dont worry it also kinda took nanoseconds in the 90s, computers were also *really* fast back then

Mthe thing that kills games nowadays is file i/o and GPU bottlenecks
Kthats why ssds are such a big deal
Mi mean, let's see, on a 386, it's maybe a few memcpy operations
Kor were when they first arrived anyway
Kfile io is a big deal as it turns out
KThat would explain why everyone is so obsessed with M.2 and gpu bus-width
Minteger to string probably takes a few cycles
Lthats why i load everything i need into memory on startup :^)
Mthe rimworld strat
Ai wish i could still do this
Ai have to balance between loading enough so that the game doesn't become a loading mess but not so much that it maxes out lower end systems' system + gpu memory
Mfor god's sake people use a game engine
Lim lucky my games dont need much, and everything of mine fits neatly into 80mb of ram
A4k textures be like
Kif i was actually working on real projects id probs use a real engine lol
KHonestly I would if Unreal actually implemented C# support
Kthough idk unity sucks ass
Mi am the biggest shill for Big Game Engine
Kand unreal cant do c#
Munity's actually mostly fine
Ki hate c++ too much for unreal and i hate running netframework too much for unity
Lall the big ones are memory hogs :^)
Munity uses a custom mono jit it's not net framework
A(my game does use 4k textures but it will rarely ever load them, only on the highest ultra settings)
KExcept for the part where you have to wait like 20+ seconds after you hit the play button cause it's doing god knows what with scripts
Mif that happened you fucked something bad
KAnd then the occasional loading bar when you're not doing anything special because unity just hates you
Ktbh my singular issue with unity is the GC atm
Mi doubt coreclr gc is well suited for games
Kbut at the end of the day i just want to learn this stuff more than i want to make anything
Mi understand that
Tyou can do CoreCLR a bit
Munreal can do c# with sufficient effort
Athe gc is mostly fine
as long as you don't cause a ton of problems with it
looking at you, keen

Ai just don't like that C# has a gc to begin with
Mthen go code rust
Ai do
Kidk about coreclr but the current gc isnt great either in my experience but that might be the unity games i play being real bad about that sorta thing lmao
Abut i can't really use it for gamedev cause i still use oop a fair bit
Munity games are just coded poorly
Koxygen not included is such a clusterfuck
Mthe engine is fine
Mthe developers are just bad
Kfair enough lol
Lthen maybe the engine should better encourage people to write good code
Mlike i'm a diehard rimworld fan but that game's code is garbo
Mnot really what engines are for
Amost game's code is bad
Lif so many developers struggle to write good unity code maybe that shows something
Mmaybe they should read a book
