Nah it's actually decent.

Then again I didn't get the cowboy bebop hate either. It was okay? Like not OMFG THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, but it wasn't as shit as people claim it was. I fairly enjoyed the show, even after rewatching the anime right before.

One Piece actually captures the flow and the mood of the anime. It is over the top, like the anime, but realistically toned down so it doesn't seem like it's trying too hard. The pace is good and the changes to the story seem coherent to adapting as an live action and for people who have heard of One Piece but never really got into it. The dialogues aren't literate master pieces but they really do not need to be. The special effects sometimes look a bit weird but they didn't bother me too much.

Game itself is a ton of fun. If you and your friends just want to learn the game you can just print out the cards, no problem. Or if you want real^TM^ cards you can get a starter kit with 2*60 card decks for about 10-15$ from your local game store. (Or amazon if you are in a remote area with no Game Stores.) They are not the best decks, but they are balanced to each other and the cards are simple enough for new players to navigate.

Better Magic Cards do mostly 2 or 3 things at once and can combo with others or are just great by themselves. Not that worse Magic Cards can't combo or anything, they just need more setup or can be a bit niche in their usefulness.

Seems like avoiding context switching and all the overhead associated would make a big difference when pretty much everything in cache is critical data.

It's not. Like the commenter above said: It's a fraction of the task at hand. Especially when you design the rest of the system to run only if necessary. Context Switches are what? like 50 CPU Cycles? Store Registers, Store TCB, Load other TCB and load other register states jump back to PC. Maybe some other OS Shenanigans, but that's basically it.

Now Imagine complex calculations on a 25-Dimensional Matrix.

Also only releasing on one console is a relict of the past and misses out on so many sales.

We have the technology to compile to every current gen console + pc with the right engines. Square should release their games for all consoles at once.

There's some things called software architecture, requirement engineering and software design. More dev teams should try this.

When my then senior dev left and made his own company and asked me if I'm willing to go on a bumpy ride with him.

I'm currently Employee Number 3 (the other 2 before me beeing the owners) and am happier than in any other odd job I had.

The company we left doesn't really look that good right now, but they are backed by a gigantic mother company.

People referred to diogenes as a dog as a form of insult, but diogenes was like "YOU KNOW WHAT FUCKERS? THAT SHOE FUCKING FITS." and then he called himself "Diogenes the dog".

As you could maybe tell I may have paraphrased a bit. But who knows, I don't speak old greek. I had latin in school.

Always leave it to the actual users to find any bugs you didn't think of, lol.

It's just Chromium in disguise anyway.

If the publisher ceases to exist and you lost the CD/DVD you don't own that media as well. Since you lost it. So the point you are trying to make in regards to GOG and Bandcamp is invalid. Those explicitly state that whatever you buy there is yours to own and keep.

GOG only has the convenience that you COULD get it back, if you lost it.

Anyway back to topic: This is the reason why I buy the media from digital distributors, download the media, crack the encryption, which I am allowed to do, because European Laws and this is my own bought copy of this media. I self-host it on a physical server I have access to and give no public access to it. I bought this thing to own, not to own the right of consumption.
