That's a significant increase. Can any game historians here tell us if a price hike this large has ever happened before? It's not a good look for something that seemed to be gaining a lot of traction.

Maybe you disagree with them, but I have a hard time finding anything harsh about that comment. It's just their opinion on the phenomenon.

So the problem fusion is that is will be too good? Interesting take.

Is the lesson here that these images are worth nothing so they lose nothing by giving them away?

That doesn't solve the foreign key problem. You can still easily have a reference to a record that is "deleted"

Ignore the clone part though. That's just how I'm extending the time frame. The same problem exists with a "transporter". The instance coming out the other side appears to be identical, but there's no way to know if

I don't think so. Imagine someone wrote an AI that is able to act exactly like you. To the point that no one you know can differentiate between you and the AI. Would it be OK at that point if they just killed you? No one can tell the d

This is lame. It spends most of its time going over film and architecture in order to prove that music is stagnating. It’s not a good comparison. Film is stagnating creatively because the budgets are too big to take a risk. The same is not

I don’t think this has been the case for the past 15 years or so. In young parent culture, there is absolutely stigma against using formula. I think these studies are a big part of it. There’s pressure from doctors and hospital staff to bre

EA published that Star Wars Jedi game with no microtransactions and sold 10 million copies. Yeah if you think all your customers are idiots or sheep then you'll make bad games that just manipulate people into constantly spending more,

Context has a big impact on intention. This video is a prime example of that.
552.
by vlunkr 4y ago
It was a disappointment for you maybe. It was a huge success and appealed to people outside the typical video game audience. You don’t get that by rehashing a 25 year old Game Boy game again.

There are lots of dumb scams. It's a numbers game, you reach out to thousands of people and if only a few bite, you're probably still making a profit.

It might be more interesting if it wasn't just the beginning of the song.

Yeah, video games are probably even worse off than movies. If you're playing on original hardware, most modern TVs don't scale them properly and they look terrible. There are external upscalers and RGB modding, but it's an ex

It's interesting that when we revisit older movies, all the way up to the 90s, we're watching them at much much higher quality than we did originally. Special effects, costumes and sets are all much more believable when you'r

Doesn’t the increase in degrees indicate that there is social mobility?
558.
by vlunkr 4y ago
I had the same thoughts. The country is now more educated than it was before, and they want to paint that as a bad thing. And point some fingers at the “elite,” Which is now people who’s parents have a college degree I guess.

Am I an outlier in the fact that I'll listen to any type of music when programming, not just ambient(boring) stuff? Maybe it takes a mental adjustment, but it seems like my brain tunes it out as needed. It's certainly easier to tu

You could have stopped after "I am not sure what libertarian really means"

Hopefully by this point investors know that Shopify both relies on and contributes to lots of FOSS.

How often does that work though? Actual teenage actor are less experienced and usually worse than older actors. There are also child labor laws that don’t allow them to work as many hours, which may slow the whole production down if they’re

Yeah, This is a valid criticism of Star Wars, which is now stuck parading the same 10 characters around forever, but not LOTR.

Wow I didn't even know that happened until right now. At least they're advertising for Rings of Power.

Smaller companies are a much bigger risk as a dependency. Whatever GitHub may do in the future, they are unlikely to disappear in any time frame I care about.

I'd be interested in seeing some kind of study on this. Before high school, yeah, there's lots of time wasted on watching videos and coloring pages, but I don't remember high school being so bad. Unless the teacher was really

I'm sorry, but getting upset about a sequel you didn't want is an immature and entitled attitude. This is a sequel from the original creator, not some corporate cash-in, what else do you want? Ron Gilbert is not a mind reader, he

Anyone who has lived with rural internet will be blown away by 90MB. This is an incredibly high bar.

Yeah I’m not trying to say it’s better or anything, I’m just so unfamiliar with environments where going out of bounds isn’t an immediate failure.

It’s pretty interesting how the game can continue to function in a level that isn’t supposed to exist. Metroid has similar areas I believe. It’s hard to imagine a modern game or any modern software handling a scenario like that without cras
