They'll probably just pay someone else to do it for them with the oil money as usual.

"Majority" choice my ass. In republics we elect oligarchs to rule for us. I wish it was mob rule like in an Athenian Democracy.

Sure. I disagree with the news item text though. "been available under a modified BSD license" my ass. It's a non-commercial license pure and simple. Nothing BSD about it.

The banks are being forbidden by the ECB to buy Greek government bonds in case you did not read those news either. They still need the financial assistance anyway.

You don't get it do you? Been hearing the news? The ECB is threatening to stop providing "liquidity assistance" to Greek banks. Banks not the government.

The government will also hit into a liquidity problem eventually but the government is actually the entity with the least liquidity issues.

I did the math once. It takes a decade of work to get enough money to buy a house here. That's assuming you save it all and don't spend a dime on things like food, clothes, transportation, housing, etc. In my grandfathers time, who bought the house may parents live in, he saved the money for it in two years while working two jobs. That's the difference. It used to be like 3 years salary and now it is 10.

Low people don't care to progress because they know the chance of them actually succeeding is near that of winning the lottery. So why bother.

You are wrong though. The living standards in the US started getting worse when personal income taxes for the rich went down and the loan rates went down.

When loan rates go to zero house prices tend to infinity. Also back when personal income taxes for the rich were higher they would rather keep the money in their corporations and increase net wealth creation via empire building.

In other words they take inflation into account as expected.

"zero interest" articles are usually priced with the value of money in mind. In a country with inflation 10 pesos today will be worth 10-10*.25 or whatever pesos in a year. Don't think they do not take that into account.

The problem is nausea. I still remember Descent on VR glasses in the 1990s. Puke.

Don't worry. The Occulus will most likely end up as a flop anyway.

No. It's the Greeks are blaming the Germans for pressing the Greek Goverment to bailout Greek PRIVATE Banks which owed money to German Banks.

It takes a lot of time to do it so eventually people just started using 3D rendered models rendered into 2D sprites and shit. The articles goes in this regarding Diablo and I know it happened in several other games as well.

The graphics in Duelyst look, to me, like rasterized vector graphics or traced graphics not actual pixel art.

One problem that "artists" usually have is that the graphics look excellent while the gameplay sucks donkey balls because they have no technical ability whatsoever. But I don't know what happened in this case.
