OpenGL & Vulkan are like Portal & Portal 2
OpenGL = Portal
Vulkan = Portal 2
Both are made by the same people, have the same motivations, are made in the same language. Experiencing the former is a good experience. However, experiencing the latter is a whole other dimension of interesting. OpenGL is fun to learn, and Portal is fun to play. But I’ve decided to start using Vulkan, and god damn, there’s a lot. You have to enumerate through and interface with devices, you have to create debug messengers, validation layers, buffers, arrays, etc.. Portal 2 gave me that same feeling. (Spoilers for Portal 2): [Falling down into Test Shaft 09 was the moment I realized this game is a lot deeper than I thought. You have to manage repulsion and propulsion gels, tractor beams, faith plates, lasers, and more.] Once you use OpenGL/play Portal, you start to get good at it and can crank out a playthrough/project in a few hours. With Vulkan/Portal 2, it takes a hell of a lot more dedication, but by god its worth it.

can’t currently afford the print copy of the fabulous @lackadaisycats work?
maybe your local library will buy it in the meantime! hand for scale.
reading a hard copy of what I found years ago on the internet is cool in its own right, but the over 20 pages of bonus content are what’s really tempting.
note about the back cover: this is what was facing out as I carried the book in my arm out of the library and into the streets. certainly didn’t make me look like a psycho I’m sure.

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!
