Anecdotal, but I literally went from reading this message to looking down at my phone where one of my friends was re-posting (in support of) someone complaining on twitter: "Stop s…

This comment is not germane to the point you were making, just wanted to share: I am a web dev who knows nothing of the Collatz conjecture, so I had to check out the Wikipedia arti…

Yeah! The purple llama. The skill was probably Animal Lore. Best MMO ever! Thanks for giving insight into it.

I remember the vorpal bunnies. I seem to remember a bug where they would sometimes appear as an energy vortex sprite... Can you elaborate on why the creature learning was bad UX? D…

I love any UO-related post! Speaking of killing everything in UO, in what would be considered the "T2A" era of this game (I'm estimating something like 1998-1999), I remember manip…

Awesome. I've been intending to look for writings and talks by Raph Koster lately. For unaware readers: he was the lead designer for Ultima Online.

I didn't present it as my attitude, which any careful reader would note. The person I was responding to seemed confused based on the question they asked. I don't post on Reddit and…

What he is saying is that, generally, given the choice, women will prefer social work to asocial work.

Facebook ads are not responsible for the Brexit vote.
