And Notch would obsessively play Dwarf Fortress before writing any code for Minecraft. The distinction between influence and contribution is a fine line. It's worth studying so aspirants understand no achievement exists in a vacuum, bu

I'm curious about how many users are on your organization's Slack. I consider it one of my go-to sources for my org that has had between 250-300 people for the past 3 years. I can see it being suboptimal for a bigger company, thou

You are absolutely correct that the genre is maturing more than many gamers realize. Many gaming pundits that I follow seem to get caught in a particular game, and it changes their perspective of the format as a whole. For example, I have b

I have had some fun with Football Manager, and it does have a similar vibe of "letting the story play out". However, the Retro games allow you to actively control players in the match itself, instead of only being the manager like

I haven't played this game, but I'll definitely add it to my watchlist from this insightful conversation. I had an interesting experience with friction playing the Retro Bowl (football) and Retro Goal (soccer) games on my iPhone.

It's baffling that the Android doesn't have a "Steam-like" game store app. Humble was close to that, but the company did not invest any resources into that realm. I can only assume there's some other factor that pre

In my experience, ratings are an inaccurate measurement. If you want to learn how to cook Pad Thai, are your going to trust the 5-star recipe with 30 responses, or the 3.9-star recipe with 3,100 responses?? An active comment section tends t
