It'll go over people's heads so I'll have no chance of ranking very high. Which is why I'd rather have comments from a handful of people saying they "get it" than hundreds of bad ratings from people who try it for 10 seconds (heh) and give up.
Nonetheless I enjoy doing esoteric games in game jams, questioning assumptions in game design. I feel like it's a waste of time to do "just a platformer" when you're in an environment where creativity flows.
Edit: I see OP's now going around tagging people on the site as "Hacker Newser", please don't do that. I'd rather not be labeled as a HN user.
"Decentralized", so it centralizes the functionality of many services. Okay then.
You've bitten off more than you can chew by going against Flickr/Youtube/Soundcloud. You don't really offer anything they don't, just a promise of ethics like "it's free".
Yeah, what's up with the trend of maximum black-on-white contrast with a huge font? Do people out there think it looks good, or is it just a default layout they haven't bothered to change?
It hurts my eyes, especially at night, and gives a sort of condescending vibe - "what I'm saying is really important so I'll spell this out like you were reading an alphabet book".
Except it's not "new and bold", it's literally Ubuntu on a smartphone for far above the market price. Add some marketing buzzwords about how it will revolutionize computing and people start seeing clothes on the emperor.
Haha oh wow. They're charging hundreds of dollars to add a free OS into a smartphone. And they expect to get 32 million just for the promise. Someone lock these people up before they do some real damage.
You're setting me up for a trap with the list thing - if I linked somewhere you'd simply say it was
racist data and question the validity of the sources.
Instead I'll go for the route of scientific analogy. If dogs have races, why wouldn't humans? After all, humans are not biologically above or separate from animals. Why would basic evolution stop applying with humans?
Mind you, the existence of races doesn't have to imply inferiority or superiority between them. People seem to be afraid that would happen, so they throw the baby out with the bathwater by denying the whole concept of race altogether. Much like the article says.
Human races are not a matter of belief. Look at the people around you, look at different cultures and their trends across centuries. You're one of those people who could take a lesson from this article.
Like, yeah it's supposed to help high school students familiarize themselves with commercial game development, but how? Do they visit your high school and hold a presentation? If it's just information on a website, why do you need to register? If it wasn't by Valve it'd sound like a scam.
These sort of articles are definitely the worst part of HN. Take some common practice, invent dumb rules against it just to be contrarian, publish and get people fighting against each other.
This is such a dumb argument. People say "drug" isn't a meaningful classification because it mixes different categories of substances, and in the next sentence they're equating coffee with LSD, apparently to defend the use of the latter.
