I'm surprised I didn't know any of that story but the biggest nostalgia hit in the article is not about early subs but about how awesome the 90s were (even if they sucked) before the world became connected. Getting an Internet con

When Rodney left it stopped being funny and slowly spiraled into generic romance and drama. Sinfest is a sadder loss. You will never see a bigger difference between first and last comic strip. The first ever Sinfest strip is still best Sinf

I know every country has a similar problem but I still think it's a failure of the state, even if it's so common. The police know who the criminals are, ffs civilians know who they are, yet they do nothing and only deal with occas

Local latencies are horrible already, most monitors will add a good 40, then input device tend to be horrible, a non gaming mouse can be equally high. We're fighting all that and you want to add a round trip on the Internet and encode

I'm not a manager, I'm a victim of 1:1s. 1 on 1 are a waste of time. Maybe ask your reports if they want them at all. If you have information for them you can always just email them.

All this has done was to get Chris Roberts out of debt and now seriously rich, get his wife to star in a film next to Gary Oldman and give his brother a cushy job. Delivering a game at this point would be killing the golden goose. Chris is
