I make games with my own game engine.

Distillation is divine judgement against the American labs for stealing the entire Internet. Hard to muster sympathy.

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

@valigo Thanks, for helping my to internalize this. 😊

@rfleury Is this idea (on a high level) comparable to the concept of an ACID database? (text buffer -> DB file, patch -> transaction)

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

@pikuma and jai 😄 at some point... faaaar in the future... 😅

Which Button produces more maintainable code?

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

@rfleury Seems just like a bad worded joke to me. I would be surprised if they actually thought that the move to digital-only is somehow "good".

@falconerd For me, I add a field to the already 1kB megastruct and edit the 1000-lines "update_entity" function 😅

The answer is token optimization.

Are you unrolling your loops?

It's a shame the Steam Machine has to launch at a time when components are so expensive. I hope they stick with it until hardware prices renormalize, because this is a device I want to see become mainstream.

"being smart has no value anymore."

this is the mentality that paves the road to hell

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

@SinkingStarGame The game feels great so far! Loved the mining puzzles (exploration) and the heros puzzles (combining mechanics). Like many others I found the mirror puzzles to be the hardest. Not sure why, maybe because it feels more "rigid", or bc you have to "spatialy" think ahead a lot.

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

@cmuratori It should never have been the P. it should always have been the TSS.

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

@ThePrimeagen C'mmon man, t least we dont' have Greta Thunberg 😄

@Meteobji2 I used to teach engine development at a university. My honest take on this is: Do it. Creating your own engines even if basic compared with big commercial ones gives you an unique perspective and understanding that allows you to do things others can't.

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

@Jonathan_Blow This is extremely generous! Thank you.

[Samuel von Stachelski @SamvStachelski]

There has never been a point in my time as a programmer where I looked at the LoC net-change of a diff and thought: "A few more lines would have been better". Never.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

I think I figured it out

LoC is a terrible metric, but it feels so good seeing how many you can make
