I'm really happy for Josh, I loved the blog posts. Always so honest and straight forward. Sadly, many SaaS companies hit a brick wall after initial investments and the first growth…

While I don't have any data on it. I think that retention tactics that drag out the process might be more harmful in the future. Especially in terms of brand image. I might be canc…

True, true. I didn't think it that way.

One other big reason for failure is overseeing luck. Especially if you are new to something and without the judgement of past endeavors you somehow manage success with either sheer…

>Pay for ad time slots, not user impressions. This is probably the worst thing you can do to online advertising. It's probably one of the only good things about the online ad indus…

I'm really glad to hear this. Morhaime, Bowder, and all deserve to create games that they feel attached to. Just grab Samwise and Metzen so we can go back to the 2000s :)

This is similar to how yoga affects your body. The first step of mending something is awareness. If you know what's broken you can fix it. Many people who start doing yoga start fe…

I have a similar approach too. Not shapes or colors, simply I imagine a cat that is sleeping and try to see things from a cats perspective. It's weird but gets me to sleep almost i…

I normally have a really difficult time focusing on things, especially work related, this is mainly due to the noise and movement in an office setting. I've been working from home …

In my opinion, this isn't strictly true for educational games. There are many genres out there while some of them are just about reflexes but some games require strategizing, teamw…

Well, you are correct. The average officer outside of the US is not scary. Especially European cops. The first time I visited the US after living in Australia for years, was quite …

There needs to be a psychology study done with cops to understand why they act the way they do. I believe there's an underlying problem in how they are trained or something else be…

Now I have to watch the trilogy :) I probably know all the dialogues by heart now but still, it will be a good exercise to study the battles rather than just watching them. I alway…

Totally agree. I was searching for this comment. It's extremely unlikely that a work year was 300 days thousands of years ago. But I don't think the workers had weekends either. So…

It's not just a case of buying 'ugly food' or bruised apples. When I order online, I get potatoes that are sprouting, onions that have gone soft, meat with excessive fat or skin, a…

I don't think that would fix the issue. The majority of the pollution used to come from developed countries, now it comes from developing countries and their products are used by o…
