For a company that paid 2 billions for Minecraft?

That's why he resigned to everyone's surprise a week away from SpaceX's launch.

Comet promises double whammy. Kinetic energy wrecking the ecosystem, and if that fails, you get potential toxic volatiles as an additive to the devastation.

French gaming magazine around here is the one with the most "trustworthy" reviews. They might get you a 9/10 or 10/10 every two issue, but anything at 8/10 is good. Half of the reviews end up with 5/10 or sometimes lower - and they get a single page review. And you even get "worthless/10"...

Amen. And if you doubted it, the trading card will dispel that.

REMOVED: *badly executed joke*

In the abstract sense, yes. The story, in principle, could be good - if it was written and delivered differently. But it is not. It's a hack job. It's tone deaf at best for a major part of it, and the "moral lesson" that the writer insisted was as its core is completely inverted from what you...

It's okay. One of my teacher said "it's okay to smash into a lamppost, if that's what you need to learn about those. It's only if you keep smashing into them..."

That's my favorite Great Filter candidate, by the way.

Back when the Drake equation was proposed, everyone was excited about it. Scientists threw all the assumptions they made and got large numbers. You can find Carl Sagan gushing about thousands or even million of civilizations. And then Fermi took a bucket of ice-cold water and drenched...

That's one of the best stories from David Brin: The Crystal Spheres (in which we're sixth, and the fifth came out dozens of million years ago and left the universe because they were bored waiting for us to arise)

That or the filter is ahead... and no civilization survives beyond a few centuries of the existence of Internet.

It's more of the Drake Inequation at this point (this total product must be lower than X...) based on observable non-civilizations.

/solidarity! The study I'm referring to was a monte-carlo simulation based on amount of technological civilizations (either detectable by radio for low-Kardashev numbers or infrared for median... at the time, they didn't account for tabby star-like behaviour for high kardashev, I think).

I haven't kept the link around because it's fucking old by now, but there was an older study that made a curve between number of civilizations and probability of being able to see at least one, and there cut-off was 8 at 50%. Basically, if you had 8 or more civilizations in the galaxy, there...

A lot of them are announced for 2021. Some of the specific hardware optimization for PS5 are probably hard to develop for, although only the Ratchet&Clank game boasted being specifically designed for the fast loading system of the PS5.

Sony: "Any .1 below 10 on this one is fifteen games you will not be allowed to review from now on" Reviewer: "Aye aye"

You are confusing what they should do with what they can do. (or rather, what the overzealous copyright troll lawyer firms they subcontract the running of the automated algorithms used do)

About every game shown was a PS Exclusive - there might have been one that had a later PC port announced, I think?

Either PSN works differently in the EU, or they're one lawsuit away from changing the PSN in Europe then. European consumer laws give you 15 days to cancel any non-physical-store purchases, and "return the goods" for any reason and without a justification.

Can you get refunds on PS stuff like you do on Steam? Although if it was Steam, I suspect that they'd hide the "surprise" after just enough hours that it's too late for the refund policy to work.

That's when you lost all the creed from the PS collection.

Never preorder. Period.

The scores on metacritic seem... very believable.

Which will be censored, because the algorithm didn't notice the special sponsorship. Shit, remember that Sony's DMCA took down... the TLOU2 trailer on Sony's official Playstation account!

Until it gets delayed to 2022. Because it's the James Webb curse. Overruns and delays.

If the Song of Ice and Fire fell into the public domain, we might see an ending.

That's what the patent system is. If it's good for invention of the practical form, why not for inventions of the cultural form? (as an aside, "practical" should have big scary quotes - a vast majority of patents are either obvious stuff or slight rehashing of existing ones. The pharma industry...

For Pantheon?

Redhat is a subsidiary/trademark of IBM.

Fun bit: apparently, ultra-progressive Kotaku ended with "no score given" from their review.

Plus, it doesn't really work. Your legs might be pumping, but your inner ear notices you aren't actually moving. Sounds like an additional conflicting signal sent to your brain and motion sickness inducing.

Money. Given the amount of money necessary these days to produce a quality expansive game, nobody is going to go the MMO route. Any game with significant investment to produce a good quality, you will have transaction filled instanced lobby games, which means there's no need of a great open...

Warning: Book 4 goes into a different direction, with new bad, and end... with a massive WTF cliffhanger. I'm slightly disappointed with the current arc. It feels like the author has lost a bit of his impetus, and is trying to pump out power, showering Jason and team with OP stuff and the like...

So, you liked the original BFA loot where you needed to run until you get the right titanforge, with the good suffix and a socket. Right.

I don't understand why you're making "ships" if you are making a lobby MMO with everything instanced...

We're starting to reach peak greed. Flipping one photoshop layer for another, and calling it a new collector version.

Uh? All the description reminded me of a D3-type gear system more than an EQ one.
