He's no flunky of the Emperor, though. He now has more money than Bezos: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/07/elon-musk-is-now-the-richest-person-in-the-world-passing-jeff-bezos-.html (oh, the two richest men in the world are both Space Geeks! Get them to work together, dammit!)

... made in China.

"It's a small indie company, give them a break..." https://www.wowhead.com/news=320333/placeholder-anima-powers-in-torghast-cripples-twisting-corridor-runs TL;DR: Several classes still have Placeholder anima powers in Thorgast (that is: none), which is becoming a massive issue when you need to...

If you look at the stats, then no. There are more people dying at 50 from heart attacks than at 40, and less than at 60. It's just that 40 is the age at which heart attacks begin "in earnest". Evolution stops caring very much about your heart after you've finished having babies.

Yes, I think in chapter 4, the two guards who welcome the Flatts to Spur (back when they are still not understanding the language) are commenting about the fact that he ogles both of them equally:

Incanis are proto-demons; horns, blue to red skin shades, and weird eyes, if I remember right. Orcols are green-skinned ultra-tall top-models. With tiny fangs.

Don't worry, Magnus will save us!

Well, the author is taking a small vacation - posting is suspended until next year :)

Case in point: the epilogue of the Mandalorian. (it's still rough, I admit)

One of my friends has basically given up on getting any refund on that one. Despite the strong protections that EU gives you, it's been close to impossible to get any form of refund for a few years, once it became apparent on how much of a scam it was.

Ah. Forget some parts of the world don't have fiber and 10Mbyte per second downloads. (seriously, that's the deciding factor when I hit retirement. I'd love to go countryside, but fuck if my speed goes below at least 50Mbps)

With your feet?

Pre-order? Never pre-order anything. I know they are all trying to scam you into pre-ordering based on exclusive cosmetic rewards and whatnot, but resist. The only time you should pre-order something is the day before launch, after the final reviews are coming out. Unless it's Cyberpunk 2077...

That's basically the promise of 3D immersive gaming. Which will not be Star Citizen. ... Probably?

I'm soooo behind on Wandering Inn, I'm not even sure I'll figure this one out. I think I did the technocrat starship hijack "while in the Eternity Tower" months ago? Unless he does it again? (I'm only splurging the updates every now and then) We get a proper Apocalypse coming. With Jason as...

It's an old game as well...

Thorgast was the only redeeming feature of Shadowlands - everything was pretty much "more of the same". I could already see the writing on the wall when they introduced all those control-freak features like Torments and stuff. There was no way they were ever going to let Thorgast go into truly...

Wait, it's not this guy??? Shame

Strictly speaking, it wouldn't work. As we've seen, people create their own mythologies if your culture fails to provide and enforce one. As said, if you could teach three thing 6000 years ago: - Writing (we're in the era of proto-elamite and similar pre-written era), the importance of...

That's one of the things I always love when I show someone "that's a cherub" "WTFFFF?" "Why? It has the required four heads... Why, you thought those were little babies with dove wings?"

Hey, don't diss Star Wars fantasies, will you? :)

TLP = Time-Locked Progression (aka the servers Daybreak start with expansion locked every year to get the nostalgia going and the krono flowing)

You mean, it's being unmade right now?

Who knows. Given how asinine their business model, and how weird their technical system is (the reason why there are so few Stadia games? Each game has to be ported over to Linux, since that's what Stadia runs onto)... they might simply haven't even factored this into their financials risks yet...

Hadn't realized that it's Elon on the front of the picture... (needed to see the tweet)

Who is going to purchase a game (at full price, I'm assuming) on a Google service that has a 50% chance of being cancelled within 3 years of its launch?

The five green selection circles, well-ordered party, and top-down perspective suggest some classical RPG instead?

Only two did relight. You see it more clearly on slow-mo, but engine 42 (rofl) didn't light up for the landing and gimballed to the side to let the other two work.

Scott Manley (who made a quick appearance on LabPadre permanent cam at Boca Chica) dissected the entire flight, if you're interested: TL;DW: The rockets shutting one after the other are because the SN8 was reaching maximum intended speed (first), then maximum altitude (second). And Scott nailed...

and that's after some dumbass brough his cessna in the middle of the exclusion zone, causing everything to freeze. (source: LabPadre cam)

A Tessaract, since that's 4 dimensions!

Aaaaand one more "their/they": https://www.wowhead.com/news=319718/classic-quest-giver-heralath-fallowbrook-found-in-ardenweald *EDIT* Apparently a possible error due to a default voice being used. But the immediate neutering from Wowhead remains funny.

Define "indie studio". Because there is a difference between a 8-man, kickstartered band of nerds trying to make a game, and some of those small studios that have 40 people working with serious funding. Both are indie devs, but the qualitative difference will be day and night. Can the latter...

Also, as said before, they do have TBC code and data, unlike vanilla which had to be reconstructed. I am assuming they are going to need to adapt server code for the more modern framework they're using (including layering). But that's much, much easier than rebuilding old-school WoW 1.x from...

The mechanic rewarding for not killing stuff cracks me up...

Yes. It's too early to announce WoW 10.x, there's no SC4 or anything else visible on the horizon. Some D3 schedule news, but nothing else. Classic BC is the only strong possibility I see for an announce. There might be a surprise announce on something out of the left field, like "Warcraft 4!!!"...

Except that genetics don't match that. While the amerindian's closest genetic relatives today may look to be european ones - or more specifically, some finnic populations - those populations did not exist at the time speculated for that migration. The siberian ancestral population that admixed...

Genetically speaking, almost all Amerindians are closely related to archaic Siberian populations, meaning their ancestors definitively came from there... ... except for a very small handful of south central America that have some significant southern Asian affinity, indicating that there's a...

Game has the worst advert ever (at least in French). Basically, goes "Typhon has risen. If she fails, the world will fall..." And you're wait? I thought this was about someone named Fenyx or something? That's Typhon now??? (because as it's worded, it looks that it's if Typhon that fails...)

Because basically, each expansion is a new game, designed independently from each other. It's not World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, it's actually World of Warcraft 9: Into the Shadowlands. It probably begins with a general session "okay, what do we include in this sequel?" (even if the word sequel...
