  • Yeah, as far as I’m concerned most AAA games might as well be part of a totally separate hobby that I don’t pay much attention to.

    Also the craft of game-making has improved, so that even an average modern game is in many ways better than the best games from 25 years ago. For example, consider Diablo II. I played the remake a lot and large parts were as good as I remembered but what really stuck out to me was how boring the boss battles are. The height of skill is running in a circle around Diablo when he does his lightning hose attack. It’s far worse than pretty much any modern ARPG, not because the technology has improved but because people have learned from Diablo II’s mistakes.

    Diablo II blew my mind in 2000 in a way that a better ARPG wouldn’t today, but that doesn’t mean that games have gotten worse. It means that I have gotten used to playing great games.







  • I was talking to a friend of mine about whether or not we would get along with exact copies of ourselves. He didn’t think that he would want to spend much time with his copy, but I thought I would love my own company in that sense. We would have the same values, the same goals in life, the same likes and dislikes, the same hobbies, the same sense of humor, etc. And all that is just with a same-sex copy of myself that I would have no attraction to. An opposite sex (but still heterosexual) copy would also have the same sex drive and the same weird fetishes.

    Anyway, it’s still probably not worth fracturing one’s psyche for but with good arguments for each side. Reasonable people can disagree.







  • Reminds me of the time I was at work searching for a particular connector I needed.

    serial female female cable

    serial female female coupler

    serial female female coupling

    serial female female connector

    And so forth. I didn’t find the part I needed and so I had to solder it myself.

    No one said anything but this was a company where one of our sales guys was apparently soliciting prostitutes using his work email and no one knew until he got fired for other reasons and they went through his email looking for customer communications.
