- frou_dh 11y agoJust the other day... Terry Davis showing a game using his own graphics libraries, compiled with his own compiler, running on his own OS: https://youtu.be/EsFPq6I13vA?t=300 https://youtu.be/EsFPq6I13vA?t=300 Though I suppose the article has a commercial/organisational slant.
- gorena 11y agoWell, that guy's kind of a huge racist, so an ode to him is probably in poor taste: https://twitter.com/TempleOS/status/337551685285195777 https://twitter.com/TempleOS/status/337551685285195777
- mildbow 11y agoI didn't take the time to delve in to other tweets, but if you know more about him, can you tell me whether, based on what you know of him, he is saying "black people are niggers"(0) or "I won't be shamed into not using a word"(1). Based on just the tweet, it sounds like #1. If so, I can only repeat "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". And, furthermore, I don't think that, in itself, says he's racist.
- jeffreyrogers 11y agoHe often makes those kind of comments. But he's schizophrenic, so it's probably not entirely his own fault.
- s73v3r 11y agoNo, it's the first one. He's a pretty big bigot and racist. He's also been diagnosed with a form of schizophrenia, so take that for what it's worth.
- yAak 11y agoDwarf Fortress is definitely one of those cases. I was (kind of) surprised it didn't make the list. Beyond it being an ongoing epic masterpiece of a single man (with contributions from his brother), what's particularly amazing about Dwarf Fortress is how much it has inspired and influenced OTHER games being produced, despite being an extremely niche, unforgiving, and unapologetic game.
