This week I’ve not done very much. I’ve played Roblox and helped my siblings with their various Minecraft projects. I also intend to play the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 VR mod now that I’ve got a slightly better GPU.

I had a different post drafted for this week about the Sims 4 live mode and how broken it is. But instead another migraine. I’d power through but looking at screens is making me throw up. Next week less pain, more complaining.
C++ is a wonderful language for making horrible code.
There are two major schools of thought about how you should write software. Here's what they are and why people argue about it.
A breakdown of how this game faltered when the franchise was given to a different studio.
A video discussing Megatexture technology. Why we needed it, what it was supposed to do, and why it maybe didn't totally work.
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
A long-form analysis on one of the greatest horror games ever made.

My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2012.
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
