You know how they did graphics 20 years ago? They used real languages, like assembly and C. That's how they became good. None of this template-ridden, object-infested ``++'' humbug.

...and they couldn't get shit done besides very limited scope programs, and still had a bitch of a time writing them.
I liked the sense of hacking and adventure we had back before 3D graphics and hardware accelerators, when we would set a mode X and write our own scrolling trick, add some wavy scrolling text from a fixed-width full-colour bitmap font, yet another implementation of a starfield simulation with something we thought that made it unique, and the HSC tracker with some music ripped from somewhere, and there we go, a new intro to show our friends who wouldn't understand what the hell was that about.
Now? I've stopped writing OMG OPTIMIZED assembly shit and embraced my dynafag self. I no longer do BIOS calls and sinewave tables. Every day is about cudders and FIOC.

You don't understand 3D graphics and hardware accelerators.
