Oh really :trollface:

Yes. Then you went on to conflate that with no titanforging as a 'well, obviously those two have to go together', and then applied it back to years of previous discussion which never talked about loot amounts one way or another and expressed confusion that people wanted to have less loot just to...

Well, part of the problem here is that there was no 'titanforging or less loot' dilemma until you invented one right here. Other than that there's the usual 'How dare these scrubs have better gear than me just because they are lucky", but mostly it's because people like to be finished with...

This prompted me to take a look at the workshop for this - wow, that's a hell of a lot of quality mod content.

It goes in a rather surprising direction to end up as well. For something so out of left-field it was a pretty satisfying ending to the series.

No, it was just original Bernard that wanted the hosts to gain sentience. Also outside AI is a product of a completely different, unrelated company, and it isn't sentient. That's like saying it's dumb for microsoft to be working on cortana when google is already way better at search.

I can guarantee they are going to regret that one if it makes it live ;p

Only watched first ep so far. It was good, will watch more.

Tower of God is one of the few ones I've read, it's really weird seeing the animation look exactly like the original art. It's good though. I'm interested to see if they update some of the translation - the english translation for a lot of the early-mid bits are kinda sketchy.

Bah. I just finished watching this a few hours ago and then see this. I was actually wondering if it would get a second season in any reasonable timeframe due to corona so not really surprised I guess. Still sucks though.

This wasn't bad. It was sort of weird though , as they have the giant plot twist that completely undermines everything about the main character and his motivations - and then it just keeps going like that wasn't important. Vin Diesel is like 'shrug, whatever, back to revenge murderin' It's...

Obviously the financial model needs to change - they wouldn't have run out of money otherwise. I'm thinking they change the gold shop to a cash shop, that should fix it ;p

Wait, hang on, 'Planetary sterilization pattern number five' ?! Romulan space academy must be a pretty entertaining place.

I see MMO rules apply to anime MMO as well - exploit early, exploit often ;p

Just to be contrary, I'd suggest the argument that it's more plausible that androids can mind meld than Vulcans can, because Vulcans don't have wifi. This is, of course, completely ridiculous, but so is the original argument.

"Are you a dangerously unstable synthetic life form ? Do you want to wipe out all organic life ? Call us now on 800-NOT-A-TRAP and we'll engage in a bit of light genocide"

Ironically, I finished grinding up all the region rewards, went to make a cool deck and found I lacked any enthusiasm to make one.

I thought this was a good start to the season. It doesn't have much in common feel-wise with season 1, but that's ok - if it was a new show starting with that as the pilot I'd be really optimistic. I am disappointed, but unsurprised at the lack to T&A. With even Starz letting down the side...

Yeah, Pirate's output is some next-level insanity; bi-weekly chapter updates are sometimes larger than some entire books I have read, heh.

Year One/Of Blood and Bone - Nora Roberts I read these two in honor the Coronavirus ;p An accidental blood sacrifice in a place of power returns magic, both light and dark, to the world, along with a rapidly mutating and extremely virulent form of SARS. The majority of the world's population...

Yeah. I'll give them credit though - the scenery they've shown in the screenshots etc is very pretty too. The intro video was also top notch. The voice acting was excellent, the terrain system seemed fun - bashing the rogue off the box and over the edge of the walkway was hilarious. It...

I disagree - the morale effects of mana peal and essence grind on alts has pretty much eliminated all but the most hardcore in my guild from maintaining them. I have plenty of 120 alts - all of them undergeared, with no essences. Sure I could spend 3hours doing the cloak quest, then chain-run...

It's pretty good. Self aware, doesn't take itself too seriously, funny and amusing. Cheesing the absolute shit out of the epic quest had me lol'ing.

Heh. I find reviews like 'waaaaah, diversity!' and 'SJW rabble rabble liberal conspiracy' to be particularly unhelpful, because just because someone hates something for reasons you find stupid, doesn't mean that it's not terrible. I watched the first episode of this and it was ok, but I don't...

That's actually what this entire thing is about - apparently they had a fight with their publisher about it, then broke up and did their own version with no microtransactions. We'll see if they manage to stay away from the sweet, sweet lure of the cash shop after they release though ;p...

You know the aoe sim is right there on the page right ? It looks even worse. Suggesting corruption is balanced is straight up retarded when the top 3 individually do more than the bottom 25 combined, on both single target and aoe.

The fuck you say ?

The first book is pretty bad, but they do improve, although IMO never above a 3.5 or so. Still decent popcorn action stuff. Despite the urban fantasy setup, I think the narrative arc of these is much closer to a superhero origin story. They certainly make a lot more sense that way. From your...

I am not sure that being unable to drop $500 on it so you can crush newbs is a downside at all, let alone a serious one. Catchup mechanics is a reasonable concern, but there's nothing stopping them giving generous quest rewards from old sets that don't give shards. IIRC Eternal does something...

She was the worst of them though, I am not sure I've seen an actress actually portray wanting someone's dick that bad intentionally ;p

If you add the game to steam, it plays pretty much flawlessly on mobile via steamlink.

Yeah, show seems outright bad. I am not sure it even got a smile out of me over the two episodes, let alone a laugh.

Too late ! After playing a few games on vanilla, I added like 10 different factions. I think I spend more time working out loadouts for ships than I do fighting battles with them heh. The mods for this game are amazingly high quality. I like that a lot of the mod weapons are interesting...

I don't follow your reasoning there - why would you assume AI was efficient at all ? Current "AI" approaches are overwhelmingly inefficient brute force solutions - sure that may change as a prerequisite to strong AI existing but why would it be a requirement ? Cruelty is a human empathy thing...

That's a pretty silly complaint - the wormholes are a fast-transit system - that's like being baffled at the weird coincidence that you took the subway at random and just somehow ended up in an American city.

Given the writers, I watched it expecting something "clever", not really the right term, but an engaging twist. There wasn't any though, it was played pretty much dead straight with no surprises. It's pretty standard horror fare, it was ok*, but it was no Sherlock or Jekyll. *Except the ending...

Starsector is good fun - thanks for the recommendation. I am beyond terrible at it though, I had to reload the tutorial fights and I get total choice paralysis with picking ships and ship builds. Anyone got some newbie suggestions ? ;p

First ep of new season : meh.

Heh.

It wasn't in your face, but they did - all the cars in the show are electric and there's a few quick mentions of it.
