Everything breaks and this is actually a good game mechanic. In other games you can end up with ridiculously overpowered gear, and then cheese your way through all the areas of the game that are note late game. If you do this here, you will

In a previous life we used LDA (together with some other techniques) to find clusters of similar Android applications (based on their descriptions). We then looked for apps within a cluster that used vastly different permission-gated APIs t

Just ordered this one; thanks for the recommendation and thanks for the takeaway summary as well. :)

I also had a lot of fun playing Super Mario Galaxy. Great soundtrack as well.

Exactly this! If you think Apple and their profit margins there's a big parallel. And both Apple as well as Nintendo have gone for gimmicks that weren't obvious big hits (the Wii U, 3D touch). (On the subject of the Wii U, in a lo

I guess what surprises me is that we haven't written down mechanics or principles that will make a game fun instead of just addictive. (There seem to be many well established dark patterns for getting people to spend money on freemium

And yet they kinda manage to still teach you things carefully. It feels like in the past they were afraid of making things to subtle, but if you look at the game with an eye of game design (just create a second user on the Switch and restar

I'd like to see them succeed with episodic game play. I'm not sure if anyone really ever did that. I know that Valve wanted to do it with Half Life 2 and then just stopped after two episodes. It sounds like Witcher 3 had two great

I'm surprised by how similar and non-gamy Pokemon Go feels (feels more like a grind / freemium mobile game). I was also surprised by how much the core mechanics have a vibe very similar to Ingress. I think it'd be interesting

It's super interesting that Nintendo seems to have down the elements of game design really well that actually make a game fun. Compare that to other games such as Pokemon Go or No Man's Sky, which feel like the designers might hav

I wonder whether now that they have a functioning engine and tools for large open worlds it might take less effort to create another open world like this — and then allow them to spend that time on also having the more traditional big dunge

It allows you to store extra swords, shields, and bows AFAIK. Also has a couple of tools (hammer, others) conveniently available nearby.

In their GDC talk ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyMsF31NdNc ) one of the core concepts they present is "multiplicative gameplay", which sounds a lot like what NetHack and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup aim for as well

This is not super-conventional, but some of the standard library uses panics in a similar way. I think as long as panics don't cross library boundaries you're fine. And panics can cross library functions if the function is called

I was thinking about forking the language just so I could add a Maybe monad. I now typically deal with this via a Must() function that takes to values and return the non-err value or panics if there was an err. That means you can call it li

The UX of https://www.degiro.eu/ isn't the best, but they have very low fees. I've been investing there (mostly ETFs and some US Stock) for a while and am very happy.

I wonder if they have a service that automatically detects all those failures and terminates the entire node instead?

Interestingly, Facebook's algorithms also reward activity which has the effect of bubbling up group posts with a lot of drama.

> Cute write up though. In Norway, they call this "koselig". That word sounds half-way between the English "cozy" and the German "kuschelig". A missing link. Interesting. :)

Except that for a company as big as Facebook your security provisions probably shouldn't stop right at the front door.

The black market may. Having what you need to replace an app installed on pretty much everyone's iPhone with arbitrary code is a pretty big deal.
