BC, you should get up. In twenty years, when you're fighting radioactive mutants in the shimmering glass desert that is post-Apocalypse America for the last sip of a puddle of brackish water and the tasty part of a decomposing two-headed rat, you'll wish you got up early today and enjoyed life while it was good.

I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
Yeah if I'm up past midnight I just pull an all nighter. It's easier that way.
This doesn't sound reasonable. Being awake all night was something I could barely manage when I was young and had godlike powers of recuperation. I guess you have trouble sleeping, though?

Co-worker walks by wearing a Hurley shirt. I do a double take as it's one of the ones from Tron Legacy and I ask him if he knows what he's wearing to which he is completely oblivious. *shakes head*
jake, girl called me yesterday being all "oh sorry i didn't respond to your messages... things were actually going too well and i panicked a bit and i'm sorry, lets do drinks on saturday"
LOOKS LIKE IT'S A GOOD THING I DIDN'T FREAK THE FUCK OUT, HUH
That's always a good damn sign
I am still unsure about mine. Except if I trust what she's saying, there's no reason to be.
But still, brains
we have some dumb situational things to work out before we can actually be a thing so like, the next few months are like "lets keep it casual" but then my brain is like "but how casual is casual aaaaahhhhhh"
Is there perhaps a way i can be casual and you can be exclusive
Perhaps
This is in quotes, you saying it to girl
I realize now it is vague
I'm still like incredibly nervous about the whole navigating being exclusive thing, because I like all of these people I'm seeing but I know I can't date several people at once forever.
And I'm like but what process will tell me the objectively best person to be with?! And I think maybe it's fine and I just keep dating people and one of them will prove to be the person I most enjoy spending time with considering several factors.
Still though early on it's like agh they're cute people who like me and share some common interests they're all completely perfect!

you have -no- idea
There are nights I'll sleep from eight to eight and wake up perfectly refreshed.
and then there are nights I can't sleep. At all.

One of the biggest German PC-games sites is currently lamenting the death of crowdfunding thanks to the stunt Sony just pulled. They might be right if other publishers jump onto the wagon (and really, why shouldn't they?).
Crowdfunding wont die, Shenmue was a special case.
Special as a deathknell?
It certainly doesn't help if a publisher uses crowdfunding as a marketing tool.
It was to gauge interest, how many people were actually willing to but a Shenmue 3 if it were to exist. Everyone in the world can say HELL YEAH I want they needed to see how many would put their money where their mouth is.
Bloodstained did the same thing, prospective investors want to know they are paying for a dud.
In the case of Shenmue Sony's head of 3rd party relations said last night if they were to do it internally it would of been a couple years to get the pitch through all the internal channels if it even would go through at all (remember Shenmue 1/2 were massive factors in what sunk Sega as a hardware company)
Yeah, but they actually lied about it. On stage, as far as I know. I hope Gamergate will take them on, because... :P
Yes that is true and should be called out for it.
And they continue to lie by omission on the kickstarter, not mentioning anywhere that they have support from Sony or that Sony is involved at all. Even the Bloodstained kickstarter lets people know there are investors waiting in the wings.
Funniest part was on Giant Bomb's day 1 podcast where they said it looks like Sony is behind it, and the head of Morpheus was with them at the moment, and he said "no, we just gave them a platform..." and they mentioned the livecast you heard the news from, and he said "okay, I didn't listen to that livecast, but I saw the talking points sony sent out and that's what I assume he would stick to, but okay"
Sony did not want people to know they were behind it and that consumer relations guy slipped up, seems to be the story here.
I think the head of SCEA said in the interview with Engadget that they were giving a platform to launch the kickstarter but had the intent to be more involved if it went well. Sounds like there was nothing contractual.

Kickstarter has been the new marketing for a while now. Serpent in the Staglands launched a kickstarter for hype then actually withdrew it and will launch another in the future, and now people know what it is and it has a lot more buzz than when the first kickstarter was done.

And now that I'm dating around I am like, wary of getting into that situation again. Because I have a tough time just saying eh this isn't working ENOUGH we should end it. So I'm fighting taking a next step with anyone
I don't know if it's a good thing or not. I just don't want to get into a relationship fast... There's still so many people I haven't dated..

Sony is the last large scale consumer tech company that actually innovates. Samsung, LG, Canon, Panasonic, etc. are so boring by comparison. In th last few years Sony completely reimagined the SLR and compact camera. Their LCD tvs have consistently been the best on the market by a mile. They even make really nice android phones and tablets. Back when they made PCs, the Vaio line was hands down the nicest on the market. They basically pioneered the ultrabook, even before the MacBook Air.
Apparently the guy who shot at George Zimmerman during a traffic altercation a couple of months ago is getting charged with attempted murder
The dude has a history of violence and clearly goes out attempting to provoke altercations. He's a terrible human being regardless of the fact he was not guilty in the first arrest.

Yes, he deserves to be stalked and killed since the jury refused to do their duty
Wasn't this based on something completely separate - a previous traffic altercation where Zimmerman was a dick? This wasn't a guy hunting Zimmerman down "for justice"
Also I was referring to the shooter. If only he had stood his ground harder he wouldn't be charged with murder

I have a really hard time looking at them as the only large scale tech company that innovates when the hololens, the self driving car, haptic trackpads and othersuch innovations are happening all the time from tech giants.
edit: and everything you are mentioning is more iteration than innovation. Iteration is good! It moves existing platforms forward in meaningful ways. But better phones and tablets that hew to the existing standard so very closely is not innovation.

On the one hand, yes, it plays into the preorder culture and means that quality doesn't need to be great because the money is already on the table.
On the other hand, it gives consumers the option to choose projects they want to get made and helps nostalgic projects get greenlit.

Basically, I'm treating it as a preorder, and that's it. I mean, I'm pretty sure shenmue 3 would have been greenlit regardless, given what it is.
But for 29 freedom papers I will get the game at some point in the future and that's pretty OK by me.
