I almost clicked on the link, but then I saw it was buzzfeed. You can safely assume the whole "story" is clickbait nonsense.

Make a sequel of Daikatana, loaded with all of those elements in abundance. They'll immediately stop being cool.

Do they really not realize that this is actually way scarier than simply saying that they were hiding this wallet all along?

Because that's cruel and unusual punishment, you fucking psychopath. This is the sort of shit serial killers come up with. I'm now considering starting a petition to compel psychiatric care for this ass clown.

$19/month honestly isn't that bad for what you're getting. I'm a member of a few indie dev communities, and I've seen what pre-release versions of the engine can do. It's very impressive, and one guy can do a whole hell of a lot more by himself in a month than he used to be able to, and make it look good in the process. However, I can't help but think they'd have a bigger market share if they used the old pricing model instead. It used to be free to play with, and free to sell games with unless you made over $50000usd. On the other hand, I doubt the decision was made arbitrarily. These guys watched the market, and saw how their engine was being used. I'm guessing a lot of indies had games that didn't make it to the $50k mark, so much so that a subscription cost is better.

It was never strange to begin with. Also, you sound like a twat. Stop that.

When I was in primary school, it was pretty evident that I was bored in class, simply because it was too basic. You know what they did? The just pushed me forward a year. And then another, and another, and another. This meant I was 10 when I started high school. You know what sucks about being 10 in high school? Everything. Other kids are assholes - even more than usual - because you make them look bad. Teachers expect more from you, but at the same time, they don't really want to put up with you. Even PE is bullshit at that point, because 10-year-olds suck at physically keeping up with 14-year-olds.

I'm not sure about the numbers, so I don't know if this is a worthwhile endeavor, but here's what I always thought would be a better solution: gifted students should progress at a social pace similar to other kids. This means they would be in a class with other students their age who had also been placed in the gifted student program up until the age of 17 or 18, when they would normally graduate high school anyway. The major difference would be that these students, at a time deemed fit by qualified educators, would begin earning college credits. That way, they would have a running start upon entering college, and not be socially crippled.

In other news, I had hotdogs today. Though I suppose that would be on slashdot too if I had written a fucking dissertation about it. Who gives a fuck if some random jackass stops using one of Google's apps?

Students less likely to follow safety procedures. News at 11.

"I'm putting my game on sale for a couple weeks" is not even close to "I'm moving to a freemium model". Lovell is an idiot, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

That's forming a bank, not impersonating one.

As near as I can tell, there's nothing especially tech related in this story. She screwed up in a way that many before her have screwed up, it's just that she happened to use facebook to do it. Nothing to see here.

I need it. For research purposes.

"putting them together and trying to imagine them popping up a decade ago really illustrates how odd it has become"

So news stories today wouldn't have made sense ten years ago, when we had different technology and expectations. That's some crack journalism right there.

Serious question here: how do 18 year olds not understand compound interest? I'm pretty sure I understood at least the basic concept by the time I was 12.
