    Dana White's response was funny (Do more than beat up two people with no fights and then come talk to me). I have to imagine that a convincingly mtf transgender fighter becoming world class would be a nightmare for wmma. On one hand if they look like a woman and have similar testosterone levels...

    I imagine it's more nuanced than that, because if you can play offline for extended periods the servers shouldn't be handling a much greater load at cheetah speed. Unless of course the client does less processing when it has a good connection to the server (Which would be a fucking nightmare)...

    wtf. Am I the only one who plays in cheetah speed 80% of the time? I think once we figure out the puzzle that is SimCity's traffic we might go to doublewide plots, but I think for now it's out of our reach.

    I think I'm in the middle of you two. I'd say, "If you're young and dumb and have no financial means be very careful about getting married noob." "If you don't have a lot of money and want to get married, either wait until you have more money or drop your hopes of a big...

    What do you mean by distracting? What about her character's physical state is not supposed to be distracting?

    The way you fix things is by making a new city, lol. Which usually the EA servers take care of for you. I think I was forced to remake my city 7 times last night.

    Yeah I think I'll need 2 or three connections like that. Have you used much dirt roads for the avenues? Some people are using them and like them because they let cars get onto/off of avenues but don't cause intersections. It's not intuitive but from what I've seen there's no acceleration on cars...

    Who here hates Brienne? I like her okay but I guess I have a problem with her physically. A good 'female who competes with men' would have to be much more stout or something. A tall and lanky woman has no place wearing armor and swinging a sword. I feel like she and the actor who now plays the...

    Yeah it should be trivial to cheat in this game. Really makes me wonder what the point of those first to 2.5m pop achievement competitions are. I have to imagine it's not a real competition but just a thing-to-do.

    Another good thing I learned is that the client is able to do most of the city simulation stuff. I'm sure most of the city to city interaction is serverside, but that's much less complex and more easily re-created than bus pathing or RCI demand creation, for example. That means that it'll be...

    It just seems like an example of an ambitious developer team trying to create a novel feature in a game and not being able to make it perfect. Personally I'd prefer if they made the traffic simulation more abstract like it is in previous simcity games, but I can appreciate the attempt to do...

    It works intermittently. This cloud based shit is working about as well as we expected. Personally it's just a matter of time until you either crash from the game and can't load back into your region or server, or your city becomes corrupted. And this is while using a minimal amount of...

    Maybe budos or someone can clarify but if you're looking at long-term efficiency I'd go with whatever gives you the highest chance to get black weapons. That assumes you actually want the black weapons. I know when I played the black widow was by far the best infiltrator weapon.
