Are there other hobbyists that literally go out of their way to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get? It's legit baffling.

    I’m going to eat twice as much meat to make up for you

    That's just a misquoted maddox joke from like 2004. Sounds like a cool person :yikes:

      LOL Maddox.

      His piece on how adventure games committed suicide is a legit internet hall of fame classic. I remember reading the lady's bio who wrote the puzzle he ridiculed and she wrote her entire Wikipedia bio as a lawyerly defense against that 20 year old column.

          Wow. She cleaned Wikipedia so thoroughly that there's not even a link to the Maddox piece on the Wikipedia article dedicated to how infamous and stupid the puzzle was. Boy, that really got to her.

          And after searching, I can't find the piece. It seems Google removed it, or heavily penalized it so that it won't appear in searches.
