I've actually been thinking I should start bounty-ing questions to actually put the accrued rep I've got to good use. I just rarely think to go looking for good questions to highlight that way.
@DMGregory It is very considerate and kind of you to frame that it that way but highly inaccurate. I have very little knowledge in the realm of game dev or software dev and will likely never approach your rep level here across the same time frame.
@AlexandreVaillancourt yeah, C# template errors aren't as bad either. I guess they could make their C++ compiler make decent errors, but C++ isn't their creation so they don't give a shit
