    Divinity

    Well I'm certainly hoping it's turn based. Having both Owlcat and Larian turn to inferior games for my tastes would be a bit of a bitter pill. Both companies were day 1 buys and the only companies I have bought into EA for (on multiple games from each). I've already lost all excitement for...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Vivaldi with UBlock Origins and NoScript is working roughly the same for me (a bit longer load time, when it happens). One video every so often is slow to load, maybe 20 seconds at most, then the videos played directly after that usually have no delay. You could always try the Bing trick of...

    The northern states have a different highway system from what I have seen. Where yall have cloverleafs (and the like) to get directly on and off of highways, the south has frontage roads with on and off ramps back and forth. Texas still has cloverleafs, they just get on and off of the frontage...

    Wat? I don't remember Super Mario 2 forcing you to play any of the girls and if you didn't pick Wario in Mario Kart you're a fag anyway (with Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, there is no reason to play Peach). Man-ginas in EQ, then WoW, always seemed shady because there were enough of a certain type...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    I'm currently trying to get/make Huskar stuff, but the mobs are a bit too high...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    It looks like all the races and classes that were available last time I played are available this time. Halflings were the newest additions for that test. As an aside, there is no end time on this flash test, but it sounds like it was a last minute deal to play around with new server hardware...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    So the loot sellers invite them into the group to get kill credit. Need to be on the hate list while over the level cap? Then run in, get death touched with a 96% rez as part of the sale. Sweatlords will find a way to sell it if it's popular enough.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Easy to digest overview of three of the largest issues/problems currently being discussed in Astrophysics:

    Pluribus

    Just to clarify on how insane you actually are, for my own curiosity. You know I was not the one you were "arguing" with (spewing diatribes at) these last few pages? I only made one post about the whole food thing in this thread. Your diatribes are so off-putting that I read the first few lines...

    ...or I just don't answer your snarky ass shit, like usual. See, the post I replied to was halfway normal, so I decided to take a chance, my bad... yet again. I didn't speak to anything on your further rant about my personal ideologies, only in how the writers could write around it.

    While the over the top food debate is beyond tiresome, it should be easy for them to sidestep the whole "we cant harvest the corn and soybeans because it murders millions of mice" thing by further defining their "safety" parameters. The "we value all life" can simply be a shorthand said to the...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    That sums it up perfectly. The last season of Mando (a steady decline from S1) and this show killed any hope I had for Favreau and Filoni "saving" the franchise, or at least stabilizing it on life support. Andor was great, but that show is a unicorn that I don't see ever happening again. In...

    Supposedly there is no known limit to intelligence. A brain is a neural network that makes intelligence. Two brains linked would be a larger neural network. Every brain on the planet would/should make a super-intelligent network the likes we should not be able to even imagine (which is a huge...

    Respawns are respawns. Didn't you need to rest at a campfire to save the game? So hopping from one campfire to another to save progress and heal, then doubling back to see what you missed would get you respawns. It was a long time ago and it wasn't an experience I burned into memory (outside of...

    Pluribus

    I didn't see anything that led me to believe the ET Virus had to be activated. In the first episode everyone starts acting under the virus's control as soon as they are infected and then they show the aircraft seemingly doing global aerosol dispersion. In the subsequent episodes, the only...
