Why, in the "Battery Heat" section is there a link on the small d in Discord that leads to http://watchanimeattheoffice.com/ , which apparently redirects to discordapp.com. So weird!

Leave poor “beautiful” out of it! It’s innocent! Apple’s shit is beautiful because it is simple and functional, not the other way round. I think the issue is now that their products become weirdly tacky looking from being functionally wei

I’m noticing this whenever browsing a website that has a curated list of links from 8+ years ago. Take Metacritic, for example. Try clicking any of the links for a game review on a system from 2 or 3 generations ago. I once tried this for a

I'm in the same boat as the guy you replied to and yea, I hear people recommend the 2015s all the time. Might do that, eventually. Then my laptop is 4 years old instead of 8 (and I'll probably still have to pay 4 digits for a used

I don't even think that's the issue. I saw a documentary on Japan and they visited one of these idol "talent agencies". It's an incredibly creepy structure that's just not comparable to anything we have in the

Hmm. How good are they with the "grunt work" stuff for professional print design? Color profiles, PDF export, scripts for text formatting, files loading a gigabyte worth of photos, etc? I'm desperately waiting for a proper Ad

I’m already seeing this in the wild, at least for more artsy clients, museums, that sort of thing! I kinda like it. Some of their examples are over the top, of course, but think of it as the fashion show pieces that retail chains will dig

I think it's perfectly fair to say "this took me an hour", but statements like this always come with history. Dude probably spent at least hundreds of hours getting proficient at programming, app design and iOS development

This never happened to you with the past few presentations? I basically haven't seen a new feature I genuinely need since the iPhone 6 (or whatever Mac/iPad was announced since then, for that matter). Smartphones are pretty much d

The numbers don’t really add up. Computers are a hundred times (replace with actual value, but it should work even for a 10x increase) faster, yet the feature set hasn’t increased by anywhere near that factor. Also “feature” is a big word,

All craziness but then: >a[b] is literally equivalent to *(a + b). Is this obscure? I thought that's pretty much the first thing you learn about arrays in C? It's pointers, all the way down.

Okay, but art direction has nothing to do with the size of the game? I basically just argued that their games look worse since going HD.

I'm with you on the games being excellent examples of a super niche style done well but he's basically writing an article attacking the very concept of art direction as a waste of resources. That comes off a little disrespectful t

I get a little annoyed at how graphics tech is often equated with art direction. Anno 1602 has matching colors, good contrast, perfectly proportioned tile art, consistent balance of detail and good lighting. Its mountains look majestic, its

I'm super happy that games that look and feel like those from Spiderweb Software exist. I think it's charming. But the fact that he feels compelled to write an article in defense of the art style is telling to me. I think it&#x2
