The Sacred ASCII Guardian
Ah yes, the ancient art of ASCII cat comments. When your code is so complex that only a feline guardian can protect it. The programmer has summoned a sacred ASCII cat above their particle system declaration—because nothing says "don't touch my code" like a cryptic cat drawing that took longer to create than the actual functionality it's guarding.

I Saw The Variable Name And Knew What I Had To Do
The code shows a variable named ps for a ParticleSystem . Above it are ASCII art comments that look suspiciously like the PlayStation logo. Some developer couldn't resist the urge to add this Easter egg when they saw "PS" – because apparently professional codebases need more corporate logos drawn in ASCII. Management probably thinks this increases shareholder value.

How Game Developers Shower
Ah, the classic game dev shower routine. First, you think you're being clever by enabling that fancy water particle system. "Just call GetWet() and we're good to go!" Then reality hits you like a bucket of cold NULL pointers. The NullReferenceException is basically Unity's way of saying "you forgot to actually put water in the shower before turning it on, genius." It's the digital equivalent of standing naked in an empty shower stall wondering why you're still dry. Seven years of game development experience and I still make this rookie mistake at least twice a week. Who needs actual cleanliness when you can just debug water physics until 4AM?
