   Hence why I said near. Touch will never replace traditional controls in some genres. Others, as you've said, require game play modifications to account for lack of physical buttons. My point was not that mobile > mobile console. My

   The issue is that 1 data point does not point to either side. You can neither make a strong nor a weak claim for either side, because the sample size is too insignificant. If I flip a coin twice with one head and one tail as the result, we

   But that's not a bulk $30-$40 up front. If I buy a game for $30 and play it for 5 hours over 1 month before calling it quits, I'm out $30. No way around that. If I download a free game with a $4.99 subscription model and spend the

   I was speaking strictly about blog sites not forums. Frost is the New Black[0] is one such site that's cruft free and about the hobby. Granted, it's now defunct, but it's an example of what I mean. Big Bear Butt[1] is another

   You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Written content was either managed by major news outlets or by hobbyists. I can still remember reading many blogs in 2009/2010 by hobbyist who just wanted to spread their experience with the ho

   It has earned me the Stickler moniker, and I'm absolutely alright with this. They've never had the displeasure of refactoring code from 3 years prior where the function's name is getIpAddress(), but it does 6 additional thing

    I'm no linguist, but is it truly something ambiguous or are you being a stickler? I've seen some of the comments on some of those exercises, and there are plenty of indignant sticklers mucking about. It's the same on CodeCade

    Not everyone pirates. I can't say for sure, but I believe Kodi has addons for legitimate streaming services. Also, some people take pride in their physical collections.

    To preface this, I am not excusing the guy's behavior. However, I think I understand why he may have thought it was alright to call her a MILF. MILF became a really popular term in the early 00s. Back then, it was obviously vulgar. I t
