This is straight up gaslighting. The original language says NOTHING about NFTs and barely anything about acceptance use or community guidelines. Hasbro is down 40% YoY. It's very, very plain that the entire goal of this was to drive pl

I love Dwarf Fortress and it's the inspiration for many modern simulators (and I put my $30 for Tarn with this release), but I do think that Oxygen Not Included, Rimworld, Factorio, et.al. have surpassed it. My main issue with DF is th

I'm definitely the odd one out here. I hate any streaming service because the value of my music is being able to listen to that music whenever I want...including 20 years from now. I have used iTunes since the very first iPod and still

Back in 2000 when I was originally learning Japanese, I played through Final Fantasy 7 and stopped every time I didn't recognize something and looked it up in my Denshi Jisho. It was tough but I made it through the whole game! Good luc

Personal anecdote: Habitat was developed as a sort of application deployment / configuration management tool in Rust, and the architecture there is roughly equivalent to an ECS. I found it a joy to work with and work on. Not sure if it

Based on what I know about Jerry Seinfeld, he seems pretty good at setting hard boundaries for himself. It seems he's uninterested in pleasantries and burdens that come associated with fame, and has, maybe uniquely, been able to avoid

Steins;Gate, a Japanese light novel and anime, includes John Titor in the story in an awesome way. It also includes some bit of hacker culture that I think is more real than the typical American movie "hacker". I recommend it! Edi
