on: No Man’s Sky Is A Huge Procedurally Generated Sci-Fi Exploration Sim
This game came out of nowhere, the VGX show was basically being hyped of AAA titles, but no one was expecting an indie title to get as much hype as it's getting right now. I think the next gen consoles are making it much easier for devs to develop on, though frustratingly its still far more difficult to publish on console then mobile, mainly because you need to first be approved into the developer program before they even consider letting you publish games. Regardless, it seems to be moving in the right direction, although somewhat slow.

1/2 million? Waterloo has 100k residents, kitchener has 200k, Cambridge is too far from Waterloo to be counted in that group

this is very true, very low valuation, a friends company got into an incubator, a very well known incubator in SV, and their current investor called them retards because the valuations wasn't proportionate to revenue...

Man its depressing, its been a year post graduation and all my friends have moved to Silicon Valley, I'm working on a start up so I stayed, but its really hard when literally every technical person you used to chill with has moved out.

on: Have young people in Japan stopped having sex?
I think the referring to "a Japanese" vs "a Japanese man/woman" sounds a little racist, it shouldn't, it makes syntactical sense, but I guess its the cultural influence on the language, I don't know why I brought it up, I was just really taken back when you said "I'm married to a Japanese"

on: Have young people in Japan stopped having sex?
why does saying "married to a Japanese" sound so much more awkward then saying "married to an American/Canadian"

I wanna know how the author managed to write 30 pages of text in 1hr45mins (15 minutes each day for a week), the most I can manage in that time frame is most 7, 30 is incredible.

I highly recommend reading Power of Now (terrible title) but one of the best books I've found on the topic, more about awareness then practical guide into meditation.

I think this seems to be my biggest problem, the older I get the more cynical I'm becoming, and I hate it. Any tips on looking at ideas through the lens of curiosity rather then cynicism?
