    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It probably comes down to money. WoTC made over 90 million off the back of royalty agreements from BG3 for use of the IP. Given the massive success, I wouldn't be shocked if WOTC would have then pushed for an even more higher royalty payout for any future use of the IP through DLC or sequels...

    Is there a good resource on character creation examples being shared and inputs to get those results?

    Civil War (2024)

    The second a third party jumps in and says “mine”, the other two warring factions either team up or one side that is losing sells out to the third party in a desperate bid to turn the tide

    Riot Games MMO

    prediction 1) Riot games tries to work on MMO 2) It doesn’t work (you are here) 3) They decide to make a shooter with the assets 4) it becomes a huge hit 5) they decide to work on a sequel game that is similar to the failed mmo project. The huge hit is abandoned with no updates of note 6)...

    It’s hard enough getting food in the US where people handling/prepping actually practice proper hygiene. Especially the small eating spots with limited staff - I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen the cashier handle money, then immediately start prepping your food without gloves or washing

    Civil War (2024)

    Reviews I have read almost make it sound similar to World War Z the book in terms of format. The main characters are some journalists making their way across America and collecting stories/observing stuff about different situations going on during the conflict. It also sounds like the movie...

    There have been studies related to kids who grew up with family pets or played in the dirt and how their immune systems developed/the occurrence rate of things like asthma. Effectively lower incidence It makes sense - while you increase risk of pathogens, you’re also increasing exposure to...

    Sure they could. You'd probably just end up seeing franchised brothels while the bible belt cries about it openly but half their population secretly uses them but doesn't admit to it

    Ok bye Episode was good. I liked how Anjin realized what he says have real consequences and how little he understands things (even though he is catching on fast) The landslide effect was awesome as well

    Was that the same actress? Still was kind of funny the vault dweller is trying to talk the situation down and she is like “fucking vault dwellers…”

    Helldivers II

    The explosive heavy armor does help a bit - you don’t get 1 shot by cannon towers from what I have experienced You still get lit the fuck up by everything else though Heavy kits need a buff vs ranged damage to make them a better option vs bots, whereas with bugs you need speed to outrun the swarms

    Fallout

    That’s still a reach and feels like odd catch22 logic If they had included that stuff, then some people would have complained about gay elements being included in the film and it would have been cut out of prints in certain countries to avoid the entire movie being banned, because some...

    The fundamental issue with some of those examples like Amazon Rings, Trek shows like Disco or Picard S1/2, new SW Trilogy: 1) Less skilled or less suited show runner handled them (ie, they don't understand the source material or intentionally are ignoring it) 2) Studio or actor meddling...

    Fallout

    Honestly I think there is some survivorship bias there. No one remembers the 1 or half season crapfests from 20 years ago, especially when there wasn’t a cottage industry which specifically tries to highlight the visibility of those types of projects to a wider audience

    The electric armor is good if you have multiple people running arc - you don't have to be as careful to avoid insta-gibbing a teammate, which is useful during big hordes

    I didn’t pay for the whole article, but I think you’re misinterpreting the summary. They’re making a distinction between industrialized and non industrialized societies and over all exposure to various wildlife and domesticated livestock and overall dietary fiber intake - that doesn’t mean...

    The internet magnified sensitivity to it. 20-30 years ago or more you didn’t have a massive amount of rage farmers with global reach. Rage farmers did exist, but usually it was things like talk radio or other smaller scale mediums If Farscape came out today, I’m convinced it would have been...

    No one likes overly preachy or blatant shit, regardless as to the message. Doesn't matter if it has an "agenda" or not. It could be some "drugs are bad, Mkay?" ABC Afterschool special, some blue hair giga fantasy that uses every SJW buzzword known to man, or some Evangelical produced dribble...

    Not sure what is controversial about that statement about trying to make everyone happy. He's right - you can't. That linked article even points out the whole Bethesda Fallout vs. old 2D Fallout fan spats. This very forum highlights that shit constantly

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Had googled it quickly because I had no idea, I always assumed it was a 1 and done. But I had also assumed that about other childhood vaccines until I visited a doctor about 15 years ago and was told some like tetanus need refresher shots

    The stun seems pretty short. If anything, it should be longer for callin attacks so they can actually hit enemies

    If you like Japanese history, then definitely yes even if you don’t, it has a lot of classic dramatic elements that make it accessible for general audiences (fish out of water, political intrigue, modern weapons vs old weapons)

    Great progress over the prior couple tests. Looks like some issues with re-entry and initiating landing protocols at the moment, but actually delivering the main vehicle to orbit safely was the biggest hurdle thus far

    Some vaccines only last for a limited time. Things like tetanus last like a decade and you need occasional boosters. Measles I think is lifetime I had to look up polio and apparently it’s 10 years like tetanus

    Antivax right wing are mostly the people who equated the politicized issues with COVID vaccines with ALL vaccines and the pre-COVID infowars dudes who think there are microchips. But before all the COVID shit, you also had the essential oil yoga mom neo-hippies who thought lavender cures...

    No. Point is measles was eliminated in the US effectively decades ago because of vaccines.
