Nah, CN quit the server mid to Early Velious. I can't remember if we woke Sleeper late Velious or extremely early Luclin. I am thinking late Velious, because the server was livid the primal pipeline was cutoff and it was still the BFA (EOD+TR). I think one other guild joined us to wake...

Short for Mad + Balding

I recall our guilds lost a lot of players around Luclin/end of Velious. When we woke the sleeper, I recall it took a lot of convincing to get dozens of people to come back for the fight.

Ya, there is a lot of COPIUM in those posts. It’s an action rpg with extra features

I recall the Wired article where a company got sued because they made a cheap diagnostic tool that let franchise owners fix most of the machine issues without a tech from the machine manufacturer. The service contracts and hidden shit is just a racket to milk franchises of money, so not...

Moon would start breaking into pieces long before full impact due to gravitational forces. And ya, moon impacting Earth would basically be full reset. Earth as a planet would survive, but you’d literally turn the massive portions of the lithosphere into molten rock and extinguish all life...

Exactly. Then 20 years after that, our brains encased in robot exoskeletons will lament how shitty it was since it lacked full sensory features and how it’s replacement and the ERP community ushered in a new era in human society where we shed our mortal bodies so we could focus on banging...

It just means gaming the algorithm on YouTube like video creators already have to

you’re right, I don’t want to play EQ1 again. I watched Octopimp play about a month ago and was reminded how scuffed it was. I don’t doubt there are people who would love to play EQ1 with gooderer graphics, but I do doubt there is a large enough fan base to warrant a massive investment with...

Ancient game model + new engine != success. FFXI was very close to EQ1 with better graphics. Popular at the time. FFXIV initially was that but prettier. It bombed. They later fixed it and released Eureka, a FFXI/EQ1 style mmo zone within a mmo with slow leveling, groups virtually required...

Right, but what were the horse game dev costs? It’s all relative. If Amazon is dumping 100+ million on a game, niche isn’t going to cut it

No, beyond Reddit detectives and their guilt by association bullshit. it seems more likely he got pushed because of how OW2 was progressing

Niche is the keyword there. Amazon is probably expecting a decent ROI on this project and PVP heavy MMOs tend to burn out extremely fast, especially when that is really the only thing to do. Ashes of Creation is going to have the same issue if he insists on having dumb shit like "lose half...

Maybe, but in the West it is going to basically be seen as Diablo/PoE type game. The isometric MMO like Lineage 1 and GW1 and the like was mostly an Eastern thing

LA and NW are pretty different games. LA seems to have more in common with Diablo than WoW/FF14. Numbers from Korea/China are always "take with a grain of salt" since most of that shit comes from PC Cafes/PC Bangs vs. actual personal PC ownership and those audiences are already conditioned for...

Yes but will this Rocketeer have Betty Paige?

Ya this was a good one. Kind of reminded me of The Timelord Victorious concept from Doctor Who if he had actually succeeded

It’s a technical hurdle at the moment to create fusion power generation that produces more than it consumes on a usable scale. The US and Europe have made good progress, but we are many decades out from something potentially game changing for civilization

Lol that was literally my first thought

The biggest problem with rare earth metals is you have to process a lot of material just to get a tiny bit of the REM and it is very polluting/toxic. If you could process them on the moon, people wont give a shit about pollution (initially anyways). Bringing water into space from Earth is...

Unlikable characters are hard to write properly. Context of the story matters a lot…the reader or audience isn’t going to give a shit about the character and their fate unless there is an interesting hook to them or they are interacting with an interesting character you do care about. Common...

Oh no doubt, they’ve just never publicly confirmed anything

Ya, maybe it’s a generational thing, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around how being a emotionally manipulative person = sexual assault? The guy does come across as a shitbag to be sure. But trying to equate this with rape or sexual abuse or whatever seems to be demeaning to actual...

Ship port in space will be limited in use unless it can supply things ships need. LEO has applications, but refueling isn’t one of them.

Even if they didn’t, I have to imagine most of the regulars are going to be treating him like radioactive waste and staying away

Bunch of accusations coming out against Arcadum. He's been pretty successful running complex D&D campaigns on Twitch and has had lots of big names playing his games

Don't need grappling hooks if you're a 24/7 pilot lol

100% correct. The platform really has a dogshit way of showing live streams. They get mixed in with all your other recommended/subscribed videos.

Interesting. I wonder what prompted it. Maybe YouTube is getting more serious about attracting big streamers?

I remember a town in Maine like that decades back. This isn't even a joke, if you were going even 1 mile over the speed limit, they would pull you over and give you a speeding ticket. My elderly grandmother who was the slowest driver I knew even got a ticket and that was one of the first times...

Only way it would ever be a thing is if were rolled into what DARPA already does every now and again with prizes for solving a tech issue.

Right, but the reason to cross that river or mountain or sea was "maybe this will enrich me, or my family or clan" or "we can't stay here any longer, maybe we can survive over there"

Sure, we could. But the feasible part comes into play. Humans usually need a reason to invest in something like that. Basically "how does this benefit me?" Short of stress factors causing it (ie, solar system is going to get rekt / we ran out of resources in the solar system), you aren't...

Interstellar travel beyond "nearby" systems is always going to require FTL to be feasible. Baby steps. We still need good propulsion system for travel within the solar system. Even The Expanse with their physically questionable Epstein Drive takes a long ass time to get anywhere.

Ya, that will be the one to watch. New skills and existing skill revamps/changes usually get talked about there.

The greatest irony was all these things caused the mass exodus from EQ1 to WoW way back when

This is why overdosing on “red pills” is bad - rots the brain to the point they can’t even remember who the original Avengers were

Not sure what gave that impression. It's just an anthology show that lets them play around with multiverse scenarios. Is it possible they might have crossovers? Sure.

He was in the Cosby Suite chat texts. When Furor mentions marrying the women, he responds “you mean fuck”.

Tigule + Foror = <redacted> and <redacted>????
