"people bouncing when the project got hard" My point, in response to this specific quote from the person I was replying to, is that good people don't bounce when a project gets hard, they in fact do the opposite. If you disag

I wasn't attempting to troll here, my reply was directly to this claim from the parent comment: "they moved to a more normal corporate structure so they would actually finish projects instead of people bouncing when the project go

Brings back some memories. I remember macroing my magic resist up to 100. In the high 90s you'd have to flamestrike yourself hundreds of times for a point. It was really hard to nail the timing of the macro because on a bad die roll

Prophet 5 rather than 6, but the extremely distinctive synth in Rush's 'Tom Sawyer' still sounds awesome to this day IMO.

What type of games are we talking about here though? Removing the engineers from the loop potentially allows for a lot of rapid prototyping, but probably not a lot of shipping at perf on cross-gen console and PC architecture.

Our goldendoodle sounds very similar to this. She's great at "go see XYZ" or "go get ABC", knows all the party tricks, and will play fetch endlessly without ever wandering off no matter how far I throw the ball. If

How vigorous is said exercise? I go through this exact same pattern if I don't get enough exercise. If I do 60-90 minutes of treadmill/elliptical/rowing in the morning then I sleep like a baby for 7-8 hours and wake up fee
