People who think modern coding practices are bloated should study why certain speed running mechanics work. A lot of them stem from things we would never do today. We've removed entire classes of bugs by using "bloated" languages and tools.

But we introduce entirely new classes at the same time.

A Cuphead dev reacting to Cuphead speedruns is an interesting watch because he explains why all the tricks work.

Not really. We have more bugs because there are more lines of code.

And fewer lines of coke.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
