Agree completely. I've definitely noticed the same blandness in online writing that is either ChatGPT or mirrors it stylistically. You generating the Architect text by prompting ChatGPT is a well-timed facet of that though: You can quickly generate content using different styles by prompting it...

I kind of miss the EMDrive drama. Following the retarded theorycrafting at the nasa space flight forum of dumbasses using modeling software to come up with more efficient emdrives was great. It still feels like any kind of non-propellant drive that can't be proven beyond reasonable doubt on...

I prefer any game that allows me to get an edge on other players using my wallet. Why restrict player choice by forcing them to earn stuff in a game they might not even enjoy? For me, the more opportunities I have to trade my EBT allowance for upgrades the better.

@Xevy I won't speak for anyone here but the reason I'm less interested in any game trying to appeal to the woke crowd is: Aligning to any kind of ideology conforms games within predictable boundaries that have been done many times before Many developers that have broken woke have faded into...

What's that list of amd sponsored games and which ones support dlss?

Calling shenanigans on Bethesda taking AMD $$$ to ditch dlss

An earth like planet is pretty lulzy, but I'd be curious if there was any kind of donut shape with any kind of rotational speed, composition, distance to a sun etc that would be stable without requiring a contiguous iron composition or something. Feels like any kind of centrifugal force that...

Sometimes stuff doesn't pop till you complain. I learned to conplain early and often

this is the dude who spent his entire day sitting in a non-combat area asking for groups and is then whining on the forums about how boxers ruined EQ. Meanwhile the boxers logged in on Saturday morning, got their shit done with plenty of time to go outside and touch grass.

I've gotta finish the Space Exploration mod of Factorio before Starfield comes out. Shit is deeeep

These days I think boomer is what you call gen Xers acting like old whiny people.

Banned on EQ forums for posting that DPG GMs protect certain bot groups. DBG mod income mostly comes from botter kronos confirmed.

The intent isn't to create cool images, but instead to do "research", but it's hard for a lay person like myself to understand how this research advances human technology. https://esawebb.org/news/archive/year/2023/ For example, in Webb maps surprisingly large plume jetting from Saturn’s moon...

but seriously I would be more likely to get City Skylines if there was a "tedious mode" where all actions came with some kind of cost. Traffic was slowed down by construction / upkeep, citizens were frustrated by rezoning, building took significant time, rebuilding took even more, etc.

Imagine a builder game where you have a "turn budget" that generates every real-world day based on how much of your city's taxes go to the govt construction budget, but you could buy Builder Bucks (tm) with USD and get extra turns!

Boxer here. Can confirm.

Yep. I can't imagine getting into a new city builder unless it was fundamentally different than what I built decades ago with SimCity 2000. Biggest things I'd want is: 1. Multiplayer, either where my city could interact with another person's city, compete in some indirect way, or we could...

Note that the Raptor has a diameter of 1.3m. The RD-170 is 3.8m, no idea about the RD-171. The thrust to weight ratio of the Raptor is 143 and RD-171 is 84.84. They cram some 33 of these on their booster. http://www.astronautix.com/r/rd-171.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Raptor I...

It's definitely exploiting and Oakwynd will definitely be worse when the sweaty players get bored and those exploits stop happening.

I'm guessing the data stops at different times for all the areas, I don't know why they would stop at USA in 2010. Even if the literacy was relatively saturated there is still a lot of study on basic literacy on the USA to draw from. I'd be interested in another chart showing higher-levels of...

https://purehost.bath.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/187892330/publisher-id from 2017, not sure if that was what the tweet was about anyway that paper is retarded

My conspiracy theory is that they are both spending much less $$$ than they claim and are receiving private investment to keep the dream afloat. There just isn't enough interest in the game to support the stats they publish. I don't have any data or experience to support the theory. I don't...

If it makes you feel better I'm pretty sure those funding numbers are fabricated.

The factory must grow. https://www.freethink.com/space/first-space-factory

Unreal 5 jump and blueprints looks really great.

No, but it's a lot easier. 65 to 90 k. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/McDonald-s-Manager-San-Diego-Salaries-EJI_IE432.0,10_KO11,18_IL.19,28_IM758.htm

That's why I try not to be too critical of EQ devs.

I'd be proud of Bethesda if Starfisld had the character depth to have awkward lqbtq interactions. Typically the characters are too shallow for that and only have enough depth to move the plot forward.

I think there's just an immense cost to photorealistic humans that the industry hasn't commoditized yet. You see these really impressive demos Then you see an Unreal game where the human looks like, well, the default model in a sports game. Humans are really good at perceiving issues...

The annoying thing is that EQ is ripe for a huge overall in their guide system, which should be the purview of a community manager. I don't think they have any interest in that though.

I literally don't know what the role is for the CMs in DPG. As far as I can tell their scope is to put out tone-deaf messages once a month, post patch notes and blithely respond to reports. Maybe they're active in a lot of games but it feels like about ~4 hours of work a week.

I want to be mean and call you a negative nancy trying to rain my hype parade but tbh Gamebryo is broke and old and Bethesda should've done something with the 50 years since Skyrim's release to put it out to pasture finally. Imagine a world where Bethesda ditched Gamebryo, built a new Creation...

What's the motivation to have OW earning slower than DZs? Seems like it shoudl be the inverse, no?

Gotta imagine the number of people willing to wake up at 3AM to kill OW content on an ez-mode casual server is pretty low.

As an aside, I would support a forum feature that would integrate the literacy test results from the PIAAC into the forum and show a badge (or armband) in a poster's profile. https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/piaac/measure.asp?section=1&sub_section=3 I'd wager that a good chunk of the morons that...

counterpoint:

Loved the book. Didn't read the martian. I think creating a great movie from the book is a pretty easy alley oop, will probably watch it.
