   Finally I can own land with the confidence only a team of cryptopreneurs can provide, instead of some enforceable boomer legal framework.

   I’ve worked at several companies over 20 years, and generally speaking the quality of the code has been inversely proportional to the number of people who worked on it.

   Same. My family was below the US poverty line, but my parents were college educated and most of the extended family placed tremendous emphasis on education, academic performance, and college prep. I always get very annoyed with modern disco

   My favorite subs that I keep going back to are very lightly moderated. I have rage quit many subs I used to really enjoy, purely because of absurd and unnecessarily heavy handed moderation. In such subs, mod comments literally outnumber on

    I remain convinced that weed helped me a lot here. I also basically apprenticed myself to a couple of very charming extroverted people and learned what I could from them.

    Synthesis is underrated. Yes, front-to-back BSP tree rendering "had been done before" by like two academics, who didn't use it to make a game, let alone a great game.

    Fancying myself somewhat of an archivist of such matters, I believe the timeline of the Culture War must include 'mansplaining' (LiveJournal, 2008), Dickwolves (Penny Arcade, 2010), and Gamergate (originally WordPress, 2014). Each

    There was Tumblr before it (and LiveJournal before that), and TikTok after it. Twitter, however, seems to be better suited in its fundamental design for war ala call-outs and brigading.

    And half of that will be fetishists baiting others into furnishing wank material. And half of the responses are really other fetishists posing so the whole thing is really a role-play that superficially looks like Q and A.

    When using the same word is the main problem, that’s equivocation. When the problem is treating distinct situations as if they’re the same, that’s false equivalence.

    My mind was blown out the back of my head the first time I saw Super Mario Bros in an arcade in 1986-7. I wonder what would have happened to my sanity if someone had shown me a modern game one minute later.

    A lot of people are working on it. They mainly live on Patreon. For VR, specifically. It’s the only feasible way to approach 6dof porn, currently, AFAIK.

    I think this article is sloppy even by evopsych standards. I could buy that evolution could maybe furnish us with a motivation to help our children marry well, but I think it’s quite another thing to suggest it could furnish a particular

    So can Twitter threads. The bit about wood and blankets alludes to impracticality. It’s not about information theory. Why shouldn’t smoke signals be the frame? It’s an analogy. Why do you feel smoke signals are taboo for that purpose?

    I could say, for example, that our universe was created when a 5th dimensional alien named Parkus Mersson ran universe.jar. But that only expands the notion of universe. I don’t think I can make the kind of statement you mean without regr

    You’re inserting intent that isn’t in the text - a sign of our times. It only says such thoughts can’t be transmitted via smoke signal. Here it’s used to say, “Fuck Tweet threads.”

    I love a lot of grindy games. What I always tell people is it’s all about whether you enjoy the core combat loop or not. The swinging and ducking and dodging and shooting and running around. If the moment to moment action isn’t fun for you

    Plus, they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way. Don't pack themselves together and run as one. Don't shit where they're not supposed to. Don't take what's not theirs. They don't compare.

    There seems to have been a trend for people to really want to include Microsoft in recent years, and that’s part of it.
