Thoughts on Alcatraz Island

When I was doing lobbying professionally i always had a dream to tear down all the old buildings on Alcatraz and either return it to the local tribes or turn it into a community/cultural event site.

It pisses me off that we stole such an important piece of land from the local tribes and turned it into a prison then when we were done with the prison we turned it into a museum to human suffering, and it’s long since been a museum of a prison for longer than it was a prison.

Just curious if anyone else sees Alcatraz in that light and if you’d support or oppose such an effort. If Alcatraz weren’t a museum of a prison what would you like to see done with it?

Mouse sensitivity and game settings

I’m very new to game dev and haven’t messed around with implementing settings yet. I’m still working through the stack of demos I DL’d during Next Fest and I think 1 or 2 out of the dozens I’ve tried that are FPP/TPP had a default mouse sensitivity that seemed anywhere close to reasonable.

I play games on a pretty low sensitivity but if I have to pull my dpi below 1k to get your lowest sensitivity value to feel workable that feels like a problem. That’s obviously the extreme but I am often at the very lowest sensitivity setting at 1k dpi.

Am I missing something about sens settings that make it hard to figure out a reasonable range or do I just wildly misjudge how high people have their mouse sens cranked?

That also had me wondering about other user-exposed settings and I’m curious about any that might be surprisingly difficult to implement, any that you’re surprised more people don’t use, decision-making process around what to implement.
