup movies where they only made one movie.
Like "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "The Break-Up"Yeah, it's a non-relational no-sequel database.

I keep seeing all these incredibly talented people have imposter syndrome. So I'm seriously doubting if I'm good enough to have it.

One of these days, someone is going to rewrite this system. I hope they did for Descent 4?

Also, a hack in a 13.000 line ASM file? Welcome to gamedev.

Just in case.
Gamedev is never perfect, you should read game source code. It's fun. Any game released is a miracle.
End of thread.

I'm sometimes asked, how did gamedev work before stuff like git? How did people communicate fixes and changes?
I present to you, a comment thread.

Eruption started again in Iceland. This is the same spot about 3 minutes apart. It's why they keep telling you "don't go into these areas even if it looks safe"

Icelandic phone numbers are 7 digits.
5xx-xxxx is usually Reykjavik (and surrounding area)
555-xxxx is usually my old home town (Hafnarfjörður)Which means when movies go "555-1234" or something, then that's an actual phone number in Iceland.
When movies do this, I'll often look up the phone number in the Icelandic phone book.
Movie: "Yeah, my number is 555-xxxx"
Me: "Nope, that's a dentist in Iceland" -
