"TCP is evil. Don’t use TCP for a game. You would rather spend the rest of your life watching Titanic over and over in a theater full of 13 year old girls." OK

OK, I giggled at this! :D
- mysterydip 10y agoI'd add a condition to that to say don't use TCP for a realtime game. For turn-based games, it works great and the inherent benefits of TCP (retrans, in order, etc) can be used to simplify the netcode. On a related-but-not note, I wonder if 13 year old girls react the same to Titanic now as they did when it was in theaters? I'll find out in about 11 years myself but curious if anyone has anecdotal evidence.
