Honestly, it's hard to say, since I think I'd get tired of just about anything if I did it for too long/without any changes. Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are pretty close to me (and I played the former on

For the given case, look for large amounts of added content that just happen to match up with a competitor's. Very few legit sites will add 1000+ articles/pages in a short amount of time, especially not ones that don't relate

Depends on the format. I've never particularly cared much for fiction, so my pre internet reading was mostly text books, encyclopedias, biographies, books on philosophy, etc. That's kinda been replaced outright by reading similar

At least from my perspective it's not so much whether someone puts themself out there, as much as the format kinda treating the authors of comments as interchangable. Like, it's unlikely I'll recognise a name from a previous

Nope. Sites like this and Reddit aren't places where I've ever become close to anyone, let alone become friends with them or ever met up in real life. I think the format is just not well suited to making real connections between u

Some Reddit ads still do. It's kinda hilarious when it happens, though most companies are 'wise' enough to realise what will happen.

Depends on the community. Some subreddits I used to go to migrated off the platform or closed down entirely, but many others just reopened with new staff and proceeded as usual. Not sure if activity was affected sitewide, though it feels a

Depends on the project. New features and things do get separate branches that eventually get merged in once tested thoroughly, especially for website development projects. But it definitely depends. A website usually benefits from feature&#

I mean, percentage wise it's likely the majority of jobs in software engineering are in fields where people won't get killed if things go wrong. Very few people die because a website goes down, a video game or desktop program has

Sure I'd learn to code again. It's literally opened so many doors in my life it's ridiculous, and gave me a far better job than I'd have gotten otherwise. As for how I'd go about it... probably more through experien

Not in my experience. For one thing, this is usually what the peer review process, tests and QA team are there to fix. Almost everyone's work will have at least some things that need improvement/fixing before they can go live, but

> To commit > Commit often These are probably the most important points here, and for pretty much any other creative process you can think of. So many good things get lost because either nobody had a backup, or the only backup didn&#x

The most interesting thing to see here will be what the modding scene does once/if the project is finished. Because generally, decompiled games are a hell of a lot easier to mod in any notable way than ones where you have to code any a

The thing is, YouTube ads are the worst way for creators to monetise on the platform. They pay terribly compared to things like sponsorships, Patreon, merch sales, etc. Unfortunately for YouTube, most creators hence wouldn't really be

Yeah these anecdotes are great. One of the ones I found amusing was how the windmills in Perfect Dark were reskinned autoguns/turrets, presumably to implement the movement aspect more easily. As a result, if you get too close to it wit

Personally, I think box-sizing being content-box by default was probably the biggest misstep here, and something that genuinely feels at odds with how 99% of the population would design or build something. The fact IE got it right initially

Yeah I agree with this. Tweeting is more akin to posting to a forum or mailing list than writing a blog entry. Heck, social media in general is basically the forum/messenger equivalent of the current era. Could some people use a social

As someone who's also playing through the game for the first time now, I can both see the ways in which it holds up, and the ways it doesn't. Personally I don't think the characters feel out of place in the Mario universe, si

Nope, I've never been logged out of my Google account by mistake. Are you using Incognito mode, or an extension, or some sort of proxy setup?

And there's nothing wrong with that, it's just not open source. It's source visible/available software, which has been a thing for ages. Old school forum scripts like vBulletin, Invision Power Board, XenForo and WoltLab

I personally use it as a stepping stone to explore different fields I might not have thought about before, or learn about subjects I wouldn't have looked up otherwise. It's kinda like a human run discovery algorithm for weird nich

This. I'm not sure why it's so difficult for people to grasp that open source in of itself is not a business model. It can make money sure, but for the most part that's neither guaranteed or likely. If anyone can take your co

Not sure why it's such a weird assumption that humanity is generally self interested and treats those in their immediate group/area as more important than anything else. For many people, the issue is that they'll only do anyt

Tech is probably the only practical way that could be fixed, as unlikely as it is. Trying to force people to make do with less is not a winning proposition for a political party, and many people are not going to change their lifestyles will
