Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    Coke, what was that weird Korean crab robot you were trying to show me in chat yesterday?
    South Korea's Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs is dedicating a great deal of time and money to this project in order to have a small army of versatile robots ready to engage in rescue missions as well as underwater exploration.

    Those things.

    I was overstating it for effect but basically my problem is that analysis treated as an end in and of itself rather than as a tool to improve one's writing, with all of the terrible practices that implies.

    I didn't really

    I don't agree with your thesis though

    I think the real reason is more obvious and mundane

    Well, I had a head start on bullshitting during my school days, but I do appreciate that English classes served as an important introduction to bullshitting for some of my fellow students.

    the real complaint being that it should also support flash.

    but honestly, flash is a horrible platform at this point

    I'm okay with this for 2 reasons:

    1. I will most likely never own an iPad

    2. Flash needs to DIAF. Apple putting another nail in its coffin is fine by me.

    So I really should start with Blood Meridian even though I'm kind of tired of Westerns?

    blood meridian is mindblowing

    it's not so much a western as an anti-thematic epic of horror

    antithematic?

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    neither do any other ARM based devices, outside of a few people in Adobe's limited beta

    the real joke here is that while Adobe keeps blaming Apple, even if Apple said"yeah, sure, have at it", Adobe's perpetually-in-beta ARM flash client still wouldn't work on anything lower than a 3GS because it needs a super-beefy Cortex A8 or higher processor.

    man I don't give a shit if flash is a horrible thing or not I just know that not having it on something basically used solely for surfing the net would be very, very annoying

    It really does. That's why some people are happy that the iPad doesn't have it, but supports HTML5 and CSS3, hoping that will push the web past Flash.

    But it probably won't, and iPad users are just gonna get fucked in the end.

    Edit: Which is fine, because fuck Apple, as far as I'm concerned.

    I don't miss Flash a great deal on my iPhone. It wouldn't run very well and I hate using Flash websites to begin with.

    I think you're completely wrong. Already we're dismissing flash out of hand for new projects because we'd have to do work over to hit the largest segment of mobile web users.

    I wonder if anyone has ever looked into Adobe's financials and seen any mysterious large payments from Russia.

    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.
