    I see this sentiment that DPG is going to swing for the fences on the 25th anniversary, what's this based on?

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I didn't call out anyone, brother! We'll see if DLSS comes with Starfield. I was surprised that AMD is paying companies to not support features, but that list makes that clear. I might buy a PC for Starfield, but I guess if mods provide DLSS it won't matter to me since my Bethesda playthroughs...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    In oblivion i had a modded trophy room filled with thousands of gems. In Skyrim anytime more than a few hundred gems were present near the player the game would crash. I tried for hours to mod the gems model so it wouldn't crash but never could.

    Just invested in ten sets of Extras - Weapons & Armor Collection - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 since it's 30% off. I got the ten sets because it's pretty easy to lose them when you die due to an elevator crushing you or being ejected for no...

    Factorio

    I'm an embarrasing 400 hours into my Space Exploration playthrough and the end is no where in sight. Meanwhile here's a time lapse of someone else beating it in 128 hours, which I think is the current record. This guy is trying to get a sub 100 hour speedrun: afaik Vanilla Factorio's best...

    I got a week-long vacation from the EQ forums a few weeks ago for a much more subtle description of that process. But I think the /yell change is good overall even if it is intended to help botters.

    Based on how MS has handled Minecraft, i see this as a good thing for Activision/Blizzard. I hope they send in the bobs and clean house.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    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...

    Fair MTX Models in free to play games

    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.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    @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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Cities Skylines II

    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.

    Cities Skylines II

    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!

    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...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    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...
