There's plenty of knowledge to be gained apart from that, there are top players that explain some of their thinking that have content on Youtube/Twitch. There are other examples along the lines of what you're saying --…
"Series of unfortunate events" is an understatement, but I would say it gets due recognition--it's an indie game over a decade old and still earns its slot at major fighting game tournaments and (after said events'…
>And of course there is pressng all 88 keys on the MIDI piano at the same time. I would like to know what that sounds like on a real piano though. The mute pedal on an upright/console piano works by situating the…
This one has nailed a strong 'hook' for puzzle games, I think--the game appearing at first more challenging than it becomes after the initial learning.
At the risk of being oblivious to humor: The point is the latency and loss of the message -- for a more red-team angle, suppose someone in the intervening space has captured the communicator and seized their phone? The…
While I also agree with the sentiment, I do think it's a little bit like saying "90% of all programming is flow control and assignments"--it hinges on wide definitions that can be contextually helpful, harmful, or both.…
I'd be surprised if there existed a significant number of software development professionals who could answer a flat 'no' to this (although I'm certain there exist some amount who only do it when it is more direct a…
I think, if you're familiar with go, this is an uncharitable reading of the question. The victory condition in this game is very directly analogous to a not-uncommon source of (sometimes-game-deciding) violence in…
And leave a webcam on the door of every single person I'm professionally engaged with, to record their visitors? Use it to understand where each of those persons spends all of their time, to the best of my capability?…
What I mean is that some group of people earns dividends from the profit of the insurance company (stockholders or private owners), the insurance company earns profit by charging each little guy more than they are…
I think the idea of that service being all three of mandatory, not owned by its participants, and profit-driven is what causes it to feel inherently predatory -- that there exist companies which take on risk on behalf…
It seems weird to hear "a company here in Japan called LINE" -- LINE is big enough in Japan that it sounds kind of equivalent to "a company here in America called Discord".
I'm... confused as to what your interpretation of my comments here is. I'm explicitly stating that the issue isn't about people deciding they owe something to other people, or what the market decides the value of…
This is not really the point that I'm arguing--my point would be that if you wanted your house entirely encrusted in precious jewels, each of which was individually polished by a team of people paid 50 USD an hour to do…
I think the primary issue is not precisely 'wealth inequality' but rather a lack of accountability and responsibility from people with large amounts of wealth. If one has assets whose value is representative of the…

Very cool! There's another site I used to frequent with a similar bent, focused on golfing: https://www.dwitter.net/

As a prime example of this, I'd point to the horrifying source for VVVVVV, a darling indie game of its time: https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/vvvvvv (my favorite piece:…
You've painted the above comment as a negative spin, but I'm not really understanding, in your post, where it isn't just a less extreme version of this same spin. You're suggesting a human should spend otherwise free…
I wouldn't call it the worst way to draw -- these studies are excellent at training the eye to understand things as they truly look (rather than the shorthand symbols we are accustomed to), but would agree that one will…
I think these are reasonable. I should highlight, though, that 1, 3 and 4 are true for sign languages as well -- 3 and 4 doubly so (given how large a component individual expressions and gestures play in communication…
