That is a great idea.
- sasas 4mo agoHow do you feel about this book mirroring your prior art in both format and structure? Were you consulted beforehand? [EDIT] - I see in the Keen book's source git commit logs that you reviewed and assisted with proof reading beforehand, so may we assume that this is all above board and sanctioned by you?

- LarsDu88 4mo agoImitation is the greatest form of flattery! I suppose there's still Quake 3 Arena and DOOM3 to complete the full "John Carmack" early 90s to early 2000s technical overview series. Or maybe something with the Sega Saturn. I heard the Sonic X-treme team worked so hard to make a 3d Sonic game for that platform in the mid 90s that multiple team members had to go on medical leave!
- dmit 4mo ago> Imitation is the greatest form of flattery "... that mediocrity can pay to greatness" is the rest of the quote.
- spacechild1 4mo agoThis quote is attributed to Oscar Wilde, but it seems like he never said it. In fact, there is no direct source for this particular quote by anyone. Even the shorter version "Imitation is the greatest form of lattery" is much older than Oscar Wilde. The full quote apparently did not appear on the internet before 2012. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/01/no-oscar-wilde-did-not-say-imitation-is-the-sincerest-form-of-flattery-that-mediocrity-can-pay-to-greatness/ https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/01/no-oscar-wilde-did-not-say-...
