Protip: Say you’re a new HR hire. No one like or cares about HR. You’ll never be questioned.

I pre-ordered through Steam and promptly got a refund. Steam changed the game. +1000 to them for realizing there was a serious problem and being willing to do something radical about it.

This brings up a good point. With modern 3D visualization techniques, what’s stopping us from re-creating R’lyeh?

Maybe as a kid I realized that my wrists hurt if I didn’t sit a specific way.

WTF happened to the 55 MILLION DOLLARS they raised? Hookers and blow?

The Sinclair ZX80 was my first true love. THEN the glorious Cadillac called the Commodore 64. What a luxurious racing machine the C64 was compared to the garbage ZX80.

“There are no vaccines for uh, allergies or colitis. That’s not a thing, Bill.”

What’s strange is I’m in my mid 40’s and have been gaming/programming since I was 10. I’ve never used any special wrist protection and have never developed TCS. Is it because I have been using keyboards/mice/joysticks since my body was still in the development stage?

When you attempt to make a design capable of everything, it excels at nothing.

So true. At work I’m really careful about what I say. People can be so cruel.

I actually prefer to hear other people’s stories. It’s really entertaining to get downloads from other people’s lives. So, listening is a no-brainer for me.

I totally agree with this. Whenever anyone says “maybe”, what they mean is “I’m a spineless noodle who simply can’t say no”.

Looks great. But ugh...cloud based? I have such a total lack of trust about storing anything personal at all in the cloud. Well...unless I’m the one doing the encryption.

Ben Bova’s Venus novel was a fascinating read if you are interested in what it would take to actually land on a planet that hostile. He basically theorized that you could used bricks of lead to absorb the intense heat. As the lead melts, you simply dump it.

And they had DETAILED manuals and procedures for every single step pf the operation.

This video made me sad. In the very near future humans will be yanked out of the cockpit of these glorious flying speed machines and replaced with machine intelligence. How are we going to inspire dreams of greatness when robots are having all the fun?

Saddam Hussein built all kinds of crazy edifices before he was brought to his knees.

I actually remember this. I was a teen when the stories came out that people were causing themselves reproductive harm because they were cutting off circulation to their junk. Obviously this really only applied to men.

This one worked really well for me: When you are really angry with a person, even a loved one or family member, realize that it’s OK to be angry. Sometimes it’s perfectly justified to be really pissed off. Just realize that your emotions are legit and move on.

Superb game. Sometimes I would just hide under a table for minutes at a time completely paralyzed with fear. Now that’s DAMN good game design!
