As a non-German living in Germany, the German insistence on you buying your kitchen in a rental is really really stupid, and serves no purpose. Besides the schemes listed here, where the landlord tries to sell you the…
I was fluent in 3 languages before school, as is my little brother. Parents from 2 different countries, and moved to America when I was a young child and my brother was born in the USA. It helps if the parents can…
I also love my XM5s, but yeah, the touchpad is useless and far too sensitive. I kept accidentally touching it whenever I move my hair out of my face to tuck it behind my ears, or otherwise brush past it. I also turned…
Multiple times in my game development career have implemented or worked with proprietary byte code in a project. I've done it on PCs, embedded devices, consoles, etc. The first game I worked on used MDL from the old…

As one of the developers on this, and the first game that I worked on, it made me smile to hear that you and others liked it. I’m glad it brought you good times, even if it took 25 years to find out!
There are many, but here is a personal anecdote. For background, I am a relatively high income software professional. Many years ago, I moved states, and in the process had to switch banks, so I closed my old account…
I worked on games for the original PlayStation, and one of the requirements for release was that your title would be able to run for 48 hours without crashing (the soak test). A big issue we ran into as developers is…
I live in America, and the insistence on playing music at every location has long bothered me. It tends to never be music that I care much about, and the volume often makes it difficult to hear other people when you're…
