I'm a huge fan of HN just for replies such as this that smash the OP's post/product with something better. It's like at least half the reason I stick around here. Thanks for the great read.

I converted along with most of the people in this thread. IMO no really hard problem is ever truly solved but as can be seen in other comments, this group of people really crushed the pain of me and *many* others, so bravo alone on that - y

This was wild to contemplate and I was about to raise my finger and say "Really?! 'G&A' at that scale?!" but at the same time even if those kinds of roles are over-hired - they have to be responding to need and wit

Propel and Zero (the first options) both contain sucralose, aka Splenda - I'd prefer to just drink salt water personally, or take the hit on a tablespoon of sugar mixed in and walk it off.

That's a highly compassionate reason to get into an industry, bravo. Is there a specific type of game you found healing, or especially one that you prefer to create for such a purpose? I personally strangely find a mix of 'brain t

I for one don't own a blu-ray anymore and really don't want to - they feel to me like LaserDiscs or BetaMax at this point! :) Plus, to fathom a three-year-old-destroyer-of-property handling your blu-ray disc collection, I shudder!
