My earlier post made me think of the image below, which was making the email rounds a few years ago. I don’t even remember who sent it to me or where it came from, but it’s always been one of my favorites.
This is not that far from the truth.
Are Lootboxes Gambling?
Obviously they are. Right? Actually, is this another one of those sneaky hard-to-define things?
Good to be the King?
Which would you rather be: A king in the middle ages, or a lower-income laborer in the 21st century?
Best. Plot Twist. Ever.
Few people remember BioWare's Jade Empire, but it had a unique setting and a really well-executed plot twist.
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
Batman v. Superman Wasn't All Bad
It's not a good movie, but it was made with good intentions and if you look closely you can find a few interesting ideas.
Heh, I have a variant of that poster hanging in my cube (this is pretty much what I do)…
Man, I remember seeing something a lot like that as Xerox-ware 30 years ago. Scary that it’s just as relevant today as it was then.
Bureaucracy would have designed it like the analyst, except without the left-side support.
Instead there would be hanging from the left branch at least one geegaw (insisted on by the legal department), a whatsit (to fulfill Minority/Women Business subcontracting goals) and a dumbfoozle (required to obtain federal funding), and they would be balanced by a huge thingamajig to the right (forced on the project by a politician).
And don’t forget the peons sticking bandaids on the cracks in the remaining support…
Oh good lord. And I just heard today our analysts are so far behind us programmers are being retasked with writing requirements. For stuff that’s already been developed, natch.
I think I must post this on my cube.
Ha! Sounds like our work! I mean, not where I work now…another place. A place I USED to work at, you know…before.
I like the subtle Discworld reference…
HAHAHAHA…. it just keeps getting better!
FYI.. it took me 2 days (at work) to read DMoTR… yesterday and today…lol :D
