if theres one thing i want in a font its to make it even harder to distinguish (if x == 0) from (if x = 0)

oh yeah the Jaguar also supported console linking

with a special cable you connected two consoles together, which let their DSPs communicate and linked their UARTs together. I think only like 3 games supported it, one of which was Doom, so you could do co-op or deathmatch with two consoles

thats the sort of stupid rear end font you make when you first hear ligatures are a thing and you want to just smash characters together for literally no reason

honestly, i don't care for ligatures nowhere near as much as i like it as a font due to readability of characters

basically im turbo loving mad the moment i cant easily distinguish l and 1 and I

I'd like it I'd it didn't have the stupid ligatures. I used it for mumps and it was great there but it fucks with visually parsing Java code because it replaces poo poo like != with some stupid crossed out equal sign.

also if you work in java with idea, you can just use fira code but disable the ligatures (i think). so far the ligatures haven't made me upset at any point so i don't care about them

IDEA ships with fira code but also lets you disable ligatures in your font even if the font supports them.

the ligature for == is significantly longer than the = character is; i've never once had a problem with this
