    Everquest - Live Servers

    Any raiding scene where the toughest raids in an expansion are beaten the night of release is not a serious raiding game and who wins doesn't matter. Someone here described it as a casual boomer bowling league, and that sounds about right. Ive pushed the idea of hard mode raids and most of the...

    Being overwhelmed is the natural state and won't change. This thread has some good advice on it. Only thing I'll add is something I tell myself everything you're building is shit and will need to be redone. Both because you're going to ignorantly build spaghetti and because upgrades will...

    Unlike the last couple pics, here's something I'm actually quite proud of. The way I send products to my outpost planets is through a rocket with a ton of requester chests in it. They are all contained inside my mega mall that makes most of the buildings. I've got.... 11 outposts right now...

    The Astronomy Thread

    A flat landing site isn't necessary anyway. The Starship is so big it'll just blow an even landing site into the moon on landing.

    Yes, in detail. Here's the last two that talk about one of the planets and is a pretty interesting read. Friday Facts #398 - Fulgora | Factorio Friday Facts #399 - Trash to Treasure | Factorio Space Exploration would be muuuuuch easier if the rockets were cheaper and smaller. The rockets in...

    I... don't understand. You mean we're not supposed to make spaghetti? But seriously, here's the energy 1 factory I just made in space. One thing that's true in Factorio that's 100% true in software development (and probably a lot of engineering) is that even if you try to plan it all out...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah I understand the concept, I'm just worried I'll fuck it up or lose the private key. I might do that with $100 worth of BTC or something.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I bought one bitcoin years ago for ~$600 on Coinbase, mostly just for fun. The higher it gets the more I want to move it off coinbase onto a cold wallet. I don't know what's more likely, that Coinbase blows up and is hacked or I botch my bitcoin transfer / ownership somehow.

    K2 + SE is only fun if you *really* like the core gameplay loop of building factories. Like, you gotta enjoy building endless amounts of unique factories like Rufus Hussey enjoyed slingshots. K2 and SE compound each other because K2 gives you new technologies to build better factories and SE...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Yeah the no-exp on death perk should be removed. It's an outsized benefit for a degenerate gameplay mode.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    As someone who dislikes FTE as a concept and views it as a bandaid for the core problem that the content is too easy and slow to respawn, good. I hope a server with actual contention stresses the idea.

    Warhammer 40k

    Writing an overview for a show without knowing what it's covering is presumptuous. Watch Games Workshop and Henry Cavill convince Amazon to develop a show that doesn't cover the Horus Heresy, Tyranids, Orks or even include the Imperium of Man. They instead opt to cover the noble Thyrrus, with...

    LitRPG

    Yeah I'm halfway through book 1 and am waiting for an expansion of the universe or characters that makes the series compelling. One way I consider fiction stories is looking at the core ideas that the author needed to get out of their mind on paper, and I find myself really enjoying series when...

    Will definitely be interesting to read about how SpaceX will prep for a moon landing of Starship in a few years. I wonder if they'll have a space satellite with some sensing capability identify A+ spots, and then land shit in those spots to pick out an A+++ one. Beyond evenness of terrain, soil...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'm not in love with it, but it's a refreshing change of pace from the very overt storytelling in most games where the player is constantly reminded in the plainest terms what the lore is and how the quest they're on is involved with it.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Elden Ring makes sense as a story about a cosmic power struggle in the same way this painting portrays temporal decay. Or something.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    No, you're definitely in the majority. I bet fewer than 1% of people who beat Elden Ring could cogently explain the story, and I'm definitely in that 99%. It's like everything else in From soft's souls games, if you want lore you have to either earn it or watch youtube videos to figure it out...

    Rendering judgement upon an Elden Ring DLC's story after watching a trailer is pretty foolish.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    First, who specifically is complaining about the game being too easy? Second, because this community (and many others) enjoy breaking games, and some of us enjoy when a game all but requires it to be broken to be beaten.

    Trailer is A+++. I went from not thinking about elden ring in a year to wanting to day 1 this game. I'm thinking about rolling a fresh character for the DLC. Not sure if I want to roll one on DLC release, roll before, or wait until it's been out for a bit to play. Whatever I do I'll probably...

    Help, people good at math!

    That's one of the fun things about math. More so than a lot of fields, people understand mathematic ideas with wildly different approaches. And in some cases a preferred approach for someone is much more complex. And some people understand concepts at a deeper, more connected level where...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I've always thought of parry as being something of a uhm, showboating move. In most cases to parry effectively you have to really know the moveset of the mob you're facing so you can effectively parry during the window and at the right times. This becomes an investment that pays off in that you...
