    The Astronomy Thread

    Based on relativity, there is diminishing returns to acceleration. The closer to light speed you get, the greater the energy cost as a function of your mass. For that reason it is thought that nothing with any large mass (like a starship) can be accelerated to the speed of light realistically...

    Chrono Odyssey

    95% of the time, Korean devs + MMO = p2w model Which is sad, because usually the games have some cool mechanics or combat or really nice graphics

    The Astronomy Thread

    The issue would be pressures to expand on a long journey like that - your own solar system could sustain you in that case. The only strong reason to venture elsewhere is because you have gotten to the point where you are close to exhausting the resources of your solar system. Economically it...

    Just to clarify, when I say FTL, I don't mean actually traveling faster than light in terms of linear speed. Mathematically it has been shown that it could be possible to warp space in a localized region and so long as you could produce propulsion, you could effectively "ride the distortion"...

    Honestly I blame Bush for that - he started to do his war on porn around that time, but it had the knockon effect of making advertisers and payment processors really skittish about all sorts of content beyond erotic stuff.

    Dune Awakening

    Water is a survival issue very early, but once you get the dew harvester and the water flasks and storage tanks setup, you barely even need blood it feels like. Most of my water usage was in materials production. Biggest environmental threat is the sandworm - until you can fly, you're always...

    It's the exact same thing that happens in film - you get some guy who makes a low budget independent film, but it is really creative or has great writing or great camera work because it is a work of passion. But when they get picked up by a big studio to make some larger budget film, they don't...

    Japanese game companies make shitty decisions all the time. SquareEnix dumped all the western studios it had acquired after a string of flops, but even domestically they make bad decisions. For example, they've siphoned away a lot of the money FF14 pulled in to shore up underperforming titles.

    Right, unless we can figure out how to fold space or wormholes are real or we discover some completely new aspect of physics, then FTL based on our current understanding isn't possible. And if that is the case, then the only feasible reason to invest in such a journey would be because you need...

    Dune Awakening

    Hagga Basin has no base raiding and very limited open PVP (just a few spots). Deep Desert has open PVP, but there is a PVE area where you can build temp bases to store stuff. They haven't really designed the game for base raiding and as far as I know, there is no full-loot PVP (outside of a...

    That is an offshoot, but more importantly it makes the suggestion that complex multicellular life itself could be very rare. If you watched the video, it discusses how life on Earth almost went extinct in the far past because it was less effective at adapting to changes in the environment. It...

    Dune Awakening

    I think they have mentioned that private servers will be a thing eventually, but not at launch. I know a couple streamers I watch who have setup RP servers before in other games (including Conan) want to do a Dune RP server if only for a bit, so I have to imagine this made its way to the devs...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    I agree. It's just an uninspired game at its core in its current state that is missing a lot of core features that people usually enjoy in extract shooters, like prox voice chat and viable route to play solo. Assuming Arc Raiders doesn't completely shit the bed when it comes out (rumor is...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I would probably recommend waiting a bit on DOS2 if you just finished BG3. I made the mistake of playing it immediately after BG3 and I just kept finding myself missing BG3 style mechanics and graphics quality since BG3 was still so fresh in my mind, so I lost interest pretty quickly.

    True, it really does come down to being a mindflayer. They don’t have the same emotional capacity that the other races do. Not to say they don’t have any emotions, but they definitely lack in the empathy/love realm. It’s an interesting conundrum: what happens when you have memories of love...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Basically global issues like war and resources and and limited nuclear exchanges and hostile AI cause western governments to collapse. Corporations basically take over the role of governments and with no real checks can basically do whatever they want. The corporations also go to war with each...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    In terms of terrain, you could have the Great Lake drained and it basically just be a “desert” area outside the city. You could have rusted cargo ships doting the landscape among various “towns” and water extractors trying to coax the last bits of water from underground

    Cyberpunk 2077

    CDPR has previously mentioned that V's story is done, so I don't think they are going to dive into a direct continuation of 2077 from that perspective. Having it take place in some post-apocalyptic style shithole city would also let you bypass some of the corporate fallout from 2077...

    Helldivers II

    Ya those flesh heap fuckers are hard because they run super fast once they enrage and if you have medium/heavy armor you aren’t outrunning them. The trick with them is to kill all the glowing faces on them. Weapons with shrapnel work well or fire/gas weapons or powerful explosives, tricky bit...

    Hololive - Vtuber Thread.

    They have a pretty large and loyal fanbase, so not surprising. Controversy where the streamer looks like the victim also helps. That Harry Potter controversy with Pikmee (she wanted to play the Harry Potter game and terminally online people attacked her and bullied her out of playing it) paid...

    Helldivers II

    Crossbow and a MG stratagem works well for the landed ships. Pop the shield with the mg, then a single crossbow shot into the open door insta kills the ship Hornet launcher is useful too - makes shooting down the jetpack guys easier since they constantly move around. 2-3 darts will take them...

    Helldivers II

    Those missions are tough - the longer ships stay up, the more shit that spawns. They usually land in clusters or 2 or 3. The lander ships do show up on the map. Main goal is killing the ships, once you deplete reserve ships and landed ship quota is done, mission is complete splitting your...

    Not as great as you imagine it up be. Fallout 76 is kind of MMO lite and only has prox voice chat. People have begged for text chat because a) not everyone uses mics b) it’s easier to coordinate via text when you’re trying to get an entire server to go to one specific location

    Zombies you usually want aoe weapons. Since you barely played I presume you don’t have much in way of warbond weapons or strategems, which would make it hard. The light machine gun stratagem might be good then - lots of ammo, can use it as a primary weapon mostly, and is good at dropping...

    One cool part is there are other NPC soldiers and you can give them orders like follow, hold and they will even inject you with stims at times when you get injured They get overrun easily - I had a squad hold a spot and as I left like 30 zombies overran them lol

    You can, but you get a better ending if you do side quests I dunno when they added it, but I found a happy Karlach ending during a recent play through I did with the unrestricted party size mod 1) Had Orpheus become the mindflayer 2) had Wyll bring Karlach to hell and I stayed 3) at the...

    You can’t self regulate trolls in global chat beyond blocking them in some cases. New World is constantly a situation where someone intentionally drops racial slurs or call people gamer words and the server mass reports them and they get a 3 day chat ban, although that’s common in any PvP...

    In one save I cut a deal with Gortash after I killed Orin - you have to be firm with the “you keep your stone, I keep mine” offer otherwise he thinks you’re weak. As long as you don’t try to go to the underwater prison or fuck with the foundry, he is onboard with the deal. However if you...
