You start talking about your engine as though she is a woman.
If you are on a sidewalk and the covid goes beep beep
Just step aside or you might have a bit of heat
Covid covid runs through the town all day
Can the people ever change their ways
Sherwin the covid's after you
Sherwin if it catches you you're through

All improvements make the engine weaker.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

You spend endless hours posting about how mad you are that you never got your promised engine update patch, or continuously rehashing old tired debates about a certain clone/not clone.

Sometimes when I am revisng my algorithm and expect big improvements, i have a strong feeling of anticipation, which is like the feeling I get when I am going to get laid after a long dry spell.Thomas Mayer wrote:In fact my Quark was in love with Leila while I operated Leila for one of the CCTs...Fguy64 wrote:Haha Thankfully I'm not that far gone.Michael Sherwin wrote:You start talking about your engine as though she is a woman.
