I have long lamented the over use of combat in games, not for pacifist ideology, it's just a cop-out as a game mechanic for a lot of games. The medium can represent a chasm of possibilities but usually all the focus goes of AAA titles

Warzone became my friend groups defacto 3rd space during covid, and I don't love shooters but the game loop had considerable down time where you were just exploring the massive map with friends while preparing, and able to chat like yo

I was unsure how to word it, but I think there is a pricesless aspect to the talent that this took. Even though they were probably paid a wage, sometimes outputs by individuals at a company a literally irreplaceable.

Not that I am wealthy enough to participate, but you see the same thing in cars and the same issue too. Sometimes status signalling and taste end up in the same product, and people who don't care about cars end up with the finest of th

I was thinking about this just yesterday, mostly in relation to notifications and expectation management. Often enough people conflate an online form with a business process that takes place immediately, and get mad that someone didn't

It doesn't seem to matter if someone went to university. I have had to unpick crap code from uni grads and self taught. Experience may be the only true reliable tell, and I don't mean jobs held I mean world experience on projects.

Adam Neely and his band Sungazer did an interesting live experiment with his audiences, to figure out the slowest beat or pulse that people would be able to "feel" and dance to. Slowest possible isn't really as interesting in

They did use real characters in Obduction, which has similar locomotion options to the new Myst and Riven remakes. They used some interesting workarounds to make it work, like only ever seeing characters through gaps, windows or TV screens.

If you are used to modern games, I would play the modern remake by Cyan. It's amazing to explore the worlds with proper First Person movement. I can also highly recommend their new game, Obduction, and their remake of Riven. I have pla

I was not raised Christian growing up, but I still recall believing someone was always watching me as a kid. It was likely because so many around me were religious, and I had been told so many dead relatives were "up there smiling down

This has happened to me twice in Australia, and plagued a friend so much they sold their car. They couldn't afford the replate fee (and figured it would just happen again) so they gave up, I gave them a spare bicycle, which was then st

The chip tends to be earned when you try and interact with particularly bad cities, with anything but a car and a short walk. I also didn't have the chip on my shoulder in my early 20s when I used to drive everywhere, including parking

It's clear "the guy" did the majority of the creative work, so whilst it's "not difficult to understand" the law, it is a nuanced situation. Pretending it is not because of the letter of the law is just sideste

Which is crazy. Where I live, even upper-middle class can't afford a house, so what is going on? Who is actually participating in the market to keep prices so high, and who ultimately benefits from all this imaginary value on non-produ

I had not heard about this remake, what throwback. I'm going to have to play it again to see if my memory aligns with reality.

I actually think this decline will have a positive impact on more local issues. Here is my reasoning: Software Developers (and I am one) are too expensive for most companies. This caused a brain drain into "Big Tech" which while a

I am fascinated by the idea of being 50 years from now, and doing digital archaeology more or less. So much of our actual output is now digital and stored digitally. Given how I have experienced technology up until this point, my assumption

Your experience matches mine here in Australia, and it's fine justification for why we don't take public transport, but not why there shouldn't be more and better public transport. I would much much prefer to be taking a trai

You don't need a car, but you won't be able to reach everything outside the cities. It's fine since everything you need is in the cities, and you would never run out of stuff to see, do, survive with. So "need" is a

If you want a house with a carpark you can build it, or find that in a rental.

I hope it does. We have to get through the challenging issue of convincing big tech companies that our small email servers are not spam however.

Cities shouldn't have to mandate carparks, let alone charging in them. Having no car at all should be viable and we should build toward that. Pre-empting, obviously many places still require cars, but we shouldn't codify cars into
