    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Any of you catch the recent JRE podcast with David Fravor? Listening to that got me thinking about those videos again (Go Fast, Gimbal, Nimitz). Fravor has a pretty compelling story. It seems strange to me that this is not a bigger deal.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'm at 52 with my warrior. I somehow ended up falling into giant horde guild that is the first horde side to clear mc and kill ony. I have a feeling that by the time I finish the slog to 60 they'll all be tired of raiding. Plus I think we have like 50 warriors. Makes we wish I had rolled on...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Hm. Some of the guides I've read suggest HS should be in your rotation. Also, been meaning to ask, when tanking do you guys use a shield the whole instance or only on bosses (and maybe put it when there are a lot of casters.)?

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Curious what you guys think on a couple of warrior questions. 'm 46, spec'd 31/6/0/. - I just picked up a Stoneslayer. Nice increase in DPS over the Axe but I'm wondering whether it would make sense to respec to swords. I know you usually consider dps first and foremost but it is a big drop...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Fair enough on not starting with Taunt. I do use T-Clap on three or more but it doesn't seem to have a very high aggro value vs a mage AoEing. Good to know. I will change my sequence. Tanking is new to me and I haven't spent the time researching the Theorycraft like I did for when I main'd a...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I tanked Uldaman in a PUG last night. I don't think I ever went through it back in the day. That place is a pain in the dick, especially with a shitty, cranky pug. It may be that I'm just a shitty tank but I find it hard as hell to maintain any sort of aggro when you're dealing with multiple...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Somehow I'm about to hit 40 and I only have 40g. I probably spent < 2g on gear while leveling and actually turned a small profit on blacksmithing. Not sure where I went wrong but I need to make some cheese.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I started playing a few weeks ago and am having a blast. I started a warrior, which I had never played, and man is it easy to get into groups. Level 34 now. It seems like people are always looking for tanks. As far as I can tell, most of the guilds are shit on my server, though. Is there a...

    XCOM 2

    I never finished this previously so I re-installed it recently and now I remember why I didn't finish it. I finished EU and the original multiple times but this is just painful. Maybe I get too hung up on not losing soldiers but some of the missions are so retardedly difficult that it kills...

    Slay the spire

    Yeah, I played this on rainy days over spring break. I definitely got my money's worth out of it. I won with all three classes but haven't been able to put it all together on the final push. Made it to the final battle a couple of times and lost. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a fun...

    No I have not started using steel yet. I didn't even know the recipe. I've been trying to avoid using Internet info to advance.

    Conan Exiles

    I'm still pretty new at this. I started a new game about a week ago and had a much better starting camp, right across from a huge iron deposit. This really helped get things going faster. I still feel like I'm doing something wrong though as I'm around level 20-25,in medium armor, and I still...

    BIOS like TI SYS/BIOS or just some BIOS?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah the Areons are great. I'm just wondering how they compare to the gaming chairs. I don't care if it is ugly so long as it is comfortable and holds up.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I need a new chair for my home office. I write code throughout most of the day. I use the same desk for gaming. Currently have a shitty leather chair that my wife bought for me years ago and I have always hated it. I've used Aeron and Aeron clones and like them but I'm also looking at...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I got my money's worth out of Elite. Eve is a great concept but just doesn't do it for me.

    City of Heroes has actually been online for years....

    I'm on Indomitable. It's been an interesting trip down memory lane. I'm a fickle bitch when it comes to games these days though so I might delete it at any moment. How can they sustain 5 grand per month if they are not taking donations? Maybe the retards at NCsoft should take note that there...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    I'd like to see a fresh take on some of the concepts of A Tale in the Desert. Most intriguing in that game was the resource and crafting trees. The market started with mundane resource gathering such as plants, stone, ores and wood and everything, literally everything, was derived from it...

    Everquest II

    I actually decided to give Albion Online a shot. I like crafting but kind of prefer the ATITD approach where the refining of the materials actually requires skill, like a mini game. Graphics suck balls but I'm going to give it a few hours and see how it goes. I'll probably give EQ2 a look as...

    Everquest II

    As I posted in another thread, I've been looking for an MMO to play casually. I considered EQ but it's just so clunky and not being able to start in Halas just kills the nostalgia hit I was looking for. Probably dead in the old newbie zones anyway. I see that the EQ2 numbers are pretty low...

    New World

    I've had a hankering to do some casual MMO. I never played EQ2 so I was thinking about giving it a look. Other than that, looks like it's either this, ESO or waiting for WoW Classic (have not played since soon after launch of Draenor). I need one of you Amazonians to hook me up.

    Wolfpack - Hardcore Co-Op Multiplayer U-Boat Sim

    I don't know if anyone else here is. If you get on the Discord server, it is pretty easy to find a crew. You'll develop a group of people you like playing with and probably some to avoid.

    My favorite is screaming ALAAAHHHM! And sounding the alarm for a crash dive.

    Wolfpack - Hardcore Co-Op Multiplayer U-Boat Sim

    I'm a bit of a naval history nerd, especially subs, so I was excited to see this but felt the price tag was too much for EA. If you were into the SH series, you will love this. After watching some streams, I decided to at least give it a try and I am impressed. Still a lot of features to be...

    EVE Online

    The talk about Eve, although I understand very little of the lingo, always seems more interesting than actually playing Eve. I have tried a few times and just don't get it. I guess I'd be willing to give it a shot again if there were a way to quickly get into some interesting action.

    Dawn of Man (Banished meets Age of Empires)

    I played it for a couple of hours. It was okay. The view control and AI felt a little off. I returned it.

    Civilization VI

    Yeah there is no fucking way I would pay $40 for an expansion. I've logged 30 hours in vanilla and I'd say that is probably worth the $15 I paid for it but damn people some money into this game. If the expansion ever goes on sale below $10 I might look at it.

    Civilization VI

    I ended up buying this on sale. After a couple of start/stops to learn some of the new mechanics, I did a full play through and got a Science Victory with Rome. I have to say that I do like some of the changes, e.g. Districts. All of the bitching I heard about the AI I assumed meant it was...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Downloaded this to finally try it out. Beautiful game. Tight gun play. First two matches, killed before I could find a weapon. Third game, listened two some tween ramble on about how he needed to find a better scope, but I lived for quite a while but never saw anyone until they shot me in...

    Subnautica

    Well, I have never been shy about liquor and games. I've never tried weed but it is legal in Michigan now for recreational use so maybe I will give it a shot one of these days.

    Subnautica

    I really thought I was going to like this game. I picked it up on Steam on sale a while back and early in the game I was trying to find salt or something and swam around for half an hour looking for it to no avail. Finally said fuck it and refunded it. I think I am turning into an angry old...

    Civilization VI

    I'm a huge Civ fan but I have held off on this one due to everyone shitting on it. I played a little of it when they had the free weekend but not much. At $15 it's almost worth a roll of the dice to see if it has been improved.

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    My youngest (just turned 12) was a Fortnite kiddo. Used his money to buy skins and shit. He uninstalled it a month ago and hasn't looked back. He owns noobs in Overwatch now but I bet he will end up playing this. Actually,

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Watched some of this last night. Had not even heard of it until yesterday. Respawn did a great job with Titanfall 2. It didn't get enough attention in my opinion. I don't really play BR but this looks pretty slick.

    Civilization VI

    How can a $39 DLC for a game with such a shitty rating be the top seller on Steam right now?
