God damn how the mighty have fallen!

I always felt Capitals, regardless of their roll, were a bad idea, poorly implemented, and badly balanced throughout the decade I played Eve.

I don't know who that is, but if she put any more oil on her tits the US government would invade her "for democracy".

Have they released a patch roadmap or something detailing what they are going to be fixing and improving or is it all unknown? I sure would love a bit more consistency in the world, such as the game remembering what is going on behind you for one thing.

Chris Chan has multiple threads on Lol Cows. Here's just one: Random Chris Updates

These "an iceberg the size of a state" news items are getting tired as fuck, but they serve the fearmongering purpose. This shit happens every god damn year as the ice grows then breaks up and melts.

This is why we no longer have "janitor" but "sanitation technicians", and "fast food workers" are now "sandwich specialists" or some crap like that.

This is true. I work for the guberment and have to deal with a lot of other guberment agencies in my work. I'm constantly amazed at how often I find people of equal or higher seniority than me who are completely shit at their job. I'm talking about people who never answer their e-mails, and it's...

Xithxr it will xnd in pxoplx gxting fxd up with this shit, or thx Xnglish languagx will simply rxplacx thx lxttxr "x" with thx lxttxr "x".

It never ceases to amaze me how some people can be so smart that they can rise to the top of a major corporation and yet also be so dumb as to let their family members advertise the shady shit they do thanks to your corporate position.

This is something that never ceases to boggle my mind. Guys like this happy to show of their faces. It's the same as people who do stupid shit and post it online. Why?? If I were a Simp I'd never show my face on camera. And if I glued my hair on I'd also never post a video of it online. Why are...

It is always a fun and creative solution to hid your alcoholism by disguising it as a "hobby"! 😂

What is supposed to be in the 1.2 patch?

Seems to be the norm with new PDX games now, they release a new game or new iteration of a game and it's a garbled mess til they finally do a 2.0.

That's what I'm afraid, and what I feel when I read a lot of this, but then on the other hand you have both big players (Musk, HedgeFunds etc) and small players (small shops, streamers, artists, freelance coders) who also use it. They can't all be giving their login info to shady apps?

Once in a while I get a desire to check out Crypto, but then I look into it further, including checking out this thread where I read about exchanges taking 30% transaction fees, wanting your bank loggin details and shit like that and I nope the fuck out. I must be missing something here? As...

Looks like a whole new game lol. Maybe more people will play it now.

Lol yeah, this looks hella complex! :o

Glad I'm not the only one who likes Linzi. Though I have a feeling I am the only one who likes Imoen.

While I do enjoy the old DND computer games (BG1+2, IWD, etc), as well as PK, storywise, I am not a fan of the mechanics. And I'm a weekly DnD player. From a purely mechanical point of view I much prefer games that are made from the ground up with computers in mind, such as the Divinity games...

The Spectre Induction scene still sends shivers down my spine.

So, is this one game now that you play through from beginning (start of M1) to end (end of M3), or is it still three games?

For a good action RPG I'd highly recommend the first game in the Divinity series: Divine Divinity. Can get it cheap on GoG that runs on modern systems. The graphics are gorgeous in the old isometric type, the music is amazing, the story and quests fun and interesting, and as with other Divinity...

Yeah, the reason I played FemShep was 100% Jennifer Hale. You felt how good her voice acting was. MaleShep was so meh.

Thanks, I've wondered about SQL for a while. Thanks for all the advice. :)

Thanks. I wouldn't want to work at some woke big tech firm. Give me a comfy job at the refrigerator company. I think I'll at least try out Codeacademy or similar to see how good or shit I am.

So, I went down the humanities path at college and after spending 6 years getting an MA degree in history I kind of lucked out on a job in an unrelated field, but it payed decent. But, all things come towards their end. Now it looks as if my days in that job are numbered and I have a feeling...

IIRC when the first Titan ever went "pop" it was such a momentous event that they were talking about making Titan wrecks permanent obects in space with beacons so you could warp there and look at them. Glad they never implemented that! :D

Lol... I'm old enough to remember when Titans were released and they were supposed to be so expensive and difficult to build there would only ever be a handfull of them in the game and if you saw one it would be like: "Oh man! I just saw a Titan! Epic!!" ... those were the days :D

Has anyone here noticed a drop in the number of active streamers after the new year? I have a pretty big follower list and during my regular stream watching hours I used to have 15-20 online to choose from, that then grew to about 30. Now I'm down to less than 10 at the start and maybe 20 later...

I'll put up tree fiddy!

The only thing surprising here is that they managed to hang on as long as they did!

But can it run Cyberpunk 2077 at 4k on Ultra settings at more than 60 fps?? :D

From what I've read, it was a dodgy place. Very, very competitive. Since there were so many people and so few resources you had to be cutthroat in your ability, hence the lack of trust, and scheming to get away with as much as you could. To try and temper that, you had Confucisism, but it was...

I kind of miss the whole "The Japs are gonna own us!" from the 80s. Now don't get me wrong, I'd have prefered it if the West and the US in particular had remained King, but if some Asian country was destined to buy us up and rule over us, I'd have preferred it to have been Japan with it's code...

Reading this thread, then remembering the story about the lead QA guy spending 150 hours or whatever in a playthrough, made me think: was the guy totally blind, or just plain incompetent?

BTW here are a couple of lore vids you might enjoy. The first one was released about a year ago, the second one a few days ago.
