A heavy-weight memory-intensive high-level slow language which is the latest "hype", even though severs using Node.JS are notorious for their lag spikes due to random stop-the-world garbage collection.

Whoever the fuck says Node.JS is "lightweight" is retarded. Hello world for C linked to musl commits 4kb of RAM and takes 0ms to run. Hello world with NodeJS 14 commits 34MB of RAM and takes 397ms to run.
Node.JS is a sick old dog. Let's put it out of its misery and get a young puppy named Go.

Stick Nodes 

A stickfigure animation program designed for mobile devices, created in that year no one remembers of 2014.

Made for beginners to learn, well.. animation. And when they move to any other software to animate they're basically fucked because they don't know how to actually draw their material and animate it like everyone else does.

As such, a beginner software attracts many children, and if you animate on Stick Nodes older than 20 what the fuck are you doing with your life?

Which is why everyone in the Stick Figure community thinks they're noobs because children don't exactly have the best sense in a discord server when bragging about the edgy demon scarf wearing oc with a backstory that makes Batman look like James Cordon. Also, the teens on Stick Nodes are usually assholes.

So, advice, don't join a Stick Nodes discord server they're toxic as fuck
"Wait bro, you animate on Stick Nodes?"

"Yeah"

"Ew cringe"
This is a type of resource which you farm in Rust. Nodes are essential to survival and requires a great deal of farming to supply your base with them.

Jane: come back with about 30k stone and 6k sulfur.
