give a man a computer, he doesnt become John Carmack.

a sword is only as good as the man who wields it

>Scott Miller wasn’t the only one to go before id began working on Doom. Mitzi would suffer a similar fate. Carmack’s cat had been a thorn in the side of the id employees, beginning with the days of her overflowing litter box back at the lake house. Since then she had grown more irascible, lashing out at passersby and relieving herself freely around his apartment. The final straw came when she peed all over a brand-new leather couch that Carmack had bought with the Wolfenstein cash. Carmack broke the news to the guys.

>“Mitzi was having a net negative impact on my life,” he said. “I took her to the animal shelter. Mmm.”

>“What?” Romero asked. The cat had become such a sidekick of Carmack’s that the guys had even listed her on the company directory as his significant other—and now she was just gone? “You know what this means?” Romero said. “They’re going to put her to sleep! No one’s going to want to claim her. She’s going down! Down to Chinatown!”

>Carmack shrugged it off and returned to work. The same rule applied to a cat, a computer program or, for that matter, a person. When something becomes a problem, let it go or, if necessary, have it surgically removed.

You must have speedread the very first sentence.

Impressive that Carmack.

He forgot to put the word "port" all over his post. A console port will outperform a pc port (but this due to the mindset of "lel buy better pc")

>>741775526
Console devs squeeze out every bit of power they can
PC devs don't care as much + kills performance
Mobiles have progressed a lot since, being unable to properly cool is their main issue

This doesn't really surprise me or alter my judgement of Carmack's character. Autistic auteurs only care about their obsession.

And then you realize it's all smoke and mirrors at lower fps at lower resolution with all lighting completely gutted

>>741776517
So shit and piss everywhere wasn’t a problem? Fucking cat people.
