I guess the flip side of "don't contribute to a project unless you are intrinsically interested in it" is "don't contribute to a project you aren't interested in unless you are cap…

Both the Z80 and the 68000 were launched in the 70s.

Many engines do exactly that. http://gafferongames.com/game-physics/fix-your-timestep/

>Physics are always tied to framerate. There is not a game physics library in wide use that is independent of update rate. In practice what usually happens is that the physics libr…

This is a valid question, not sure why you're being downvoted.

I could kinda see your point of view in your other posts ITT (though I disagree), but what? The entire point of this discussion is that their patent application is discouraging oth…

How else would you reduce the amount of blue light emitted by a monitor using a CLUT except by changing it to reduce the amount of blue light emitted?

I said "obvious and trivial thing to do once you know that blue light affects melatonin production. " In the past people did other hacks with CLUTs (like some early 3D games baking…

Monitors are not perfectly calibrated, so if you send one a raw sRBG image, the result will look subtly wrong. To fix this we have monitor profiles (mappings from sRGB colors to th…

It's the "patent pending" part that sucks. They're trying to patent the idea of changing your video card's CLUT (color look-up table) to reduce eye strain, which is a fairly obviou…

You can certainly have both types, but it's annoying and sad that the people whose jobs are to write about video games can't tell the difference between the two, and routinely writ…

Isn't trivializing their ideology a good thing?

No perceptible performance hit on a modern machine? Absolutely. I'm sure you can run 100 copies of Doom simultaneously in Javascript or whatever. No perceptible performance hit on …

Thank you for not taking it that way. From-scratch recreations of games and renderers are always cool, and you're absolutely right to not obsess over the performance of a Doom leve…

That's not how I saw it, but in any case, it should be clear that the guy is not above lazy, sensationalist clickbait.
