A few of my bookmarks related to game development and realtime graphics programming.
You can use gh-readme-scrape to bulk download some of the content here for offline reading. For example:
gh-readme-scrape mattdesl/graphics-resources resources/ -e pdf,pptx,ppt --rename
This will download all PDFs and power-point slides into a folder called resources.
