    It seems crazy to go from terminal velocity to landing in like, 10 lengths of the rocket.

    Guild Wars 2

    Quick update for my Guild Wars 2 blog (this thread): I've got my skyscale, roller beetle, griffon mounts and am now working on filling out my ascended gear, leveling my fractal level and started working on my first legendary, Aurora. I'm a bit intimidated by all the shit you gotta do for a...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    The only ME4 I'd want to play is one where you play as a faction of Geth whose goal is to wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy and then turn off. I really don't have it in me to play 30 minutes of duck and cover shooting followed by an hour of playing therapist to a bunch of losers.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Sure, but instead of scalpers using bots to outwork consumers to pay NVIDIA/BestBuy/Newegg/Whomever $700 for an RTX3080 to resell it for $1300, they'll use bots (???) to pay NVIDIA et all $1300 and resale it for hopefully somewhere north of that. The return policy question is irrelevant because...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Work through the process: If NVIDIA auctions graphics cards at regular intervals or Apple auctions iphones or Nike auctions shoes, who exactly is going to supply the market for another auction with the goods at higher prices?

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Yep. Better than what we have. At least the people getting the $$$ actually contribute to the tech.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    A public auction for thousands or millions of similar, new units is very different from dudes going to police civil forfeiture auctions, buying some random cars, having them professionally detailed and selling them to people.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I've got no beef with scalpers. But the sooner companies with limited releases start auctioning their high-demand gear the better. More $$$ for companies who develop tech people want and no reason to have scalpers.

    Unless you're embedded deeply within the SpaceX team working on this particular flight you've got no idea how many things went wrong. Presuming that the only thing that went wrong is the primary problem that caused the RUD is naive. A big part of rapid prototyping isn't just building something...

    Very cool, they didn't spin out of control during the belly flop which is great. I'm betting there are something like 30 things that went wrong during the flight and they'll fix many of them for the next one.

    5% chance that things belly flop lands successfully. And that's ok.

    Who do you rely the most on for game reviews?

    If I'm searching for games to play rather than awaiting a release I'll typically use the average scores on steam, metacritic, whatever. Then I'll watch a video of gameplay to decide. I don't ever watch reviews.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    All they have to do to keep us try-hards interested is just boost the shit outta some raids and group encounters as a hard mode and add some long dumbass grind like the evolving gear. Without those things, EQ has no end-game. It wouldn't even be hard, I mean, we're not asking them to fix pet...

    Yeah the way to find decent mods is by recent popularity. But steam workshop just feels like a poor man's nexus mods.

    Yeah I don't know how you could beat the Black AQ mount. It represents a massive amount of coordinated effort from an entire focused into one individual who has, for whatever reason, been chosen for the honor of having that mount. In my guild's case the person was one of the star players and a...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    So cyberpunk seems to be the most anticipated singleplayer rpg since skyrim, more than witcher3. What's the big brain move here, play it at release and enjoy the release day excitement or wait until next year when the inevitable patches put the game in working order?

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Who knows. I'd be curious to know how they've run their other franchises. The biggest alert of whether they want to just use it as a cash cow until selling it off again is if they put out job postings and advertise. A game like EQ can't be effectively maintained with the crew they have, but it...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Yeah I call shenanigans on all of that. I'm sure some autists have pieced together the number of active players in the game, and I bet that there are only a thousand that play every day with a bunch of people watching the game casually and jumping in every few patches to laugh and quit...

    One of the fun things I did in WoW was push and help my mount collector buddy to collect more mounts. This was before any MTX mounts, but it was fun for him just to collect them and be able to cycle through the super rare ones. What's funny about the mount epeen game is I spent exactly zero...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I think it's all bullshit, it's privately funded and the current crowd source numbers are pretend to keep the farce afloat. I just don't buy that there are that many whales who haven't moved on and new players who are buying in.

    totally agree, but I recently read about the advantages of having a steel construction and a few other things that differentiate Starship from the Space Shuttle and it's pretty well thought out. The TLDR is the space shuttle's aluminum construction + complex geometry + tile attachment mechanism...

    Guild Wars 2

    So I'm noticing in quite a few events there will be a massive outlier for DPS on bosses where everyone generally focuses on one mob. In this case the Claw of Jormag: Now I'm trying as hard as I can and am pretty happy to get 14k DPS, but how is it possible that in a raid full of people one guy...

    Also @Chukzombi I don't know shit about comic books or the different parallel universes that are published in multiple mediums but I searched for a captain marvel 2020 and found this which seems like it was publsihed recently. I can only imagine how pissed I'd be if I was some comic book...

    What the hell is that monstrosity? I don't really like Captain Marvel and didn't like the movie, but wasting a few minutes looking up art for Captain Marvel this isn't half bad. But the pic you posted? Looks like someone melted the face of a low-budget transexual cosplaying as Karl Denvers.

    the lamps are cool but nobody believes anything you say, especially since you've stated up front you won't provide any proof of anything.
