Unfortunately the site in general has gotten increasingly unhinged lately. One of those is a literal "well, actually" defending torture! I wish you'd stop playing this "I don't wan…

Simple sentences are great for simple ideas. Most video games, including most RPGs, only have simple ideas. You appear to have linked to an anime. We’re discussing video games.

Yeah if I’m being honest my position is pretty close to https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/03/video... but I know this is way too radical for HN.

Pokémon (most of them) have pretty good writing. Planescape Torment has ok “endcap of the airport bookstore fantasy shelf” writing. You’re making exactly the mistake I’m talking ab…

I find FPS writing is often a lot better, probably because there is a lot less of it. Yes, RPGs have a more narrative focus so more nuance to characters or whatever but you're aski…

The bar for epubs is so fucking low I have a hard time believing this matters at all. Just last week I bought a book set in the late Middle Ages which managed to transcribe all “þ”…

“At Yale” is bearing virtually the entire plausibility load of that extract.

The further you go, the less you know.

Probably both true, I would not recommend myself for the role either.

I haven’t kept up but sad if so. Colbert was always at his best when he brought lots of himself to the show, in contrast with Stewart who was great at capturing public vibes.

Awful. One of the best things about Stewart is that (I thought) he was smart enough to step out when he was done. Now it’s going to be an old tired man making out of touch japes ab…

Lots of dick jokes are also fertility symbols / rituals today.

ping6 and ping4 are symlinks to ping on my system, and are equivalent to passing -4 or -6 to force a specific version. The default behavior negotiates either fine.

Also my thought - only 90m for a single non-SME to migrate a full stack across two hosting providers? Sounds pretty good for something so fundamental!
