I'm curious as to how many problems rats really cause in a modern city. I live in a lightly forested area and have once or twice had to scare various rodents out of the attic and patch up a small hole they made, but that's about t

Normal spaced version: $2000-$3fff was made for the Ludum Dare #31 Game Jam in December 2014. It is actually more than just a game. Some of you will say it's crap, but we would point out that it's both a game and a piece of art. T

Cynically, a desperate attempt at restoring its own relevance, which it hasn't had since 2011. Not that I'm complaining; it's always nice to have more options.

TL;DR - The leaders of a highly-religious, homophobic, low-HDI, faux-democracy country get surprised when some of their people want to leave for greener pastures. Turns out that inventing a specific measure of happiness that makes your coun

Same here. I've generally found complaints about Google's recent decline to be overblown, but lyrics are one area where it's truly gone off the deep end. Even if I type in 2-3 lines worth of nearly-exact lyrics that show up o
