I did iOS 3D game dev back in the 2G days where you only got 24MB of RAM to work in if you were lucky . Even in the later device with lots more memory, the amount you could use before getting a memory warning was small and varied wildly d

I wonder how much of the SF 30% was the closure of so many WeWork clones. My group toured several of them right before the pandemic hit and the prices were redunk. $1000/month for a desk and barely enough space to get in and out of it.

Going from low rez, point-sampled to high rez, bilinear filtered (+antialiasing if you are lucky) is a huge quality leap. Basically PlayStation 1 vs PS2.

Same. I was fortunate enough to be able to use one of those hundred thousand dollar SGI’s as a sophomore because of my lab job. So, in my dorm I had a Pentium60 capable of running Quake at 320x240 software rendered. And, in the lab, I could
