    Your game will actually likely be more efficient if written in C. The gcc compiler has become ridiculously optimized and probably knows more tricks than you do.

        If you’re writing sloppy C code your assembly code probably won’t work either

    • Programming was never meant to be abstract so far from the hardware.
    • 640k is enough ram for everybody.
    • The come with names like rust, typescript, go, and python. Names thought up by imbeciles.
    • Dev environments, environmental variables, build and make scripts, and macros, from the minds of the utter deranged.

    They have played us for fools

    Roller coaster Tycoon is one of a lifetime game.

    Now everything is electron or react shit. Gone are the times of downloading fully featured software under 10mb.

      I don’t think old=good is a good mentality though, lot of people seem to have it

      All the old software I know and use is exceptionally good, however I’ve heard about and chosen to use it because it’s survived the test of time (also because it’s still actively maintained and has had thousands of bug fixes over the years)

      Vscode and obsidian are pretty good and they’re electron, discord’s alright, pretty sure steam uses some kind of web wrapper as well.

      Real issue is electron is very accessible to inexperienced developers and easy to do badly, but I imagine people back in the old Unix days got an equal amount of shit bloated software

        Survivor bias is a thing and part of the reason people are nostalgic for old media.
