Zero-sum is synonymous with stagnation.

Hey, you got a free complimentary sat phone, you may as well use it while they try to vacuum thrusters' fumes.

The number of ships visible on the plane view...

Yes. The idea is simple: level 1-10 in a new starter experience, then 10-50 in any single expansion or vanilla, then off to the shadowlands. Their problem with the scaled XP was that people were doing 20-30% of an expansion, then outleveling it and moving to the next, which felt odd. Even worse...

Yes, 11/22/63 was interesting, notably with the various twists.

He knew he'd never make it to NZ anyway, due to COVID. HE KNEW!

The more you're pulling in tricks from collectible sports cards, the more you're going to think of your product as a kind of collectible sports card.

Not unexpected. This looks like a mobile game, so it should be like a mobile game. P2W is expected at that point.

That sounds like an euphemism to me. The PVE crowd will simply say "fuck nodes, where my dungeon" "what do you mean, I need a tier four node for a dungeon? Okay, where did I put my BNet password..."

That almost warrants a specific independent series.

Yea, I consider that one of those "literary exercises" where you push your writing around a specific gimmick, no matter what. Almost every major author ends up doing it at one point, so it's a phase, like teenage rebellion or something. You say "okay", then move on.

He's also taking out less in Wintersteel. Usually, he spends more time on draft 1 because he trims the action a lot while writing, then more on draft 2 because he's cut too much. This time, he simply wrote, which might have gotten us through draft 1 faster.

Wasn't dual classing vs multi classing mostly a race-specific thing? As in some races do dual, some can multi? Or am I misremembering the - much - older editions.

The latest chapter prepares the introduction for the next arc.

Apparently, you can switch nearly immediately to any other covenant you want, but you're locked out of the old covenant until its 10-day cool-down is over. https://www.wowhead.com/news=316825/paul-kubit-on-covenant-swapping-changing-should-be-easy-changing-back-should-be-

Get ready to pirate every AAA game starting next year.

Game price barrier is being broken this year. Games used to cap at 69.95 for almost a decade, because "psychological barrier". First games (some 2K shit yearly sport? NBA? FIFA? Somethingsomething) have started to get to 79.95 this year, and there's already pre-orders for "get it on current...

Don't worry, we may have removed the timers in Thorgast, but we've kept them outdoors!

I'm not sure you are supposed to hate the MC. He's made into a kind of anti-hero, not a villain. He's got his personal morality, and doesn't give a shit. In a way, he's "Han Shot First" to the thousandth power.

Much sadness.

The TL;DW here is: "why, indeed?"

1 death is a tragedy, 150k deaths is a statistic.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Well, there it is. The rest of the trilogy isn't any better.

Second arc is weaker because, well, "good guy" is less interesting than "bad guy".

At these levels, the qualification is mainly being able to attend six meetings in a row without falling asleep, and making a snap decision based on half-baked guesses. Then, if you are right more than 50% of the time, you get promoted up. (just kidding)

Industrial Engineering degree and a BA one as well. Nearly 30 years of NASA climbing the various levels. And she was doing the same job, but just for the non-NASA crew sector before. So, she was probably one of the top candidates in the agency. Being a woman may have clinched the nom, who knows...

I think almost nobody around here is going to understand that one.

He's good, but he's waaaaay toooo looooong wiiiiinded. So yes, his 15 min videos could be done in less than 5, usually.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope. Doesn't matter what kind it is, not looking until it's done.

Any that hasn't realized that it will never release by now will probably never figure it out.

Except most people think Druckmann hated the Joel/Ellie story stuff, and would like nothing more than relegating Ellie to oblivion. Which is probably something...

In Media Res is a well respected storytelling introduction device. Harder to pull off than most, but a classic. Of course, Neil D. couldn't be expected to pull anything like that off, but don't write it out because "it's bad". Like everything, it's bad 90%. Exposition intro are bad 90% of the...

You mean... entering season 8. Right?

I was going "what what?" before I found out what it was referring to. Although I hadn't seen it referred to as a "black neutron star" until BBC. The current theorists are all about it being a light black hole, by the way. Explaining a neutron star of that mass is far more difficult than a...

I'm still waiting for my mod API... (not the shitty beta scripting thing)
