The best thing you can do in Feng Shui is break into someones home and rearrange their furniture just enough to give them bad luck.

You're thinking of Shadowrun.

I've heard it's good. Rick and Morty is usually good but it has terrible fans.

Fatal isn't even the worst one I've played outside of how offensive it is. There's a weird Russian RPG I tried that involved specific rules for exactly how and where to roll your dice, and explicitly banned you from doing anything not written in the rules. And the rules only let you buy a thing in a town (only one though), fight (in specific areas and specific times) and travel (across a 100% randomly generated world with no landmarks or way to go to a specific location).

I thought the tone of the animated series was weird.

The comic (especially the earlier years, which I'm more familiar with) presents Dilbert as a nerd who survives an uncaring and irrational corporate existence with a mostly sanguine attitude. In spite of this environment, Dilbert often manages to come out ahead and find satisfaction in his work. Overall, Dilbert is written as a sympathetic protagonist.

The animated series presents Dilbert as a clueless, whiny nerd which the universe endlessly dunks on. He never wins, he never gets ahead, and he is the butt of every punchline. The humor is more likely to be laughing at Dilbert than with him. The whole thing felt weirdly mean-spirited.

I know Adams was involved in the animated series, so I don't know what made the writing feel so different. Maybe he's just become more of an rear end in a top hat over the years?

Scott Adams is a raging misogynist, homophobe, and nazi-sympathizer. Everything he creates is by definition worthless.

Isn't he one of those folks like Tila Tequila and Kevin Sorbo, who were relatively normalish before having a brain injury and going all hard right wing?

I've been reading the local paper and their comics as an excuse to get out of my office in the morning, and even there he has plenty of subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at women in the workplace.

The Dilberito was a vegan microwave burrito introduced in 1999 by Scott Adams Foods, Inc. and named after the comic strip character Dilbert. The product went out of production in 2003.[1] First announced in The Dilbert Future and introduced in 1999,[2] the Dilberito came in flavors of Mexican, Indian, Barbecue, and Garlic & Herb and was sold through some health food stores.

...

Scott Adams's inspiration for the product was that "diet is the number one cause of health-related problems in the world. I figured I could put a dent in that problem and make some money at the same time." His aim was to create a healthy food product that also had mass appeal, a concept he called "the blue jeans of food".[3]

...

The product failed to catch on in the market, leading Adams to, "several years and several million dollars later", sell off his intellectual property and exit the business. Adams himself noted "[t]he mineral fortification was hard to disguise, and because of the veggie and legume content, three bites of the Dilberito made you fart so hard your intestines formed a tail."[4] The New York Times noted the burrito "could have been designed only by a food technologist or by someone who eats lunch without much thought to taste."[5]
