    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    What do you mean by QA? Manual testers running brainless checklists? Or people that are basically devsecops in all but name?

    How far are we from making online worlds with AI and will pantheon release first ?

    AI programming will be released and subsequently finish Pantheon before humans do.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I want to say gaming as a whole has moved past MMOs. You should plan on a niche population and be pleasantly surprised if it sustains above that.

    Smartphones

    I can't remember the last time I used a case. I don't think I've ever used a screen protector. By the time my phone is beat up such that it's physically unusable, the battery is far ahead of it.

    Your coworker has some fertile sperm. Incidental babies no matter what he does.

    MTG thread

    At first I read this as "Secret Lair Dwarf Fortress" and giggled because it would be funny in a meme sense to see Magic cards with 100% ASCII art. Then I realized my mistake and got sad because WOTC will do it for real and fuck up the delicacy it would demand.

    Star Trek: Picard

    The "don't think, just get excited for next scene" has gone so meta that they're teasing the next season of a show while that same show is still airing its current season.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I think you could make a decently accurate guess at Furor's take on the game industry.

    In this specific context, which person is tied to the bed?

    The pizza is the most outlandish part of that conspiracy.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    At the very least, the DNA test is pointless as far as convincing his wife and kids of his innocence. Might be useful in court proceedings though. From the way you describe it, I'd be waiting for the other shoe to drop. 2 random kids out of nowhere seems too low to just be bad coincidence...

    Thanks to wow I now have a prison penpal, or maybe I was trolled

    What's the objective if this is likely a troll? An unnoticed troll is a sad troll. You should ask him what his streaming username is.

    Car ?'s

    Finally got the car back. It was "hose clamp loose on air intake". Wife was reminded about having to break extremely hard prior to the accident upon reading that... Anyway, car drove back fine, so I guess this was just a latent issue that was going to happen sooner or later. Appreciate all...

    That sounds to me like demand has abated but businesses are trying to keep the margin they enjoyed.

    FOH Shower Thoughts

    Lack of consequences, essentially. I understand and mostly agree with the philosophical aversion, but for lack of better alternatives, a ban IS a consequence.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    They don't know how to do that, see Picard series. This is classic battered wife syndrome. You won't admit the actual problem, a JJ Abrams stooge is in control of everything Star Trek, and instead find meaningless other things they could have done differently that might have resulted in a...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Some guys on an ancient forum turned their thread into a fail gif thread. I'm trying to make Nirgon's low effort posts for him so we can get back to posting gifs. Would it help if I ended my post in whews and lads?

    The Umbrella Academy

    It's an interesting development from a "weaponizing the argument" standpoint. The same way "feminism" and "equality" pushed for letting trans athletes play in the sport in which they identified, but instead just ended up with men demolishing women sports. This sets precedent for rewriting...

    Humans being shitbags is one of the most reliable things. If not scalpers and miners, someone somewhere will find a way to make you pay Jayrebb prices for your next batch of parts.

    Path of Exile

    It's all the prattling on about nature, isn't it? Master Surgeon with when-hit flask charges is a silly amount of reactive sustain, you should try it.

    Path of Exile

    Pathfinder or marauder. Both have access to reliable phys -> elemental that lets you convert all of your phys taken. You would still use armor though, just get the Maxarius keystone that makes it protect against elemental hits. Regarding EO, I want to say crit is calculated on use. So you...

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    I think the Academy can be forgiven for their action, or lack thereof, if they take away the Oscar. Not Will's, but Shakespeare In Love. A sacrifice is demanded.

    Path of Exile

    What's the Orb of Storms for? If it works like other channeling skills, you only get one pulse from the orb when you first start channeling. Have you glanced at how often EO is up? Seems like it wouldn't be reliable. Have you considered getting some life recoup? I think a certain percentage...

    Car ?'s

    Yeah, that's why I wasn't too concerned about an ELI5 summary. I was being a pain in the ass and they got their taste. Total was ~$550 after taxes and tacking on reading out the diagnostic code on Monday. A bit eyerolly, but they probably could have fucked me a half dozen other ways.

    Car ?'s

    The fix itself was cheap. The couple hours of labor for diagnostic work were about what you'd expect for a major metro area. Bill came out to just under $400 before taxes. Knowing no fuel was getting to the engine I guess was easy? Figuring out where the problem from gas tank to engine I...

    Car ?'s

    Amazing what talking to a manager can accomplish. Afterwards, problems were found and ultimately diagnosed. I want to say this is what they were doing all along, but the guy I was talking to originally slurred his words so much that it made me question his intelligence. Also, he sounded...

    How? That's a ridiculous number of new hires for even the largest of corporation, let alone the federal government in the "fuck working" era.

    Perhaps they're an underpowered military. A Lichtenstein militarized IRS.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Am I missing something here? The books are essentially already written, right? If so, this is less like a kickstarter(help me fund this promising idea) and more like a ransom. It also kinda reminds me of publishers ripping content out of games and then charging for it as DLC. Sanderson...

    Sure feels that way. But just paid the fucker off last year and it's only got ~60k on it.

    Car ?'s

    They finally got around to reading the diagnostic code(twice!), "engine won't start". I don't think it's the PCS sensors, and turning them off definitely won't help. However, I'm willing to bet they're suffering from a root electrical system problem. Maybe that shit will be covered by the...

    Home Improvement

    None of mine are permanently shaded. A couple of them are near the house, so they are partially shaded. And the other two grow close to a walnut tree. They don't seem worse for it. If anything, my harsh trimming is probably worse on them. Fucking things grow too fast so I try to trim the...
