This is exactly the reason QAnon took off. It evolved from ARG-ish games without the goal of being persuasive about real-world things. But a participant back then realized how peop…

But why is it OK if you dismiss someone's lived experience AND a few studies in favor of what is only your lived experience? Given the demographics of the site and people's explici…

I want to bring a note of positivity here -- while most comments seem to be poking holes in the concept, all also seem to acknowledge the need for such a service to be successful. …

Yeah, I've never quite understood the value proposition of that fee myself. Between that and the gatekeeping that happens to become an agent, it seems like it's a bit inflated and …

It must be some subset of expressions (or I must have set mine up wrong), because anything that calls a function (vs a simple conditional statement) appears to throw an error for m…

It's really useful to have access to an eval() function when paused in a debugger. That alone makes this useful -- it'd be great to have IDE's like Goland take advantage of this to…

The way I read it is that they are using 'luck' and 'risk' in the colloquial sense, where 'risk' equates with 'danger' and 'luck' equates with 'good fortune'. Basically they are sa…

Luckily for his point there are the other hundreds of millions of reliable cars on the spectrum between a broken one and a premium one!

I don't think this is new. 20 years ago, I loved game programming.. I even chose a game dev library in C++ as my senior (college) project. But my obsession also led me to read all …

You're in my state then. There is the one guy that's.. somewhat centrist, but he's pretty well back in the polling. SO now I'm figuring out what's the lesser of 3 evils that are co…

Exactly. I think there's a huge flaw in even the toned-down version of that that both sexes buy into -- making a dating profile (or just their public personality) as generically ap…

Pied Piper has got some serious competition!

Used to play a MUD called 'After Hours' from 95-97. It was not 'adult-oriented', as the name would imply, although that may be why my teenaged self chose it in the first place. Goo…

Nintendo is still the go-to for couch co-op, especially with players of varying skill levels. Between the flagship and indie games, their brand is still very much based around fami…

There's absolutely a glut of throwback adventure games on Steam nowadays. Take a look!

Depends on the game. Nintendo has some great family games I've enjoyed with the little one, and it's a good opportunity to present him with problems, have him think about what to d…

VR is very much here and functional.. I've been playing a few hours a week for the last year. There are certainly less AAA games than the main platforms (which is expected due to t…

Wait, so following suit would then lower prices in the US and pass on the costs to the rest of the world? ..Sold!

Seriously. I'd like to share this, but with that picture attached it limits my ability.

IMO, the change has to come from the grant financiers, and a case can be made that they get a greater more bang for their buck by adding requirements such as pre-registration, open…

They're still releasing some solid stuff -- but from what I understand there were some political dust-ups regarding which institutions got their priorities implemented first, which…

Those graphs don't show a prediction of an x% increase for a particular decade, however. It seems you're interpreting them as literal average temperature predictions for a decade, …

I'm not sure how a Google search for a series of loosely related graphs addresses either of my arguments. I assume you are thinking that their existence refutes them somehow, but I…

The argument that climate scientists claim x% of warming every decade is a straw man.. that is not a claim they have made and then failed at. They have claimed longer-term warming …
