I found out why, it's because I used adblock to remove the element that detects where you place your spawn.

Rainbolt

Coworkers next to me are talking about all the weird things they know about Java and it is definitely all wrong.

TheNumberOne

Example?

PhiNotPi

Why did you adblock that element?

Rainbolt

@TheNumberOne "Connecting to a database and running a query in Java takes hundreds of lines of code."

"Nobody writes real games in Java because it is so slow."

Ugh. I just googled games made with java. All results are: Why aren't games made with java?

BrainSteel

Because you could write them in C++ instead...

TheNumberOne

BrainSteel

I see what you mean with google results now. Thats kinda sad.
