meaningful error messages are important!
for example, thanks to past-me I know exactly what the error is, where the error is and what to do!
Also: Working on a new progress bar for the #ProgressBarSimulator

**TL;DR:** A frustrated developer left a harsh error message for themselves in code.

The image shows a code snippet from a `switch` statement's `default` case. It logs an error with the message:
```csharp
Debug.LogError("IDIOT! ADD barTypeEnum!");
```
This is likely a self-reminder to handle missing `barTypeEnum` cases, but the wording is quite harsh. The `break` statement follows the log, ensuring the program doesn't continue unexpectedly.

**TL;DR:** The harsh self-reminder from the code has now appeared in the Unity error log.

The image shows the Unity Console with three error messages:
1. **ArgumentOutOfRangeException:** Index out of range.
2. **Custom Error:** *"IDIOT! ADD barTypeEnum!"* from `UnityEngine.Debug.LogError`.
3. **NullReferenceException:** Object reference not set to an instance.

The second error is from the earlier code, where the developer left a blunt message as a reminder to handle missing `barTypeEnum` cases.

Are you an indie game developer/know of an indie game with an interesting progress bar?
Then we like to colab with you/the devs and add it to the Progress Bar Simulator!

**TL;DR:** Retro-style screen with a progress bar and indie game titles like *Super Blood Hockey*, *There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension*, *Rise to Ruins*, and *Flotsam*.

The image shows a retro computer interface with green pixelated text. At the top, it says "Progress Bar Simulator" followed by a green progress bar. Below, the text "INDIE BAR" appears in the center. Four colorful indie game titles are displayed:

- *Super Blood Hockey* in bold yellow, red (dripping like blood), and blue.
- *There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension* in dynamic white, red, and purple text.
- *Rise to Ruins* in a crumbling stone style with "LOADING" beneath in green.
- *Flotsam* in quirky red and white text over a wavy blue progress bar.

The screen mimics a vintage terminal setup while showcasing the games.

@GabeMoralesVR i mean, as long as you don't build an API or plugin or whatever where other systems rely on, using anything but semantic versioning is totally fine.
All of our games have a "I feel like this version fits" and otherwise just incrementing the 2nd or 3rd segment.

I mean the #ProgressBarSimulator is now in version 0.9.9.9g ^^"
