Can you expand a bit on why you pulled the plug because of there being “no way to make it work like it’s ‘supposed to’”? I’m actively working hard to improve at Overwatch to try and break into the tiered competitive scene, so any reservatio

What do you mean when you’re talking about learning deeply about the psychological mechanisms of procrastination? Do you have any links to start with that? It’s something I’ve struggled with my entire life, and if there’s something I can do

Depends on the podcast maybe? The only ones I currently listen to are D&D podcasts so it’s not like I’m learning anything. It usually makes me want to do work on my own D&D campaign and be creative instead, if I’m not just enjoying

Here's my real account saying: I'm continuing to play Overwatch. The Overwatch developers aren't responsible for this mess. And I'm trying to get good enough to make it to at least the semi-pro level, which means taking

If you haven’t heard of it yet, Subnautica is the last game I’ve played that truly felt wondrous to play and hooked into my brain in a major way. Highly recommend, one of my favorite games of all time I’d say. (Up there with Undertale and S

The “or better” tagged into JVM applications really needs to go away. Realistically, most JVM applications do not have as good performance as native ones. Yes, it’s possible to run better, but it’s very hard to create code that JITs to so

I, personally, feel somewhat offended by this characterization. While it’s true that I can stay up too late playing some video games (have to be specific ones to get me invested enough), I can do the same for other things like binge-watchin

There seems to be a perception that anything running on the JVM is going to be slow and look bad. Considering I work with Java every day in a gigantic Swing application, (IntelliJ IDEA, if you didn’t guess) and it has great performance for

JavaFX actually has a lot of reactive elements in its design. Basically every attribute of any GUI element are an “observable” type which allow you to register handlers for doing stuff when the internal value changes.

I feel like I've seen people say more than once that you can do things like this to improve the performance of C++ to what you see from this post with the "C with classes" style and reimplementing various bits of the stdlib.

I usually read this at least once a year. It makes me laugh, and then bitterly weep as I realize how accurate it is. It’s well-written enough that I read it to my (relatively non-technically) wife and she understood the vast majority of it.

To hopefully give some encouragement: you can for sure play all modern games on a game controller with only a single hand, but it might take time to learn how to do so. There is a speed runner (who holds at least one world record) that has
