That third book was when the author had IRL problems and decided he needed to wrap up the story because he knew he would never finish it.

So, Dungeon Crawler Carl, without the comedy.

Stable Diffusion at work: "Take those World of Warcraft screenshots, and do it in the style of a B-movie of the 80s": (and you know what? It looks way better than we got)

That was the Falcon 1 (only 1 engine) at the time, launching from Kwajalein where they had gotten a launchpad. The first three were failures, and the fourth (in Sep. 2008) finally managed to reach orbit and deliver its payload.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. SpaceX needed three launches before they finally mastered engineering of their rockets.

That seems to be a perennial topic on reddit. You can tell the devs know the reward/difficulty is not good for small glades because they did attempt to fix this with the camp2 upgrade, where every resource in a small glade is always harvestable (due to small camps), unlike dangerous glades...

You'd have to dial down Chalker's fetishes there, but hell yea. Use that $1B budget!

Ah. Well, since you get small camps (and those are small nodes), it only takes wood to build one, and you can recover the gears afterward if you recycle the camp. But yes, that's a bit weird. I wouldn't say annoying, but definitively on the weirder side of starts.

That's a good start. Farms/Plantations are relocatable, so you can move them to cover the entire field when you've cleared the two nodes, meanwhile you've got the other farm field (once its trees are cleared). And humans to farm and I see beavers to chop. Your early food is covered, provided you...

There is never a major patch while they're pumping out and "testing" the expansion. At best, you get a feb/march patch in 2024, and that's it.

In the 20th century, prior to antibiotics, you had 800 people per 100k dying of diseases every year, and nobody would shut the entire economy to fight epidemics.

I have no problems with making digital CCGs illegal (note that none of the CCG in existence are TCG - there is no trading whatsoever going on in those games, unlike real TCGs). I also strongly object to digital objects with real-world value. You can scamper back into NFT world for all I care...

Rule 34. If it exists, there's porn of it. And the slime is presumably... in the active position (tentacle porn is a thing, remember).

I remember one article where someone said "you need a x10 ratio - of energy produced to used - to get into the commercially viable range. Under that, it's nifty physics lab stuff."

The thing is, about every OS runs on ARM. You have Linux, you have Windows, you have (of course) OSX. And the intel emulation on ARM is competitive enough that you can run pretty much any intel-only app there.

"Laughs in Magic30" It's exactly like modern video games. They're not designing their sets for the average player, they're designing their sets to milk the whales that will splurge massive amounts to collect everything. Each variant, each set, each secret lair thing is to hook 'dem whale. So...

It is and it isn't. Hubbard had been working on Dianetics since before WW2. But he struggled to get it accepted as a new scientific discipline (unsurprisingly). It was Lester Del Rey (who published most of Hubbard's books I think) who bet him that it would gain more acceptance as a religion...

Full analysis? Aye aye sir! First, a little advertisement for the bakery: (fun bit: it's not too far from where a colleague of mine lives) about 35 km from Lyon, the second largest city of France...

A little reminder of how much Blizzard's staff has changed:

Of course. About everyone I knew who was "waiting for the 4080" simply purchased a 4090 instead when they saw the price/performance ratio. "If I'm going to overpay, I might as well get top perf for it"

Yep. Which one is number 1??? Ah, yeah, thought so.

The way I do some of them is use the Chrome WebToEpub extension. You can even pick which chapters you want to include (if you want to split a long series into books), and it generates an epub that you can send to your Kindle afterwards.

Another way is finding standard Jumpstart (not the expansion-based horrid versions of Jumpstart, the one that is based around core sets). The way it's designed is that you pick any two Jumpstart boosters, mix them, and you get a working bi-color deck with a semi-consistent pair of themes. For...

And that's the end of DSP for me, I think. The game worked wonderfully as a sandbox builder. One of those strategy games? There are dime a dozen of them. Goodbye.

It's kinda hard to end a series when that series brought you a five figure per month before even Amazon and Audible... (checked, looks like he still gets around 70k per month)

Moving Mars. Despite being the "third" in a series, it works as a stand-alone. One of my favorites. Alternatively, Eon. When you have an O'Neill colony that has an infinite length. Literally infinite. (and yes, he did some Halo novels, because if people shovel you money, you might as well. The...

One less of the great classic SciFi writers. R.I.P. Greg Bear:

Foler vs. BrutulTM Soygen vs. BoozeCube Araysar vs. Mudcrush Durtfeet Bandwagon vs. DickTrickle Rajaah vs. Lightning Lord Rule phisey vs. Bubbles Chris vs. RobXIII pysek vs. fanaskin

So the side quests are not really side quests, they're random filler.

"During your journey, which should take you around 8 hours." So apparently, the MSQ is short, not enough to level to max, and you have to fill your bar with random side stuff. Eh. "I play for the story", indeed.

Do filthy french get the right to vote? Oh, illegal vote around here, right. 1. Foler 2. Lithose 3. Soygen 4. BoozeCube 5. Mr. Sox 6. Mudcrush Durfeet 7. Bandwagon 8. Blazin 9. Hoss 10. Lightning Lord Rule 11. phisey 12. Bubbles 13. Nirgon 14. RobXIII 15. pysek 16. fanaskin

At the moment, it looks like they're trying to amp special ultra-rare collectibles (it started with the Secret Lairs, of course, then came "old Legends" "numbered special edition"). Plus the ludicrous cash grab that was the 30th anniversary edition. Thing is, all of this happened before in the...

Learning the possible production lines is critical (I'm still doing that).

We have: - Humans - Furries (beavers) - Scalies (lizards) - Avians (harpies) so I'm expecting the fifth race to be some insectoids, of course.

It's cheap and entertaining. I wonder what the 5th species will be, though.

It worked. I did pick the sub, since I knew I was going to keep playing anyway at the time, so it was a free game. I only finished D3 about three years ago, after dropping WoW. :rolleyes:

Early access now unlocked on Steam, and there's a 15% off until Nov 8th. (haven't time to play right now, maybe later today)

Some of those souls seem to have almost escaped...

The Embody was a rebranded version of one of their chairs, yes. This one is a specific and distinct design, it seems.
