Oliver BoothI often hear "C++ is faster than C#", or “Python / Java is slow”. This irks me, and here's why.
Emulators are the reason you have so much popularity today, targeting them because it's "piracy" is a brain-dead dense fucking move. And now you target MODDING ENTHUSIASTS? Do you realise how many enemies you are making?
Fuck you, fuck your company, go make something that can compete with Xbox and PlayStation because god knows that's the only way you'll survive.
The American
Dear friend
On March 7th, a friend of mine from the US will be landing in the UK for the first time. I will - from this point onward - refer to him as “The American”.
"Indie" vs "AAA" is not helpful
Back in the days of old, only large studios could produce and publish games. Huge companies like Atari, Sega, Capcom. It was simply infeasible to make something that would be as successful on your own. Today that's no longer the case. Increasingly rapidly, ever since the boom of 2009, a whole new era of games has entered the scene.
Why Unicode is amazing
Lately I've found myself engrossed in the inner workings of Unicode and its associated UTF encodings. Today I'm going to talk about them, and I hope to get you as excited as I am about it, because frankly the solutions that the Unicode Consortium has come up with are genius.

I have a hero complex. I do, I will admit it. I have the overbearing tendency to try to fix everything wrong in the lives of those I care about, as if it's somehow my responsibility to do so; when I inevitably face the fact that I shouldn't - or worse can't - do anything about it, I feel like I've done more bad than good. Like I have personally failed them.
How (and why) I'm rewriting Unity documentation
Taking a stab at redesigning something that is long overdue.
Today I'm learning: How to juggle
Dear friend
A few years ago, CGP Grey uploaded a video that - in essence - suggests one ditch the concept of “new year's resolutions” for a variety of reasons. Paramount among which being that it's basically impossible to stick to them solidly. Frankly I agree; the concept of “new year, new me” has always been lost on me. I think we should always be striving to better ourselves, the new year shouldn't be the only excuse to do so.

Dear friend
Did you ever use to play old console games like Road Rash? Did you ever notice the skybox in games like that depicts a mountain or skyline that is unreachable? I, for one, loved that.

Aujourd'hui je voudrais vous écrire en français. Je vous en prie, pardonnez mon français. Mon niveau c'est environ A2/B1 donc ma grammaire n'est pas parfaite.
