The best definition of life so far is "any system that extracts energy from its environment to repair itself, duplicate itself and transform its environment into itself". (repair, reproduce and metabolize) Note that, under this definition, a virus is definitively not alive. They lack the repair...

Eternity is very long. Specially toward the end...

I'm waiting for the triple view of 3 separate boosters landing. This summer. (plus, the whatever they're launching. Will be disappointed if it's not a Tesla headed to the moon)

I was the one who pulled the entire line in a single place, then Allakhazam asked if they could use it (/pointed to "public domain" mention; we didn't had CC licensing) Original is still at Gates of Discord : Breakdown in Communications (moved there from original frmug.org one which is no...

WTF?

That's chiefly how I ended up Dwarf Cleric back then. That, and then being praised as the mainlooter for the group; I always ended up divying perfectly gems and spell components and other valuables. Got more than a few tells about how I was perfectly /splitting and handing gems.

Now, what was I saying...? Ah, yes. Expecting the patch on June 13th now.

Slightly misleading: it won 1 match out of 3. Who knows, maybe the other 2 will turn out different. (even if the chinese champion tried to copy the AI... never works well that kind of stuff)

The quest isn't tracking the kills themselves, it's tracking the fact that you loot the AP item on the elites. Which is the same AP item you get if your bodyguard has a legendary that gives you gold+AP item or resource+AP item per WQ. So if you got lucky when the command center gave you...

Or (if you got lucky with the legendary bodyguard upgrade) 3 WQ, apparently. * EDIT * Looks like it was hotfixed, my follower with the "correct" legendary doesn't let me validate the "kills" per the wowhead comments. * EDIT2 * Nvm, it's inconsistent. I killed 1 elite, did 2 WQ, and my quest is...

Sooo... 8.0 in september 2018?

Found out that apparently, I'm the only one in guild that has rank 3 Suramar feast. That's not annoying, though. What's annoying is that my herbalism has exactly one rank 3 (Felwort).

It wouldn't surprise me much. Without going too much into details, the main change between book 2 plot and S2 plot is that it's not Holden who exposes Mao-Kwikowski's involvment with Protogen and Protomolecule™, it's now Avasarala. Basically, the first half of book 3 can't make sense if you...

The big problem is that the seasons are shifted from the books. S1 was basically 60% of book 1. S2 is 40% book 1 + 50% of book 2. Take the last episode: the Arboghast disassembly is page 250 of 595. The Caliban being chucked out of the Rocinante is page 300. The taking over Mao's yatch is page...

In my series of non-fiction reading, going to serious with SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome. Because you cannot know too much about Rome.

Patented in 2004, published in 2006... ... and somehow, SpaceX is still using rockets. Im disapoint.

AI will simply outcompete us and replace us at about everything. They won't wage war against men no more than your boss is waging war against you when they fire you because your post is redundant. The crucial point will be when the Republican AI will ask why they should expend resources for...

I ditched my car the year its insurance did cost me more than the fuel for it. As a Parisian, working in Paris, trying to keep a car around is more hassle than it's worth (notably because at work, we have a strict contingent on park places, and people have to coordinate so that they do have a...

Yep. If you're an old-time dwarf (that is, a dwarf with racial detect chest turned on before the option went away), you see them all the time.

Would be fun if you got "My bad, I finally needed those 2499. Do you still have them, by chance?"

Oops. Forgot to farm my demons. Got like 30 because of some WQ, but I need to finish those... (the bats you cannon shoot for 12 in a nightfallen WQ count)

Quality fix. My warriors now jump and appear straight at the landing zone. No more animation of dropping from the sky like Hulk.

Ahhh, SecureTeam 10. Found them out by accident some time ago...

I was still playing casually when the expansion came around. I purchased, patched, and after a week, I've been logging in only every 2 months when a chapter comes around to unlock it "just in case".

You have 3 champions with ilvl 900? Basically, you cut every 870-880 mission from the list and leave only the 885+ ones. Except for the raid, dungeon, command center, and blood of sargeras missions, you only get missions that are between +15 and -15 of your top 2 champions ilvl. Most of my alt...

Yep. I was going to ask "what did you have prior? Bronze Boots?". SS Boots are an utility item, not a gear item.

Everything can, and probably should. If no items from expansion N has an upgrade in N+1, then what's the point? (save, of course, for new content to see. Before you head back to old zones) The problem is, of course, what replaces what. And it requires tiers of content. Like: Leveling - Endgame...

Can't beat The Monkey King as a bodyguard. He stuns and applies a 20% dmg debuff. Including world bosses (yes, he paralyzes a world boss for 10s. Saw that on Drugon; if I had known, I would have used it during leveling)

It's not gameplay, it's just "let's show you all those awesome assets we've made". I don't know if we're supposed to think that the deer was a bug and was still spawned in the home or something. I had clearly two plate-thing under its feet which make it look fake.

From Kickstater page's own description: (those 40+ years are spread over 12 people)

Yep. It's called lying. I wouldn't be surprised if they did an EQN on us and the NPCs we saw moving around were in fact other people animating them.

What incentive is there to do that? They don't get money from it. Contrary to what you think, they're not in there for trolling. They might be doing that as an investment if they thought there was a chance it would reverse the policy, but that's possibly a sucker bet. Are they going to throw...

With the increased visibility from the kickstarter comes some more lucid views. Ashes of Creation : nouvelle arnaque via Kickstarter ? | Geekzone.fr (in french. Quick summary follows) - First, for a funded game before kickstarter, the team is light. Pantheon-sized. Yea, they promise to go...

They have background. Not stories. The difference between a WoW-type game and an EQ-type game is that WoW insists that you live in your story. You're the one who clears the Defias Mine and kill Van Cleef. You're the General of the Alliance/Horde in charge of the forward base in Draenor. Etc...

We need more classified launches to get that kind of spectacular views. Much better than the usual "well, here's an animation of the second stage going around earth".

We still dont' have the base of a general theory of protein expression. Heck, even with a protein formula, we still don't have a general way to figure out how it folds and potentially expresses its effects (which is why you still have those folding@home distributed stuff). Not going to happen...

Not a good idea. For 20 thousand years, we progressed agriculture by making hybrids and doing heavy selection afterward. In the last 20 years, genetic engineering allowed us to make more progress in term of seeds than the 20k previous years. Making neanderthal-human hybrids when you can simply...
