  1. the number bumps when the lead maintainer says it does.

  2. even numbers should be easy upgrades; odd numbers may change things.

The Cutting Room Floor

tcrf.net/The_Cutting_Room_Floor

The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.

Первое правило пропаганды

maximilyahov.ru/blog/all/propaganda-2

Главное правило пропаганды — посыл должен быть простым. Если хочешь, чтобы твоя вера распространялась, нужно упаковать ее в короткое и броское сообщение — мем. Чем он проще и тупее, тем ему легче распространяться. Если мем в рифму — еще лучше.

Мем дожен быть безапелляционным, без деталей, однозначным и не вызывающим сомнений. В идеале — чтобы он касался каких-то человеческих грехов — например, гордыни, алчности или гнева. Это сейчас самые социально одобряемые грехи.
