Here’s a simple way it can cause harm: Getting hype too high. A lot of features get tested that might not make it into the final product. If a tester leaks that the game is going to have awesome features “X, Y, Z, and Q” in it and it’s later revealed to only have X and Z (since Y was found to be unfun in practice even…

> Your interpretation is almost certainly right, however, it’s good business practice to protect....well, your business.

And it’s good human practice to protect democracy. I’d put that far above a business protecting itself. If the two are in conflict, then rather than shrugging your shoulders and saying “Well, that’s…

The reasons for crime punishment can be broken up into roughly 4 categories:

Though oddly, people do say “blonde-haired,” “redheaded,” etc. Don’t ask me why hair is an exception here.

She might not be my top pick for President (I’m pro-Warren; we need her policy wonkness now more than ever), but damn would I love to see Harris tear down Trump like this in the debates.

I have to say, I’m sad to see you go. But more than that, I’m happy to have had your writing here in the first place. I hope you’ll find the best in your next job!

There was even one quest whose description was basically (paraphrased, but not much): “Find someone who knows about this. It’s a big world. Good luck!” And of course, that person was in a place where you weren’t likely to wander by and see the ? signalling they were there. You had to fight your way into a cave…

I particularly enjoyed his April 1 video where he recreated Super Mario Maker features within Super Mario Maker. And no, he didn’t just reuse those same features, he went all out to find workarounds duplicate them using other features. His Bowser recreation in particular is a sight to behold.

Nope. This was fought in the courts a few decades ago, amid a sea of Street Fighter and Tetris clones, and the clones won the court battles. A game that’s absolutely identical mechanically might end up in hot water, but individual mechanics certainly aren’t copyrightable.

It’s all about figuring out what each individual is comfortable with. For instance, I’m on the autistic spectrum, and part of that is that I find almost any unexpected touch unpleasant and uncomfortable. But I’m fine if it’s expected, which means that I had no problems hugging one of my coworkers who’s a very tactile…

Since it’s highly unlikely Biden will be reading this comment, I’ll post some advice for anyone else that wants a takeaway from this: If you consider yourself an affectionate person, particularly with strangers, take a moment to ask yourself: Is it possible that you’ve made people uncomfortable, but they’ve been too…

If it has a lower resolution, that can be the case, but often resolution isn’t tied to physical size.

“My first reaction in reading it is he probably is telling the truth,” she said. “He probably doesn’t remember the interaction. I would argue that he is so used to behaving in that way that it is no big deal.”

There’s a big difference between someone of sound mind deciding to kill themselves and someone of unsound mind doing so (I’d argue we should even have a different word for the two). Yes, some people of sound mind will choose to do it in a symbolic location or in a particularly dramatic way.

The big problem is that it treats suicide as something controllable, which it really isn’t. It’s more a case of a mental illness (which might be externally-caused) overtaking a person. Saying that someone who committed suicide should have done it in a more politically-convenient spot is like telling someone who bled…

> This might sound terrible...

Someone fill me in but why would you subscribe to just Crunchyroll when you can subscribe to Vrv.co and get Crunchyroll plus a bunch of other content?

Maybe there’s a middle ground between wiping them from the history books and glorifying them?

Exactly. It’s just like Cannibal Witch said: Say whatever you will about her eating children, but you have to at least agree that it’s a feminist victory that it’s a *woman* eating children now.

Interestingly, the staircase in 8-3 isn’t any harder to climb up than the staircase in 8-1. There’s no wall-jumping in this game, so if you fall between the pillars in 8-1, you’re just as dead as if you fall into the complete void in 8-3. Removing the blocks entirely is just to make you feel more nervous, even if it…
