    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Look faggots. We know Blizzard is full of actual faggots. Even if Ion is a corporate parasite who knows how to play the game he is also still an OG. He is as OG as it gets. If they want to milk money off of the Classic crowd queer faggotry is how you don't get that money. Annoucning a Classic...

    What did you just read?

    This is really a fascinating book. Many of the topics in it I have read in abbreviated forms in other books and alluded to in essays or articles. But this really spells it out what WW2 was for the British. Just one of the things I didn't understand fully was how the USA royally fucked the...

    I have no real interest in this other than for my kids. No problem buying a Switch 2 in a year or two when they can play it better.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    In the most pessimistic way of looking at this you can at least expect this to be more than what Season of Discovery offered. If it is indeed a completely half-assed cashgrab and you doomers are right welp, you're right and we still have shit in terms of MMOs to play.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Make no mistake. This game absolutely will have the blizzard mtx shop for mounts, pets, and whatever other retardation. There is no way around that and you should expect it. Turtle and Ascension both had these and it did not take away from the experience IMO. I actually don't even mind the...

    Let's have a little hope here. If it's a dumpster fire of bullshit I'll eat crow and go back to not playing WoW again ever. But Bliz has seen that it can work. What they do with it is up to them.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    We can definitely be disappointed but there is an appreciation for "cozy" gameplay lately. With housing being one addition towards this design. Any move away from End Game is the Only Game is a good step in the right direction for Blizzard at this point.

    If you TL;DW he interprets this as a reset to capture the broader audience. Viewing the core of retail wow as a problem of annoying complexity even though parts of it are awesome. He says he realized this when his teenage son tried retail and within a few hours of just the tutorial was totally...

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    What Ascension did have was totally ball crushing difficulty scaling. Almost like path of Exile. Like they had raids that were not completed for months and with encounters of their own design.

    Claude charges you the most by far. The norm is going to be using 3-5 AI tools at the same time with multiple agents on them each. That is just going to be the game we have to play.

    Brother I can't even get a Math PHD from Purdue to use git. But I have to hear him complain about rebuilding things as they design things in raw files and have to rebuild them constantly. Which would be solved with git. WSL2 is gay anyway, just us a Mac and be done with it lol.

    It remains interesting in backend engineering. AI is forcing organizations to build clean backend. Something that backend engineers like myself or architects have demanded for decades but were completely ignored. Developing the backend has now become a task in being a ranch hand for a herd of AI...

    Rockstar poached top PixelM developers solely so they could create the in game phone OS. It has an app store and all kinds of retard shit. This is where the MTX will live. They just add an inception app into the app store on the in game phone. You can doomscroll the in game TikTok/Facebook that...

    IDK about good. His stuff provides like quoting suggestions and predictions for our customers. It does generate some revenue and supposedly created $10M additional revenue in the past year.

    The extended trailer tells you a lot here. Jason and Lucia go to the crackhouse and get drugs. One of the dealer's associates betrays them to the "corrupt" DEA. The DEA comes in and the dealers start blasting. DEA and police kill most of them but as you make your escape one of the dealers runs...

    All the lols aside I don't know how these main characters are going to work. In these games the MC has to be, by strict definition, an unabashed career criminal. In every game you are playing Scarface on his way to the top, more or less. The game itself will be great and the missions will be...

    If you have been in the game long enough as we have it isn't complicated. Ask a candidate about various things you think they should know. Their ability to talk about it in depth will be very apparent. Ask about the projects they have worked on and what the most challenging thing he did in the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    All of my speculation hinges on the box price aspect I guess. They will absolutely take stuff from SoD. So here is what I would expect from a $40-$70 dollar box price that has to be a step up from SoD, which had no entry free outside the monthly one. No level cap gatekeeping like SoD did. You...

    At the same time Turtle WoW succeeded without nerfing warrior into the ground. They did raise other classes up and did elegantly rework a lot of talents. That server did not suffer as much from metagaming and warrior stacking. Possibly as a side effect of them aggressively removing bots, RTM...

    I think it would genuinely be for the best of they trim down WoW 14+ into a never-ending parade of raid encounters and mythic+ stuff. There was an indie game that came out recently that was essentially Mythic Plus Keys if they were a standalone game. It was quite successful.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you base it on what they were playtesting in China it might become more clear. As retail has long focused on the endgame the leveling and non-raid progression has become vestigial. So what if you just cut all of that out and let the endgame progression be the game? Seems that got a strong...

    All I mean is that with so many games to play out there I'd love for a reason to return to some chill WoW play. But if they want me to pay a box price I expect something a little more substantial than what we have seen from private servers and Season of Discovery.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Okay I watched a few of those speculation videos now. So fundamentally, for me, if the game is demanding a box price for "Classic+" it has to be more than a more polished version of Season of Discovery. Those WoW nerds are absolutely right that there is a demand for the progression gameplay...
