    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Depending on how much practical props and sets are required (especially considering higher construction material prices) and how much CGI is pumped into this, that isn't too much out of line with a major blockbuster movie. It's still a fuckton of money, though.

    That's great and all, but you still need theaters that can support that lol

    vampire survivors

    I got by with this combo. I wanted to get the fire explosion arcana to really boost Hellfire damage (the bounce + explode arcanas make it do disgusting DPS), but had to get the revive arcana as my 2nd due to sustain problems. Heaven sword crit + bounce arcanas make it pretty nutty, especially...

    Lost Ark Online

    Because the game has both drops and honing, and psychologically honing feels worse Honing just gives you +gooder and eventually unlocks content. Stuff like skill books and jewelry comes down to drop RNG. The problem with late honing is you put in lots of time to get together enough various...

    Lost Ark Online

    Honing feels bad because of the failures. The frequency doesn’t matter - if I grind materials, hit the button, and it eats my mats and says try again…that feels bad. It’s an arbitrary system of which the player has little agency to control beyond failure chance reduction materials (which unto...

    pretty much. Addons and encounter development have been an arms race for many many years.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Trying to argue that choreography isn’t hard to a weak argument. The hardest part of any raid fight is execution. Having your raid fucked up because of bad RNG isn’t good design. That’s like saying if you were judging a dance routine, you’d give more points to the person who kept dancing...

    Star Trek: Picard

    His interactions have been fine. Shows up, does some risky stuff to help the doctor, gets the doctor interested. Although he is in sort of an awkward spot considering time travel.

    Star Trek: Picard

    It's a tough problem because there isnt a uniform reason behind it, so it would require a large number of solutions to completely different problems. Psychiatric conditions and drug/alcohol abuse would probably be 2 of the biggest factors, and in Cali the insane real estate market doesn't help...

    Lost Ark Online

    Ok. To start, I limited my scope to the West. I could give a fuck what numbers in Asia are. In regards to a AAA MMO, I define failure as 20k or less daily players on average in NA/Western Region and with major content patches only seeing about a 2x bump in that figure.

    Lost Ark Online

    Fail is relative. I would use the same time table as Black Desert and Archeage in terms of population drop. People forgive RMT shit for a time if the gameplay is engaging, but the bottom will fall out pretty quick at a certain point. I would say that Smilegate is a bit better at offering...

    Yes, but DA used to have higher quality degenerates. Now when you do searches, it feels like half the shit is something a bot using MS Paint spewed out.

    Lost Ark Online

    Yes, shitty honing rates acting as an artificial block towards higher item level is such hard, difficult content This game will long term fail for the same reason every Korean p2w MMO long term fails in the West - eventually the shiny newness wears off and people realize it's just a nice...

    Deviantart had been bleeding off good artists and photographers for a long time now, but it really started to go down the tubes when things like Patreon became a thing - a lot of artists went over there and started to post work and actually get paid. Prior to then, places like Flickr and...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    You won't hear anything from Alex for a good long time. He has nothing to gain from it and it would just toss him back into the spotlight, refreshing his existence in the mind of the twitter brigade which has long since moved on to other targets.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Time trials are always a lazy means of increasing difficulty and all they do is force the meta for clearing into an incredibly narrow band of acceptable classes/specs. Since they rarely balance for this, it means you typically exclude a good part of your playerbase (either because of the class...

    TERA

    It had a few things going against it. SWTOR was at the time ultra hyped and that launched sometime after TERA. Then MoP came out. Besides its combat, TERA didnt really have much else going for it in terms of draw. People eventually got bored of it

    The Time Traveler's Wife

    I never read the book, just saw the movie when it came out like 13 years ago. The premise was interesting, how their experience of things was out of sync and there was sort of a paradoxical element to it. Like Clare met Henry before Henry met Clare in terms of their own timelines, but this...

    TERA

    TERA was probably my first introduction to the “action combat” MMO format, which felt pretty revolutionary at the time. I do agree on the generic feel of the lore and quests and stuff. Healing was also weird - I remember that class that would poop out orbs you had to run over to get healed...

    Sure they can. Just frame it as a "sins of our fathers" type deal. At least that is what they should do.

    Episode was awesome. Except Kwan. God she is so fucking annoying "I need to lead the revolution!" with the entire revolution dead and no one giving a fuck about some little girl thinking she is Joan of Arc

    The article makes it sounds like they might focus more on post Warcraft 2 through Warcraft 3 era story. I mean you really only have 2 options if you introduce Thrall 1) Do his leadup to WC3 where he gets educated, learns to fight, and eventually rediscovers shamanism 2) Just jump right into...

    Gerrymandering should just flat out be banned. It’s bullshit that any political party can redraw district lines to give their party an advantage. Anyways, one thing to keep in mind is there are a lot of shades to the political spectrum. Massachusetts will elect Republican senators or...

    Picard S2 is better than S1, IMO. This episode was great because Seven called out Raffi for her gaslighting bullshit lol
