I said it was from 2011. I think I confused it with another talk I&#8217;d been watching. The one I discussed on the show was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C5FUtrmO7gI\">Truth In Game Design<\/a>, which was uploaded in 2017. So it&#8217;s not that old at all. The slide I&#8217;m talking about is at 19:46, and looks roughly like this:<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"c\">\r\nfor ()...\r\n  Input ();\r\n  Simulate ();\r\n  Render ();\r\n<\/pre>\n<p><strong>09:10 Jon Blow Fan Wank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>11:36 Fractal Reasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>13:58 Playing Guitar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>18:00 Educational Software Sucks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>20:40 Learning to Type<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the LGR video I mentioned in the show:<\/p>\n<p><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T-6d6X4E-3w\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T-6d6X4E-3w'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p><strong>31:46 Myst<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think the series lost its way, but it was great while it lasted.

Something like Xonotic, Battle for Wesnoth, Endless Sky, Wyrmsun, or VegaStrike* may be just the thing where you can add small features you want without having to start the entire project from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>Vale,<\/p>\n<p>-Tim<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>53:26 Mailbag: Parenthood and Screen Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Deeeeeeaaaaar Diecast,<\/p>\n<p>My wife and I have recently been discussing the possibility of becoming parents.<\/p>\n<p>Both Shamus and Paul have been down this particular path several times before. And as far as I can tell (from the various snippets of twenty-sided lore that I have gleaned from the site over the years) you both seem to have been highly successful in raising your children to be capable, well-adjusted, and comfortable within themselves and their family units.<\/p>\n<p>You are also both technology-literate and both avid gamers, which I believe makes your opinions especially relevant for the question that I pose to you:<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any opinions or advice as to how to raise children in the modern era of ubiquitous technology?<\/p>\n<p>Some elaboration (if needed):<\/p>\n<p>On one end of the spectrum we seem to have parents who try to limit their child\u2019s \u201ccorrupting\u201d exposure to \u201cscreen time\u201d at all costs, whilst on the other end we have parents that let their young children watch YouTube unsupervised, and then blame YouTube \u2013 an open and largely unregulated platform for creative expression \u2013 for not having exclusively family friendly content, when their child views something that they really shouldn\u2019t. Where is the appropriate middle ground for you gentlemen, with regards to a child\u2019s use of internet, smart phones, videogames (including age-appropriate content ratings) and technology in general?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you sincerely for all of your collective works and the enjoyment that they bring.<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Nick<\/p>\n<p>(A note to the comments section: I never contribute to the comments, but I often read them. So if anybody else would like to weigh in on my question, you can be sure that I will read your comment also.
