Copilot for Visual Studio is just bad. How can something as simple as automatically including selected code in the query not be possible? lol. And the diffing feature always breaks. I just gave up in the end.

Not a single comment mentioning UEFN? Epic's failed attempt at copying Roblox? Epic has been pissing money away paying "creators" to churn out slop "red versus blue" modes/maps for Epic's meta-verse. A lot

Fortnite, one of the world's most popular FPS games, has the notion of stamina. In my opinion it has been poorly implemented and it's incredibly frustrating at the best of times.
