I'm playing Counter-Strike 2

... exclusively on a modded server hosting a Warcraft mod

... that I found because I was searching for the same thing I played on CS:S over a decade ago

I still use this line stepping into a hot car in the Summer.

Or a classic:

#define true (rand() % 2)
#define false (rand() % 2)

But then your loyal servants won't be able to find it either to bring you back.

I once worked in a program that allowed custom C# scripts to be written into it to add custom functionality. The way it worked under the hood however was that the code written in the text field would be stitched together into a longer file and the whole thing compiled and ran. The developers didn't want people to have to write or understand boilerplate code like import statements or function declarations so the place you typed into was the body of a function and some UI was used to get the rest of the bits that would create generated code for everything else.

To add to that there was a section of global code where you could put code explicitly outside of functions if you knew what you were doing. This wouldn't get code-generation-wrapped into a function, just at the top of the class. It did, however, only run and get runtime checking when one of the functions was ran. And since the program didn't grasp that the global code error line number should be with respect to the global code block and not the function code block you could get errors on line -54 or whatever since the final generated file landed the global broken code 54 lines before the beginning of the function.

Not that any of this was told to the user. I only found out because early versions of the app wasn't compiled with obfuscation so ILSpy let me see how they rigged the thing to work.

Error on line -54 will probably be what made me the most dumbstruck in all of development.

Booey is close enough to boy for the joke to still work just fine.

I'm surprised so few people have mentioned Thunder, which I use. Is there something keeping it from being more popular?

Exact same strategy here. There's a lot of ways to decorate towers too which is great.

Shame that Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't have any one-armed Herdazian jokes

I know it's not consistent but I read them like zsh = zee shell, ssh I spell out "s s h", sudo I say /ˈsuː.doʊ/. or "soo dough"
