a great improvement in my opinion! typescript has grown on me tremendously over the years (coming from a long-time coffeescript advocate, which has been out of fashion and out of date for a long time, typescript while orthogonal has filled

i'm constantly amazed at what can be done with webgl these day (shame about the iOS support). surprised we don't see more immersive games with this tech!

i have no idea what you are talking about. folks are being held accountable, you said they weren't. are you saying that it's not happening fast enough for your liking? you were straight up wrong.

the second book is definitely the best (in my opinion), but yeah, if you were frustrated by the first book i don't think you would love the second (as exciting as the ideas may be). for me personally, i approached it less as a hard sci

that's fair, sorry dang. you do great work. that being said, not really sure why my other comments are flagged (below in thread). seems in bad faith.

yeah, i wonder how much of the game information you would have to include to make it unique. that being said, wouldn't map information be sufficient for the remainder of the classes? so using starting equipment is really just an optimi

i'm not going to keep responding because it's clear you haven't understood any of the above comments around the structural and generational concerns. there is plentiful literature to better educate yourself and be less ignora

i absolutely agree and was taking issue primarily with the lazy political framing of the parent than the broader conclusions of the article as a whole. i also would like to see a more comprehensive study (esp. including scientific issues, w

old misogynists sharing "wikileaks CONFIRMS hillary sold weapons to ISIS!!!!" being fake news is absolutely a far-left take on reality, hahaha. how are you so bad at this.
