I worked on a game mechanic. Had to rework it over 8 times (now its the 9th time)

I always overlooked. Then it suddenly didnt work and it was because i missed "scripted = true" line. I melted in shamr when it was pointed out

That's when de adhdhood? adhdority? Is needed. Get another adhd have a look at it. They can point mistakes and, instead of getting angry for it, you'll be pleased!
