I've worked at a company that did link mangling on everything except simulated phishing emails. The effect was that people were trained to trust the mangled links.

To be fair the other replies had a 9 year head start

Both of those words are one letter removed from English words for a thing that is sour and a thing that is sweet, which feels like it's going to significantly bias the results on its own.


This comment nerd-sniped me and I still have not figured out what the english words in question might be.


Probably kiwi for the sour thing, though it's plenty sweet too. Not sure what the other word is. Maybe bouba as in the sweetened chunky tea?


Kiwi and Boba (tea)


My best guess (rot13, to avoid spoilers) is xvjv & obbol?


The second one had also crossed my mind just as a funny though, but I looked it up and apparently it is sweet. Though I was thinking oboof.

That's not really what the article is about: "Patients whose primary visual cortex was destroyed can still imagine, so the old idea of imagination as reversed seeing fails."


I agree with you in principle, but "nobody cares" clearly isn't true given the steam review history.


Yeah, imagine the reviews if it would've been what was promised from the get go.


It has a Steam Review Score of 84%. What are you talking about?


Yeah and Star Citizen has half a billion funding, and then WHAT?

Also what was it when the game released? It was waaay negative.


>Also what was it when the game released? It was waaay negative.

yeah, it was. and now it isn't.

this is known as a "turnaround".


Yeah, but who cares. Most of the people buy a game when it gets released.


Not necessarily. Both NMS and Minecraft are still selling quite well a decade or more after release. Not to mention things like WoW (22 years and still millions of daily players).


Yeah, these are essentially online/mmo games. Of course they have a changing audience. I'm talking about games which say oooh we gonna have 1000 planets, all unique. And on release day you they will have 3 unique planets, and 7 more which all feel the same and the features promised nowhere to be found.... but they put it in 2 years later. All this from premiere development studios with 20+ year background and 100+ mln funding.


One billion by May...


I think that's a safe assumption


Then you're a hopeless cynic.


I believe there are video games that take the same approach with cheaters.


Pet peeve: I really wish they would stop using fisheye lenses for things like this. The horizon does not look anywhere near that curved at that altitude.


I provided myself motivation by mounting a monitor to my stationary bike so I can play video games on it. I get a minimum of 210 minutes of cardio a week from it.


Please put on ShowHN!


It could be just Zwift, not a new program.


There are a multitude of methods of obtaining money that do not benefit society.
