I think an 86 is very well received. I think hundreds of 0s and 1s in the User Scores is evidence of nothing but trolls.

Usually when someone says "well received" they mean professional critics. User Scores are a nice idea in theory, but rather meaningless when a game like this gets hundreds of 0s and 1s out of 10. It was easily the best game I&#x27

Ah, the perennial not a game argument. In response to an article that claims that Kickstarter and Twitter are video games. You're welcome to that first opinion, but not the latter: http://www.metacritic.com/game/

I like it, but I was expecting it to be an intro into something else. There's no real call to action or funnel here.

This probably speaks more to my lack of attention, but it took me a while to realize what this is. Too easy to look at the real articles. Also, http://www.isaac.ink/ appears to be a looping video with nothing else going on?

Yes microcorruption was a lot of fun and the last part of this post reminds me very much of the last level. The nice thing about microcorruption was how you didn't need much more than familiarity with assembly and C (and language of

Yea, I think even if people know this they don't intuitively grasp how far off they are. Five tries at 20% success rate is only 67% overall. That's about the same odds you have to win two rounds of russian roulette. To have an o

In college, I had a fairly consistent habit of bombing the first exam in a class and then going on to ace the class anyway. I got a 50 on my first exam in my very first class, Calc III. It's like I didn't take a class seriously un

That's a great idea and good looking app. I had kind of a similar idea: an app that would preserve nice things said about you by others to counteract all the negativity.

I'm confused. How is using a stock template a "rip-off"? If you design something with a stock photo, is your entire design a rip-off? If you use a popular library such as Bootstrap, is your site a rip-off? It's lazy, sur

I'm aware of the existing in house services, but noticed there are still a bunch of universities without one. Even some big names. Those are pretty good points. Thank you.

I agree on the screenshots. I don't think a menu gives much information. Looks very clean though. If you haven't already, read this about another iOS numbers game discussed recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/it

It's a fine article, but the implied answer to the title is: you can't. Know the technology, then get the job. I was hoping it was about getting a job when you wouldn't know the technology until you started.
