Sometimes you need to see all the available tools. Replace the "talent" with a little "technique".

Cannot draw 3D with perspective? Use isometric-ish projection with graded axes.

Cannot do music? Learn music theory, some scales and so on.Maybe an easier instrument.

Of course it will not replace a person with natural talents, but it can help to overcome those beliefs.

It is the same as Nicanor Parra's:

There are two pieces of bread. You eat two. I eat none. Average consumption: one bread per person

"Limit cycles" come to mind. How you translate "cycle detection" from and to a continuous space?

This is like when kids start to ask "stupid" questions, when in reality those are sometimes useful data coming from another paradigm.

An addiction can be sometimes a masked emotional need/problem.

-I want porn, because I carve intimacy

-I want to smoke, so I can relax or be seen as Y.

-I drink a lot of coffee because I dont have time for Quality Sleep.

Sometimes complicated things are just bad abstractions: you dont have a clearer framework yet.

>It is built for the joy of building something. It s built for fun, both in its coding and in coding with it. It is not the fastest language with the hottest features. It is not the most stable thing or the best tool for every or even any job. It likely will never be those things. If you use it and you get utility out of it I am happy about that: that is amazing and excites me! I genuinely believe slope to be a useful and fun language to use and I enjoy working on and in the language.

This applies to FORTH. Cool name tho.

LittleBigPlanet was a blast on creative/user-made maps.

You could have a fairly stupid concept (free-falling sponge, with a shark that follows you while only in water), copy the whole level and mod it to whatever new state you wanted.

Anything that has a sane package system (apt, etc), and is able to install LXDE and use it out of the box.

Then, put dwm/[your fav. wm] on top of it, with some autoservices for bluetooth, mtp and stuff.

Not only ports, but the actual original source, see Fabien Sanglard's work: https://fabiensanglard.net/

He has a "[Game Engine] Black Book" series where he touches old games, its full development history and so on. The Doom one is pretty good.
