I was in similar boat as you, but I think we look at the past with rose-tinted glasses. You forget to factor in the time you spent to build the e-mail list, write a nice e-mail and send it, and repeat that every once in a while when people

Any 2D game basically, and some assets for 3D games as well. For examples of 2D games with great graphics, take a look at: Mark of The Ninja, Hollow Knight, Limbo, Stardew Valley, Rayman Legends.

I have seen similar problems right after using GMail or watching YouTube videos. Firefox would keep CPU busy even if I closed those tabs. I stopped watching YouTube on Firefox because of this. This is on macOS.

It was probably the easiest route. Instead of setting up a special website for it, they just made a blog with a couple of clicks. Project zero goes back to 2014. Perhaps the infrastructure wasn't there, or it started as a small pilot p

I don't have much experience with the exact topic, but anyone throwing phrases like "100x more difficult" very quickly loses credence with people. How do you measure 100x? How come it isn't 90x or 112x? Does that mean wh

We're talking Metal Slug here. It's completely linear game. Once you complete it, you have seen it all. Well, there are 2 branching paths you can take on some levels, so you should play the game twice to see it all. But that is it
