I've made a game with PICO-8 with my 6-year-old watching along with me and telling me what to put into it. It was a great experience. I do think it's very nearly almost too constrained, specifically in the code editor. But, it did

Same argument as normal: they don't want to platform that kind of speech, and it truly was horrible speech. Learn from it, remove the post, and move on. Not sure why this is news. It's a little bit of a narcissistic post, I think

I'll bet that most image requests will be within certain parameters. 2^x by 2^y. So you could probably pre-cache most real-world image sizes, and leave dynamic generation for 1-offs.

It's these kinds of absolutes destroying discussion these days. They are trying to kill bugs. So that people can eat. They're succeeding, maybe too well. Calling them names won't make more food or fix the problem.
