I understand what you are saying, and I think you will be right most of the time if you followed that reasoning. I just think you are treating it a little too much like an axiom, and the problems with almost all axioms is that the world is a statist…

Being scared or frustrated with change in tech, or anything really, does not always mean closed mindedness. Sometimes it is just honest assessment. Frustration can be a positive.

I'm not buying anything new until there are hologram phones. I want to call my mom and have a little Star Wars style hologram of my mom pop out of my phone. Really, what's the point of getting a new thing if it doesn't involve holograms? I upgraded …

"Optimism"

I think this is sorta tied to the worries about AI. Are all robots going to be libertarian?

Very genuinely bummed to see his character go. I was listening to a story about him this morning and teared up a little. It is really really amazing the impact he has had with that show.

I don't get how optimism is going to save or help anything. Just seems like it will ignore/marginalize half of existence just like pessimism. Empathy and patience are where it's at.

A. I think I like Dominoes pizza the best of the huge chain pizza places now which is an opinion that I never thought I would hold because I totally had the worst food poisoning of my life from them 10 years ago. B. Soon we will probably just get t…

All you IJ junkies should check out Don Delillo's "End Zone".

I have been running through Adam Langer's books. He's not really a groundbreaking author but is solid, enjoyable, and writes great characters. Also, I've been sorta lukewarm on Jonathan Lethem, but the book Chronic City is pretty great.

Once upon a time there was a little record label in Dekalb Illinois called Scratch and Sniff Records. Most of the music was messing around and little shows in people's basements. There was this guy Andy Herald who is still to this day one of the bes…

Sure you are interacting with a ton of people and new people all the time, but even a "dumb" person is incredibly complex, and there are lots of people who are dumb on the internet (my parents) whom are amazing in real life. I don't think quantity i…

'Likes' are like crack. I miss just liking stuff in my guts.

I think I am solidly in the camp of I LOVE the internet for information but... most social networks are ruining the human race. Sports are a far superior form of bringing the various parts of the human race together. Why? If I have a thing to sa…

Someone showed me this earlier If I wasn't playing big dumb Destiny (speaking of bad voice acting) I would probably be downloading Minecraft tonight because of this video.

kmineym Good one. If I decide to go in on Minecraft I would love to check out your lands. I still don't completely understand how it works. You just sort of mine and build crazy stuff? It's sort of an MMO? Currently I'm doing FFXIV which is incre…

Minecraft just went to PS4. Never played but have heard it is pretty great.

I'm watching that Indie Game movie on Netflix right now. It is fascinating in the context of all this stuff. I think maybe some of these jerk programmer/hacker guys just drive themselves insane working so hard on these games. The games become so per…

Yeah...being a bald white guy is difficult when so many bald white guys have been jerks or racists and are constantly cast as villains and losers in everything and hours of informercial programming have been devoted to making them feel like shit abo…

That article seems to think it is because these guys think misogyny is limited to just jock-ish dudes and because they hate jocks they can't possibly be misogynistic. On a side note, why does it always have to be bald white guys who make these offe…

Maybe these jerk guys in those fields are the male version of women who are treated unfairly because of unfair body ideals, but instead of lashing out in humble and appropriate ways against their real problems they lash out in these horrible and bor…

It's not just gaming. Any sort of programming based work seems to be rife with sexism. It's pretty crazy, messed up and downright perplexing.
-
Only investment based iPhone games? What is the level of humor here? Do you guys like other things besides investment? Maybe a Sim City game?
-
I think the part of me that loves Zelda is the same part that loves Fez...it's not on gamecube though.
-
The middle segment with the new guy was also pretty great.

@Alex The original Tony Hawk was actually the reason I gave up video games for a long time. Games that pretty much have no ceiling for improving at playing them are bad news for me. PS4 is nice for all the indie games. PS+ gives you a free game on…

Ok really I am done after this but I think the point is there are several things that can be true at the same time. 1. Michael Brown didn't deserve to be shot. 2. There is a lot of racism in some police forces. 3. Guns do nothing but make probl…
