Well... An easy to download a client, keep a shortcut on the desktop. The user can track the amount of time invested... Achievements. (People love..achievements)... Extending the audience to a wider level. There are plenty other, however the dev said s/he is trying to push for it. So, I wish them luck. :)

This is amazing.

I shared this with my stepdad and his friend, and we started talking about retro-gaming and how things were in the 80's-90's with gaming.

I hope to see this hit Steam :)

Empathenosis | 12 years ago | on: Wait but why: Why Generation Y yuppies are unhappy

Interesting read, I found the tips at the end to be both... extremely practical, and kind of a mix of "You suck...BUT YOU DONT HAVE TO!".

However, I feel the writer is massively ineffective at communicating the tips at the end.

I think a few things could improve this to be readable by more than just the curious.

* - Stop lumping a 30 year gap into one group/personality. // While aware that you may not be, it doesn't come off as that, I may feel this way because I was born in '91.*

* - Start with a problem. Fix the problem, before the next problem. example: A lot of people with this mentality share another slightly dysfunctional mentality, with this [subject] you'll come across this [problem]. Here is how you fix it, and work past it. *

* - Work on the wording. You seem either pretentious or born in the 40's and pissed about how the world changed, unable to accept advancements/changes through the world, while being angry with a younger generation. (Also, this is the internet, just to be clear, I'm not trying to be an asshole.) *

I hope you understand. I was born in this generation of "GYPSYs" as you (or the author) called it, I don't feel a sense of entitlement, my sense of being 'special' isn't "I am better than you.", it's more so that I have a love of education, technology, and programming, and that's 'special' to me because quite a few of the people I've known in my generation strongly dislike those topics.

Frankly, I love working my ass off and seeing a small blade of grass popup in my metaphorical soil. I hope (not expect) some day this metaphorical soil will be covered in countless tiny blades of grass that end up becoming a gigantic metaphorical greener-grass that is my life.

There are plenty of people (young and old-alike) that feel they are entitled to things. Respect, Success, Money, Fame(?). Those people suck. But your entire mentality isn't based on the time you were born. I feel like the things experience it, mixed with your environment are what attribute to those types of mentalities. (Yes, the old Nature VS Nurture)

Empathenosis | 12 years ago | on: The unsung women of technology

Unsung? I have seen posts for the past two or three years of "unsung women of tech" quite often... I think they're.. "sung" now?

It should go without mentioning...but gender shouldn't (and doesn't) matter in fields. This is science, technological advancement. Your addition matters, not the space between your legs.

Empathenosis | 12 years ago | on: Why Texas Bans the Sale of Tesla Cars

I've seen Telsa cars around my area in Texas. To be fair, there are plenty of ways around it.

Also.... It's rather eye-opening that the Yahoo community is so toxic. I don't really stick around to check out the comments, but....Damn. It seems like a ton of unintelligent hate-filled people congregated to this one and are having a massive party.
