    My 20 year dislike of RoR is finally justified, regardless of me not seeing this coming.

      I mean sure, it was a bit buggy, but holding a 20 year grudge on Risk of Rain seems excessive. Especially considering it came out only 12 years ago.

      Same. I didn’t use RoR before it was cool.

      (Honestly I just didn’t like the syntax of Ruby and there were tons of great alternatives already by the time I was looking)
