You may have heard that `FString` is case-sensitive and `FName` is not, but that is not the whole story. `operator==` is *case-insensitive*, so the following code will return `true`: ```cpp FString("hello") == FString("HELLO") // I am true ``` To add to the confusion, `FString::Equals` defaults to

My most commonly-used command-line argument is `-waitfordebugger`. It makes the game wait until a debugger is connected before continuining start-up. You can use this by creating a .bat file or by adding the "-waitfordebugger" to a Windows shortcut to your .exe.
