I actually kind of liked that eliminator cars spawned in fixed locations. Forced people to congregate. I wonder if it will still favor landmarks/buildings or if it is truly random? I think I finally figured out a bug that was bothering me. On seasonal championship series I was often not...

Maybe it's because I'm getting older myself, but I've been curious for a while now what the ranch hands do when they get old. Do they just sit around the ranch telling stories like those old guys at 6666? Other than Lloyd we don't really see any at Yellowstone. I assume there's enough work...

On PC, at least, all the saves including expedition unlocks are saved locally. There are save editors that essentially turn normal games into sandbox and allow you to unlock any expedition or twitch reward. The journey is definitely the highlight of NMS though, especially in expeditions. Save...

I think a lot of people in eliminator just looking for the top 30 challenge play hide and seek. If you don't move for a second or two your minimap arrow goes grey which means you won't show up on other's minimaps. While I don't doubt that many people are "invisible" due to their sloppy...

I'm not sure the total list of playground events, but what I've seen so far: Individual king - reverse tag with two crowns, most time with crown wins Team king - two teams, 4 crowns. Hold the crown too long and you slow down but can pass to teammate Individual infection - basic tag/sharks &...

Arcade racer without too much min/max. From a racing perspective only the actual car frames are locked behind winning/buying/achievement. Autists have already figured out the min/max tunes for every car and for every class, and all of that is free minus a paltry amount of in game money. The...

Depends on who quits obviously, but I've found if the losers quit it makes race 2 & 3 easier. The scoring is still the same so if you end up with 3 vs 6 it's pretty easy to limit the ai to 100-300 points since they won't be racking up the 100s from the back of the pack. You'll still get 650...

I don't know how you could see the cost without actually doing the tuning yourself, but auctions often have tunes on them so it is possible a "double" AH price is actually cheaper than buying and upgrading from the show. If it is really "stock" then the only benefit from AH would be the daily...

Goliath may be nerfed but the new afk seems to be laps up and down the freeway for clean speed skill points. 10-15 points per 4 minute lap. Convert the skill points to xp, fp, or whatever using your favorite cheapish car. Several options out there for super spins at 11-14 points too.

That's why I was curious. I got my Sesto and both M-B CLK and Pagani that I used before the Sesto all off normal spins.

I haven't really paid attention to what's on the spin wheels but I was under the impression the super wheel was essentially just 3 regular wheels. Is the super wheel loot pool that much better that it costs 60fp more than just buying 3x regular spins? I'll probably never spend fp on that...

Monster trucks are in game and you drive one for a little during one of the stories. Seems like a good candidate for permanent addition at some point since most of the work is already done.

Apparently my wife's new favorite line: "I love you, I'll see you at the house, but fuck you."

I'm sure with time people will design better custom courses and events. The flip side is getting the Super 7 reward car was pretty easy since I got like 4 drags and 2 jumps that were just hold down the accelerator for 15 seconds and win.

Spins get better over time as you get most of the clothing and emotes out of the way since you can't duplicate those. Pretty good logic behind straight up buying all the clothing that's less than ~25k since any credit spin will be more than that anyway. On a different topic, I finally unlocked...

I'm sure it would never happen outside clown world but what happens if a juror who gets a gun pointed at them takes cover and/or yells WTF?

The 1 foot/1 meter bug is annoying but can usually be fixed by swapping cars quick or restarting console. Much quicker to fix than finishing a 3 race series and getting the no reward bug.

While the goliath may be the longest distance race, I think the Gauntlet (dirt racing finale) is the longest time race. 25ish minutes point to point. Plan ahead before you start that one.

I couldn't ever get better than 5th (using Fung) on the first race. Similar issue many here have posted about, by the time I made the first couple passes the lead cars had rocket boosted ahead that I could never close the gap. Decided to just do the next two races to take a break. Got 2nd on...

