FAQ

But Dishpit, the Heroic Launcher is already a thing. Why not just use that?

Shut the fuck up, I don't care. Why not just use that, really?? Why not do anything? Why admire a butterfly in the distance, or enjoy the smell of fresh dew, or stare in awe at a sunrise during your morning run? I'm doing this because I can, and because I love programming.

Fuck you.

Okay but what about Playnite?

See the answer above.

It's 2025, why are you programming this by hand? Why not use AI?

Because AI is a cancer. Why would I want to press the Build-A-Thing Button and spend all my time debugging generated slop, glorified shit from a butt, when instead I can take my time and enjoy the process of building and learning and doing.

Fuck clankers.
