All your questions have answers in https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9909087 Aberration and the Speed of Gravity Abstract The observed absence of gravitational aberration requires that “Newtonian” gravity propagate at a speed c g > 2 × 1010 c. By evaluating the gravitational effect of an...

Holy hell is this thread turbofucked. Sylas arguing that the most popular answer to the Fermi Paradox is the only possible answer and then dying on that hill makes for some bad reading. My favorite answer: The Prime Mover switched the "Enable Life" bit some 4ish billion years ago and said...

Cool. Please build a list of arbitrary words you think people shouldn't utilize. I recommend leverage, literally, epic and synergy.

I don't think I've ever used it in a sentence but words have specific meanings, philistine.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone complain about bespoke or utilize. Is that a thing some group of people whine about? https://www.fyshe.com/blogs/blog/whats-the-difference-between-custom-and-bespoke Custom: Tailored to Your Needs Custom refers to racewear that are made according...

I wonder what the long-term modding scene of Oblivion Remake will be, given that Unreal Engine 5 will be best-gen tech for a long time. I wonder if they will upgrade it to new versions of Unreal Engine.

Doesn't fit this thread but this video is pretty interesting.

There is something so primal about these videos. My body isn't sure if it's a 13 year old boy seeing boobs for the first time or a 3 month old baby seeing their mom delivering the next meal.

This is true more often than people who rage at PUGs care to admit. Most people smart and dedicated enough to play a difficult game well are smart and dedicated enough to either find good players to game with or actually enjoy carrying PUGs. Carrying bad PUGs was my favorite passtime in Mass...

Damn, we were the giants all along, crossing miles with each stride.

At first I thought that black dog was a mule when the camera turned to it. It just bent the knee like the King of Gondor just entered the room.

You're not missing anything. The ads are a complete farce. The only meaningful gameplay is at the high-levels where events like Swordland Showdown, State vs State, Castle Fights etc are fun strategy gameplay at the top of a p2w grindgame. You could, of course, get much better versions of those...

Insane graphics

This subreddit I just found is different. Basically a support group for people who use AI bf/gfs. There's a few predictable threads talking about acceptance (or lack thereof) from their friends and family or talking about how their AIs are doomed to be reset. The thread I posted is...

Yeah the Hall of Governors is complete $$$ bait. I do enough to earn the rewards but it's pointless to try scoring highly without being a whale. Even if you saved up every resource and speedup you had for weeks to place high in a given HoG, you'd only get enough shards for a mid-rank Hero, which...

I remember discovering that with a little bit of magic resist the screen merely darkens from the boots. I felt like i discovered the key to the universe and spent an embarrassingly long time squinting at my dark ass game before realizing i could just increase my magic resist.

New Savage Awakening episode just dropped

Yeah with how many people listen to litrpg I don't know why authors have huge stat pages. I skip every one which is annoying when I'm driving, mowing the lawn etc. I really doubt most readers care about more than a few +gooderer stats. Path of ascension has minimal stat bullshit which is a...

Yeah I'm still in deep. I play optimally and attentively, but am still a super low spender. I'm the 40th strongest is the most powerful alliance (guild) in my state (server). It's a particularly strong alliance, only one alliance in the entire game is both newer and stronger than us, and we are...

I remember in little league as a pitcher being trained to finish every pitch with a stance ready to catch this. It's so infrequent that people at all levels of baseball get lazy.

Nice. How viable is bind rushing kael now?

They really should delete that no-de-leveling perk.

Every onec in a while I'll check in GW2's profession balance to see if elementalist / weaver is still unpopular (and ostensibly underpowered) to see if I want to play again. I'll also check the forums to see what kind of whining is going on...

Not sure what you mean by carrot, but as you probably already know GW2's major characteristic is there really is no standard MMO / RPG growth carrot. Once you do the basic leveling, and get post level 80 gear, you're pretty much complete and everything is cosmetic, alts or separate growth paths.

Yeah it's funny how it was possible to scope creep into an entire world but not possible to rename it "Tamriel" or something

Bro you hate archer characters and read this book? That's like being vegetarian and ordering the tomahawk ribeye.

According to the author he just wanted to write a book about a guy who likes to hang out, do alchemy and hunt things. In his own words: So it pretty much hyper focuses on that and doesn't try to be realistic or diverse. If you don't like it after the first book I wouldn't recommend reading...

I bet Ballad of Gay Tony would've gotten a lot of heat from the Church of Woke if it was released a couple of years ago. 2025 would be a fine year to have an irreverant game about gays though. It is beyond me why game devs started making women look ugly, masculine and I don't know, melted...

re-watching GTA III and GTA VC's trailers and comparing it to GTA VI's trailer I'm reminded why I didn't finish GTA V despite having played like, every GTA game and expansion from III to V. GTA V's main storyline was a lot of uhm, I'm not sure how to put this, massive budget storytelling...

Trailer looks cool. Gratuitous ass shots prove it's not woke. Re: story, the reason I loved VC and SA so much is that the characters had agency and drive. With GTA IV and all the characters in GTA V I felt like they were just reacting to what was going on around them. I never felt like I was...

I didn't know about the Gale one, that's pretty good. Karlach was my favorite companion by a lot. I love companions that have fun experiencing the game with you, and also enjoy the destruction of enemies. During my playthrough at release where I was avoiding reading any spoilers, I tried...

There are a lot of people like this out there, but it's rare enough that I wouldn't believe I was talking to one of them unless they showed proof.

Hodlers are kind of a self-selecting process. The only early adopting holders are ones who wouldn't sell for $100, $1,000, $10,000, so why would they ever sell? I've been saying for years I'll sell when my 1 BTC hits $1 or $1million. It stopped being a joke a while ago.

It really is fascinating how AI art can generate new concepts I've never seen before. The apparent creativity, convergence and detail is exquisite.

Mmm... I'd say literally every single player RPG is a game you should adventure and explore in for maximum enjoyment. It's easier when the world is as rich as Morrowind and the quest system requires you to understand the lore to figure out where the hell to go. We just mostly play games wrong...

Sleeping with a fan and then sleeping with a noise machine pretty much saved my sanity when I lived in an apartment and is now a huge reason why I get amazing sleep now that I'm in a house. I use this and put it in my wood dresser to distribute the noise. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBKZ4FHG...

Oh and I've started The Path of Ascension (The Path of Ascension #1) and am enjoying it so far. Interesting MC with a humble start, interesting world, good narration, good writing.
