    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    You sort of stumbled upon part of the problem: changes in how companies run this sort of thing Think about news media. In the past, you had staff paid reporters and investigators. Now lots of media is “gig economy”. You basically pick up randos, have them churn out some shit, then kick them...

    Redfall (Vampires, Open World Co-Op Shooter)

    It was, but it had no lasting appeal once you beat it. You could continue to upgrade your gear for the sake of upgrading, but because it wasn’t live service, it had no “meaning” beyond your own motivation to keep playing Kind of like Vampire Survivors - you can get wtf powerful but once you...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    I wasn’t familiar with it myself. From what I can see online, they’re almost like writer “huddles” with a smaller amount of writers. I think the abuse is studios are trying to pay less by stretching out the huddle duration to have them supplant traditional writers rooms at times. Or at least...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    As a tool I don’t disagree it would be useful. I’ve seen artists use AI art programs to help with character posing at times or to figure out lighting, but then they do the rest of the art after that assist

    ChatGPT at the moment can only produce stuff like the "Intergalactic Cable" episodes of Rick and Morty. It can unintentionally stumble across some clever meme-like bits, but most of it sucks

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    People who think writing good material is easy are either exceptionally gifted writers who never have creative block or can’t write for shit and are talking out of their ass. Good writing and dialogue will instantly raise the enjoyment from a work.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    7DTD used to be the block voxels like Minecraft, then they changed the engine years back on it so you could have more complex angles and everything wasn't perfect cubes.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    I liked it. Was a fun movie and the characters were likable as well. This movie actually understood what the Willow TV series missed the mark on in terms of having a more lighthearted fantasy comedy with the occasional serious moment I also liked how the high level Uber paladin didn’t carry...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The thing I hated about WoW PvP is for the longest time they refused to balance it differently than PvE because they didn’t want players getting confused or whatever. This just created a more massive schism between pve and PvP because class tuning and balance was being directly influenced by...

    Are there any decent web-based turn-based RPGs out there right now?

    Maybe some old muds or bbs door games someone put on a browser, like Ursurper or Legend of Red Dragon. You’re probably not going to find much that is newer in the style you are looking for that is multiplayer

    They did throw in a small Sisko Easter Egg - there are a couple times where they mention Sanctuary Districts or show a sign for one

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    New World was a perfect example of why you ignore the MMO "Boomers". "Dungeon finders ruin community!" "Leveling and travel needs to be long and tedious!" "Limited instancing via keys is good so people spend more time in the open world" They rolled back almost all of that because wider...

    The orange version with the centrifuge is the only version worth doing. I would highly recommend against doing it 4 times in a row and then trying to eat lunch, though lol

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Depends. If you don't care about the pig earrings, the hair style is a rare drop from the HoH deep dungeon and usually goes for million+ gil on market board. If you don't care about that, maybe the Magitek Predator mount (the FF6 in-game style magitek armor). It is a rare drop from a...

    It killed underground bases as being viable at all, which I hated because I always loved making bunkers.

    7 Days to Die

    Unless those optimization fixes actually work, they need a lot more work. That game becomes slideshow in certain biomes, even outside of blood moons

    The Astronomy Thread

    Their current Mars plan is to basically launch a bunch of Starships to Mars, have them land, and for them to serve as supply depots and infrastructure bases. Ideally, you would also start generating methane fuel as well. Then the manned Starship would arrive and you'd have a bunch of supplies...

    If they went to the moon/Mars, only the Starship part would be lifting off, not the heavy stage they had on this one

    Star Trek: Picard

    The finale sort of acted as a Borg swan song and it makes sense they want to do that with Picard since the Borg were first introduced in TNG. Trek could dredge them up again and we could have different Borg factions develop, but story wise it makes sense to move past the galactic power level...

    Seven described the collective as sort of a euphoric drug on Voyager from what I remember. He was probably riding that high until he got snapped back to reality

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    Your post is really 3 categories: 1) Sandbox 2) Casual 3) Hardcore Sandbox players are a better fit for "Survival MMO light" games to be honest in this day and age. They tend to have minimal directed gameplay, have relatively long leveling/skill up curves, and rely heavily upon the players...

    The Mandalorian

    It acts as a soft reset button as well. It lets Mando and Grogu go on "badguy of the week" adventures that can be bottle episodes and puts them in a better position for cameos or crossovers.

    And yet MoP was one of the best xpacs for WoW Also regarding the male bunny outfits in that screen, that was mostly western players wanting that. There were some vocal people on the JP forums that didn't want the bunny outfits being usable on males lol (originally it was female only)

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    There are 2 types of Asian MMOs: 1) P2W gacha (usually the Korean/Chinese ones) 2) Traditional MMO style (smaller subset overall) The annoying thing is the P2W gacha MMOs usually have extremely solid combat or really cool mechanics/features and fantastic animation/graphics...which is poisoned...
