So many people learn that there is subtitles through the comments section after many years of watching all his videos, probably because the videos are so enjoyable even without the explanations.
The one size fit all strategy I found when I played many years ago was to put all my crew in the infirmary and asphyxiate the boarding enemies by opening all airlocks :)
>I feel like a lot of Spain's history (note, I am casual observer) mentions "fascist"
That's because the same guy, Franco, the dictator, stayed in power the whole time. He wasn't fascist one year and something else the other one, and the fascist history of Spain was when Franco was in power.
Also on those pictures, the guy has is back all hunched and is holding the cat like a doll or a baby. Is it really the cat that give a less attractive vibe or the dorky posture of the guy on the picture?
Would the results be different if cat and man were posed differently?
I suspect that a picture of some guy going hiking with his cat would be seen different from some guy playing dolls with his cat in his apartment.
I've eaten Octopus in the past but didn't knew how intelligent those creature were until a couple of years ago. Since I saw multiple documentaries about them and read about them, I would now feel like a cannibal for eating them.
>The problem is that when the ZX, C64 etc were around there was no alternative. If you wanted to play games, you could either shell out for more hardware and purchase the games on disk or cartridge, or you could type them in from a magazine (several times) and hopefully save them to a cassette.
I agree. When there is no shortcut you find much more motivation to go the hard way. I was in that exact position when I was 10, and I kept messing up copying the basic lines from books so I got a book for kids that teached me basic, this way I was making my own code and could debug it. I made simple games completely from scratch that way it was how I got into programing.
I can understand that now with so many shortcuts available for kids the same motivation is not there anymore. It's like once you get access to cheat codes in a game that makes you invincible and gives you infinite money, the challenge is not there and you lose interest.
My favorite part is when they needed the version of the software that was used for the moon landing but they only had the source code for a previous version (scanned from giant binder) and the hash value of the version of the landing. By a series of educated guesses, by reading memos and by analysis of the source code they modified the old code the exact way so it gave them the correct hash, confirming that they correctly and exactly recreated the original code.
He told through the years his progress in his podcast (among other interesting things, like being one of the first developers at Uber and other fascinating stuff)
