   I think the reference to Sparta in the parent comment is the icing on the cake.

   I think if the phytoestrogens found in soy-based foods had an effect on testosterone levels anywhere close to estradiol, we'd see feminine transgender people using them as part of hormone-replacement therapy. It tends not to happen tho

   QuickJS is crazy embeddable too, being written in C89 and only a few source/header files. You might need to work around a few situations if your platform doesn't have all of libc but otherwise it's incredibly accommodating.

   I can't tell if the worst part of SR&ED is management pulling you away to document your work for tax credits or management hoping you'll lie about your work for tax credits.

   Sounds like a game developer's competitive advantage waiting to happen!

   I feel like the lack of CD-ROM dissuaded smaller-budget developers (eg: Moon, Vip Ribbon, etc.) and RPG makers like you mention, but I don't know if lacking a CD-ROM ultimately harmed the Nintendo 64's value proposition. The Resi

   The free codecs might not necessarily be designed or optimized for the platform you're working on. Porting an open-source player for your particular situation might cost more in developer time than simply licensing Bink. Bink's de

    I did some quick Google searches for the best-selling PlayStation 1, 2, and 3 games in Japan as those consoles were spearheaded by Tokyo. [1][2][3] I didn't see very many Eroge games. I do agree that they're a notable market, espe

    It looks like the symbols for dog (犬) and person (人) are at end of each verse. I can't speak Chinese, but I'd imagine the line rings well hearing the ordering of subject/object/verb like that.

    What do you feel Tokyo’s values would be? Bring Kutaragi back and revisit new/different CPU architectures?

    Perhaps you could elaborate a bit? I’m not sure I follow how Marxism and Feminism eroded values to change Western business practices.

    I'd be curious on how this philosophy translates to the internet today. There's lots of public infrastructure that we use, but it's hard to picture surfing the internet or watching Netflix as the same as broadcast television.

    I think there's a bit of honesty to it as well. I bet the burglars need to see themselves as breaking into Mordor and challenging Sauron to save Middle-Earth. As much as Congress houses difficult things like partisan deadlock and lobby

    I think the people there are looking for a grand narrative with the feeling of a struggle between two sides. My guess is that Washington is attempting to avoid creating that environment to minimize conflict. That's why we see the burgl

    Do you feel it'd be an amphibious invasion would be a bit of a pyrrhic victory within 20 years? I feel like the PRC would be unpopular with the citizens of Taiwan and not look good internationally. My impression is that the PRC was sab

    My parents would always buy salted Adam’s, and I remember finding the transition to unsalted difficult but satisfying.

    Sounds great; sign me up! I'd love to watch a Star Wars movie with a budget under 10 million.

    I dearly wish creators inspired by Star Wars in their childhoods could have reimagined it when they came of age.

    I think a lot of Xbox products and services are meant to funnel into Azure or other cloud services these days.

    I’d be curious to see how feasible a rollback-based implementation would be for emulating the game.

    I never had a Nomad, but did you ever find the console inconvenient to use? One thing I find Nintendo always does so well with their consoles is the ease-of-use and complimentary library. I feel like a clunky handheld that plays Gunstar Her

    I was thinking of critique more along the lines of Carolyn Petit's article for Polygon.

    I think a lot of the critique people had towards the game has merit. Or, it strikes me as a strawman to reduce their ideas to "ideology".

    I feel like if there's a video game that comes out with cyberpunk themes for our time, Zuckerberg won't allow it to buy ads on Facebook in the same way Hearst tried to prevent Citizen Kane from having newspaper coverage.

    I mean, both aren't ideal things. We should be mindful of that and seek to improve on that whenever we can as individuals and as a society.
