@AwfulMcbad @Kornstalx @Nerdcognito Google made them all pointless.

@amelia_tweetz Parasitic load.

@AwfulMcbad @Kornstalx @Nerdcognito The Dig had a pixel hunt that was a hard block on progress.

[David Fenger @dkfenger64]

@Kornstalx @AwfulMcbad @Nerdcognito Grommling around for that one stupid pixel you have to click is not compelling game play any more. Frustration-gating has moved to silly little phone games where you can go do something else once you've had your fun.

@Kornstalx @Nerdcognito They're because of terrible quest design. "You'll find the seed in the woods to the northwest." Okay, great. But it's resting against a tree and tree-coloured and there's exactly one...

[David Fenger @dkfenger64]

@Nerdcognito I remember a quest in WoW before quest markers. There was an acorn on the ground you had to click on. It was almost the same colour as the ground, and you only had *very* vague guidance as to where to start looking. Forcing people to go online to find it is bad...

@MeaghieC @stuartlosaltos Thanks, I'm working off *really* old memories of high school history classes and displays in the Royal BC Museum. Did it start as investment then evolve?

[David Fenger @dkfenger64]

@stuartlosaltos I didn't think of that... Ew.

@blind_via Maybe if you're trying to refit a wearable device by replacing one of the internal boards? Space would be at one heck of a premium there.

@KonstantinKisin Think of it as an educational filter. Learning to tell the two apart is a vitally important life skill...

@LichTamara @ChrisBarber1975 No politicians were inconvenienced...

@mcahogarth I'd say the journey of a billion pages begins with a single scan... but you're *way* past that point.

@esrtweet Consider using AI as an assistant to review your existing materials, much as you would for coding - but ask different questions.

[David Fenger @dkfenger64]

@deaflibertarian Canada is in a similar situation, but has AC. Then again, we've just skipped the middleman...

@Hitchslap1 Because the money that didn't go to graft or get wasted was used in radically unproductive ways, making things worse rather than better.

[David Fenger @dkfenger64]

@ShamashAran Seen elsewhere: hit them with the full force of the IRS and the foreign income reporting rules...

[David Fenger @dkfenger64]

@AI_in_LEO Yeah, that's going to be fun trying to get past EMI testing... Planning to mount it in a Faraday cage?

[David Fenger @dkfenger64]

@UntergangGang @FromKulak Been a while, but I seem to recall that rule did not apply during a war.

@ReviewsPossum Third time is enemy action.
