Honestly I was discovering cool new stuff on Spotify -- for about a month after joining, then it just plays me the same stuff over and over

The failure mode of any medium becomes its defining feature. Texture warping is the PS1's vinyl record clicks, pops and scratches.

In my experience it usually also means "You'll have a much harder time when you DO have to code something because we're trying to hide all the scary details from you", which makes everything that much worse.

I've done similar things on a microcontroller -- pulling functions over serial then calling in to them. If you're on a modern machine you may need to handle the write xor execute lockout in memory management or like.. a BUNCH of other potential failure points

So in C, everything is bytes, *including functions*, which means main can be a char array with raw machine code into it (and so can any other functions)

Were the hitboxes ever *actually* smaller? Like maybe for fighting games where the characters are completely different, but I can't imagine that flying in any other kind of competitive game

I hear some of the cloud apps show a fake hourglass 'working' cursor for a split second in response to CTRL-S, just to comfort the people who hit it instinctively and panic if the computer doesn't respond as expected.

You don't use music theory for arps? (quietly hides my notebook full of chords and chord inversions in semitone offsets for every song)

I mean, when they reduce "virtual worlds with unlimited imagination and expressive potential" to "let's all use avatars that look exactly like ourselves and go to virtual offices for virtual meetings!" Yeah. I can imagine that.

Every tool carries a fingerprint, especially in its defaults -- the curse of an 'easy' tool is that most of what it makes looks the same, and the easier it is, the more 'identical' looking stuff gets made. (In fairness, many important details, like good writing, won't show up in screenshots either.)

Oddball suggestion: Try Tyrian -- old MS-DOS game (open sourced and ported to everything for free) with fairly forgiving gameplay, a full on storyline and a so forth.
