   I don't see it as shit throwing or being toxic. Apologies if I came across like this. I am just trying to argue about something that really doesn't matter for the sake of making arguments

   > That's exactly my point. I haven't once conflated the two, all of your comments have. How? The disagreement is if Fallout 4 was a moneygrab or not. Is that correct? According to you it was because it "Skyrim was a sign

   You do understand that the quality of game engine is completely orthogonal to how good a game is, right? For some reason you believe that your opinion about the game is universally true, while the opinion on the other is personal preference

    I've been using 14 beta for a while now, and have to say I am impressed at the low number of bugs I encountered so far. For earlier releases I would go back to the main release only a few days after trying the beta due to bugs. My impr

    In Applied Cryptography, Schneier says obscurity is "take a letter, lock it in a safe, hide the safe somewhere in New York". Somehow in my mind, cryptography, eg. RSA, is also obscurity then. But instead of obscuring the physical

    Not versed enough in law to argue about this, but from a customer point of view, I hope that Apple wins as I would hate the iOS ecosystem to end up being a Wild West like the Android. I am happy to pay for a premium to have peace of mind. T