I really don't have the patience to babysit the barrel roll glitch but I think I can earn almost as much skill just drifting in the hoonicorn. Stupidly easy to drift up and down a runway and tons of mastery synergy. 8x bonus means you only need 62k which is quick.

I guess it depends on what you consider progression in this game. For the most part, nothing you get with mastery points really changes the game for you besides the ability to get more points faster. Getting 20% more skill points, higher multiplier, or the other mastery bonuses doesn't help...

the irony is in 99% of the cases it is the prosecutor arguing that kicking someone is murder. It's just these weird social justice cases where the prosecution is forced to downplay the actual criminals to attack the self defense response.

I think the earth got nuked beyond all repair during the jihad between humans and AI.

For sure. I'm guessing when Frank started writing Dune he didn't envision modern multi-cultural cross breeding the way it is today. Even 100 years from now it might be hard for a large portion of the western world to really trace any dominant lineage. The other part of it is 20k+ years from...

Probably. I did the 6 Frank books in the 80s after the movie and have read wiki's and other spoilers over the years when a rerun would come on. Hard to remember what came from where now.

It's been a long time since I read the books but the basic gist is: Atreides are descended from the Greek and in theory trace their line back to Agamemnon. Harkonnen are believed to be Finnish/Northern European based on names and whatnot. Fremen and House Corrino (the emperor) are both vaguely...

Find a new settlement via map, claim, and you'll automatically swap to the new one. Not sure if they patched it yet but it was buggy if you swapped settlements with any construction or settler excursion active when swapping. You won't always get a settlement on the planet you activate the map...

Finished expedition 3. Kind of boring being all on one planet and, other than taming one creature, not focusing on newer content. Rewards are meh too but I guess giving everyone an exotic ship is probably the real reward for lazy players. I don't think it's entirely fair to compare NMS to...

The lighting for sure could use improvements. This last expedition I set up an activated indium base on a lost blue planet and no matter what I did for lighting I couldn't get any shades of blue to show up, even in an entirely enclosed space. Cool effect when you're outside, not so much when...

Awesome that they're still adding major features and continually improving the game, but does this mean expeditions are shelved for a while at least? I enjoyed the first two. I have more fun in sandboxes when there's at least some form of quests/achievements. Edit: must have missed the...

I thought it was implied that Ep2 resulted in destruction, or at least whatever total domination Ego was hoping for.

I think of it as Loki is more prone to variation due to his trickster nature. There are obviously other variants but a higher percentage of Loki's vary and are more apt to survive in the Void.

Wasn't one of the purposes of the early prepositioning to extract fuel from the atmosphere or something like that?

Yea, my first thought, since she was taken as a child while playing with toys, was that she was developing too much compassion and the timeline needed a more evil/trickster Loki. Of course that reinforces the "evil" of TVA by not allowing her to be her best self.

I'm sure someone's tried to analyze it, but I'm not sure you can directly compare streaming profit to theaters. They may get close to 100% but I'd wager there are more than 2 viewings per subscription which for the consumer is the break even point. Family of 4-5 would be same profit disney+ vs...

Despite the title, I'm pretty sure, coming as it does after we know scarjo dies, that this was always intended to be a Yelena origin story. Not even despite the title since all the chicks are technically "black widows."

Well the plot is almost identical to any of the Bournes and the scene where she reunites with Yelena could have been any of the Bourne apartment ambush fights. They just took it up to 11 with the amount of damage dished out and all there is to show for it is a couple bruises and a small cut on...

Ok, one other thing put me off too. If they spent 3 years living undetected as Americans why do they have the shitty trope Russian accent later on. I've spent the last 15 months watching everything with subtitles on that I forgot how to listen to conversations in theaters and the accents...

I was entertained. Not sure where I'd put it yet but it's definitely higher than bottom tier for me. The only thing that really put me off was the amount of damage BW takes in the various fights. I was expecting/hoping that this would be the Marvel Jason Bourne and you can tell it wanted to...

That was difficult to watch
