So, just because you want to, is sufficient reason for you to ignore the wishes of a developer/publisher and the regulations set by industry and state. Got it. But, did you ever consider that just because you really, really want something doesn’t justify you taking it, no matter how easy it might be to take?

Yeah, I can…

Get an Android device. Get Hacker’s Keyboard. Set to Dvorak. Turn off all the auto things (fill, correct, suggestion, search, whatever).

How do I get into this streaming business without being overly aggressive, having to talk non-stop, and selling out? Oh, and not be vulgar so the kiddos can watch their dad/uncle?

Is it possible? What would I say? What would I do?
I can’t do cartwheels.

Seems about right.

But can it drive Crysis?

I need to say this: I hate that we have to take that into consideration. Because a group of people decided to ruin face paint for all of time and space, accurately portraying a specifically-toned character, visually, is forever deemed distasteful by the masses. Because people refuse to take back the beauty and joy of…

Isn’t gambling great? Sometimes you win!

That whole thing aside, there’s also the issue of few actually knowing how stars work.

Five stars is “this was perfect, I love it, I will always cherish this, or at the very least, use it frequently and/or for the rest of my life.” It literally can’t get better than a five-star.

But I swear, the number of “well, it came…

Ha. This conversation is more than a year old, but I appreciate you chiming in and backing me up.

Also, I appreciate that I’m in a place in my life right now that really would benefit from practicing what I preach (not monetary, but still “resource” related.) Thanks for the wake up call and/or message from God.

I played this game once, and sometimes I see screenshots of it, as well as snippets on Highlight Reel.

Do people actually build stuff in this game? It’s not just ramps and walls to get the high ground / encase an enemy in a room with spikes?

Is there a non-battle royale mode in this game? I feel like building static…

Disagree. If one has the discipline to set aside the energy and time to learn to code/design/create then do those things and plan to release the game on major distribution service, then they can muster the courage to borrow some money/save up from their normal job/get a part time job for just a month and use all that…

I’d play the heck out of that.

I’d also add (to the concepts below, such as “your brain doesn’t find it interesting/actively useful enough to store long-term”) that, I’d guess maybe 97% of what we read is just the language/context infrastructure required of the author to get their point/story across to the reader. I think, in the end, we don’t…

What’s this “evidence” that you speak of? Your conclusion assumes *nothing* changes regarding infrastructure in two entire decades. The amount of time it took us to get from landlines and dial-up to optical networks and 4G on middleclass cellphone plans for teenagers. Incredibly unlikely that we’ll just *sit here and…

A *two* piece TV! The “box” thingy and the screen part!

That’s hardly an issue. There are *so* many ways around that. Parallel connections, more efficient packet design, fiber-everywhere.

Again, we’re talking *20* years out. Doesn’t matter what you’ve been reading lately.

Worth saying: If you watch them for gameplay, you’re doing it wrong.

Wat.

Yes, it *is* changing soon. We’re reaching limits on processor design as we’ve known it. Phones are as powerful as desktops were 8 years ago. In 20 years? Either a paradigm shift will change how we program/code/create interactive experiences, and/or, mobile devices will catch up to the PC-tiers and it won’t matter how…
