DM me your opinions on memory allocation
The code is mega simple but shocked at the amount of particles you can handle with just a little bit of SIMD and a single thread of a forloop even on a crummy laptop.

sometimes unreliable too, packets can drop, users can bail out.

latency and resiliency become far more important than raw per-instruction perf.

Which thing in particular?

You know what- it doesnt even matter the answer is yes. My god it is all going bad so fast.

I really liked the old days of the internet when everyone had their own shitty html 1.0 website made in notepad.

Everything was so fast and add-free.

Now the internet is just like 5-6 big ass sites.

Definitey, old school text guides are so much better than video guides for many types of games.

You can search the text for the actual thing you're stuck on. and theres lower chance of spoilers

Difficult as in hard to solve? or difficult as in a boatload of work?

For hard to solve:
1. See how other people solve similar problems
2. Shelve it for later but keep thinking about it
3. Ask does it really need to be done?
4. Call up my boys (beg for help T_T )
5. Grind at it for months on end

Word. I played the LIVING SHIT out of a freaking shaman king gba game when i was a kid and had no money- it was the only game I owned.

Was basically speedrunning that thing from start to finish daily. I can't get past the first few levels now as an adult cuz its honestly not a great game lol.
