The first thing I demand to know about any software dependency that is competing for my attention is what programming languages it supports. If I don't see that on the first page, you've failed to provide a reason to look at the s

I was just thinking the same thing. Acting as if you don't need to make status displays is itself a status display: it is a show of confidence.

LoL is a game that rewards learning deep, not wide. You won't win just because you have access to many champions. You will lose, because you don't know how to play those champions, and will never learn how, because you are always

You don't need options. It's best to play around 3 champions for your main position, and 1 or 2 for the other 4 positions. That means you want around 11 champions in your pool. More than that is too difficult to improve with. Let&

You do not have to pay for champions, you can unlock them for free using easily-obtainable Blue Essence. Paying to unlock champions is pay-to-progress, because it gets you caught up to everyone else faster, but doesn't give you a compe

There are plenty of pay-to-win games, but LoL is not one of them. LoL has cosmetics, and pay-to-progress, but there's nothing you can buy that will give you an advantage in-game over people who play for free. Unlocking new characters w

This is a conversation about hard economic times, when the house could very well depreciate in value, and you'll be stuck with a mortgage worth much more than the house. Remember 2008? It was caused by people assuming like this that th

This problem comes from the absolutist implication of the word. A better word is "Objectives". Objectives aren't created equal like calling them "requirements" implies. Requirements must all be completely fulfilled

"Going into debt you then invest" is probably the exact wording used by pathological gamblers to justify betting their house at cards. In older times, that's how people gambled their way into slavery. "I'll borrow s

Youtube's value isn't as a profit center, but a way of keeping people inside Google's ad ecosystem. Its value is to dominate the video hosting market so that viable competitors can't rise up in its place. If Google can s

It would be costly, but I am confident that Google has the money. They just don't want to spend it, and I am not sympathetic to that.

I don't think MMOs should be counted as a single project. Each expansion should be counted separately, at the very least. Star Citizen hasn't even released the base game, and the fact that they haven't segmented off any of th
