I've learned how serialization in C# works and how to make it work! And, holy mother of FUCKBALLS, is it a breeze compared to fucking with XML. I don't have to fucking box with element parsing code, making sure the nodes are read properly and that all the needed values are pulled and are as they ought to be!
This might seem trivial, but you do not know how fucking happy this makes me! For fucking ONCE, the code's doing the heavy lifting! With the Script Writer for Fire Forge, I barely have to lift a god damned finger to write scripts and have them output properly and decompiled/read properly!
FUCK YOU, XML!
(I'm so giddy and proud of myself, I'm actually kinda tempted to share my half-formed code already, lol.)
