Almost definitely just some random guy making an homage. I think the games/engines were pretty niche themselves.

This tickled a half-forgotten memory. I was into a few "ASCII" "game engines" when I was a kid, ZZT and MZX. There was definitely a Hitchhiker's game on one of those. Doubt it was official, of course.

Bad comedy or badly mixed, sure. There's mood, tension, pacing etc. to consider, and the odd funny or more lighthearted moment can help, not hurt, if it's done right.

The mathematician in me is confused and angry

There's no point spending twice the time making something that corresponds 1:1 to code - unless the code is truly horrific, and then you've got bigger issues. One generally assumes people involved with a project will know or learn relevant languages.

It's more commonly used for things that are less obvious from the source itself - like "what's sent between the client and server in this handshake" or "what is the overall architecture of this part of the code"

Flowcharts may be a bit more common when studying algorithms in general

Edit; from your other comments, you seem to be talking about protocols, not algorithms. An algorithm is a set of steps to do something. A protocol is a description of how different systems interact such as in a chat application.

Sounds like tuna salad, which is delicious. Add spring onion or red onion or whatever oniony thing you want. Possibly a bit of celery if you're into that (small pieces so it's not stringy).

Try some citrus zest and/or juice. The juice is only if the rice isn't too acidic already.

Oh, and if you're into spice, sriracha goes on a lot of different things - it is chili sauce with vinegar and garlic, which seems like a good fit. If that isn't your thing, you can still bring the spice level up with cayenne or whatever chili flake. "Chili powder" could work but often has some un-onigiri-like extra spices.

That links to literature.cafe directly, too, but nice try. People have been saying kbin is screwy with this.

They'd do both, and most likely be intentionally dishonest about which is which. Or just not give a shit, the fines aren't that large for a behemoth like them.

I personally don’t believe that therapy works

You're wrong, then. It doesn't necessarily work drastically and for every single person in need of help. However, claiming it does not work period is just wrong.

Direct kbin link since apparently it can't deal with the !:

On kbin, that links to lit.cafe the site, instead of viewing the community through kbin.

Sure, it's a strategy. It will lose you a lot of money and make some casino very happy, but it is that. Sounds like Martingale, Wikipedia has an article that explains why it doesn't work.
