So this is the only game I've ever backed (and I refuse to even pre-order games) so I guess it shows how much I wanted to believe. I only paid ~£30 so I'm not too bothered, but it is sad. Honestly, if you try the game, for the fir

I feel as that I should be offended, but then I realise the statement might have a sliver of truth in it.

Yes! This is what I'm thankful about on /r/science and HN. A few times I find an article and as a layman, do not really fully understand. I generally look to see if it has been submitted on /r/science or HN to see w

I understand in some respects, but for me I just read the headline and go "Oh, that's interesting!" and then read it or watch the video. If I do not like the headline then I do not read the article. I do agree that subtitles

Oh that reminds me of a funny story. I used to work for a company that sold various software and one month after their purchase, they'd get an email asking if they would like to review the product. If they ignored that, after another m

I used to smoke, about 4 years ago gave up almost completely. I never smoke (or drink) 99% of the time, but when I'm on holiday I always buy a pack of cigarettes and also I'll generally have a smoke and chat with my brother when h

I understand, and I do agree to some extent. However, I did enjoy being able to wait for a month and picking up a set I wanted to usually < £1 rather than buying loot boxes over and over. It's the same I'd do for CCGs, which is

There's a lot of speculation going on here, and I do not think it helps. I feel incredibly sorry for his family, especially his sister. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to walk in on a family member murdered in such a brutal

When you're looking bad, of course it may not have been that bad, but if you're in the middle of it of course you may have a different experience. And I understand what you're saying about treating foreign tourists well, but

I truly hate loot boxes, and I'll never buy any personally, but the way it worked in Dota 2 originally was a little different although it did change over time. At first you could just buy item sets, which I didn't bother with, but

Completely off topic, but I'm a front end developer who dabbles with a range of languages and also enjoys trying out new languages, but I've never really used a 'back-end' language and I've been trying to find one t

Yeah, a little oddly worded. It's basically saying visit the Firefox/Chrome store to either download OR find out more about the add-on. I'm not sure why the website I'm on can't tell me more about it.. But I agree w

I completely understand this, but I've seen more people complain that their company (in the UK mostly) is not letting them work from home, or did and are now demanding that people go back into the office. I personally agree with you, w

I always wonder how people come up with these statements, is it just anecdotal? To add my own, my company was shifting to working remotely for the development team gradually, but now our CEO has been impressed with how well we adapted to wo

I’m not sure what my problem is, but I find it incredibly hard to focus on some things for any meaningful amount of time. For example, I’ve been diving back into C recently and going through and exercises takes me forever. I notice I’ll do

To be 100% honest, when I first read the changes to whitelist/blacklist I thought, "Well, that's pretty stupid" but after reading your comment and a few others, it does actually seem quite racist. Like someone else men

I can’t remember where I read it but apparently the etymology of the word dog is not known. Old English used hund (or something similar) and sometime between then and now ‘dog’ turned up. Of course we could still say hound and people would

Humans as a rule tend to do multiple things thinking that what they’re doing is the best for them and then turns out it’s not. Although for me it’s a ridiculous thing to even bother trying to measure. The problem isn’t whether it’s slightly

You're right, but for some reason the whole SEO thing just winds me up. It's my opinion that 'good' SEO makes sites worse for actual people to use.
