I no longer really play games, but I once played a lot. More than I care to admit. One day I became interested in game development itself, and started reading about the psychology of why we play video games. I became fascinated by a book ca

I politely disagree. I'm sure you can figure out how this reads for anyone who isn't British.

I do something similar. My favorite thing about it is that it allows me to keep momentum. When I start to get bored of whatever I'm currently working on, I can open up my ideas file and daydream about the next thing. Having something e

The thing is, regular people have been under the impression that computers are capable of generating complex imagery by themselves for quite some time already. About 10 years ago I was visiting family, and my uncle -- an older guy who enjoy

I wasn't thinking of it as a public threat, more of a personal log of people who I don't consider trustworthy. I unfollowed a lot of people over the last year who had turned to pushing scams. The problem is, my memory is short. I&

I looked up how to pronounce a word the other day and found a 30-second YouTube video. I expected it to be a looping track of someone saying the word over and over, but what I got instead was 25 seconds of someone describing the word's

One example would be a browser game where left click places a block and right click removes a block. You wouldn't want the default context menu appearing every time you right-clicked.

Yes, I believe they're two sides of the same coin. Buying an NFT did two things: A) it gave you the opportunity to flip it for a higher price (this is the most visible way that one can make money from NFTs), and B) it signaled to the c

Damn, I lived in Belgium two years ago. What a missed opportunity!

I don't think they fell for anything. I think it's more likely that they saw an opportunity to make some money and had a loose enough moral compass to go through with it. I kind of wish I kept note of everyone who took part in the

I've never bought a case before, but I have a brand new iPhone sitting in front of me that I think is going to need one. Why? Because it doesn't lie flat on the table. The camera lens protrudes enough to lift one end of the phone

At least Twitter has an appeal process. My Instagram account was switched off without warning. If I try to log in on desktop, I get a message telling me to "confirm your information using the Instagram app to try to get back to your ac

I think the hours I spend here go towards satisfying my need to feel part of a community. Without it, I suspect I'd spend the same amount of time on another social media site.

Yes, I have been using a computer for quite some time now. I still think it's a bad feature!

by dorkwood 4y ago
I also found this feature depressing, but for a different reason: it took away my autonomy. It was as if I'd come home to my living room only to find that someone had changed all the art on my walls to something else.

There's also seems to be a cultural stigma against walking, although I don't know how widespread it is. When I lived in California, people would actually laugh at me for walking places. "Only homeless people walk", I was

When I was younger, I was really put off by the idea of having to provide estimates for tasks that I'd never done before. Now I realize that the manager really just needs to put a number into their schedule so they have something to ta
