By Friday afternoon I feel sick. I'm wondering if this explains why.

Same as voting in elections?

Though we do vote with our wallets too.

The video is mostly of the upper classes and military. Looks nice but I'm pretty certain I'd prefer to live now. I'm actually from n Ireland but live in the Scotland. The class sys…

I get the feeling that this is people over hyping their field to boost their own status. It's amazing technology, but I doubt there's any emergency here. In another way this remind…

What have we traded away?

Or it's a way to increase your status while not doing your actual job. "Look at how moral I am!". I'm wondering how long this crap will continue. I'm hoping it becomes a cliche and…

Mario 64 has 209 mario animations. I think this is probably the reason other 3d platformers at the time felt stiff in comparison. Also they realised at some point in development th…
