Isn't c++ overkill for most games? I think with good architectural decisions you can make decent 2d and 3d games using only what's available in c without the higher level concepts introduced in c++? Do you think I'm being stupid here? Am I missing something? I'm only just starting to learn c making simple games leaning heavily on Raylib and ECS architecture.
I found him in the pipework under my bathtub.
Update:
After researching house sparrows and listening to it's call everyone here was absolutely correct, if it walks like a house sparrow, squawks like a house sparrow, it's probably a house sparrow.
I took him outside near some bushes since as a fledgling he was likely leaving the nest when it ended up finding its way under my bathtub. As soon as I got outside he called to his mother and immediately an adult house sparrow landed in the tree above me on the lowest branch watching. When I released him he hopped into the bushes and soon after the adult followed. She must have been searching for hours since I heard scratching under the bathtub in the early morning and only found him around 10AM. I can hear sparrow calls even now so I'm very pleased to report a happy ending.
I honestly couldn't believe what I was reading in r/linuxsucks101, a bunch of sad angry people.
