   Totally agree. I made the same small game in Unity and Godot about a year ago to compare them. Learning and using Godot script was no big deal. The main difference was that I could use VS for Unity and it had a vim plugin, but if I wanted t

   I've used one of those one-word-at-a-time speed reading things before, and managed to crank it up to something like 600wpm before it felt like I was missing anything. It's crazy, worth trying out just for fun. Looks like the softw

    Have you tried one of those wacom drawing tablet/screen things? Is the latency comparable (or even noticeable)?

    I remember a counter-example to this (which may be a fluke) a few years ago when Burial got album of the year on metacritic for a spacey, ambient dubstep record. Maybe not super-niche but definitely not mainstream.

    Does it maybe have to do with how long a loan-word has been in use, or how commonly it's used?
