    That is really, realy cool. Given microsofts track record it could be snake oil, but illl give them the benefit of the doubt. I wonder how close theyd be to doing this with two kinects instead of whatever they had.

    If you just want to kill things (in PvE) this is the perfect game. There is nothing but the grind for competitive players.

    BDO absolutely has quest hubs. However, the quests themselves don't give much (if any) leveling experience so they are semi-optional. If you want to do any of the crafting / trading, you'll need to do a tremendous amount of them. The setup I have, where I have 9 tree nodes + 1 wheat node + 3...

    In GW2 I went to WvW at level 5 or so and never left. A couple years post-release I set everything up to come back so I could actually see the world, do all the quests etc. I saw that they nerfed ride the lightning into the ground so I logged out and uninstalled the game.

    Microsoft's AI Program Goes Racist, Promptly Turned Off After One Day Active

    They can tune it to be less racist and not lose any sort of ai purity. Intelligence and freedom is a spectrum rather than a binary operation.

    What f#king programming language should I use? I know this is just a fun joke tool, but I did not agree with it. Probably the biggest question it missed for me was, "Are there a massive number of open source libraries that help with your specific problem domain that are only available on...

    Politically it's already happening though. Hell even Luxembourg is getting in on it. Luxembourg to support space mining - BBC News Maybe China/Russia would start to take action as we progress, but will they do so with war? I doubt it. If anything it'll be another space race. Getting an...

    Yes. It's a massive issue. And I don't trust any of the asteroid mining ops or regulatory bodies to get it right before some area of the world gets cratered. Still worth it though.

    There's always soon after release drama for so many different reasons. We had one guy quit the game this week. He played BDO for two years through a VPN in a different language he didn't understand, then in NA release he got to a high level and geared in two weeks then quit. This is a super...

    I don't see the world comparison either. EQ had a massive world with a variety of zones and traversing from one end to the other without porting took hours and could be pretty dangerous (<3 kithicor) with severe penalties if you fucked up and lost your corpse. BDO has basically three zones, all...

    I actually do too. In BDO grinding is so easy (as a wizard) because you can just hop around and use any one of the many "kill everything buttons" but if you stop for 4 seconds to type mobs will spawn and attack you. I actually prefer EQ's grinding where it's slower, methodical and inherently...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I feel like the "weight of human on earth" comparison is more suitable than the gravitational force of two human beings together. I have no idea how strong that is and my only frame of reference is when Sandra Bullock and George Clooney drifted apart from another in Gravity.

    I also don't get the comparisons to EQ. 1. No forced grouping. 2. No named spawn camping 3. No raiding. 4. Completely different leveling and gearing system. 5. Action style combat. 6. No support classes. 7. PvP I mean, what makes it like EQ?

    That would be the kind of thing that would transform the space race for sure. I imagine that another high value asteroid would be one that is basically solid ice and very retrievable. Moving a big hunk of ice into orbit around the earth would make space a lot cheaper. I'm super biased...

    I also wonder how much the CV1 will sell for on ebay in the first couple weeks. I can't wait to get it and didn't buy it to resell it, but I just don't have time now because of Black Desert Online.

    I always assume when I see people say, "I make 300k a year doing X!" that they got paid $35 one time for 15 minutes of work and just extrapolated it for a full year. But lendarios is a good and honest man, and when he says he has a seven figure salary you can trust that he is a salaried...

    It hasn't been debunked, much less thoroughly debunked. The BBC article has the right of it The experimental results haven't been really verified one way or the other. The thrust is theorized to be caused by thermal pressure, but that hasn't been proven. Disgarded would be the better term...

    There's no casual PRX guild that you can get in without meeting the requirements, but there is a guild that has some people who are leveling in it. It only has a few people though.
