Only in the sense that Europe is an inalienable part of India.
Hey. Don't.
Great way to drive yourself crazy.
Big O notation was invented in 1894.
Seems like something that ought to be addressed as well, and should not be used as a justification for other lousy things.
People certainly did have a problem with them.
Stop it.
And yet you yourself said:
> I can make a Myst-class game by next weekend
Which of these am I to believe?
You said "for practically no money". How much are we talking about here?
> weekend-long indy game jam
There was apparently one at GDC earlier this year but I couldn't find any details about the winners. I did find https://www.genjam.net, the nicest thing about which I can say is that many of the examples appear to function.
I don't believe you can.
Yes, wide-bosomed Gaia, foundation of us all, this research is about the manner in which She did it, if it was one birth or two.
There might a few more things going on there than just density, perhaps operating on a national level.
Gaming got very corporate very quickly. Atari sold itself to Warner in 1976. Magnavox was a defense contractor. I don't have to tell you about Fairchild or Mattel or the Connecticut Leather Company. On the arcade side, Bally, Midway, and Williams had been making pinball machines for decades.
I'll grant you that there were a lot of "garage-start tinkerers" on the home-computer software side.
At no point in history was it ever thus.
The worst to my eye is the Alice in Wonderland one. What's going on with Alice's hair? What's the tea on the left being poured into? What kind of playing card has a 'C' (it can't be a messy Q as the figure on it is male) and why is there only half a heart there? What's with club on the jack next to it? What exactly is that black bird doing? (It's been a long time since I've read the books, what bird is that anyway?) How does the flamingo's body work? Is Alice sitting on it? Why are there buttons on both sides of the White Rabbit's coat, and why is it shaped differently on the left and right?
Please expand on why you think it being phony is a benefit.
