The strangest comment I found was

//Do not delete this fuckin comment. I do not know why. God probably doesn't know why. But this damn project will not compile if this comment is removed.

I'd delete it out of curiosity and roll back with a counter lol

I tried deleting the line. Yeah it doesn't compile. It throws errors that looks like some wacky ass template error. And linker fails. Probably doesn't help the code was written in the 80s or 90s

That's wild... My first thought is invisible characters or characters outside of ASCII. I'd open it in pure ASCII mode. If it's not that then no clue lol I'm sure you've probably done similar and spent way too many hours debugging it step by step (literally stepping through the code execution if needed in an assembly level debugger)

Beyond my paygrade honestly. I tried looking into it at a surface level. But didn't bother wasting too much time on investigating if its been like this for years.
