I unfortunately still have to revert to the "customer is always right" level of understanding, the customer being either external or management or... whoever can get you booted. A lot of the time it doesn't matter what you fi

I saw a funny DefCon video on elevator hacking where one of the emcees tried to patronizingly lure the lecturers off-stage, with shots! This was presumably because they constantly take too long to get their AV set up and wanted to get a hea

Hmm, do we have any options then? Go work for the TSA maybe? Finding a cushy government job and securing a pension is clearly looking like a harder path now.

At the risk of splitting hairs, I was suggesting that people "promote the right to repair" more and not necessarily "pass legislation". While I agree that it's a good goal to buy less plastic junk, the subject proba

I'd suggest robots with fire extinguishers.

If we can promote right to repair a bit more, we could actually talk about this.

The problem I see with this is just the lack of originality. Disneyland originally focused on subjects like early America, the frontier or the future. This robot is about the guy who built a company that focused on that. It's very sel

So I guess the standard is: dead for 100 years is acceptable. Dead for 60 years is "too soon".

I think a bunch of people would have been more interested in the ff7 remake had it been able to wrap up the story in a single game that's only 30-60 hours.

It sounds like: 1. Some people just dislike the qte combat. 2. Some people reject certain plot points. But we can't talk about it that much because it's a spoiler. I'm annoyed at myself for reading too many comments on it.

I tried the Oblivion remake and have been just assaulted by the number of things I can try and do. There's a story behind nearly every quest with some kind of ironic twist. Thinking of how you can get over the next hump by developing y

Let's say we aren't talking about "hate" as much as "disagree". Some countries have vastly different labor standards so globalization means subsidizing immoral practices. As we all know it means that local indu

Well. Yeah, if they made great decisions like Capcom did, the adventure genre may have been more prominent to this day. I mean, Capcom even developed the Ace Attorney games which are themselves visual novels/adventure games. If you loo

Aren't we primarily talking about adventure games here? That is, games that nobody played after the nineties?If they weren't acquired they certainly would have modernized, of course. I can't help but think they were in deep t

The subtle art of not giving a f** had a great chapter on the importance of deciding your values, that is, what's important to you. The parent advice clearly stated what's important: living in a world where fundamental rights are

My personal strategies... 1. I try to be indirect on what I think and just describe why some people think one opinion versus another. So I try not to convince people. 2. I try to stick to "is this going to work?" Style arguments w

My intellimouse explorer lasted until someone stole it after ten years, which isn't bad. I do think since then mainstream mouses are less durable (they only last 5 years!) but they didn't have the loose click feeling that the Micr

Saying that Stormtroopers are bad or that the Vietnam war was bad isn't really that controversial or partisan.

I had played Morrowind and gta3 at the time, but I missed the train on Shenmue. So ten years ago I bought a used Dreamcast and a copy of the game and... The game was sloooow. Granted, the system I bought was dying as well, but just going i

These are definitely techniques that you take for granted, even moreso now with computer animation. I definitely am impressed now when I see scenes like the opening of Sleeping Beauty as the camera zooms in on the inside of the castle. My w

"To force players to get out of their comfort zone and explore the design of the game in a way they might not if this were a fully unguided gaming experience." It's great how rogue like/lite games such as slay the spire

Funny story. On YouTube someone posted the following verse in response to current events. "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them." Leviticus 19:33... So I of course responded that there are a lot of

So I'm not looking up the numbers for this but to devils advocate... Acceleration is way up since then, gasoline cars included. Crash tests are better. Collision avoidance and rear views make us safer as well. Reliability probably peak

I think if you're giving original opinions about movies it guarantees that you're going to be on the wrong side of history eventually. His reviews aren't any less interesting even when you disagree with him.

I occasionally watch CBS Sunday morning where they frequently have longer portraits of what day to day life in New York is like. While this is interesting and well, inevitable since their headquarters is there anyway, it does get a little o

As a kid I thought the announcer voice for Blades of Steel was excellent at the time. Despite it being distorted it gave the feeling that you were watching an actual hockey game. Of course, most of the games I played then didn't have m

It also reminds me of that Arcade Fire song about how "we used to wait" for letters to arrive. The novelty isn't just in the thing, it's also in anticipation of the thing that you had to take out of the dust jacket and s
