I think it also has a very impressive refresh rate for an e-ink display. It's actually usable as a monitor for reading, writing, programming...

I forgot to type it in that reply (hence redundant 'understand'), but also something as common as discussion. If you talk with a pedantic person he might be 100% accurate but prevent it from moving forward. This is called obstruct

There's a term for this: "level of abstraction". Also "level of detail" when it comes to computer graphics. He hasn't said anything remarkable here. To move faster, to understand things at a grander scale, to u

ad. 3: it's an ugly truth, but it makes sense. People often want friends which can provide something for them, even if it's pleasant company. What can a desperate person provide? What can a desperate friend do other kind of friend

A very old example, but Quake 1 did. It came out at the time when everyone was thrilled by DooM 2, the game that took the world by storm. Quake 1 was the second game in the row from the same developer that did so. Diablo 2 was hotly anticip

I like GOG and Humble Store very much, but they suffer from other issues. It takes many days for a patch to reach these stores. Many developers rely on steam overlay so much they don't implement "show FPS" feature. Modding or

The word "fan" actually originates from "fanatic"! I think video gamers have accumulated a lot of learned helplessness. We're supposed to believe that matchmaking, clients like Steam, Origin, Galaxy are about conven

Okay, I was a bit lazy and picked a name off top of my head. There are definitely worse actors.

There are forum threads and video reviews contrasting what was promised and what was delivered.

The mere fact that CP2077 is still called 2020's biggest game launch is a testament to how much overhyped the game was. Biggest by what measure? Nah. Most marketed.

Marketing hype backfired. People are angry not just because the game was released buggy and unoptimized (although maybe standards are higher on consoles in this aspect). People are angry because they were promised a groundbreaking game, a l

There's a rumor on a Polish website that CP2077 underwent a major plot overhaul in the middle of development. According to this hypothesis, supported by some early quotes, there were initially going to be 3 mentor characters to choose

It sounds like you're dealing with narcissists, one of the most toxic kinds of people possible. You run into them eventually and they're good at influencing people and masking themselves. Pointing them out to others does no good u

There was a scene like that in one of Robert Sheckley short stories. The author was one of main inspirations for Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy). I highly recommend Robert Sheckley's short stories if you enjoy witty,

It's true. Often reviews are split between excited and outraged people. Those who write 'yellow' (as opposed to green or red) reviews on Metacritic are often those who can see nuance, weigh pros and cons.

Portal, the game by Valve, has some rabid fanboys. I only played it this year because my computer was unable to handle it. I was disappointed with how easy and short the game was. Style over substance for someone who enjoys Baba Is You or R

I deal with this by explicitly seeking sub-5 reviews. I read them to see if criticisms mentioned bother me. I used to think I was a little paranoid, but now I'm going to double down on this.

I'm thinking about possible approaches from time to time. There's the ethical aspect, but also removal messes up threaded comment systems. A common workaround seems to be to leave the removed comment in place, but make its content

I think Christianity and Age of Reason (Enlightement) are both to blame. Christianity says humans were god's best creation, Enlightement - the pinnacle of evolution. I heard Islam has, or used to have, a much friendlier approach(nothin
