Mat Dickie

Every industry has one. The free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules. He says what no-one else will say and does what no-one else will do. Fuelled by raw passion, he seizes an art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes it sing. His peers hate him but the public love his style. At once he intimidates and inspires; breaking down the walls that secure some yet block others. Welcome to MDickie.com - home of the games industry's first true 3-dimensional character! Whether he's the "hero" or the "villain" depends entirely on your perspective...

Look at this badass motherfucker, /prog/. You'll never be as cool as him if you only keep making toy programs.

Dwarf Fortress is an enormous programming failure. I still remember how somebody wrote an OpenGL wrapper for it which doubled its performance (yes, it uses fucking OpenGL, can you believe that?)

It's the typical program that you could run through a profiler and make about 50 times faster in a few hours.

It makes me want to puke. A shame because the game looks somewhat interesting otherwise.
