This is an old thread, but I have to thank you for recommending this book. I ordered it and have been hooked! Incredible writing and storytelling. Thanks from this Texan.

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 stealing from $ETHNIC_MERCHANTS! It's not just a cu

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 article for it. Thanks for teaching me something today. I wrote

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? Did people get irritated when the wolves were killing their r

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 manipulating the line-of-sight bug that let you at

Memories. What did we call this? "Server wars" if I remember correctly.

Working at Amazon is literally no one's "only choice" in the US. In fact, I would bet on it being a better option than most of what is available to low or unskilled workers.

Couldn't that be chalked up to how insanely busy people in such positions must be in their day-to-day life?

> primary school isn't pointless even though most people master it. That's because the knowledge taught in primary school is way more essential to day-to-day life. If people don't know those skills then our society fails.

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 you should keep your asinine suggestions to yours

Maybe, maybe not. A key difference is your friends are posting for themselves, but the suggestions are posts tailored for _you_.

LoL takes a lot of skills and knowledge and experience to master, too. And I don't think it's accurate to imply that League of Legends owes its popularity as an e-sport to financing. Sure, it was a factor in its success, but remem

My thoughts exactly. The overall attitude of the article seems to be, "Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia where the content is determined by the community, but since I perceive this not to be the case it is time to play dirty.

Your previous article made me remember about and subsequently purchase PICO-8. I've been hooked since then. If anyone out there is considering buying PICO-8, go do it! It's so much fun.

That was my first thought too. Sonic the hedgehog and his sidekick Tails was a fox.

Howard Stern went through a very expensive and drawn out war with the FCC, of which most of the lawsuits were fought around content that is commonplace in mainstream media today. I think the battles he fought in the 90s went a long way to r

So Twitter's verification is more about access to this socially elitist feed? That may be a feature, but I think the primary function is to avoid people impersonating well-known public figures on the platform. Removing Milo's chec

Removing his blue check was especially ridiculous to me. "Because you are who you are, you can no longer be verified."

I just happened to have listened to that bikeshed episode last night. It's damn good and Sandy Metz is a captivating speaker. Check it out!
