No, but we need to have a nice long talk about how much the lot of them free ride on the US healthcare system to develop drugs, treatments, and more.

Curation is a weasel word for control, honestly. II think we are seeing a rush limbaugh effect; people are shocked that AM radio allowed limbaugh and hannity to thrive and blame the platform; same with social media and Trump. I didn't

No, all you need to disprove this is to look at the achievement rates for beating a game. When barely 1/4 of people finish the game, which ideally is what a developer wants, the idea that players muddle through is a bit much.

The issue is that people end up at age 40 with no ltr, no marriage, and no kids, and end up as fodder for this article. Because it gets a lot harder to find your ltr then; women generally are at the "last chance kid" stage and hav

There's so much wishing and hand waving based on ideology here that it honestly is annoying to read many articles.

This is incredibly stupid. This is just going to make games even more unprofitable to make for their developers, and push it towards live-service/F2P games over traditional ones, since account selling is prohibited. Its hard enough to

This won't work, as remote work only affects a tiny percent of all jobs. Most people don't have the option due to the structure of the work; those that do are a tiny percentage of the whole.

The ebook takes up no space, and can't be damaged or lost. It doesn't even have physical dimensions, so if you want you can read it on a tiny ultra portable screen or a large tablet for ease of use. All ebooks have large print opt

It's not that they don't like to compete. It's that over time that the bar gets raised so high that they can't. People get too good while their skills don't increase as much or remain static. Or the effort needed to

I think also that any competitive game over time will optimize for the experts or be optimized by experts. Fighting games is another example, and a lot of rhythm games are. MMOs that focus on PvP too. I think some people on reddit argued th

I have lived without one, and for that time in my life, i was limited to ten miles in every direction, unless i wanted to spend an hour on a bus. I don't think people here get how limiting that life can be anywhere outside of a huge ci

Not only do some of us don't want visitors, we'd love to completely withdraw all support for the EU and our military bases there, too :) The amount of complaining the EU does when it's been free riding on The USA's forei

I don't believe they will increase. I don't think people get that making something a little less sucky doesn't really result in appreciable sales. Even if he improves the graphics a little, it's still going to be a dated

I'm not sure. Look at the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, for example. Reuses a lot of assets, not really known for any graphical prowess, pretty much functional at best graphics. They sell a ton of them. Same with the Atelier games, th

That's a pyrhhic victory though. You'd essentially convert trucking into retail, making a semi-skilled workforce as well as small entrepreneurial one into a just-in time near contract workforce with high barriers to entry to start

This is the male version of "being basic." I cannot, for the life of me, see organizing and playing a twenty one kazoo salute for a dog I loved. Dear God, Ilse made him change his clothes. The article is so bloodless.

A lot of the problem with environmental stuff here is that people don't find it a burden because it neatly dovetails with the way they like to live. It's easy to spend time hunting fresh foods and cooking because you love to do it

It helps if you have the disposable time and income to do so, and if you live in a large enough metro to make use of it. If not, well, trader joes is an hour away in the state capitol by car, and your staples place is walmart, or worse, dol

Don't make universal statements about how easy or better something is then. It can be a lot harder for others. It's easy for some peole to give up a car; for others its three hour commutes.

OP, your shift changes. You no longer work 9-6. You now work 4-12. How easy is it? You now no longer live in a metropolis. You live in a town of maybe 15,000 people. The nearest Trader Joes is an hour drive away. Again, how easy it is? You

There's no "engagement." It just ends up with banal "I agree" posts that add nothing to the article. And it doesn't add many to them, Polygon's comment sections tend to be tiny and not worth reading, for e
