That's a bad illustration. The letters are there.. they're just slightly lower rez. Like going from a 256x256 space per letter to 128x128. Is there a difference? sure. Can you read it perfectly fine.. of course. You could probably

Games are designed to be addictive, so once you stop its like quitting soda.. eventually you lose the taste for it. Though, I noticed a lot of satisfaction from my life comes from interactions with others. Games no longer encourage quality

Swift has some of the simplest code for what it’s trying to accomplish. Any complexity is opt-in. Error handling is great and works well with async. Protocols and enums are amazing. It’s keeping up with new patterns and techniques such as

It doesn't have to be a mental burden.. Just write all your variables as mutable then let the ide automatically correct them to immutable. Ex: "Warning: This variable is never mutated. Would like to make it a const? <Fix>&qu
