Fun bit: it revolves around the barycenter of the system, which lies just outside of the Sun's surface (thanks to the pull of Jupiter's mass).

It speaks "volumes" for Denuvo that you need to go from 67MB to 369MB...

Runescape. /solidarity!

90% of these korean MMOs have a max shelf life of 2 years. They consolidate every server per region in one after 6-9 months, then they coast until there's not enough sales to pay for the one cluster running on AWS or similar.

I looked at a stream from MMOByte of the beta (creation + first mission). It's a very basic ARPG in 3rd person. Full of flashy animations with 2012 graphics (nice, but just), tiny-ass zones with a wormhole travel-style loading screen (because sci-fi). It's a lobby-based game with your instances...

Macron speaking nationwide today at 8pm. Spoiler alert: France moving to an Italy-style complete shutdown (no going outdoor except for essential services/purchases) by Wednesday morning. (most of my friends suddenly had to run to the stores this midday to get some supplies... raughinprepper.gif)

France just shutdown: no public assembly, no non-essential stores (restaurants, clothing stores, all non-food), etc.

Not strictly "books" per the thread title, but the idea of a shared sci-fi universe built from a... 4CHAN original story dragged me into a black hole of insanity. The subreddit is r/HFY, a shorthand for "Humanity, Fuck Yea!!!". No kidding. The Jenkinverse (Jverse) is a shared universe based on...

This appears to be the case in almost all of his series. Be aware of that if you want to check the rest of his books. He should have dropped the first half, removed 20% of the second half... and then put what I assume will be book 9 in there. The author will probably now work on more classic...

Nvidia hasn't put a game on their service. They've put Steam and a few other storefronts, and they let you play by logging in on those storefronts on your account and installing the game (or using a pre-installed version if there's one already). Nvidia is neither selling nor renting any game -...

Why? You are renting a high-end PC rig to play your own games, why would you need the permission of anyone to play anything? (except it's not your own games. We're in the era of tech feudalism, where you do not own anything, everything is a service rented from your tech lords who have the legal...

For a lot of people, moving in-VR while you are not actually moving IRL quickly causes motion sickness. Warping from place to place negates that. (and no, omni-treadmills like the ones in Ready Player One don't work - your inner ear still doesn't detect you moving)

Not possibly. Definitively. Although the storyline seem to hint at "abnormal" development of the tadpoles. My biggest hopes are that you can somehow turn your entire party into full-fledged Illithids that have retained their original minds (much to the dismay of our Githyanki heroine).

It's supposed to be a side part from the Descent to Avernus campaign.

It's been on the "to-read" folder of my ebook library for a few weeks. Last reads were the first two volumes of David Drake's Time of Heroes, The Spark and The Storm (goodreads still thinks they're separate books). 30 years after his take on the Norse Edda in Northworld (omnibus edition is free...

We all know it's game over once you get hold of Madagascar and Iceland. You can start mutating the deadliness at that point.

Crispy Bat Wings, sir. Page 37.

Yes there is. And it even has intermediate recipes to "craft" stuff to reuse in later recipes. (although some of the recipes are interesting. Not all or many, some) The author has cookbooks for pretty much every fictional universe, though. Elder Scrolls, Star Wars, even Game of Thrones...

I'm not 100% sure it's a tournament FOR reforged. Remember - if you are playing it on an internet connected platform, it actively tries to replace your game .exe with that abomination.

Between that one and the replacing of the original W3 with this version (except without the HD models)...

Boyz is a good pick!!!

Positive evolutionary pressure is a purely technical term, meaning that the frequency of a gene is increasing faster than genetic drift can account for. This almost always indicate that the good aspects of a gene outweigh the bad aspects - in the current environment.

One of the best example is diabetic increase: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2010/08/evolution-may-have-pushed-humans-toward-greater-risk-for-type-1-diabetes-study-shows.html Our modern environment makes diabetes less of a handicap. Therefore, its side benefits are increasing its...

It does. It's just that the scoring isn't much related to the natural world, since more and more of us don't exist in a natural world.

Need to make it more interesting given the price. I mean, Core 2021 comes one week before (or is it after)...

A couple years? They already want it. I'm pretty sure both Activision, Ubi and EA are already building their own streaming service. All of whom will cost you 9.99, meaning nobody will subscribe.

Wrong. It will be the State that produced those guys vs the State that produced those guys. Any society in which eugenics is practiced at the level Dawkins says would work is a totalitarian regime that will not hesitate one second to have the chaingun-armed drones open up fire at the frontier...

With what? We're increasingly restructuring our environment and steadily eliminating "natural" selection pressures. The simple fact is, our survival and reproduction are no longer constrained by natural circumstances, they're constrained by our technology. We lack vitamin B in our rice diet...

People noticed (I did as well) some stuff tearing out of the 1st stage just before re-entry burn. This is the point where it falls off (just next to the left grid fin):

Launch successful, landing... not so successful. You see a nice view of the droneship landing platform, you hear the controller calling out "landing gear deployed" then nothing for 10s... and a small cloud of vapor/smoke coming out from just outside de camera...

239. They had an initial batch of 2 test satellites, but 3 of the first launch failed and have/will soon de-orbit. They're thinking about it, apparently yes. It would gives them a good cash infusion for their other projects, and it probably allows them to bring in Google who had already...

Scrubbed again, rescheduled for Monday.

There's a version of it apparently in Doom Eternal. You can have two players drop as demons on a doomslayer playing normally (if he's checked the box allowing it).

That deals also include them opting out of Nvidia's cloud service (so all of Activision titles are likely to be an exclusive to stadia). And there we are. Before there's even a "netflix" to grow the market for cloud gaming, the market is already splintering into a dozen competing platforms that...

WotC are betting heavily on the future of MtG being digital.

When you go from level X to level X+1, suddenly a mob that is nearly impossible becomes perfectly fine, despite you having gotten a relatively small amount of power? That is not a power curve, that is an artificial power limitation. The devs have decided that you are NOT ALLOWED to do that...

Interesting score: https://www.wowhead.com/news=311133/speedrunning-in-classic-wow-no-invisibility-potions-for-blackwing-lair-and-world 22min to do all of MC. Without the benefit of any gear from beyond.

No, but it needs a minimum of a two-digit M$ to look good. We've spent so much time ridiculing those "amateur games" with their "2000 graphics and animations" that we've proved the point. The real cost of a MMO world like the kind we want it is the art & zones, not the game design. Your...

At this point, NASA has asked for the same in-depth review of the way Boeing operate that they did on SpaceX. When you add the 737Max software woes to the two mission-critical bugs found, it paints a picture of systemic bad practices. (you know it will be found that both dev and Q&A are...
