The more I improve my games' technology the more it turns into C code (even if it's all Javascript). Not a shocker that the simplest technology, the technology that stands the least in your way, the technology with the least technology in it, leads to the best performance and the broadest compatibility.

I've said it before: Technology isn't anything in itself, it's a thing that makes way for other things. All unnecessary technology is - not surprising - unnecessary. Which means that the least cool, least trendy and least complex programming language with the least community and least things to discuss about, is the best programming language.

Unfortunately C isn't native on the web. But if try your hardest to you make your code look and behave like C, everything gets better!

One who plays video games all day is probably closer to Buddhahood than anyone else.

my friend who plays the most video games works at a defense contractor, developing Massive Murder Machines, since it's a low-stress job that allows him plenty of time to come home and game all evening

i don't know if the second guy has attained anything approaching buddhahood, but i always admired him. since he actually played retro games on original hardware over and over rather than merely talk about CRTs (what most retro gamers do), he had all sorts of insights about the endless wonders hidden in these tiny pixel worlds

(also i feel obligated to spoil the fun by pointing out the buddha explicitly discouraged his followers from playing games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_that_Buddha_would_not_play)

Now, if you were to make a composite of those two people, you would end up with something like Palmer Luckey's life. Lol Maybe a Buddha discouraged game playing because they can disconnect one from reality sometimes, in the same way that a drone weapon tends to remove one from the consequences of their own decisions. When you automate killing with a disposition matrix, you end up with Ellison's AM.
