I wish I could just buy this. I'm not motivated enough to make it and I'd be disappointed with the quality of a home made version.


Take the files to office max and print on heavy cardstock. It makes very reasonable quality games. I design board games as a hobby and this is what I do. 100s of games played and good enough quality to pitch to publishers.


I don't think you can buy it. The license is non-commercial.


That's a pretty stupid claim.


Please don't name-call or post shallow dismissals here. Those are two of the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.


iPhone X does this by default and only shows the message contents once Face ID verifies you.


Molyneux was/is such a massive bullshit artist, that he would even make promises in front of crowds that the game devs had never even heard before. He just let his imagination and mouth run wild.


Maybe the line between hoax and avantgard, never tryied before isnt as clear cut as many want it to be.

If you venture into unchartered territory, trying things not done before- you are exploring a very branchy maze- and sometimes its only sheer luck keeping you from exploring a promising dead end.

To a outsider, or somebody years later, looking down from the knowledgeable mountain of history- such simple decisions seem "strange" and wastefull. But down, in the trenches of today, they where the best move available.

Kickstarter money was always play money of those investing, and once it has been used up- what should those developing eat?

Love and air from the fans? He runs off with little sums, while at least delivering, while others venture off with full studio budgets and deliver next to nothing?


Murray deserves more respect than Molyneux. Where Molyneux was off to the next shiny idea after underwhelming is fans once again, Murray is still working hard on getting NMS to where they promised it would be at launch. Atlas Rises patch brought a lot of much needed content and I'm really looking forward to their latest anounced update.

Peter's problem was that he didn't just release the game without all the promised features, he wouldn't even hang around to fix the bugs.


Exactly. Until we pay rent, wages & stock with Bitcoin, it's essentially just digital gold bullion.

You'd be an idiot to pay for any service with Bitcoin. A million dollar pizza makes for a great news story, but it would suck knowing that you effectively let go of millions of dollars just to buy a pizza.

Bitcoin holders are disincentivized from spending it.


It's almost like being inherently deflationary is a negative property for a currency to have...but that can't be true, because lots of cryptobugs have explained to me at great length why this is actually Good For Bitcoin.


Installing Linux is takes no more time is in anyway more complicated than installing Windows. Even installing Ubuntu on my laptop was a simple affair (including having the wifi work right away, in the installer).

What you've said may have been true several years ago, but it isn't anymore.


Long time BackBlaze user & fan here. Currently backing up three computers. Love your service.

However, for my main dev computer, I would totally pay another $5USD to replicate it to another location. I don't think that needs to complicate the pricing that much. You're essentially just paying for another backup, except it's the same computer in a different location.

Another question, any plans for coming to Linux?


Hey there! Thanks for using us :D Icefo is correct, we don't currently have plans for Linux support - but we do have Backblaze B2. While not unlimited, it gives a lot more flexibility, and may end up being less expensive, depending on how much data you're storing -> backblaze.com/b2


As far as I know they haven't released an official client for Linux but started a new service: B2 cloud storage. There is an API and lots of third party clients. The only downside is that there is no 5$ unlimited plan


You don't have to move outlets, just combine them.


If I want outlets where my computers will be, I would have to move outlets.


I don't think you understand what the author saying. The author is saying that the new keyboards are terrible, and when he realised why he thinks they're terrible he went out and bought a mech keyboard.

He's sad that Apple are choosing this new keyboard technology for the MBP range, and from what I gather, he won't be purchasing a new Macbook Pro.
