Like anyone else, game companies can be cheated, and I witnessed this several times. In 1993, we at id Software played Doom together over our internal network. Now, you have to realize that at the time, we thought few people would want to play by modem or over the nascent internet. But we wanted that functionality, because it was super fun and we liked it.

Now, John Carmack didn't want to program the internet code. We hired a guy who lived in (IIRC) California to do the code remotely. The deal, as it was explained to me, was that he was finishing a project for his current company, and doing our code in his spare time, with his boss's knowledge. When his project was finished, he'd join us in Texas.

Well, when we were ready for our internet code, we called his company in California and got the guy's boss. He laughed hard at us. He told us, "This guy is a good programmer, but he is a compulsive liar. He knows he can never hold a job anywhere else, and I get he hasn't done a lick of work on your connectivity stuff. He just took your money." Well ... the boss was right. We'd been swindled.

Worse, we didn't have that code. So John Carmack spent 2 weeks quickly hammering together something that mostly worked, and then we released Doom. There was some kind of issue with the way we did it, that if Doom was being played with a lot of people on the same net, even if they weren't playing each other, it multiplied the information packets hugely and crashed the system. Within a month Doom was banned on basically every college campus in the country.

So we hired someone to give us new, robust, code and in a month or two Doom was all it could be. Of course John Carmack's not to blame - his strength was in 3-D, not connectivity. Plus he had only 2 weeks to throw it together. That dude in California was the villain and he can rot.

I help people get their sleep on track as part of my job and if you're not doing these for your sleep, your should:

- Take 1mg or less ONLY of melatonin. Less is more with melatonin and you're not doing yourself favors with 5 or 10mg pills, which manufacturers make because people buy them thinking they're better. Not the case.
- Sleep in 100% darkness. Light of any level interferes with your sleep. Get a sleep mask if you can't get your room dark.
- Get better sheets. You should NOT be sleeping on polyester / microfiber - they trap heat and don't breathe either, promoting skin issues. Your temperature changes through the night, so a temp-regulating fabric like a linen/cotton blend is great for all seasons; or if you sleep too hot, try bamboo/viscose, which disappates heat.
- Get enough sleep. If you're younger (adolescent to young adult) you may need 9 or even 10. Uterus owners, new research is out indicating we need a bit more sleep, including right around menstruation - 8.5 or 9 hours might be more appropriate even if you're an adult.
- Try to get the same amount of sleep every day. A new study is out showing that it's likely healthier to get consistent sleep (ie 6h every night) over inconsistent but more sleep (ie 8, then 4, then 10).
- Try magnesium balm. Mag is good for sleep quality and skin balm less hard on your stomach than a tablet.
- GET YOUR PHONE OUT OF YOUR BED. I stg some of you are complaining about insomnia but still scrolling in bed - BLUE LIGHT SUPPRESSES MELATONIN. Your brain literally thinks it's daytime when you look at your phone's light so it's no wonder you're not sleeping. No phone or screens an hour before bed. Get a book, talk on the phone, or shower instead.
- Similarly, get out of bed if you're not falling asleep. Lying there for hours teaches your brain to associate the bed with not sleeping, so get up and sit in dim light on the sofa - no, get off your phone - and read something boring until you feel more sleepy.
- If you have ANY signs of sleep apnea or are overweight, I recommend asking about a sleep study - you can often get a small take-home device to do one. I was chronically tired, achy, etc but did not snore, so I was shocked when I found out it was mild apnea. Sleep onset insomnia can be a sign!

I honestly didn't know much about how Hep B affects the Asian American community, and how sudden it strikes and affects families and loved ones.

Hopefully their outreach work helps educate the community here and everywhere!

@krlehr @CoveredGeekly Honestly would love to see this, or even an on screen Red Hood reprising of his role if DC wants to stay on their gritty edgy vibe.

@coldsummer77 @Truth31The Omg I feel that part about RDJ and Tony Stark, but like they HAVE to understand he was perfect for the role of playing a wash-out druggie narcissist for obvi reasons, so now all we need is a traumatized loner savior complex vigilante for bats and omg is it Keanu?

@RestoretheC Idk what you did but it looks and feels so much better, its less washed out for sure, but you made the combat feel sharper, I didn't notice the sticking points/choreo timing marks for the saber timing at first, whereas it stands out in the original despite their good perfs
