This code makes me really unhappy

Although I am really desensitized right now. Earlier today I had to review a PR for that guy that maintains that one project that has things like 8000-line functions of mostly nested ifs. And they won't let me reject them anymore with "BURN IT. BURN IT ALL"

it's de-obfuscated, a human didn't write it (in that form) thankfully

Disassembled. Still pretty obfuscated.

EDIT: on a close look this is not C, so not disassembled, just obfuscated.
