I've made games in Löve and with straight Python and it's always a lot of fun...though challenging at times. Where I tend to struggle is with the overall game structure. Without be…

Fun game! And the subtle animation effects are great. One suggestion...it's unclear to me why I would sign up. Maybe offer a few details so I know why I would sign up for this.

I was wondering the same thing and I'm in Chrome. The "Horizontal" and "Vertical" sections don't seem to do anything, but maybe I'm just not understanding what I should be looking …

Ahhh, there it is. That's a good approach.

I like this randomized reservation approach. What if, in addition, a nominal fee was charged just to have a chance to purchase a Steam Machine? Let's say $3 (or whatever). Then, al…

I have a firm rule of leaving any website where I run into this behavior. No exceptions.

I hate this new web behavior and leave sites immediately whenever I run into it.

Oh yeah. Totally agree. What a character Petersen is. Used to marvel at him on Headbanger's Ball.

How can you say they are wrong about "everything"? I built a retro game clone once and I used that project as a way to try out AI. While it wasn't perfect, it definitely wasn't wro…

In watching the demo, I didn't come away with the impression that they were removing search results. Yes, they are pushing AI hard, but users can still opt to use Google in the mor…

How can you say Google search is "totally irrelevant" and follow that with "I'm aware that most people still use it"?
