Of course they don't. There might be a couple senators or congressmen that are genuinely interested in the advancement of the United States in general, but the election process is an evolutionary process that breeds one basic kind of people. The one that can be elected in their State. Their...

They kept harping on how good that spell effect engineer was. Of course they went overboard with it.

That's a basic staple for WoW/D3/etc. Exploit fast, exploit early, for tomorrow you'll be sorry.

Yea, but what can you do when those people have the strings of the purse: https://spacenews.com/house-members-criticize-nasa-lunar-lander-awards/

They're also called Boeing.

Cuts down on support cost (which is a big metric in modern Blizzard). You can't spend time with support if support is told to not discuss with you. The handful of cases where RMT did not happen aren't worth the cost these days, as they no longer really care about reputation.

Well, given the insane costs of SLS, they better. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/05/nasa-will-pay-a-staggering-146-million-for-each-sls-rocket-engine/

Some of the systems in those books are awesome. They would need a minimum of two decades and a hundred people to balance, let alone design, but they're awesome.

No, but not every studio gets a Jason Schreier horror story in Kotaku about it (before he went away).

Happens all the time on long-lived series. *cough* Wheel of Time. What makes a long series worth it is the characters and their lives.

Dedication was already posted, but there's another reference in the blooper section: I think anything by Will is probably worth reading.

Threadbare makes me think about the recently posted recommendation list on Reddit: Having read a lot of those, I have to agree with the picks. There's still a lot to read in there, but if anyone is looking into a dive into LitRPG, this is it.

My very first trade ever, on the day of discovering that Magic game that everyone seemed to be excited about in Paris. Game store was out of starters, didn't had any rulebook or stuff, just a vague idea. And only a couple boosters ("no more than 5 per person, please"). So I traded this volcanic...

Quite a lot of the reactions seem to be less about who is going it, and more about what is being done. To paraphrase a reaction video: "With uncharted's amount of cutscenes, I thought the lead dev of ND wanted to do movies. Now, I think he wants to do snuff movies."

I wonder if HBO knew about the sequel when they greenlighted the show...

To be honest, being consistent when your story goes is extremely hard. As the ad on YouTube for Masterclass goes, Neil Gaiman explains it all: "The art of the second draft is to make it seem it was your plan all along." And when you realize the kickass story you want to write flies in the face...

Spoilage alert: you do not get all of this until, what, the third book? This is basically the story of a wager between a computer repairman-cum-MMORPG gamer that makes a deal with an Evil God's head minion. Evil minion says they need help, he fits the bill, and tells him that he'll be working...

Alston Sleet writes well. I still wish he'd make a sequel to Age of Victoria, but that book apparently tanked on Amazon and barely made back the money.

To be honest, it is really hard to make professions worthwhile in a MMO. The only way your products sell is if it is hard to make them: Either it is hard to raise the skill (at least to the "worth it" point) Or it is hard to get the proper recipes (the one that will interest people) Or it is...

Rank 12 legendary? (says the guy who stopped playing a year ago)

Oh, wait? You mean that this Vanstuff kernel thing is an optional install that people can pick or reject independently of the game itself???

The thing is, GPU drivers require kernel-level access to even function and provide the functionality you are looking for, which is: display stuff. And they are optimized for the service. The Vanthingy drivers decided to use kernel-level access because it made them immune to anything, and...

I've always loved that term. Well, I did not when Y2K rolled out, and my favorite restaurant's chef found out that there was more money to be made by polishing COBOL turds developed 20 years before when he was younger as opposed to making some of the best french cuisine around. But in the...

If you have ever worked in any large organization that uses "legacy software", you will find that you are never able to afford the redesign of your software. The only major redesigns are always in commodity software - that is, software that is used by multiple customers. For internally-developed...

In the case of SpaceX... it IS the lowest bidder...

That's the position of about 98% of all specialty software ever developed.

So you hope. And then you discover seven separate grinds, five of which are mandatory for any serious raiding, and only four for flying.

I was expecting more shenanigans with Snack and Shiny in their new "context", to be honest. But it does wrap up the main story. Wait, where's Minic?

Wait what? It actually ends? I have to see - ok, read - that!

Necrodancer. The only class whose pets stay in OR out of zones to soak appropriately.

...fall? It's a mountain pass, after all.

Can't think of anything else...

Not everyone can be a Star Citizen Online and roll in crowdfunding forever (although Pantheon makes a good run for it)...

Seriously? Kaijus?

Sounds like you're a potential customer for Elon's 80$ satellite 25ms latency miracle (he's just requested a FCC license for 1M terminals to deploy in the USA).

39.99€/Month for unlimited fiber is basically the standard around here.

What's a data cap? Something in 3rd world countries? No data caps in EU (unless you're using mobile 4G that is).

We're talking about the solar system, not a specific planet. Even the SUN itself moves around that point. Incidentally, that's how we detect some exoplanets: we measure the orbit of their star around the system's stable center, and deduce the presence of some of those (that only works for...
