I think it was S3 Virge. Remember playing Tomb Raider with smooth textures.

Can’t stop playing Balatro since picking it up. There’s so many achievements to do. Even finished Jokerless challenge, took about month.

Otherwise Factorio, of course.

Christopher Columbus, who discovered Americas, thought he was heading to India.

That boils down to maps. With a few helper functions it’s not a big deal. I can’t remember when I needed to unmarshal JSON into map last time, tho.

I’ve already made this choice. Switched from C++ to Go, and now I never want to touch another language at all. Since I’m not writing kernels or embedded, Go is pretty fast for everything else. Not very popular in gamedev, but that’s just a lack of 3rd party libs, specifically native graphics support.

As for other languages, I can’t justify unnecessary complexity that is generally welcome by those language communities. Go is straight simple yet powerful, and I admire that.
