Fair enough. The products could, and probably had, been made in good faith. But, I think the constant barrage of new products from Sega, along with the complicated hierarchy of how the products interacted with each other, burned people out.

So sad Neo-Geo and Sega have sunk so low. I don't really miss their hardware, Sega shot themselves in the foot by releasing too much cash-grab junk over the 90's instead of focusing on their core products. But the games they made

Depends on what you want. I've lived in the Midwest my entire life, from a tiny town of 2,000 people to Chicago Illinois. I'm moving out to Portland in less than a month. I REALLY dislike the Midwest due to it's lack of natur

Would love something like this for single-handed use in Android. I'm amazed at how poor my typing skills in android are, after years and years of constant use. Something just is not working!

Google improving their support? I'll see it when I believe it. We used to pay for gold level support. It's hilariously bad. I once had a production outage that ended up being a low-level GKE bug. Support de-escalated my ticket and

I am a full time remote worker, but I have survived the tyranny of an open office in the past. I dislike the open office format. A lot of the time companies don't "choose" an open office, it chooses them. If you are working a

I would be a indie game maker if I could start over, so I guess I would still need the programming skills. But I would also gain skills in art, music, level design, etc. on top of it. I would avoid corporate life and carve out a happy littl

There is 100% cheating and match-fixing going on in professional gaming. It's some interesting reading! https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Match_Fixing_Scandal

I am willing to bet World of Tanks has aim-bots and wall-hacks, though cheats like god-mode and speed hacks are almost unheard-of at this point. For a twitchy game to have decent performance, the client-side needs to have enough information

Fortnight and Overwatch both ONLY offer cosmetic improvements, so you cannot gain an edge by spending money. Many many games have taken this model, though. I love TCG games, but they're so stupidly expensive and pay to win I've gi

What other people think of you is also an enticing reward. Getting to platinum rank by cheating has advantages. Additionally, you earn cosmetic items, and you can earn them at a faster rate with less effort by winning consistently. Finally,

To be more clear: I'm speaking specifically to my friends who I usually am playing with in Discord. I don't bother speaking in the public channels. A simple report is all I communicate to the outside world.

Cheating in video games is extremely common. It is a huge issue with online video games. I tend to be "that guy" when playing games, pointing people out when I believe they are cheating. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not.

That would require anyone but a modern nation taking the blame for something bad on this Earth and we all know that is not going to happen. Forget it's the Asian countries that produce the plastic. White people did everything didn'

Western nations aren't the problem, it's developing countries with poor waste infrastructure and industrial vessels. https://www.statista.com/chart/12211/the-countries-polluting...

Preventing plastic in Europe would have basically no effect on plastic in the ocean. The problem is people with poor waste management infrastructure tossing their junk into the rivers and oceans in developing countries. https://w

Unfortunately, this probably wouldn't work. Most plastic waste does not come from rich countries with decent waste infrastructure. It comes from shipping and fishing and industrial vessels who dump their garbage into the ocean, and dev

Flat earthers are a lot less interesting or hard to understand than people realize. Belief in a flat earth is a dog-whistle for fundamentalist Christians. So yeah, they don't care about the fact that we can observe the Earth is round o

On Mac you need to explicitly enable the feature that allows one to install unsigned programs, which I think is a really healthy feature for the average user. It will also warn you that you are installing unsigned software in scary languag

"Hair Ice" sounds flat and un-poetic, like Donald Trump named it. "Frost Beard" is the OBVIOUSLY superior name of this phenomenon.

This isn't complicated. The hateful and unjust lie of the polygraph test is useful. It allows you to persecute on false pretenses. They do not want a lie detector. They want a magic button to push to allow them to detain anytime they w
