I played it as RTWP and just dealt with it. Was it much nicer as Turn based in Kingmaker?

My favorite moment playing this game was when I somehow lost the electric orb in the camel dungeon. I thought I was fucked in finishing the dungeon but I shit out all the metal stuff in my inventory and it conducted electricity to the other thing I needed to solve the puzzle. Truly a holy shit...

I fully expect our shantytown to collapse due to infighting and rampant retardation before winter even sets in. Zombies, enemy players and plague monsters will be the least of our problems in the face of mismanagement and idiocy. But what a ride it will be!

I'll be playing this I think now. FOH town a coming up?

Not sure about the elective requirements there but even CLEP that do not apply directly to your degree track DO apply to your elective requirement. At least when I was doing them.

Monkey boy will die to shotgun fire like everything else!

I bitched about it in the job hunting thread but this was not my experience lol. I got tons of interviews and a handful of offers. But the process was pretty much a shit show and getting ghosted mid process is very common. Not to mention how retarded a lot of interviews are. I'll never forget...

I don't think I'd ever entertain a counteroffer unless I was in like an @alavaz situation. Where I did like the company and the job but I just couldn't deal with the lowball salary. Because to me you want to leave a job for a reason. GM could have counteroffered me 2x my salary and a promotion...

Back in the day they used to be fried up in beef tallow. Can you imagine?

The other 411 movie has one where a 5 year old wanders off the property. Some farm in Montana or whatever. This kid was found, and survived. He remembers nothing obviously. Thing is he was found like 10 miles away over rough terrain. Les Stroud, the survivor man, walked the kids suspected route...

Sure but if there was any evidence of that as opposed to just speculating they would have said so. Not sure why you act like the obvious angles weren't explored. That they were explored and came up with nothing is why these cases are interesting in the first place.

Gates of Discord was a superior expansion to 8.3... My god.

Well it isn't like they could make the system WORSE than corruption right? Could they make the game even less friendly for alts? Hrmmmmm?

Funny story about this. So my previous employer, General Motors, explicitly banned LinkedIn recommendations by employees even if you worked together. After the layoffs, those that stayed deleted the ones they made for me out of fear of reprisal. Not sure how many companies actually have such a...

Onto the Skald stretch goal now. At least they aren't getting outside of the usual pathfinder stuff yet. They'll hit the next one today too I'm sure. Going to be a wild ride.

You can certainly bar access to places with flying which can make it useful and cool to use. Make flying mounts only 15 minutes per hour and see how people will seethe rofl.

I think they are trying to get across just how skeptical the average person would be. Which is cool and all but they're dragging it on. Even in the face of completely inexplainable evidence and unbelievable coincidence everyone just wants to shrug it away as being bullshit.

This is another poignant point of MMO design. For a game that is at is core a gear treadmill how much should you let new players skip so they get to the new content?

That said. Mounts with other benefits like water walk and glide are cool innovations imo.

I got my last job through LinkedIn and it's my primary resume now.

That's the result of creating a feature because it'd market real well I guess. It severely limits your design space so now you have to go through these shenanigans to create stuff.

This is better than doing a single quest for a key to enter a dungeon or raid dungeon. Or grinding one rep for mats to summon a raid boss. Yes.

Okay so these search and rescue groups never once found a patch of obvious quicksand in the area, or a pop up sinkhole, or something similar and put two and two together? I keep telling you these are interesting because they baffled the search and rescue people.

No it wasn't but getting a group for the place even as a Cleric was terrible. Chardok too.

I haven't played Pillars since release but it had a number of elements that pissed me off. Mercs being available being one and the unbelievable power of the Ambush Arquetype Rogue. Since it has some odd mass stealth mechanic you could just sneak up and unload your 4 arquebus sneak attack...

Yes nobody ever thought of that. You cracked it. Good work sir.

I hope so too. At least they have their engine put together well now but who knows. They are going to have to think up a ton of stretch goals here and mounted combat already looks retarded. I avoided any PF game I could where the DM wanted to do it. Because fuck dealing with a god damn horse in...

Planes of Power is a good example of that. Despite 5 new levels and items and spells Vex Thal was still extremely useful to do for most guilds. However, the keying process was still balls and you had to organize your guild to handle that structural difficulty. But in the end Vex Thal items could...

These are fascinating because they baffle all the search and rescue people. Sure it's easy to say well they must have been eaten by animals or fell in a random hole never to be seen again. But it isn't like that's a new theory. Search and rescue teams explored all obvious angles only to end up...

This is one of those philosophical points about MMO design though. Yes the uber players will always be playing a different game than Little Timmy. But at Blizzard HQ you run into the very real question of how much of the end game content should Little Timmy see? How much should we spend on...

Well MMORPG isn't mean to be played for a week and forgotten about. The perpetual world aspect is what defines MMORPG to me. That and of course the traditional RPG progression appeal. Base management stuff is okay and all but I prefer just to be an adventurer in a big, mysterious and dangerous...

Dark Souls Remaster

If you think about it MMO game design is just out there and nuts. Many core principles of it go against every other kind of game you could make. Game needs to be open ended. There can't be one route to do anything. Needs a strong end game to keep people playing. Traditionally this would be the...

I think this is the argument again to structural vs mechanical difficulty. EverQuest was not a hard game. It had lots of frustration due to lack of knowledge, danger of death and punishment for dying that made your progress slower. However if you played more (the point of an MMO) you would be...

Cool movie if you like unexplained disappearances. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/611444-missing-411-the-hunted?language=en-US

Yeah lol. She may look 20 but she smells like old wood and she's 500 years old. How can you fuck that?

This looks great.

This was mentioned by someone a while back around here. Watched it today. It is quite fucked up. Just the sheer scale of it. Most striking to me was the, "human traffickers" who the Chinese put in prison for decades for their crimes of... not letting these kids just die. Sure they did make...
