It's even better when the company that manages your car security fires one of its employees, and the pissed guy sits at the computer and starts disabling every single car in alphabetical order.

Time to bump this back to first page. So, another author which I recommended heartily (I think) on the old site is Charles Stross. Main series is the Laundry Files which is the "computer geek is recruited by civil service to deal with lovecraftian stuff for her Majesty's Govt". Math is the...

Given the hilarious consequences if you have a Roomba and a pet that decides to shit on your floor, it needs a slight improvement in technology. I can picture human driving being forbidden on public roads if the statistics ever hit the point where "99 of the 121 road deaths last year were...

Had the same message, but it let me thru.

Team Valor all the way, man.

I was only doing invasions to get the staff to drop for xmog. Then I found out it wasn't included in live, which pretty much ended this pre-invasion stuff (since I have everything I want, plus a handful of pets, because unnecessary invasions).

Not to mention that they've already prepared that arc (when she meets Fred Johnson and tell him she'll need him to find someone later, book readers know what it's all about).

Although they probably underestimated the time eaten by helping production; they were publishing one book every year in June... except that this year, Amazon says it's pushed back to December...

It's not the first time, there's no Baleful off-hand, or similar stuff. It's like someone at Blizzard has a specific blindness about 1H requiring "something" in the off-hand.

I think the missing factor in those DPS calcs is your pokemon's ATK (which you can't see, only the overall CP). I'm not an expert, but the ATK (vs DEF?) modifies those dps moves. So the question is, how much Pidgeot's CP vs Electrabuzz's CP? If your Pidgeot is 500 cp behind, having the best...

Don't open the crates until you're 100 (or your inventory and bank overflows). That way, you get insta ilvl 700 gear.

Tokens are region-wide. Same price on every server on the area (NA or maybe just east/west coast, but I think NA).

Well, last thing I looked, Earth is rotating around Sagittarius A Black Hole so anything around here is not in Earth orbit.

Didn't think about that, but yea, I've seen that. I was also next to a red gym that was going down in rep. Gym goes grey, then back to red (duh?), I immediately put my Snorlax in it. The group next to me was "DAMN, A SNORLAX NOW!". Was tempted to smirk. (need more snorlax candy, it's...

Decision trees are stupid. They're barely better than fully scripted behavior. In term on content creation, they don't give you any manpower benefit over basic scripting. No wonder they didn't get purchased. A middleware "The Sims" simulation would be good stuff. A middleware decision tree is meh.

There's a lot of eggs here (Paris, France). The senate park has at least 2 or 3 of them up at any time, and a lot of spots pop them regularly. I don't even hunt for them, and have 140 candy waiting for one or two high IV one to pop with good moveset once evolved. There's been a Snorlax popping...

That's exactly the point. You get flying when you no longer need it, as a bonus for your alts who might make a use of it.

They also nerfed follower XP, making it even more painful to setup. (followers used to get 10% of XP if they were in a mission 3+ levels above them, making a level 100 mission with 10k bonus xp a good quickstart for the early levels. No longer, you need to run 200xp missions with 70% chance of...

The way I saw Storybricks initially was basically a lot of words to describe basically The Sims. Each NPC would have a list of "needs bars" which would fill or empty, based on actions by the NPC or the players, and a "personality" which basically told it how fast/slow the bars could fill based...

It's a bit older, but David Graeber's "Debt - The first 5000 years" is very good to see how we came around the concept of money, and why the idea that "debt must be repaid" is a cunning fabrication that does a lot of damage to society.

Yep. Meaning no dagger skin for me, because apparently, it drops only for rogues even if you can use on a caster dagger...

Are the invasion weapons different looks from the scenario ones? Because I'm going to probably get those looks using the scenarios rather than rely on random drops...

At the moment, you only have two zones active at any time. I assume that they're going to move to 3 this weekend, 4 next Wednesday, 5 next weekend, and the last week is going every zone round the clock.

Full xmog set, cape, pet, and that's done. No need for anything else.

Except that, if they do that, after clicking off those ads 2-3 times, I'll click off the app, and never look at it again. It's not the correct advertising. It's the old model of spam advertising, except with a limited range. You want the future of Pokemon Go business? QRCode scans. Your...

Niantic uses Google's "use" maps. They spawn pokemon according to how many people use their phones while stationary (to avoid having extra densities on commuter roads where there are lots of people with phones, but they're not actively using them and they're moving). Did you think they...

The problem is that glyphs don't scale. For any other profession, when you add 10 levels and 150 ilvl, you just churn out a new set of armor/weapons, or a new range of consumables, and that's done. But for inscription, you need a new set of skills to inscribe... and their design drops as many...

No pokemon reduction visible during my lunch break walk. Got about the same amount, and the usual regular spawns were there. The guy who was walking with me missed about 10-15% of them, though. I mean, we were next to the pokemon, and even waiting for 30s would net no pokemon for him (usually...

Now, we know how Pokemon Go spawns its common trash:

New version on beta test in San Francisco. That's the tracker we were waiting for: Basically, the tracker will work like this: for nearby pokemon, it shows the picture of the nearest Pokestop/Gym. Click on the pokestop and it shows it on your map: The creators of Pokémon Go are testing...

After watching BvS and SQ, I'm downgrading all WB movies from "going to see when they come out" to "wait for the reviews before I make a decision". Regardless of the trailers.

Snorlax is retardedly overpowered. It's type and move combinations make it that there's no real good pokemon against him; you'd need a Steel with Fighting moves as the optimal guy, and there's none, so you have to pick someone strong against him (fighting moves) or hope to have a type that is...

I think their server architecture didn't scale correctly, and they're trying to redesign stuff (which will take longer than fixing bugs). There's basically 4 "service" components: - Pokestops/Arenas, which are static, easily grouped and sorted, and thus scale well - Km tracking, which is...

Essentially that. After a while, it degenerates into scratching your completist itch, but new content is usually fun for a while. Its repeatbility has dropped, however; it used to be that most of the first zone was original story lines between Alliance and Horde, and a good part of the other...

1500 LY away. Can't expect the results soon. Btw, this dim-out resurrects the first dim-out paper. An astronomer did a study using old Harvard photographic plates and concluded to a dimming of close to 20% over a century. People looked at the paper, and found lots of holes, and essentially said...

Those reviews are essentially correct. At some points, I was thinking "did they forget to cast Katana and just let the stunt double do the job?"

IV is the percentage your base stats have between worst and best possible for a given pokemon level. Suppose you have a Pokemon and fed him candy/dust until his half-circle is maxed. It will have say, 750cp and 70 hp. Pick another pokemon of the same species and max the half-circle, and find...

Size matters

When Pokemon... catch people!
