As a player it was just less annoying back in the dedicated server days, since cheaters were dealt with immediately. Nowadays you have to report them in most of the competitive games and then it can take anywhere from several hours to weeks

My parents got a Malamute puppy and he could be left unleashed without any issues until he was about 1.5 - 2 years old. Then the instincts kicked in and he would hunt after anything that moved, so that they had to start using a leash to pre

For long distance flights, I'm doing the opposite of 2), where I'll stay awake on purpose the day before the flight, so that I can sleep through most of it. However, this only works if you're able to sleep in a plane.

Kickstarter still feels like such a grey area to me. Only a few of the games I've backed ended up in a product that I would've bought, if it was a regular released game. Nowadays, I prefer waiting until the actual release version

One big problem with Timthumb was that several themes came pre-bundled with it and to make matters worse, they often changed the name of the file, so that it wasn't enough to just scan for the filename but also for variants and file co

I'm sorry, I must remember it wrong then. I recall that I had the option to buy either of them at the time and that I had to place a preorder for the Jukebox 3, which kept on getting delayed for quite a while. Also, this was not in NA,

This is anecdotal, but maybe it'll explain a bit more where I was coming from in regards to my reaction to the initial ipod reveal. Back then, my music player adaption went from CD Player, CD Player with MP3 CD support, to Nomad Jukebo

Yes, but that doesn't work if you require Windows, such as for gaming. There's SteamOS, but its support is still limited. If gaming was as universally supported on linux as on Windows, then I'd switch right away, but unfortun

I fully agree. Plus, most of those games are lacking in at least one of the two areas, so that you end up with either a bad game, or a bad programming lesson. Maybe the new VR market is going to introduce some new ideas in that area, but so
