  • I was playing it again just a few years ago. The game aged like milk. With shit. Yes, milk with shit. But for its time it was nice, yes.

    Other games? In some of the older Test Drive games you were able to drive off the road, drive into the barn and ride over a chicken. It was a shock to me. It looked more realistic than a real life. And it was rain there. And you could use… no idea how they are called in English… those rubber thingies that clear the windscreen from the droplets or dirt… It was cool.








  • Sometimes things are simple. You just see an ugly thing and say “it is ugly”.
    You can apply some mental gymnastics, some philosophical voodoo, some psychological tricks, etc to make shit look like something nice. Moreover, you might even find a few people who sincerely like the shit. But shit is shit.
    And there is no any reason, except for spreading the fanatical craziness, to suggest shit to people who want a real tool to solve real problems. No, a few coprophiles don’t make shit an appropriate suggestion to people who just asked for some video.

    That’s not “arrogance”. That’s defense of new people. Now they at least won’t unconditionally trust whatever you say. Now they will see that the are other opinions on the matter. And rather strong opinions. Strong opinions don’t appear without reason. It worth investigating. Investigation leads to comparison of other options. Vimer lose. Common sense win.


  • Vim is a good option

    It isn’t. And it stopped being one 30-40 years ago. All it “goodness” holding on the fanaticism of those who spend too much time mastering this “editor” and inventing excuses to call it “good”. It the most counterintuitive interface ever.

    And no, I won’t stop pointing that. I wasted a few years of my life on this shit while being younger and trustier. I listened to advise of people who I hoped were more experienced and know better. Alas they were crazy fanatics.
