Comment Simple REACTION TIME (Score 1) 99

Dota is a complicated game but its a 5v5 and a hive mind will always be more organized than five individuals.
More importantly there are items to Hex, Silence, Disarm and otherwise disable other characters and a fight can be decided on who gets disabled first.

Human beings have mental reaction time and physical processing time of moving a mouse to the right coordinates.
Computers have none of that and they will always click on you before you can click on them. That doesn't make them smart.

Comment No Shortage of free games (Score 1) 334

Steam has so many free games... my favorite game DOTA is free and after thousands of hours only gets more fun.
People get attached to free stuff and like the Buddhists say attachment is the source of all suffering. It sucks to lose but lets not blow things out of proportion.

There are so many free games on pc and cell phone and tablet people dont need your childhood games.
I get it I love mario too but the industry will survive without a new generation playing mario. its an old outdated game and id never be able to put a thousand hours into it. what it did influences what we see now and it will continue to do so without rom sites.

Comment I can't unsubscribe (Score 2) 100

The unsubscribe button literally does nothing in the app.
Online it says there's a bug and to use the chat service...

If you ask the chat service to unsubscribe it says "MoviePass is currently aware of an issue affecting check-ins to non-eticketing theaters. Our team is working hard to identify the issue and find a solution." and then i get a message stating that the conversation is closed.

Now i've been charged for another month because I can't cancel the subscription.
Looks like I'll have to go to the bank to cut them off o_0

p.s. Back in the day after I signed up for movie pass they never sent me a card and I had to go to the better business bureau just to get a response from them and a card mailed out.

Comment Adobe Mismanagement (Score 1) 57

Flash had so much potential but was mismanaged to death.. quite literally apparently.
Apple didn't want flash running on it's phones but that's a total non-issue because how many of us open a web browser on our phones to interface with rich content? Basically nobody - we all use apps! And Flash code can seamlessly port to ios or android as an app and many of the top games were made in flash for a long time. You probably didn't even know you were running flash code because it was ported.

It's ridiculous and a little bit funny that this platform died bc adobe didn't understand it's utility.

Comment Re:Look to CBS (Score 1) 165

The amazing prices for content that existed at the dawn of home video streaming cannot last.
You'll sound ridiculous if you lament them.

I'm talking about comparing to cable not comparing to some specialized base case scenario of netflix.

True it's fragmenting but I don't mind paying $10 each to 7 different services.
If they're spending millions of dollars per episode of hit content then I am getting my moneys worth and loving the ride. Otherwise you cancel one service and watch the others. That's the beauty of the fragmentation you only pay for what you want.
