    I'm mostly commenting on acceleration in gaming. The acceleration alone doesn't bother me for productivity. However, for gaming it doesn't matter what platform you are on accelerat…

    I understand what it means. There's an option in CS and it doesn't seem to actually do anything on Mac OS. Its one of the most popular games ever created and unlike many AAA devs V…

    It also depends on where you live. Some places the price disparity might be higher than others. Also if you're talking about dollar menu stuff or the stuff close to it, its about 1…

    It used to be 3-5x more than fast food. A burger with a meal + a drink @ Wendys is like $8+. The price of fast food has risen quite a bit over the years. I can get a burger and fri…

    Everyone's talking about the slower hardware. IMO the biggest hurdle to gaming is Mac OS's baked in mouse acceleration and whatever else makes 100% of mice feel absolutely terrible…

    Unrelated to your comment here but a while back you mentioned you liked some Space Cadet keycaps I had, but they are usually only available via a group buy. There's another one goi…

    I'd like to eventually learn to make a simple 3d engine suitable for a retro FPS. However, to start with I'd like to learn how to make 2d engines for side scrolling or isometric ac…
