  • Id say a 1/3 of the games had NESHard energy. Some reviewers even said the first game listed was probably the worst experience for someone to play and starts people off with a bad taste.

    I forced myself to play single game and absolutely found 10 games that were fascinating.

    I also wonder if I approached it from a budding game developer, and how they recreated some modern experiences in a pure NES environment.


  • Also, playing the bundle at the same time as a friend is a nice experience! You start talking about what games you’ve tried and give each other hints and stuff.

    This is an experience I wish I can have. I feel like a middle schooler again as I play each game, wanting to go to my pals and go nonstop about what I found.


















  • This is crazy. I’m pretty wired into a lot of internet, from the days of IRC to quietly lurking on 4chan/bottom feeding reddit. I’ve learned of subcultures on Tumblr and the darkness of Twitter. I am one of those guys that gives a polite nod when you send me a meme - I’ve probably already seen it.

    It’s crazy that I never heard of Dril, and reading the Wikipedia history makes me feel out of touch.

    There’s a difference here.

    Processes is HOW you do something. We have lots of processes. Like don’t deploy on Fridays. Don’t break something and disappear. Merge requests require another set of eyes. Etc.

    Its all bundled into the “Be an adult”. It’s NOT a process, it’s a state of mind - a working agreement.

    If you need that level of micromanaging where specific details needs to be codified, then this department isn’t for you.

    I trust people not to be dumb fucks. And those who are get let go. The rest of the department is pretty happy to be working with competent adults.

    When I came into my job, my role was to create a new engineering department. I was inheriting 4 engineers from other departments. The company wanted me to create a “Working agreement” for this entire department, and gave me some examples. They were full of extra micromanage-y level things. Bullshit like how long bathroom breaks are, and how you conduct yourself in a meeting.

    I wrote a working agreement just like the meme above (except instead of “Don’t be a Dick” it was “Be an Adult”).

    Got the engineers to agree, on boarded 20 more engineers, and two years later, we have the highest happiness rating/productivity in the company and the CTO wants to know my secret.
