The final boss now shoots projectiles at the player. I tried adjusting the timing of when the boss shoots the projectiles, but I either have the boss fight being to easy or it being borderline impossible. I should probably accept that the game will have an anti-climatic boss fight.

I thought about having the boss drop some McGuffin item that will end the game, instead of just opening the staircase, but I don't know what kind of item it should be.

BSD celebrity death 

Mike Karels died on the way home from #BSDCan, at the age of 67.

gearty-delmore.com/obituaries/

This man spent 40 years working on BSD. His code appears in #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, and everywhere.

If you have used the Internet, you have used code he wrote.

RIP, sir. You changed the world for the better.

What's probably his last talk: "I don't have much to say," followed by a spellbinding eighty minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=XSziyKlG1w

Adding helicopters near the start of game dev:
"A Helicopter is a Vehicle."

Adding helicopters late in game dev:
"When you think about it, a Helicopter is really just a very advanced type of Door."

sorry, I just don't believe that the homeless, all at once, with pretty much no precedent, deciding to go around LA stealing fire hydrants.

They're going to burn LA down.

A license is what you get when politicians steal your rights & sell them back to you.

@beardalaxy @skylar I felt that way with Steamboat Willie going into the public domain. literally anyone has the ability to make an original Mickey Mouse story now for money, but all I've seen people doing is the equivalent of graffiti. same with Winnie the Pooh. felt just as crappy as when some libtard reboots a classic franchise to spew their garbage.
