    Keep in mind too these guys are writing and reading in like assembly or some precursor to it.

    I can only imagine the number of checks and rechecks they probably go through before they press the "send" button. Especially now.

    This is nothing like my loosey goosey programming where I just hit compile or download and just wait to see if my change works the way I expect...

      they almost certainly have a hardware spare, or at the very least, an accurately simulated version of it, because again, this is 50 year old hardware. So it's pretty easy to just simulate it.

      But yeah they are almost certainly pulling some really fucked QA on this shit.

    I'd also be surprised if anyone working on the project was even alive when the code was written.

    Meanwhile here on Earth, we need to login using two accounts to access Helldivers 2. And even got pulled from many countries. What a time to be alive.
