When I take on new hobbies, I have to resist making an app for them.

Sure, making apps for your hobbies can be a great way to come up with something that solves a real problem, but the issue is that it takes away time spent simply doing said hobby.

I seek out hobbies to diversify my life, not to make money or do programming 24/7. Early in my career that was great, but over time I realize that there's more to life than software development.

yeah for real, let's see an xml one instead

My (limited) understanding is this:

When someone cracks a game, the end result of their work may not be accessible or easily distributable to average users. Their focus is on cracking the game, not necessarily distributing the crack.

Others like FitGirl come along, creating launchers that take care of any dependencies needed for the game, and in general making it painless to run the cracked game. In other words, they repack the cracked game in a more user-friendly packaging.

If you've seen Breaking Bad, there's a similar dynamic there. Walter may be the one making the product, but he can't distribute it alone - he needs someone to make it widely accessible, if he wants people to actually use his product.

He has earned his passage to the Undying Lands

Reminds me of Arthur C Clarke's The Light of Other Days. There's a technology in the book that allows anyone to see anything, anywhere, which eliminates all privacy. Society collectively adjusts, e.g. people masturbate on park benches because who gives a shit, people can tune in to watch me shower anyway.

Although not to the same extreme, I wonder if this could similarly desensitize people: even if it's fake, if you can effectively see anyone naked... what does that do to our collective beliefs and feelings about nakedness?

Damn I wish I knew more about Argentina to be in on this joke

I had taken a break from runescape earlier this year because it was too addicting, but have come back to simply do my daily tree/herb runs. I've found farming to be a really pleasant skill; it's gameplay loop helps me moderate my play time, so I don't spend an absurd amount of time playing.

I was surprised how much I like it. Although it can be a bit hand wavy at times, there's something entertaining about a smartass making people with bad intentions look stupid.
