    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Seasonal servers like other games have are kinda hard because of the absolute massive amount of content from classic to live. I don't really know how you'd do it without cannibalizing each server or making the pace so fast that players spend inordinate amounts of time dealing with the changes...

    Yeah. I gotta imagine there is so much SpaceX garbage for Starship / Super Heavy booster that anything out there right now will probably of limited value. Even parts of the Starship / booster itself. The boosters that participate in Artemis missions could get $$$. But some rando car damaged in...

    I think this is one case where they really should state their reasoning behind the change.

    Yeah. I stressed it a bit a few weeks ago about something I was working on related to suspension dynamics in vehicles. At a surface level it described things just fine, but when I started getting into details it just started making up bullshit soft-body physics word-salads that would be...

    Yeah but if you're a layman, double checking stuff may be beyond you. In this case it got the # wrong I think. I don't have the legal knowledge to say it got the rest of it correct, but trust the tweets that say it was close enough. Colorado Revised Statutes | Article 21.5 - SELF-SERVICE...

    Gotta take brass balls to actually live that as a small business owner and law layman. Imagine generating chatgpt legal documents, selling a tenants stuff to save a few hundred $$$ and then getting sued for tens of thousands in because the tenant had a world-class Pinky and the Brain memorabilia...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    As a concept, competing for mobs is great in a game designed for PvP. EQ is not that. Top-tier groups pulling dirty tricks against each other in EQ by training eachother, using showeq, SWATing each others, sniping streams, whatever, gets meta and is kinda fun, emergent gameplay. But for most TLP...

    The owner is probably having some awkward conversations right now, but there's also a bajillion dollars of more sensitive infrastructure closer to the blast zone. The dude's car is pretty minor compared to what they need to repair.

    I'm just a layman but doesn't it seem weird to build so much stuff that gets BTFO during launch? If you're launching these things every few days, how can those nearby structures not get distintegrated?

    I wonder what kind of stresses were applied to the structure during the flips and whether the kaboom was an intentional detonation or result of structural instability from being spun around. I also wonder if absorbing that kind of stress for that long would be feasible in a traditional aluminum...

    They're actually redoing the UI engine right now, biggest feature is supporting 4k monitors. I wouldn't let a shitty UI block you from playing though, since I doubt it'll get thaaat much better in the next few months. Test Update 03/21/2023 - Discussion | EverQuest Forums To answer your...

    This is super cool, but there's a few problems with this. First being, well, us gamers. Second being that "improve the lag" just isn't going to get that much better. There's a tremendous amount of calculations that happen between the prompt and response. Streaming the prompt, pre-canning the...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    FTE aside, the legacy parts are kinda confusing. The two big ones, making AoCs character locked and making items heirloom seem like QOL changes more than an experimental ruleset. But the focus on them for this TLP seems like it's intended to cut down on people having multiple subscriptions...

    This is kind of a unique situation because they're only using what are probably very simple 3D models to generate sprites. I'm also calling shenanigans on this. Or maybe there are midjourney features I'm not aware of. Even when doing what he's talking about and creating sprites, Midjourney...

    I'm sure this has been disseminated before, but in this interview Musk said the biggest reason there's a gap between Starship flights is they had to redesign the Raptor engine. I don't understand the details but everything I read about the Raptor makes me think it's "very cool". The way they mix...

    Classic leveling strat as a rogue: find someone to carry you. I like leveling a druid first or early on whatever account and using them for ports, powerleveling, whatever for other chars. Easy to level that rogue when you've got a pocket druid handing out damage shields, heals, sow etc etc.

    Sure, marshlands across the globe are important, but the amount of concern given to this shithole of a launch site environment is totally disingenuous.

    But seriously, the concept of boring into the ground and then utilizing the excavated material to build upwards with is pretty interesting. It's a huge part of Musk's Mars ambitions that's being worked on in in the Boring Company. I keep tabs on that effort and while it's not as dramatic as...

    Better yet, make a time machine and then come back with posts of people saying, "Wow, they really did a great job policing the many ways FTE can be exploited.", because that's literally the only way I'd believe it. If they can't bust people for 3+ boxing in Aradune, they aren't doing shit for FTE.

    From what I'm reading they're not trying to practice the Starship landing on the water, I wonder why? I also wonder how close the Booster will land to the launch site. I wonder why they aren't landing it on the ground somewhere they don't mind blowing up. The idea that there are environmental...
