    I'm listening to the chrysalis series he narrates and he also adds a tremendous amount of context through the narration. I wonder how much is narrator/producer driven vs the author interacting with the recording process. I guess audiobook sales surpass ebook/book sales for DCC, so it makes sense...

    One Piece

    Finished season 2, excellent show. I love how unapologetic they are about aligning to the manga. Smoker with two giant cigars is a great example of them embracing the source material and making it work.

    Crimson Desert

    Nice, really good changes that go after exactly the issues I have. [General] Improved the response speed of the interaction UI. [General] Improved the responsiveness of jump inputs. [General] Fixed aiming to target the center of the screen when using a Lantern or while unarmed...

    Crimson Desert

    I'm enjoying this game but know ill enjoy it a ton more once they figure out some improvements to the controls. Fortunately I'm going on vacation in a couple of days and will need to spend some time in EQ after. Like, the dumbass mouse + gamepad + foot pedals I use conquers any keyboard piano...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Not really. I'm on Bristlebane in a large guild (Ring of Valor) and can recommend both the server and the guild. But I'm not playing regularly.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Yeah it's a pretty good time to pay for a sub. btw you have until April 20th to take advantage of it. https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-27th-anniversary-2026 I'm planning on popping some krono in a couple of weeks to get some fresh heroics that I've got to get ready for when I play SoR later...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Arrays vs lists is one of the great "Bike Shed" ( Law of triviality - Wikipedia ) traps of code reviews. Best way to handle those discussions (besides just changing to whatever data structure is appropriate, which is suprisingly array more often than people think...) is to profile the difference...

    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    Yeah I get what you're saying. I don't remember specifics about it. I just remember . Related, I enjoy it when authors write how a character sounds immediately before their first words, especially when they are very inhuman and it sounds like a challenge to the narrator: "The entity opened its...

    Time to bust out the foot pedals and left hand on controller, right hand on mouse.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I could only play Starfield if they basically redid everything and with a different team. The game design at a high level, sci-fi adventure + exploration + procedural + space combat is extremely appealing to me, but the team missed nearly every mark starting with the setting. My ideal game I...

    Crimson Desert

    Damn this is the greatest game ever made and anyone who didn't pay full price is a fat jobless loser. I also heard the game is getting nerfed in the first patch and anyone who doesn't play on release doesn't get the real experience.

    Arknights Endfield

    I've been leveling up yvonne + tangtang + xaihi + perlica. I really don't like it because I don't like Yvonne. I think if I didn't start playing Crimson Desert I'd get Last Rite.
