It's a sad moment for me. I got into Dilbert at the tender age of eight years old. I don't know why I liked it so much when half the jokes went over my head, but I loved computers and comics, and I plowed through every book at my local library. It was my real introduction to software engineering, and it definitely influenced me in many ways that certainly shaped the man that I am today.

I never agreed with him politically, and I honestly think he said some pretty awful stuff. However, none of that changes the positive impact that his comics had on my life. Rest in peace.

Dilbert's Desktop Games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbert%27s_Desktop_Games) was part of my childhood. As a slightly older kid in Ukraine, while I hadn't heard of Dilbert, I could understand the setting with my knowledge of English and some idea of how tech companies worked. (I already wanted to be a programmer.) I thought Techno Raiders was a pretty cool game, but also, this game collection was an introduction to the idea that the world of office work was kind of ridiculous and people were kind of incompetent.
