Yeah man, takeout and energy drinks, THAT'S what's gonna make the kids you're burning through like firewood unable to buy a house. Wonder why they buy so much takeout and energy drinks? MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO COOK AND NEED CAFFEINE TO MAINTAIN YOUR SWEATSHOP.

Screenshot of article: Brammer expresses excitement over the prospect of juniors who have been in the studio for two or three years who are going to "get money to buy a house, or at least a down payment." At the same time, Bulkhead has made redundancies every year for the past six years, laying off about 20 percent of the company.

Following the studio's newfound success, Brammer jokes about having to coach said developers into not spending all their money on "takeaway and energy drinks."

"We have a new responsibility to our younger staff who are making good money, often money they haven’t seen before," he says.

I liked Turn A Gundam

Poorly draw MS Paint Turn A Gundam firing a gun over the head of a person, with text "Wow, cool robot" while the person beneath says "War is bad" looking at the Gundam.

Like this is *more* work still, but at least I am personally likely to at least get actual value out of this, and it means I can then go turn this into a user facing feature where server hosts can edit these for fun shenanigans. Basically was just trying to replicate Source Engine cvars.
