I was quite prepared to post helpful information, but then I read back a bit and found stuff like:

> [@Er....help?](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/er-help/7585/3):
>
> Yeah clearly this game isnt for me. Designed by idiots. Goodbye.

Upon seeing that I decided that he’s on his own.

> [@Jimbo\_Gee](#):
>
> Just for future reference for the rest of you. Some of us actually have to go and work during the day. We dont all have the luxury of sitting in our parents basement and playing video games all day.

That one was particularly egregious; an uniformed blanket insult to the whole development team. I can’t speak for everyone involved, but I own my own house and it doesn’t even have a basement, I work all day and often most of the night, I take care of my aging parents on a daily basis, and I still manage to turn out some crappy code around the Witching Hour every night.

For free. Because working on DDA is my hobby, not my job.

So basically what I mean to say is that I don’t do tech support for people who open their conversation by insulting me and everyone else who’s working on the project.
