Hacktoberfest 2020

Hello and welcome to another thread made by me, this time it's about hacktoberfest!

Now that we're into October it's a great opportunity for people to contribute four different PRs to the repo and recieve a free t-shirt and stickers.

Register here!

It's free! What are you waiting for!

Make four prs between October 1st and October 31 anywhere in the world, and have them approved by a maintainer or merged. Unfortunately closed PRs are no longer counted towards the goal, but it's not too hard to get a PR merged on our repo!

(This event is run by GitHub and DigitalOcean)

Sincerely and all the best,
bobbah 'bee brown

the actual reward isn't really the purpose, it's just providing any amount of motivation for people to code

the rules have been updated by digitalocean/github to help prevent PR spam:
- PRs only count on repos that opt-in to the event (ours has been opted in)
- PRs only count if they are merged or have been approved by a maintainer

any contributions prior to this change are constrained by the old rules, but anything moving forward is only counted under the conditions listed above.

you can read more about that update here

God, what a gamer that developer is.

How else can he play sonic the hedgehog with just one hand? His serpentine hands wrapped around his bodacious cock while staring at at speedhog on his personal genesis console. God, how can he text his mother who is trapped in the hospital while toejam and earl is blasting from his classic novelty emulator box?

And HEAVEN FORBID he gets a PR he has to CLOSE.
