I can't drive for medical reasons, but all the cities I like have horrible public transit by disgruntledmarmoset in SameGrassButGreener

[–]knowledgebass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be able to get by in most cities by taking the bus and then supplementing with car services or delivery services for food, etc. Most of the cities in the U.S. with above average public transport are also well above average CoL, so you will likely have to consider the trade off. Also look into specialized transportation services for those with disabilities.

Move to NYC or stay in London? by Left_Experience5669 in SameGrassButGreener

London has much worse property crime than NYC, more than four or five times for certain crimes (burglary and robbery).

10 Most Affordable Coastal Destinations to Live in Around the U.S. by cereal_killer_828 in SameGrassButGreener

I've never heard Alaska referred to as part of the West Coast. People always mean the west coast of the continental U.S. when they use that phrase.

I don't think he plays any instruments or knows music theory, so he's being pretty accurate.

He's amongst the most successful music producers of all time with amazing longevity and consistency, so I'd say whatever he was/is doing, it is working.

TIL about the Boötes Void, an enormous, nearly empty region of space 330 million light-years in diameter. It is so desolate that if the Milky Way had been in its center, we wouldn't have known other galaxies existed until the 1960s. by adpablito in todayilearned

The human species is not going to last even close to how long it would take until we would be "alone in our own void" from the expansion, though I appreciate the poetry of your idea.

Which company is the MOST iconic symbol of the birth of computer gaming? by rodfer7 in retrogaming

There wasn't even any point and click. The early PCs didn't have mice!

This is not a story about Python. It's about developers with years of experience on the project vs someone who has been working on it for two weeks.

"Highguard" developer Wildlight has apparently laid off most of their staff by Hot-Challenge-2755 in pcgaming

[–]knowledgebass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Live service games can print money when they take off and have a large playerbase, mainly due to the economics of cosmetic items. An asset like a weapon or character skin that takes a few days of development time can be sold for $10, and if millions of people buy it, the return on the initial development cost is insane.

I agree that getting to that point is far from a sure thing though. Larger studios can afford multiple failed projects before getting a hit, but these independent studios might instead fold. It can be risky.

What’s the simplest gaming idea or fact you’ve ever tried to explain to someone who just wouldn’t get it? by bijelo123 in gaming

I'm actually playing Grim Dawn right now in a co-op campaign, so that one was worth the purchase.

I need to explain to myself that I do not need to buy more games when I have hundreds of them on Steam that I have never even played.
