Hoping for this practice to trend.

Feeling down about my game project because it took me a year to release an updated prototype and not much has changed.

I'm against pardoning turkeys because it implies that we are eating them as a punishment for their crimes instead of our own

Moore’s Law is dead and any advancement in computer hardware comes at great development cost.
When the PlayStation 6 comes out you’ll be eyeing the GabeCube.

It's so weird seeing people crash out over the potential price of the Steam Machine. To me it was pretty obvious it'd be priced like a PC, not like a Console.
Hell, I'd be shocked if the next generations of consoles won't be priced like a PC.

Want to know why attempting to take over a capitalist party is a futile endeavor that wastes our time and resources? 86 out of 213 House Dems voted to openly condemn socialism when recent polls have found 74% of Dem voters approve of democratic socialism. The party IS the problem.

Trying to roll back environmental protections should be seen as inciting violence against the public.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.
