I played the shit out of MineralZ in SC2 custom maps and it was an awesome map. However the marketplace design they were going for and how fucked Bnet2.0 was just ruined it. WC3 and SCBW custom maps happened organically. Shitty ones just wouldn't be played. If Bliz weren't a bunch of hacks they...

This has no joke got to be the worst tavern brawl they have ever conceived.

Didn't Bliz militantly shut down some of the emulated classic servers years ago? I know Northdale exists but they did kill a few off didn't they?

I remember distinctly how SC2's online features were a huge downgrade from the B.NET SC:BW used in fucking 1998. It really pissed me off how their Custom Settings map, "marketplace" worked. Had this bizarre popularity system they manipulated so only maps like that showed up. Their chat features...

Just a shame. The amount of time I put into Custom Settings maps in WC3 and SCBW probably surpasses all other games I played as a teenager. Even Everquest. So many of those custom settings maps had a great deal of charm and true innovation. DOTA wasn't even something I liked really but...

If you've never done it. One of the best exercises to build these kind of skills is to make a full stack website. AWS free tier is very helpful for this. Make a dumb website with some minimal functionality and make a backend database for it from scratch. You'll use SQL, Python or whatever...

@AladainAF If you want to be meta with DBs you're going to need to have one for each element. Element is really strong with Bow/DB. So you're going to want to have Critical Eye 7 and Weakness Exploit 3 on all your builds. Along with Crit Boost/Ele boost or whatever you can fit in with Decos...

Data science is a real broad term too. Are you already good at data or understanding how companies use big data? Or have used a data warehouse? If you've done none of it. Start with SQL and understanding relational databases. Then go from there.

Try one that lets you block. HBG, Lance, Gunlance, Greatsword, Sword and Shield, Charge Blade.

Oh yeah the defense down / roar into slow death you can do nothing about from Temp Lunastra Nova is horseshit. I've died to that like... alot. I don't think there's anything you can do about it if that unfortunate chain of events happens.

@Brando You mean the like 3 layers of frost circle? I recommend rolling into it. Because the center explodes before the outer so you can usually roll into it to avoid it exploding where you're currently standing.

I mean I guess I get Dawn of the Dead and Dragonball Z copyright lawyers getting handsy or something. But custom map settings were basically fair use 99% of the time. People made them because they wanted to and they lived or died based on how fun they were. Madnesses, weird RPGs, all kinds of...

I think the greater point is that Bliz is in strict opposition to dicking around with the map editor as opposed to the past 22 years of their existence. Now you have the Blizzard Police on your ass if you use an anime character or some other shit in your custom settings map on top of Blizz from...

If I had a multi-billion dollar genre invented in the map editor to my own game that you failed to make a single dollar off of (actually Heroes of the Storm probably lost them money?) I'd be salty AF too I guess.

Imagine being so incompetent you couldn't even remaster a great game built by the actual talent that left your company forever ago.

I also have to do the fun thing in Austin that everyone seems to do which is pay up an attorney a long with half the town to ensure our property tax increases are capped. As Austin continues to grow at is ludicrous pace the counties have become real lame about raising property taxes. The state...

When escrow is paid varies by state. I know in Texas they seem to pay it once a year because even though I pay it through escrow I get a letter from the county tax assessor about how much was paid. If the estimate by the servicer was too high/low they just give me back the difference for some...

If the bank forgot to pay your property tax via escrow that would just mean you were on the hook for it in a lump sum wouldn't it? My loan servicer has changed like 3 times since I bought this house 4 years ago.

In 2013 when I moved out of Florida they caught like 15 supposed pedos with this method. The ones who had money fought it off but others got fucked. Still cost you a ton of money to defend against it because the state still charged these guys with inappropriate contact with a minor something...

Probably more like worthless LEOs doing bullshit entrapment "sting" operations. See, you bait them in with the cougar and then switch it to stuff like, "you need to meet my daughter!" Dude eventually relents and meets the daughter only for it to be a sting operation and then you're a pedo for...

@xzi because it is free. You don't need to use an XP booster. But if you want your sweet cosmetics fast you will. Not sure if I am not getting that across clearly?

@Utnayan as much as I love your Doom bets for the good of us all I hope you lose this one too. But yeah, you don't go out of your way to say how your XP store is only cosmetic and you can ignore it and its all free if there isn't something fishy going on along with it. They are already selling...

It's not an MTX store see. They aren't lying to you. XP boosters not being an MTX store is not a meaningful difference man. It's the same bullshit with a different coat of paint.

Look at how the dude is phrasing the XP store. It doesn't make sense unless your'e intentionally trying to avoid saying its MTX while also not overtly lying about it.

60%+ of the ladder being shaman is now 60%+ of the ladder being druid. Blows my mind that they had a stupidly powerful shaman deck and inadvertently create an even more powerful druid deck.

So there is no MTX store just an XP store. But you need to buy boosts to earn XP faster than you would without it so you can use it in the free store... But they're not MTX because you aren't buying skins directly. That's what I am understanding here.

That is an extremely odd way of phrasing it... Are they naming their MTX Currency XP? If so, that is some filthy filthy shit.

Praise the Doom Slayer. It's a Christmas miracle.

Sure do.

also I laughed way too hard at this

This is building up pretty well. Since this creature does this regularly I like that the authorities just go with the most plausible explanation and ignore the rest. As that is what people would actually do. I do always enjoy paranormal stuff in this way.

Yeah I had my earplugs phase too. As you improve and understand the monsters you can roll at the time the monster roars and it doesn't effect you. I think defense down and tremor are way worse than howl.

I think it was a bad call to have to grind Tempered Investigation for efficient decorations and ingredients but also Grinding Lands for aug mats that you cannot get from Investigations or any other source. I mean it isn't the worst since the monsters can drop tons of pieces per fight. But it's...

lol get used to it. I killed like 15 Acid Glavenus the other day just to get the acid goo off of him.

Crew served weapons also require a lot more maintenance and it is very easy for them to fall out of maintenance. IDK how many times I had to man a turret on vehicles that weren't ours only to find the .50 was barely serviceable. The charging handle couldn't be pulled back despite me being 19 and...

SOCOM on the PS2 is one of the games that truly tried realism in this regard. One of the mechanics was that your rounds weren't pooled. So you couldn't reload from 1/20 to 20/20 from a pool of 300 rounds. You had 6 mags you had to reload individually. While a cool concept in terms of realistic...

For the guy who ND'd in a room full of people. I honestly don't knock him too hard for it. Civilian hunters don't clean weapons constantly and aren't loaded constantly. This guy was patrolling two or three times a day for 6 months. It's a fuckup he never should of made no question. He was...

I know for a fact that the National Guard ND'd an AT4 in Kuwait in 2004. I read the incident report on it. Didn't kill anyone but it blew up some shit. It was, of course, done by a National Guard Captain and I never learned if he was punished for it. AT4 (rocket launcher for you filthy civs)...

IDK about y'all @Gravel or @Big Phoenix but even an ND into a clearing barrel was going to straight up demote you in most cases when I was in Iraq 2006-2008. If you ND into a clearing barrel anywhere it was just paperwork and you'd get smoked and shit sure. Only once did I see someone ND not in...
