Other games: So many bugs!!!
Conway's Life: I have no bugs, not even a single.
Bosco's rule: I surely have some bugs, but they made me far better.

EDIT: I'll make a backtracker CA for all reversible rules. Useless.

(In this contest "rule" and "CA" means the same thing)

And then someone in my team, I think H. H. P. M. P. Cole or Confocaloid, answered a question (I don't remember what exactly) with the answer "February 23rd, 1582."

On February 23rd 1582, the little-known German polymath Johannes Wasserchef published a text on cellular automata with the end of the book describing a c/10 spaceship in B34/S12.

Still life drawn by a famous artist loaded into Life: meaningless methuselah that makes nothing apart from gliders, blinkers and lots of still lifes
The smallest known unsynthesizable still life in Life drawn onto canvas: meaningless randomness that doesn't even look like a scribble

MP3 of absolutely "unbreakable" music loaded into Life: meaningless lines of methuselah that evolves differently when slightly modified
The smallest known true-period period 17 gun in Life converted to MP3: noises of no meaning

The most overpowered game save loaded into Life: gibberish that contains nothing notable enough to post in forums
The smallest known 31c/240 spaceship in Life loaded into a game: corruptions

Maybe CA isn't compatible with everything else. But who cares?

Unfortunately, just after this, dvgrn and Nathaniel retired and decided to add two more mods: hotdogPi and JP21. Haycat2009 and I became mods of our own forums, HaycatGrounded and ColeFactorio.
…

I suspect that this is going to realize as hotdogPi became a moderator…Why this is not fire?
