    I can't help but think that as they keep reusing rockets they'll find a way to make that 10-use per rocket figure become 100 uses and beyond.

    I'll step up to the plate and say I remember saying the idea sounded dumb. I didn't realize how little energy it consumed when the space vehicle had no cargo / fuel.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    @Morrow I don't know which one is the most active, but the server I'm on, Bristlebane, is fairly active. It has 5 serious raiding forces, one of which is the "casual" force in Ring of Valor that I sometimes raid with. Otherwise it has a bunch of misc other guilds, and the EoK zones usually...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The no-control-companions thing is so ridiculous. In harder modes in ME3/ME2 the primary thing companions were good for was using their abilities. If I could just solo the game but have three sets of abilities with independent cooldowns it'd be basically equivalent.

    I don't know how they can produce an armor idea without showing a Seaman getting shot while wearing the armor.

    Virtual Reality

    I wouldn't be surprised if resolution in VR explodes beyond 4k per eye, but is driven by upscaled 1080p content. This will diminish if we get foveated rendering.

    PPI is a bad metric, but the new GearVR is talking about 1500PPI vs 550 on the vive/oculus: Next Samsung Gear VR could have a built-in super-high-res display | TechRadar If that's with the same screensize as the vive, it means GearVR will be approaching 4k per eye, I think.

    Well, if you've ever seen me PvP you'll be forced to conclude that my skills have been granted by God. There's no way humans could have evolved the ability to PK at the infinite level I can in one generation.

    I can't tell which sentence is more fucked up, or if Chomsky and Lunis think I'm a chimp because I don't know why eagles are swimming around. Sorry Lunis, good post but I'm no good at combining linguistics, anthropology and philosophy.

    So, I don't know all the details but from what I recall spacex rockets land on the pad, and something/someone comes out and literally welds it to the platform to keep it from falling over. So they invented this thing they call "Optimus Prime": That rolls under the rocket instead and clamps...

    Seems like the cock-blocking wasn't very effective. It didn't take long to go from proving it could be done to getting a contract.

    totally serious: After reading through some of the reviews I feel like ME:A will be a much better game in a year IF bioware fixes the animations/faces/UI/misc bugs. In the same way I think I would've enjoyed DA:I and ME3 much more if I had waited a while before playing them, I think I'm going...

    Spacerat asari is so bad. I wish there was an option to intentionally and permanently kill squadmates. Like when you have to choose whether you kill Ashley or Kaiden, there needs to be an option to say, "I think both of you need to guard this nuclear weapon. And we need to bring Carth Onassi...

    So someone posted pics of a ME:A game guide (who the fuck would buy that) and it says there's no gay romance options. Literally unplayable. You can fuck the dickhead species character though.

    I heard today that there are two alien races. That ME1 had like, 10 different alien races in the Milky Way and ME:A has 2 gives me what I need to know about the creativity of the developers and desire to really make a game about exploring Andromeda. Originally when I saw the ME:A trailer I...

    The fact that there are no humans involved and that the design of re-usable rockets dramatically reduces cost adds a certain amount of... levity, to relatively high chance of disaster with these systems. Instead of it being a national tragedy, if a rocket blows up we'll get a funny tweet from...

    I haven't looked into ME:A's multiplayer but this seems very different from ME3. In ME3 (when I played at the start) buying packs was pretty retarded, and the dudes who bought a ton of packs got burned pretty badly. The cost vs reward was so terrible. And if I could sell the packs at cost...
