Yes, they had specific codes. Here’s an excerpt:

I rather have things not break than have them easily replaced.

Much better.

I don’t think that’s how it works. You can probably sign a waiver and do a direct transfusion.

Massively unfair? 2% of the population (MSM) are over 50% of all HIV infections.

Cutting bread with a chopping knife, measuring milk in grams rather than (centi)liter, putting 100% of RDI of salt in 1 serving of sauce, eating flower petals?

Yes, my current place has a 25 m² living room too. I’m not saying it’s not small for an apartment.

“given that all other aspects are similar”

It’s not a rarity. NES sprites were only about 10FPS but the game ran far faster. Things like shadowmaps are often calculated intermittently to save performance.

Because it simply *is* better. It’s like a car that can go faster. It’s not necessary, it’s not even always of any benefit - but given that all other aspects are similar (looks, mileage, handling) one with a higher top speed is simply better. Even if you never use that top speed.

The need to support low end machines has little to do with what the high end can handle. If anything, having games optimized for old/cheap hardware should make the game FLY on anything up-to-date.

This makes sense. You can sprint after a bike to catch up, but you can’t keep up that pace forever. Same goes for your liver.

Great. A design that makes something less useful.

If it needs to be sturdy, why aren’t they using the traditional double-triangle build for the frame? Having the rear wheel on just a single horizontal tube instead of connected to two tubes like in my photo doesn’t make it stronger, it actually means you need to make that one tube much much stronger to prevent it from…

And here is the actual issue with Metacritic itself (instead of surrounding issues about how the industry abuses it); loss of numerical value and score inflation. What does a 8/10 still mean when the average score is a 7 (avg of all WiiU games is 6.98)?

Wearing a seatbelt is obligatory in most states. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt…

Or annoying, at least.

If something helps 99% of people but does (an equal amount of) damage to the remaining 1% it has a 98x net benefit. But for those 1% there should still be compensation.

So I went and read the source research. It's at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

This isn't a video game. It's just a video.
