As professor Farnsworth said when asked how many atmospheres the Planet Express ship could withstand: “Well, it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one”.

Nah, it's like "least worst"; it'll still be more bugs than game, but (allegedly) slightly less than previous Bethesda releases.

I mean... as someone who's had to port some .NET framework software to .NET 6... yes... but.

20 years old .NET framework code will keep working, sure, as long as you can find and install the correct .NET framework runtime, but maintaining it might be a different matter... you can code .NET with notepad, if you feel like it, but for .NET framework code you will need Visual Studio, with the proper SDKs... which might not be available in the latest version of Visual Studio (on occasion I've had to install VS 2019 so I could compile old .NET framework code in VS 2022).

And when you get it to compile you still might have to deal with third party tools (Crystal Reports, for instance) that don't work in modern .NET or later versions of Visual Studio...

And of course then you want to add something new to the code, which is why you went through all that trouble to begin with... but the tools for what you want to do are only available in modern .NET, or as nuget packages that won't work with framework... and you'll have to migrate the whole thing to the latest long term support version of .NET... which sure, is several orders of magnitude less work than rewriting the whole thing in some other language, and heavily automated... but is still a whole process.

But then of course there's the bits of .NET framework that got deprecated during the transition (or in later updates), or the third party libraries that never got updated... and you'll have to find or implement replacements for those...

But yeah, once you've done all that your refurbished 20 year old code will still work today, and significantly better than it did before... and if it isn't too ridden with windows dependencies (WPF and the like) it might even be portable to Linux or Mac, or whatever. And it'll probably still work (and do it even better) 20 years from now.

No one says no to some extra vitamins, but by that same reasoning cows (who'll happily eat the occasional small bird or rodent if given the opportunity) would be omnivores too. Dogs eat grass occasionally, sure (though mostly because it helps them puke the indigestible crap they've swallowed while you weren't looking), but an awful lot of what a real omnivore would consider food is literal poison to a dog.

Dogs are stunted and inbred wolves, and ~15-30,000 years of artificial selection, while enough to cosmetically and mentally deform a species into hundreds of more or less fubared breeds, is not enough to turn a carnivore into an omnivore; that kind of thing takes millions of years.

We used to do that too. Dog happily inhaled it, as dogs are wont to do. Eventually, dog had a stomach torsion. Had to have surgery. Miraculously survived. We kept feeding it rice stew (we're idiots, you see), dog kept inhaling it, despite warnings by the vet not to let it eat fast (how!?) and us trying our best (except not feeding him that kind of food, of course; as I said, idiots). Got second stomach torsion, second surgery. Didn't survive. Everyone was sad.

If your dog is medium to large (or smaller but with a wide chest) be careful it doesn't eat too fast.

Dogs seek "human" food, dog food, cat food, inedible garbage, their own (and other animals') shit and puke, that unidentifiable dead thing in the ditch, aww, look at the cute liddle bunny wabbit NO! Fenton! Drop it! Fenton! Bad dog! pukes Fenton drops what's left of the rabbit and inhales the puke in one slurp. Haks a few times, pukes it, the rabbit's entrails, that thing from the ditch, and what looks suspiciously like a used condom. Proceeds to swallow the whole mix again with gusto. Dogs want to eat everything and most of what they want to eat isn't really good for them, or is outright poisonous.

Dogs, despite their brains being so fubared by domestication and inbreeding that they'll try to eat anything even if it kills them, are carnivores not omnivores.

We are omnivores evolved to be able to eat all kinds of crap (we call several poisons plants have evolved over millions of years to defend themselves from predators "spices" and "recreational drugs"), dogs are not.

If you feed "human" food to your dog (or, more likely, if your dog eats it off the table or the garbage can despite you yelling at it not to), make very sure that dogs' methabolism considers it food and not deadly poison, because the dog's brain certainly can't tell the difference, nor would it care to if it could..

Yeah, publication order seems like the best option to avoid possible spoilers in the prequels.
