It's a really great game and I think by the end you'll be awestruck by what it successfully evokes in you, but a painting, or a silent movie for that matter, are by definition not interactive environments unless using your imagina

Comedies just aren't the same thing though, I mean where do you really start comparing Shaun of the Dead, which is hilarious don't get me wrong, with The Last Of Us?

All other visual mediums lack interactivity which changes things. I can't press something in a painting and unlock another experience, in Up the camera is controlled by the creators. You can play the games I mentioned and miss thin

Journey and Abzü are great examples of what video games can do with just exploration of the environment telling you a story with zero dialogue/exposition that by definition can't be done in other mediums

I wanna know what quality of zombie movie this guy is watching that The Last of Us is somehow beneath them. The only zombie movie worth a damn this century is 28 Days Later. The Last of Us Part II was an even more amazing story, I literal

If extraterrestrial aliens have the tech to travel vast distances across space, they have the automation to do the majority of physical labor and to build the automation. I liked Colony's human stories (even the typical annoyingly re

Thanks for the explanation, I'd assumed execs have access to the material and can tell what they have on their hands as it comes along (further assuming that this is the whole point of their job aside from telling if a screenplay is an

The amount of common, everyday, practical vocabulary that descends from Old Norse that you use all the time on a daily basis is impressive.

Interesting that the Eastern demographic developed horses more so but it seems like they definitely still had spoken very similar dialects since Sanskrit has insane overlap in lexicon with modern Lithuanian

Am I wrong to find it hard to believe they haven't filmed any of Part II? They were just sitting there on-location and going "nope, not gonna shoot any Part II material"? They've been talking up this ultimatum of &quot

This was the kind of high-end catering where you had weddings with a $50,000/night harpist playing blissfully on the staircase, we servers were 100% looking forward to getting at the leftovers afterward/during work since it all ha

As someone who worked hospitality for much of their 20s, it's the worse. High-end banquet catering pays decent but is rife with sexual harassment. Working in a more casual environment tends to involve a great deal of disrespect. The wh

This is such an abstract, storybook way of talking about fear. There's just no point to talking about processing fear without talking about causes and relations between things. The article attempted to legitimate itself by excluding &q

> Edit: The other nice things about hooks is their composability (and this is in fact related to what I said above). With class components, a component can have one state object, so it's hard to compose with other "mixin"

To better understand the move away from OO interfaces, and mixins for behavior sharing, first read 'Mixins Considered Harmful'[0], then for a counter point read 'Why are Mixins Considered Harmful?'[1], then the follow-up

And that's kinda it, enough people don't realize how immature/unprofessional they can be, implicitly and explicitly, when physically co-located. You should be able to abstract from that in a place of business and maybe a cult

Some aspect of this may come off as offensive, but frankly there was a certain amount of sexualizing gaze I had to deal with from both sides of the aisle that made things like meetings rather unfocused, and I don't think that'd

The work of the "postmodernist" historian Michel Foucault (quotes cause that term is usually a red herring) is precisely about specifying a framework with which to understand how this 'virality' works, why some ideas are

I've seen entire apps written as React components/hooks, the whole thing, no redux/mobx/etc managing state above the level of necessary local UI state. React markets itself as just a library but the truth is people tend
