"It's stupid to think your brain needs an external stimulus to be creative. You can be creative and withstand by just willing it - it's just not the easiest way out. When you take drugs you're either lying to yourself and pretending there is no harm in fucking up your brain - losing sense of priorities, time, yourself, and the world around you - or afraid of how it would feel without them."
Can't agree more. It's pathetic when people try to use drugs to succeed, steroids is no different. I don't even drink coffee and I've never needed drugs for anything.. It's just an excuse used to cope with incopetance.
Personally, If I was the job manager, anyone who uses drugs would be kicked out. I've met far too many people who use narcotics who are much too incompetant to excel.
That's not the point. He is warning not to build an application on this vulnerability as it will be patched soon, rendering the application useless and your time wasted.
I don't think so. Games written before 1999 were MUCH higher quality than anything today, even the art was better. I guess since they were written in assembly, they were forced to produce higher quality products or else they would have wasted their time whereas now everything is done in very high level languages and any idiot can make a half ass game and make a few bucks.
About difficulty... take for instance Crysis where it has nothing but graphics and it's almost impossible to die. Any Wii game that has nothing but a new controller. Pretty much every FPS is EXACTLY the same, and have no challenges. And World of Warcraft... way to waste your life. I have to admit some RTS games are very nice, like Red Alert 2 (does that count as modern?). Halo 3 is easy btw... and being hard doesn't necessarily make a game better anyways. Halo games were decent too imo, but older games are still much better.
