Has it opened a Facebook account yet?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Well, it's already started to eat anything in sight.  (List of mergers and acquisitions by Facebook - Wikipedia )

FaceBook, the omnipresent toilet of the digital-dark-ages into which everyone dumps everything.
For "crimes against humanity" I call on FaceBook to be tried as an adult, rather than a juvenile.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

In the morning I sat down to take a look at my old code. Now it's almost 4 am again, but I did it.
A solution with 42 projects, among them my 3D engine, the UI running in the 3D engine, four webservices, an ASP .Net website, a WPF administration client and finally the unfinished game itself. XNA already was based on DirectX 8, which already was somewhat old when Mickeysoft decided to pull the plug and try something else. Without an alternative that would not require a total rewrite, the whole code would have been a dead end. Then MonoGame came along, which started where XNA left off.
Last week I ported my old test application that I used to try out my 3D engine and the UI without having to care about the huge solution. From the code side it was easy. MonoGame is almost 100% compatible to XNA. The graphics resources and especially shaders needed some work, but that also was a step ahead because it was not an incompatibility, but an upgrade over two versions of the shader programming model. It took me the entire day and most of the night, but now the whole project has a future again.
Here is a screenshot[^. What do you think of the background? I painted it in Paint.Net. It's not some picture I stole from the web and seamless in all directions.

Beautiful work! 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Very nice. Now go to sleep.

I'm sure we all want to learn what you have learned... You know, some articles... Now that you solved the problem of sleeping, you probably have all the time you need
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Very nice.
As someone already mentioned, it would be nice to have an article describing the difficulties and "gotchas" you had doing the conversion.

Why is there an Indian and Chinese forum under "Non-English" but nothing for everyone else? The Chinese one is deserted and the Indian one is mostly English anyway - though most of the content is incomprehensible to me

Because those two forums were specifically requested years ago.

 Don't Strines speak (a dialect of) English?

Yeah, well, now that the Bad Word filter has been upgraded it's a possibility.
