Metrics are always a management thing, not a developer thing. In fairness though, you need *some* way of judging how much people like things to know what to make more of. If you ignore that aspect completely in favor of your 'vision' you end up with Brad McQuaid, which has it's own problems. I...

"Another apocalypse ? Is it Vanya again ?" "Hey !" "Come on, it's always Vanya"

I'd probably never take them off ;p

You can create a level 50 premade of any race/class combo so that's not an issue.

The talent stays for the same reasons Momentum still exists; so the people that think they are hot shit can delude themselves, and so that the dev whose baby it is doesn't get all butthurt.

Still on my list for one of the best ways to do a plot twist. When you see the reveal and then suddenly everything beforehand suddenly makes so much more sense.

Beta is too unfinished to tell at the moment, but probably. There's still a chance to fix some pants-on-head retarded decisions like locked in covenants and soulbinds not changing per spec, but they seem pretty attached to them, along with the 'build the same legendary 10 times' idea. Bastion...

implies otherwise.

This show only wishes that Sackhoff's acting was the worst thing about it.

Finished up new game+ on this. Overall great fun, and a good recommendation. I was a bit iffy on monsters to start with, but after some experimentation, they are actually super strong. Even average monster builds are competitive with all but the strongest human builds, and strong builds like...

Story wise I like it, but I really dislike the art style of the bots. Hopefully they stay on the other side mostly, the art is just so much more appealing.

The time travel shown in this series is different from Back to the Future in literally every way other than it being time travel ?!

Covenants confuse me - the idea is inherently extremely difficult to balance - even if the abilities were literally 'shoot red laser for 50 damage' or 'shoot green laser for 50 damage', they are probably going to throw in some boss with 5 mechanics all of which are red on red against a red...

Well yes, but the alternative is that he has no value to them at all, and they don't care if he dies regardless. This is the case for pretty much the entirety of the world population, whinging about it makes you look stupid and entitled.

Sometimes what's inside the outer layer is much more important than what the outer layer is made of.

Oh sorry, I think I was unclear. I meant from if the rules were an actual game that people played - having a skill that is 'absorb x% of lifetime experience from a target' in a game where people 'spend' experience on stuff would be so laughably broken. It can work in a story for the same reason...

I've seen a variety of 5120x1440 but none for x2160 - I don't think there will be any gaming ones available until the newer hdmi/dp standards are more common - 4k@10bit@120hz is already more bandwidth than either dp1.4 or hdmi 2.0 can handle.

Deca-Dence : Now *that* is what I call a rocket punch ;p I approve of this first episode in a variety of ways.

Short update this time around due to broken fingers. Only web serials for this one, caught up on a few long ones. Delve - Senescent Soul You know how in Isekai/Litrpg stories the ultra nerd main character has an instant and complete 180 in personality to be an action hero jock, with any...

This covers a lot of what springs to my mind with a dark tone. Some other possibilities in no particular order - Psycho-Pass, Made in Abyss, 'Now and Then, Here and There ', Mirai Nikki, Mnemosyne, Death Note, Shinsekai Yori, Darker than Black, Elfen Lied Note that both Madoka and Made in...

I dunno that I buy in on your prematurely cynical take on this one*, but Wool would make a fucking great show with a decent budget. * Sure, it might be just as shit as you predict, but person of interest and westworld s1 are enough for me give it a few episodes on it's own merits.

I had mixed feelings. The intro was fine, then the first half was a bunch of random nonsense with wildly overexaggerated animation. The tournament itself was good though.

The biggest mystery was never revealed though! How the fuck did the Origin get laid so often, dude is ugly as sin and creepier than Eppstein ;p Did he bring his loopers with him when he did ? Did they just stand there watching ? 8) Jokes aside, the series ended satisfyingly, wrapping...

Apparently the early difficulty was my fault for lack of attention. Patrols are much higher level than the story battles. It got a lot easier a few battles in. I'm about halfway through and liking it a lot. Tame mechanic should be 100% at 1hp, not 65% though - taunting and stalling out for...

Holy shit I suck at this game. One day I will get through a fight without fatalities, but today is not that day ;p

I mean, pugging a key just before reset is for the desperate. You can get baddies and retards any day of the week, but your odds are extra awful on the last day. Kind of best case is you are overgeared and get invited to a group to carry someone's trash alt. That's kind of insulting, but the...

Green man gaming had it for $8, so I figured why not. It looks kind of interesting but I have a pile of crap in my to-do list for gaming so never got around to it before. ( Also buying it at $40 after seeing it on sale for $15 before feels bad ).

Kind of goes with the territory of the lighter kid friendly tone - they are lucky they stumbled onto whimsically comical supervillains, because some random thug with a 9mm would have killed all of them with no effort ;p

"Your indecision baffles and angers Darkseid" Heh. 10 points for the Adam West Batman callback, I almost choked on my drink.

I did, and then went and smashed a bunch of altars which spread it everywhere anyway 🤦‍♂️

Books : Ascend Online [1-2] - Luke Chmilenko Litrpg - not to be confused with 'Awaken Online'. This is very much in the literal part, in that the characters in the book are literally playing a game - it's not secretly a real world or the object of godlike or alien machinations. They aren't...

Eh, it's trite and predictable plot line, but the episodes manage to be pretty good regardless - the whole Darkseid storyline was hilarious. I'll reserve judgement til watching them i think.

Yeah, that was actually quite reasonable. Touche writers ;p

That was great.

I watched all of this as background while doing other stuff. It was ok, it just wasn't funny - the last minute of the first episode is about as funny as it gets. That's not to say it spent all it's time trying to be funny and failing, it spends a lot of time playing it pretty straight.

It's good fun. As a joyless nitpicker I have a few random comments : - Dad starts getting into shape and disappearing for lengthy periods of time with super hot 15yr old stepdaughter, coming up with awkward excuses when asked what they were doing ? ;p

Yes, yes it is.

"That's not how space works, read a book." Pure gold, lol.

"NAACP, AARP?!" ".. I don't want to talk about it" "GAMERGATE !?" Hah.
