Shockingly, I never had a C64. ZX Spectrum, Acorn BBC, Amiga, but never C64. This is very sinful indeed, especially given SID music icon Ben Daglish was personal friend. :(

If you haven heard the news, he died recently. Gutted, absolutely gutted. :( Hadn been in contact for years but thought he beaten Cancer. He not long marked his 50th,1st wedding anniversary, and 18th and 21st birthdays of his kids. Inspiring, warm, energetic, intelligent, down to earth, encouraging, multitalented man. Bugger. Just bugger. :(

Hmm. I like playing solo I don find it a problem to be solved, more a play style that the game accommodates. I actually prefer more solo quests than fewer, and I agree that having a boss appear that can be mobbed in seconds is a problem for that play style.

Canada Goose Parka I a relatively new player, just a couple of months, and I also an extremely busy person in real life and can rarely plan or schedule when I can play, and often even then not for very long. I like just picking up the random quests and riding around the place doing them. It not a problem, it a style to accommodate. Canada Goose Parka

To the ancient gamer, aka me who started playing arcade machines late 70s, it just feels like a circle. Mobile gamers are often very canada goose outlet store uk similar to the early arcades not graphics obviously, but simplicity and catchiness. And the wallet drain pay to win.

Try firing up a late arcade machine, say the 90s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which cost a shocking 1 a credit, and have a crack at completing it without pay to win. And in a sense that’s fine that’s how the games were meant to be played, quickly and then move on. If you were a kid you might go to the arcade and swap between different machines. If you were an adult you’d be in the pub with your friends and have a quick game between beers. That kind of thing.

Mobile is just the same. It’s a reincarnation of the 70s/80s/barely hanging on in the 90s arcade games. canada goose outlet 1 point submitted 17 days ago

Canada Goose Online This might sound counterintuitive but. the weekly feedback threads are good. I had just as many «nice!» as I had «hmm the bass could be better and if I were you I look at that eq». Canada Goose Online

You also start listening constructively to other people music, and you both learn from that yourself and also help others learn (if you doing it right and actually do the constructive feedback thing as opposed to just putting your own stuff up and hoping it promotion).

In your https://www.yokosukabase.com mind is that all Steve Jobs did as head of Apple? I remember when he came back to Apple and then the iMac was released. The world was beige and square and something truly different was now around. Was Apple going to do that all by themselves already and Steve had no control? No, he focused the direction of the company products AND was good at marketing.

Canada Goose Outlet I do not think Steve Jobs was a nice person, or someone I would even want to emulate in business, but he had a huge impact on the way devices were shaped at Apple. The iMac, iPod, iPhone and canada goose outlet authentic others were making the whole computer industry better and not just because marketing. Canada Goose Outlet

Now that we have had years of Apple being a huge company run by marketers we can see what a marketing driven company really looks like.

As Matt Farah points out, listening to people can only get you so far. He was an early buyer of the new Minis that BMW relaunched in 2001. As an automotive journalist he had the opportunity to listen speak with some people at BMW/Mini about why the cars have gotten so big. He said a large number of people who bought those cars, when surveyed about what they canada goose outlet new york city would like in their NEXT Mini an overwhelming number of people said «more space»

Instead of just being like «uh, you bought a Mini, moron» they instead inflated the size of the base car and came out with larger, but similarly styled models. The brand is a hit (for a niche brand) with many fiercely canada goose outlet nyc loyal customers. But things like that drive «purists» up a wall. Its a mini, its supposed to be small and nimble.

I had one of the first of the relaunched Minis to be in the UK. I wanted more space too. However the example given conflates space and car.
