Hello, my team is making a game about an artificial world made up of code, and it is going to be having a lot of references to common programming terms. For example, the first major boss of the game is a giant robot called Fortron.
In the game there is a beat-up cyberpunk town with neon signs on various buildings, like shops, bars, etc. I was wondering if you guys could come up with generic names for these establishments, but have them also be coding puns. For example, “Stackzone.” It is OK for them to be cringy!
Taking a shotgun approach, here’s a bunch of mostly cringe-worthy ones:
Ada’s Lovely Lace Store
Floating Point Yacht Club
Polymorphism Magic Shoppe
Virgin Control Systems chastity belt shop
The Spaghetti Refactory
Singleton’s Bar

Maybe I’m not enough of a nerd to make bad puns… Still I tried!

I got to Spaghetti Refactory and busted up. I stopped reading there and was just going to quote that one line and say something like, “You could have stopped here, this one is great”. Then I decided to keep reading. You’re a genius. These are hilarious. NaN’s Math Books is too clever.
There are a lot of good posts in this thread – Inheritance Lawyers, Rigidbody Massage Parlour, Python Imports, etc. But I’m starting to wonder if @11clock was just trolling us to see how many bad puns we could come up with.
