"Got better helm than your shit, ilvl too low"

Brack has about the charisma of an unbaked potato compared to Morhaime...

And Brack is apologizing for China already...

Dev panels will be free on blizzcon.com

Fuck, even if I'm not going to play Blizzard games again probably, I'm still on the streaming page...

Saw one review that basically said "masturbatory scifi concepts plus boring gameplay plus awesome outdoors". Basically, you've got life and death mixed, the spirits of the dead trigger a nuclear detonation if they find someone who just died. And they got oil zombies that try to kill you so they...

Couldn't figure a better thread, so here it is. This is the future of our games' animations:

You know, doing a Diablo version of Dungeon Keeper would be... something very good. Which means it's never happening, of course.

Rofl: TL;DW: The prize pool for the PvP and PvE finals at Blizzcon is... entirely from the sales of in-game pets. Blizzard implied they would put $250,000 and then you'd have 25% of your special pet/mounts added. What they really meant is that all of the prize pool would come from store sale...

Except that Shadowlands (99% sure) has been designed a year ago, all of its grind-daily mechanics have been planned before Classic launched, and Blizzard can't turn around on a 500$ dollar bill (never mind a dime), so you'll have all the new "interesting" mechanics. I mean, that's the people...

Is he? I thought his soul was obliterated during WotLK? Or am I remembering wrong?

Hmmm, what happened about "We removed Reforging because we did not want you to get a piece of gear and it would be useless until you came back to town"??? Gee...

I was laughing half the time because of how over the top it goes. It's very obviously a challenge he set himself: "how deep (pun intended) can I go". That's what makes it a classic. You need to like the very raw humor. It goes worse before it ends. After a while, he pretty much stopped the real...

Given the number of satellites launched, he probably had like 4mn "RIGHT NOW, GO GO GO!" to post.

They were anticipating too many "What's your position on HK?" questions.

Blizzcon schedule finally posted. No mystery, there's 6 "Coming soon!" panels, which means WoW xpac, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 x 2 panels each. And apparently most of them are going to be free of charge for streaming. (they know that the only people purchasing the stream do it for the in-game...

Yes, but now that he's publishing book 2, he'll have to take down all but 10% of it. That's why you find only the first 22 chapters of book 1, then it goes straight to book 2.

Once you hit Kindle Unlimited, no more than 10% of your book may be available in electronic form anywhere. (so once he publishes, he'll take down all the chapters save the beginning)

Saw that before heading to management training. Need to finish before the KU curse hits the book.

By the way, book 3 comes out Apr 16, 2020. That's... a loooooong time.

15 years later, everyone knows about that quest, and how expensive epic mounts are in general.

Told you. It was Blizzard China's decision (that is, Tencent). The HQ only discovered the fiasco after the fact.

Alastair Reynolds is good at "Hard SF".

"All it takes is one." One person per million is willing to do that? That's more than enough for your 1k colony.

Oh, and by the way, there's a brand new LitRPG store on Amazon, since Amazon doesn't have a litrpg/rpg adjacent category: https://amazon.com/litrpg Authors are only starting to get registered there (you need to ask for inclusion), but it's already covering a decent slice of the genre's books.

It's not litrpg at all, but people tend to associate it with it since it comes from the same russian writers. My biggest peeve is... There's less than HALF OF IT translated yet! That's when I think I should re-learn my russian to read all of it without waiting! Yep, The Land is an Isekai...

At one point they were going (are going) to introduce Fortnite in China. That's why they came into Epic. It ran into issues and is still banned, but from Sweeney's perspective, he has remotr potential but not actual revenue to lose and a guy who already gave him money, and will have to find...

Woops. Bah, it's physics. My physic teacher stopped once in the middle of some demonstration, then said, "ok, 1/2 is totally negligible compared to 1, so..."

If you have problems with dialogue, then don't. Have your characters do quick exchanges of three, four, half a dozen sentences, and move on to action instead. Everyone has problem writing at one point. Everyone except hack writers get writer's block at one point. But not everyone is a novel...

I've probably read 33% of my books this year in that genre. This one is ok. It had an horrible start, but got re-edited and re-published, which supposedly makes it better. If you like litrpg, there's three grand genres in it: - VRMMO, in which the main character plays a full-immersion MMO...

Internally, this manifests as time dilatation. Accelation = ∆position/time = Force / Mass You can either increase time (time dilation for the subject) or mass (for the observer). You can even reduce ∆position (that's when you get contraction, which is also a relativistic effect) instead.

They can't win. At this point, they are simply betting they will lose less business from the USA than they'd lose from China. Which is the correct and rational decision. All of those AAA companies are the ones that manipulate psychology to push full-price AAA games with more microtransactions...

175g. It's more of a hitlerjugend rather than a full-blown nazi.

The contract is basically boilerplate for "whatever we say, whenever we say, however we say, goes"

A closed spacelike path would probably net the guy the Nobel in physics instead of exoplanet discovery. (for some reason, "time travel" is called spacelike, because that means you can have two parts of the same event occurring at a spatial distance greater than C would normally allow. So...

It's Randi Darren/William D. Arand. He writes erotica with whatever additional stuff he thinks of at the moment. He used to keep different pen names based on the amount of sex scenes, but I think he's dropped the distinction these days. It's one of the best rated Web serials ever, but I...

We had consultants from the UO dev team come at Nevrax to tell us a number of tricks to MMO building. One of the things they told us was that everyone (including Raph) was making things on the go, and basically "designing by the seat of their pants". Most of his ideas got discarded along during...

The problem isn't the repeatable part. The problem is the daily part. Dailies aren't dailies to "pace you" so that you don't consume content faster. They are there to condition you to play every day, which makes the game a regular occurrence (instead of "whenever"), which makes the game a part...

Dailies were the start of the slippery slope. They're the first dose that lead you to having to spend years in rehab. They were the awakening of the Evil that Destroy the World. (fuck those manta-ray flying mounts and nether drakes)

It's still in debate, as the last "pre-biotic" chemical pathways rely on alternating wet/dry environments. You can create RNA bases from scratch using only simple compounds available in an early earth environment, but currently only if you have drying spells during the reactions. About everyone...
