I got to try Kirby Air Riders this morning at a Nintendo holiday showcase, and I wasn’t prepared for how difficult it was — and how bad I am at it. The Switch 2-exclusive racer launches November 20th, and it’s full of modes, collectibles, and new characters to play as. To be clear, there’s absolutely nothing chill about Kirby Air Riders.

Let’s look at implementing Conway’s Game of Life using a graphics card. I want to experiment with different libraries and techniques, to see how to get the best performance. I’m going to start simple, and get increasingly complex as we dive in. The Game Of Life is a simple cellular automata, so should be really amenable to GPU acceleration.

America has a motorcycle problem. Whereas the rest of the world views two-wheeled motorized transportation as transportation, the US sees motorcycles and scooters as toys. They're not something you use to commute to work or run errands. Instead, they're for riding to the coffee shop on weekends. This is a flawed line of thinking, and I'll tell you why, using two motorcycles as examples. But first, hear me out. I live in Los Angeles, which is famous for its hellacious traffic.
