    Quarm Server

    I remember it taking 5ish 6ish days right after launch. I did mine in the dead side of the crypt. <3 that zone.

    Did you switch to collada or something else? I use collada in my sharpDX libs (which I haven't touched in a year)

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I only know what I see in our actual fields. I don't read up on this stuff on the internet. Since I've been back in the area we've had 2 incidents of 24d drift onto our fields. One got a slight burn and was no big deal, the other wiped it out. The drift is one of those "it is known" things...

    Necropolis (Harebrained Studios) coming March 17

    I watched some streams of it and it looked hilarious. I'm not a fan of action combat, so I'd have preferred a more D&Dish approach but I like the look and strange items and friendly fire etc

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yea no danger from roundup on cotton. I think it is mainly direct contact or runoff into groundwater. All water in this region comes from wells. Our town is surrounded by cotton fields, so if there's a bit of wind, some of it is going to drift into the town. As far as food contamination...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I live in a farming community so I know a bit about GMOs as everyone around here uses roundup ready cotton. Roundup is cheap, and there are even cheaper generic alternatives. They come in distinct white plastic containers with metal grid reinforcement around them and you see them all over...

    Sometimes they are cancelling an animation, sometimes it seems like they have spray on the same keybind? I dunno

    Overwatch

    It is sort of like playing slots. The short term peaks & lows are the volatility, but after x million spins you are guaranteed to win y% (whatever the pay table is set to). I saw a post where they think they fixed the leaver stuff, so I guess that's why it hasn't really been fixed.

    BTW, I had cancelled my Maya because I wasn't using it and ye olde bank account was getting low. I needed to do some spline stuff so I tried out Modo for 15 bucks. Pretty cool interface, and it had built in hair spline stuff, which is what I'm working with in my job right now. The bad part...

    Watchin Reunited vs Creation, I never watched any tournaments back when mcree was common, but Art1er is awesome. One of the brits keeps losing power, and had to get on 3G. I thought only us middle america people had such problems.

    I kinda enjoyed the super strange matches during this stacking allowed period, but the stalling tactics by tracer & dva were a bit annoying so probably good that stacking is gone in the tourneys.

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    I think it was an unreal limitation, but I had never used it. I remember at the time complaining that they were recompiling shaders all the time and wondering why in the world you'd ever do that. Now that I've used Unreal I see why it was happening all the time.

    Played a few games this morning and got some huge rank gains: I usually get half or a third, with the occasional 2/3rds and lots of 1/20ths for winning vs leavers.

    The northern gaming red vs gale force is a good watch. Very evenly matched. The strange thing about watching these matches is I see all sorts of map detail I had never noticed before. There's a big ass statue in one of the Ilios stages, the big pyramid in Dorado etc

    I got a mental image of an overwatch camp out, with the heros in sleeping bags and tents shooting across a campfire at each other Autocorrect I guess?

    One other thing we noticed, I usually gained more and lost less than my friends. I think likely because they are generally better players, so probably have a higher personal rating coming over from quick play? I dunno. Watched the gosugamer tourney final. They weren't running hero limits...

    I'm at 66 wins 82 losses \o/ Bounced between 41 and 47 all weekend. Really fun fights for the most part except for the bastion/torb/rein cheese. For me, I sort of slowly creeped upward when just playing alone. When I grouped up with friends it seemed like our win/loss was about even, but...

    So we were on hollywood defending, held the enemy right at the end. Switched sides, and someone on our team quits. So we are short one, and go on to win. You'd guess we'd get amazing gains, beating a team with only 5 right? Well I won't bother to post the picture because it looks exactly...

    Hard fought Gibraltar, we push to the end barely, 4-0, lots of bastion and turret cheese to overcome. Enemies leave. 2 enemies stick around and just shoot out the windows delaying the inevitable. I understand they don't want to penalize the team for one jackass leaving, but we should at...

    I was just watching the tournament on GosuGamers. The healer on the defense crashed and rejoined. That made me realize, this game has never crashed for me in the 160ish hours the stats screen shows. It is an easy scenario when you can load all your resources up front, but still, that's solid.

    I was just reading on reddit about a genji / hanzo sploit that lags out the server. Might explain the super strange stuff I saw when I was playing phara with friends.

    I'm at 20 wins, 30 losses. Lost steadily throughout the day down to 44 while the king of the hill maps were buggered. Then I gained back up to 47, then played with friends and dropped down to 45 again. My ping doubles with friends, so I see a lot of strange stuff. Like being up in the air...

    Mine have all been even groupwise today. Usually like a group of 2 on each side and a group of 3 on each side, with me and someone else being solo. I seem to win all the king of the hills and lose all the payloads. btw what are these little nubbinses out next to the rankings? The ones I...

    I think there are two comparisons here. People's initial ranking, and people discussing how your rank will become over millions of games and geological time. I tend to agree with both.

    Formula 1 and MotoGP - Racing

    Kalex makes most of the chassis, Suter and Tech3 make a few, but I think like 90% of the bikes are Kalex. It is interesting to see some riders struggle when they go up a notch. Alex Marquez from 3 to 2, or Rabat going up to GP. He was great on a moto2 bike.

    Clunky comes from using placeholder assets. Right now it is the right thing to do. Abilities and all the timing will change, so there's little point in anything fancy till that's all final. Doing that stuff too early leads to animation driven timing (because changing a number is cheaper...

    Also it would seem it would depend heavily on what maps you got when doing your initial 10 games. If the games you lost were king of the hill, and the winning games were payload, you'd rank considerably higher than the opposite it seems.

    I wonder if you could cheese the system by leaving king of the hill maps during the assembly phase and just playing on payload maps?
