I like memes that are precisely targeted so as to be completely incomprehensible except to one narrow subset of person who will immediately groan and hold their face and sob a little bit
@glassbottommeg oh nooooo

@pawv @eniko I don't know if Make's familiar with the codebase, but Emma I think you at least aren't, and

holy shit you have no idea

The whole fucking thing is macros, MACROS IN MACROS, and the result does, uh, work? but at what cost

@glassbottommeg @pawv oh i don't have personal experience but in a dev chat i'm in i've been regaled with many an unreal reflection horror story

@eniko @glassbottommeg Arms length familiarity here, but FMA meme tells me all I need to know. 😖

Regrettably I have been the one to blame for designing complex C++ systems built on reflection BS. I'm the sort of pigheaded type that chose not to use an "intellisense" IDE, so not having popups and easy ways to navigate an inheritance family tree really highlighted the mistake I had made. 😅

Also MACROS... I've done so many naughty things with those. 😈

@eniko @glassbottommeg I can only imagine what Unreal-dev in (pre-AI era) Notepad is like. 🤣
@glassbottommeg i'm half of that person and i'm still groaning 'cause i can *imagine* where it is going and i don't like it. don't like it al all.

@glassbottommeg

where is Roy Mustang when you need him

@glassbottommeg learning about Unreal architecture via cursed meme
@glassbottommeg Had to think for a bit to remember which Epic this was about, they'll always be Epic MegaGames to me
@glassbottommeg
Funily enough, I'm not actually part of that subset, but I recognise enough of these to work out what it's about- 

@glassbottommeg @airakose oh.

OH.

I remember that (took a bit, but).

@glassbottommeg

Sure we have preprocessor, but what about prepreprocessor?

@glassbottommeg i really need to gets my hands on that image without the text
@glassbottommeg Epic did WHAT??

@NK30 it's all macros

IT'S. ALL. MACROS.
