    The Astronomy Thread

    Current NASA cut proposal would risk canceling the Roman space telescope among other science related programs. Not sure if this could endanger the dragonfly mission as well. Hopefully Congress reigns this in and stops the cuts...

    The Sheng Long thing was funny - from hoax to actually in game

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Usually for that part you can't leave the room until you go into the artifact to confront the Dream Visitor, then share the truth with her so she believes what you were told.

    Daredevil: Born Again

    His wife fucked him while Kingpin was MIA. She fessed up and made Fisk promise not to kill him - so he kept his promise, but she said nothing about anything else so Fisk went by that and imprisoned the dude. Vanessa then saw he kept his promise in not killing him and liked that, so she killed...

    Egg prices still extremely high at the actual grocery stores, even if wholesaler prices dropped a bit.

    Once Human

    A "new map" will be easier than you think. Outside the areas surrounded some of the monoliths and the towns hubs, virtually all of the POI are repeated assets. There is also that large section of the map we haven't been able to visit (the ice area and the section with the giant tree). Season...

    Once Human

    As mentioned, resets in a primarily PvP game like Rust or Tarkov make sense because you keep a level PvP playing field it makes less sense if the majority of players are pvers or casual. I’d be curious what the actual breakdown of player population is in terms of PvP vs PvE. When Fallout 76...

    If they did a Claudia Black x Lucy Lawless sex scene, the middle aged nerd crowd would go nuts lol

    Once Human

    One change is like them to make is lower the cost of the base structure memetics from both an energy credit and memetic point perspective. I shouldn’t have to spend as much to unlock round shapes or stairs as I do advanced ammo or materials production

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    First I've heard of this - pretty cool bit of natural chemistry going on https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c728ven2v9eo

    Apple TV+ thread

    Apple, much like Amazon, had a lot of "fuck you" money to play with and hoped it would generate views (and in turn some ROI)

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    Riot MMO is going to be the new Project Titan - languishes in dev hell, never gets made, assets get used for something else

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    If we are being honest about skill, EQ1 required very little at the individual level unless you were trying to split mobs during pulls or juggle staggered CC while doing other stuff. Most of the gameplay was pretty brain dead and heavily loot dependent in terms of ability to succeed

    It's in the boonies, but found a cool location to put my base. It's right at the top of a waterfall on some land right at the edge. Nice view of the river/valley

    So by that logic, Leo DiCaprio is doing women a favor by dumping them in their mid 20s? Lol

    They only give the Hilda treatment to characters the fans like. Shale will sadly get the Hilda treatment I suspect lol

    Same with stuff like Chappie or The Creator. Great world design and concepts and special effects, but the story execution is meh.

    The MSQ gets more interesting at that point - until then it was a total slog.

    Halo

    Neil Blomkamp is a guy who always has an amazing visual style and can create an immersive looking world, but the scripts are always some inch deep word salad. If I recall, he had originally been attached to a Halo movie project that never really got off the ground and he eventually walked away from

    I still think you're seeing boogey men that aren't there. But if you really want to focus on that, recall the devs are Japanese. Japan historically has had a beef with the West and western religions going back fucking 500+ years ever since the Portuguese Catholics had machinations to take over...

    The imported ones are pretty good. Like the margarita pizza, I’ll buy that one when it is on sale

    You’re reading too much into the role quests - the role quests are just some Team Rocket level villains and dumb quests plots Although the end of the melee DPS one got a laugh out of me because it involves an imposter in the Azem Steepes and the anger once the fooled person learned it was an...

    We know the umbral calamity of ice takes place after the fall of the Allagan Empire and before the rise of the Mhach Empire. So over 2,000 years ago.

    They're going to try to shop it around, but hard to imagine it would get picked up without major changes or heavy budget cuts

    Im sure they will figure out something, but devoting that much resource to ancient content isn’t the way Honestly if they did a future arc skip, they would be best served by skipping Dawntrail lol One possible idea (spoilers for end of xpac)

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The issue isn’t cutscenes, it’s pacing and quality. No one cares about cutscene quantity if they are good and there is a good spacing of action and story. It was more of an issue here because the story wasn’t as engaging. A “clean break” from the old stuff makes no sense until they’ve got a...

    They need more content before they can clean break from the original arr - ew. You don’t just flush a decade of content and then say “lol now u just have Wuk Lamat!”

    I don't think they're writing for kids, but they are definitely writing for morons. Fact is you can write highbrow, but you have to deal with a lot of thick brow people. Like I was watching some streamers get to the part where Bakool Ja Ja tells you how Blessed Siblings are made. A lot of...

    Best change is you can land on water now - I fucking hated ocean planets because you’d have to park on an island and then either swim back or find more land to summon your ship on

    Sometimes you just don’t feel like you gotta poop. Pooping every day always seemed odd to me because always felt like you had to force daily poops

    Isn’t that already in game? At least as so far as jet packs. On an airless moon you can travel a mile on a single punch-boost

    The raid is pretty much WWE in a fantasy/sci-fi setting. Even had fighters attacking the refs lol. It sort of works 1st boss was a lot harder than the 2nd and 3rd. Way too much pattern memorization - i can't remember phone numbers, I'm not going to remember some 10 step sequence bullshit
