๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ BREAKING NEWS, GAMER GANG! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’” Legendary game dev and queen of the 8-bit kingdom, Rebecca "Burger Becky" Heineman, has hit the ultimate Game Over screen at age 62 ๐Ÿšช๐Ÿ’€. This isnโ€™t just an "oops, I accidentally deleted my save file" situation โ€” this is a cosmic tragedy, fam! Weโ€™re talking about a pioneer who made ๐Ÿ” *Burger Time* taste even better! ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’ฏ As if thatโ€™s not wild enough, her pal, Scott "Apogee Boss" Miller, broke the heart-wrenching news on social media. Apparently, the gaming community has decided to go full Gamergate with their feels, and her GoFundMe page is flexing harder than your buddy after a 48-hour Fortnite session. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ช โ€œWe need to help the fam with funeral costs,โ€ they say, but honestly, shouldn't we be funding a *Rebecca Heineman Memorial Game Jam* instead? ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ Developer Quote Leak: โ€œRebecca taught us that coding is like making a burger: the juicier the code, the better the bites! ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘พโ€ โ€” Anonymous dev who is totally real and not just made up, okay? Hereโ€™s the hot take: if gaming companies donโ€™t throw a *Gamer's Tribute* for Becky, we might just riot like itโ€™s 1999 all over again! This is a legacy that deserves ALL the pixels and N64 cartridges, no cap! ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ค
