Thanks, friend, you too. And remember, best ideas win... unless you happen to know what you're doing.

As a fellow Unity employee, I feel that right down to my bones. If the job market for software devs didn't suck so hard, I would have left a while ago. Compartmentalization is the only coping mechanism I have to keep myself going.

That little baby needs kisses on the head and rubs on the belly.

As an American, I'd agree to a certain point. It is sad that foreign language skills are not terribly well emphasized in the US, but finding instruction in languages you might want to learn can be challenging depending on the language, unless it's something common such as Spanish, French, or German. I work on my language skills using online resources as much as I can, but I'm also an adult with a full time job, so finding time is also a challenge. Also, unless you're surrounded by people actively speaking the language, it can be exceptionally difficult to build those skills and hang on to them for very long. I know a little Danish, a little Russian, a little Finnish, a little Greek, a little Japanese, a little Mandarin, but lacking the ability to immerse myself in environments where those languages are spoken, I'll likely never get good enough to speak any of them anywhere close to fluently aside from knowing a few phrases at best.

And to your point about how language learning should be mandatory, it's a nice idea, but when I went through school, it was mandatory to take at least one language course. I took French in high school. I didn't enjoy it and don't remember a damn bit of it. Most of the kids I knew took Spanish. Nearly all of them also didn't retain any of it. So, it's more than just making instruction mandatory, schools need to get kids genuinely interested, otherwise none of it will stick.

Yeah, though it's kinda wild how incredible Killer Instinct 2013 is by comparison.

Your disagreement is entirely in bad faith. You know damn well they meant as it relates to one's identity.

Don't forget the perk of forcing others to license the technology if they want to use it themselves.

And on their way out, they would intentionally knock something else into the fiery pit just to spite you.

I think French Toast is a great name for the little guy

In my case, I use a PCI card with an m.2 slot for my OS drive. I lose a PCI slot, but I already had a few to spare.

I use a 1tb ssd for the os/apps with my raid5 strictly for storage. Kinda nice if the os needs to be reinstalled or I want to migrate the raid cluster.
