In my work, I’ve learned that when you see a safety measure that looks overkill and that “no one can’t be that stupid” to do what the measure keeps you from doing is because, in fact, someone was that stupid.

So when the dumb person tries to insert a fork in the plug, they don’t die electrocuted.

I understand they pulled the plug, what pisses me off is them being assholes and saying that you can’t look for an alternative to a service that they decided to kill.

Thanks for pointing the Jurassic Park inaccuracy! Indeed we…er the Velociraptors were not as depicted in that film, we they were covered in feathers and much more similar to a modern turkey both in size and aspect than to what you see in the film. By the size of it, the film probably depicted a Deinonychus, which was another dromaeosaurid of a size that went up to 3 mt (roughly 11 ft).

The Utahraptor, another dromaeosaurid, was double that size, making it too big to what the film calls a Velociraptor.

Nintendo: Remember kids, you bought the console, but we decide how you use it.

Unless you live in a country where you are not allowed to write code or to pay other people, I don’t see why you couldn’t pay someone to do something that is not illegal in your stead

Soon coming to your best red states.

Indie games don’t have shareholders demanding extra-short term profits to please, they can afford to innovate. An AAA game needs to pay the shareholders as fast as possible, and how to do it? Well, the way they do it now; take your cod, or fifa, or whatever AAA ip you want and you’ll see how the patterns repeat in all of them.

AAA games are the fast food of videogaming.

Ideally, it has to be a big publisher that spends a ton of money on it.

In truth, an AAA game can be spotted by a price tag of over 60 €/USD, at least one season pass, 3+ different editions, a huge day-1 patch and a lack of anything that’s not predatory monetization of any remaining gameplay elements.

I’ve been diagnosed at the tender age of 36, because my lovely parents didn’t give a fuck about all the signals and the teachers “hints”.

Up until then, it’s been hell, and I’m not exagerating when I say that I don’t know how I made it this far in life. When you are one of the “lucky” ones that only suffer from what is now called “functional” autism (aka there is no cognitive disability), you struggle with most social aspects, you torture yourself thinking you are weird, you hate yourself because it’s obvious (only for yourself) that there is something wrong with you that you can’t understand.

A diagnosis is not a death sentence but an answer to what is happening in your brain to make it work differently. Now, I am starting to get help, I am asking for acomodations that make my life easier and I understand what is happening in my head. And most important, I’m not ashamed anymore when my “weirdness” leaks out because I understand it.
