    That hasn't been the case for a while. But at the same time, I'm not usually sitting in the queue on release day, so I'm not watching Steam patch PoE like a hawk.

    PoE2 will use gold to instantly purchase items listed by players. Gold is player bound and can only be acquired by playing the game. You can still trade items if you want to forgo this transaction tax. I don't think it's been confirmed, but it would be pretty silly not to backport this system...

    Depends what you want out of the game. For someone that plays PoB(not a typo), there's definitely plenty of build puzzles to solve in this game. It's not as complex as PoE. Also, fosters healthy competition in the ARPG market. GGG has already changed their stance on some aspects of trade...

    Borderlands

    Please, no. This movie has more than enough eyesores. Also, it would be uncomfortable to watch an actress that's letting her hair grey play a mentally damaged child. A movie with better writing chops could use that to its advantage.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Is this a common development practice? After we release, the release branch is merged into master. Is each season branching off master really early and then never merging master into their branch?

    Being able to chat with friends in game but little desire to play with them. I know I fall under that category.

    Does the middle one, offline but chat, have all the server issues people have been mentioning? Or is that only the last one, fully online?

    Europa Universalis IV

    Real shame they raised the subscription price. By itself, still cheap. In context of knowing they're going to continue pumping out DLC that raises the overall cost of full ownership, leaves a bad taste. Is there a historical map-painting alternative?

    Doom: Eternal

    Thread necro. Had some time between other games and got around to playing this. I've put a few hours in and I'm confused. I seem to remember loving Doom 2016. Shoot at shit until it flashes, glory kill it, repeat. Good, brainless fun. Moreover, all the information you need to react to is...

    I will agree that Blizzard wants to sell MTX. See above about some singular WoW MTX making more than the entirety of SC2:WoL. They've been on the MTX train pre D3 I think. I disagree that they are competing for GGG's market share. In this forum alone, what percentage of people are actively...

    Path of Exile

    The memory game throws people for a loop, especially the third phase that introduces coil beams. I think the memory game is poorly designed and counterintuitive to what a player comes to expect doing other boss fights that lead up to that one. Don't waste your time getting splinters via 10-way...

    My point is that I'm not clicking on a link to "goody2.ai", ever. Nor "brain.wtf", for that matter. The original post reads like a textbook phishing email. I'm glad the links are safe. I did not intend for you to take that risk.

    I think more to my point is that I've never had these considerations while playing PoE. I certainly like a good story in a game, it's just so rare to see it properly executed. Such that I don't consider it a negative when a game basically doesn't include a story because I'd much rather that...

    The domain itself looks suspicious, let alone directly linking a .mp4 file. I have NoScript and Ublock Origins running in addition to Windows Defender. The best piece of security is using your brain.

    Rare is the game that seamlessly interleaves narrative and gameplay. I've yet to understand why GGG expends resources explaining why the player is a murder hobo. I also suspect it's why the lead writer left a few years back.

    This has been my experience too(making shit up). My fellow employees will use it to look up answers to development questions and we frequently find it will fabricate commandline options to utilities or parameters to API calls.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If expectations are clearly communicated, I don't think what you want is unachievable. If someone is in a meeting, I have no expectation that they will respond. I'll leave them a message hope they get back to me before end of day. If your colleagues are expecting you to respond despite you...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If someone has a status that effectively boils down to "I'm not going to respond right now", then I think the expectation is that it's ok to leave a message, don't expect a response. Is the problem that you can't read their message and respond later because it shows you've read it? You can opt...

    What does it taste like? You could combine it with blue cheese dressing as a dip for chicken wings(just missed the super bowl!). The vinegar component in a vinaigrette for a chicken chef's salad. Use it to spike your mother-in-law's coffee.

    Not being at a meeting is a very easy thing for others to notice. When whomever is running the meeting has to stop what they're doing and check attendance because that person isn't answering questions, everyone will notice. It's worse than the person who was obviously not paying attention and...

    Ok, that's a bit different. I do wish there was a way to properly account for recurring bullshit like meetings when planning iterations. I've done a pretty good job of being vocal during standup when I need to spend hours prepping for a meeting or putting out some fire. I don't even have to...

    If you want that promotion, hours of meetings per day will likely be the expectation. I try to plan around the meetings, do trivial stuff like email during meetings where I don't have to pay attention much. Or I get stuff done around the house during the workday and then work on stuff that...
