Also, to be double-fair, the "speed up your iphone" advice is qualitatively different. With no ability to adjust speeds or muck aroudn with system settings like in an android phone, the iphone "maintenance" essentially boils down to "turn off all the shit that uses your battery". Which is good advice, but isn't the…

fair enough! I'll just say that I never really bothered to do a thing with my iphone.

It's going to be a strange world having to clean up your mobile phone after the years of iphone no-maintenance dominance.

I think people are trained something like puppies, and we're now used to paying exorbitant fees for "the quality experience". I mean gaming is like an insular fashion industry, or Apple. As long as the core audience can feel like they're on the trend edge, they'll pay anything.

I feel like in pushing gaming as art, this is kind of a sad new era. I mean, how many things fail because of crowdsourcing? How many movies?

By that, do you mean "die"? Or do you mean "crank out books of increasingly poor value to pad out his series"?

Keith David also was one half of the greatest fight in movie history.

Shout out for Vagrant Story. A classic, and one of my favourites.

The essential problem is that there are two very fundamental, and very opposite drives colliding here. On the one hand, a human being finds it interesting when his choices have consequences.
