No insider info again but, IMHO, Half Life: Alyx was a genre-defining success that has not yet been matched but even that did not hit the bar expected of a Half Life 3. It’s an impossible expectation and they don’t have a financial need to

Targeting services with the router doesn’t work against downloaded content. The OS sleep times can be bypassed by changing the system time and disabling wifi. There are also the free web proxy websites that let you bypass a whole lot of oth

For me, missing a night of sleep has a much, much larger cognitive effect than missing a cup of coffee. What I was trying to express was that the percent change is much higher, not that it’s infinite. Trying to be more practical and a touch

From what I understand of this, what they mean when they say “social media” in this context is more like amped-up high school politics. It’s a platform for gossip, bullying, cliques-forming, etc. If you’re thinking of the stress from that a

I read once an explanation of Brazilian soccer greatness as being because they played a hacky sack game which was bouncing a soccer ball across their knees kind of. Talent is transferable skills. Getting good can’t come without practice but

Both Canada and the US share an overshoot date of March 13th. Assuming roughly equal consumption but very different population density, I wonder how they came to the exact same day?

I’ve heard that a lot of Shopify sites will have the auto credit card processing disabled for new orders. So that a real person can validate the order before hitting Stripe or whoever with it. Fraud orders are usually easy to spot by shippi

If the constraint is time and money, maybe that could be the answer instead of a hard no? Like, “the project you’re currently on is making X dollars per day and the new idea has to at least match that.” You might start getting more interest
