Early voting is good. But just having voting one day of the week on a weekday is shit. That’s part of the reason old people probably always had a greater turn out: most of them are retired or aren’t dealing with kids anymore, so they have time to waste
2nd episode was fine - what you would expect from an episode of Trek: Simple problem becomes complex, gets solved with technobabble and logic. Toss in a little character development as well.
The expansion of mail in voting due to COVID helped people vote who normally didn’t.
1) Depending on where you live, polling stations may be hard to get to or have long waits
2) Voting is on a Tuesday, which is typically a work day for most people. Depending on your schedule, it can be hard...
His note taking was always so frustrating to watch. "I'm a lore guy!" *proceeds to write notes for meaningless parts, ignoring what is happening on the screen that actually gives context and information regarding lore*
I’m dubious about that. Activision probably pushed the sequel prematurely, because they wanted another IP with sequels being pushed out at more frequent intervals
Even more funny, he deleted the vod, but people copied the meltdown and reposted it. Then he took it down using a copyright strike, which showed his real name lol
The only thing that stood out to me is one scene where it looks like they are rebuilding some me of the human base and you see Avatars decked out in Earth gear. But you also see humans in the wild using bows and shit.
Based on this, I suspect the people who stayed at the end of the first...
I never got an email, but I did get beta access from Twitch during that event. To get it to show up, I had to switch my region to EU, logged into game, exited, switched back to NA, and then it let me select the OW2 beta from versions
3D was killed by cash grabs. Part of the reason Avatar had impressive 3D visuals was because the film was made from the ground up using specialized technology and film techniques to emphasize it.
Then everyone wanted on the 3D bandwagon because money, so they either did partial 3D (aka the old...
That was a little too on the nose showing actual footage vs. just talking about it, although they didn't explicitly call out any one side.
Half the politics forum seems to rub one out to the fantasy of a civil war occurring, so figured they would be glad about that lol
The Eugenics Wars in the 90s is something they have been trying to fix for decades now, mostly by ignoring the fuck out of it or just tossing it into the WW3 conversation. Picard came the closest by that bit at the end where Project Khan was started or at least explored in the mid-90s
I mean...
Hellboy II was an extremely entertaining movie. I was always pissed they never capped it off with a part 3. I think the planned part 3 was going to involve Rasputen's ghost and an army of Nazi mechs.
End of the day this is a business. If your business is being impacted because some fucking edge lord is being an anti-social dipshit and losing you customers, you make changes to mitigate that
If I had a restaurant and some dude buys a burger then starts being a toxic asshole and driving away...
Q was 100% the reason to watch this season. It’s a shame he was underutilized. The scenes between him and Picard were great and didn’t miss a beat from the TNG days
The healer self heal is fine because a decent amount of healers lack decent self-healing option. Without a 2nd tank, healers have to devote more time to healing the squad or putting themselves in danger to keep the tank up
Even if they aren’t the same exact kids as Wandavision, it’s close enough for Wanda. The show basically explains how fucked up Wanda is - she literally creates a reality to cope with her loss and at the end, she is shown delving into the Darkholdt to gain what she lost.
While the show might not...
It was decent for a finale. I do appreciate they actually gave a stronger acknowledgment to Khan and the 90s. Other stuff
Anyways, I’m sure the transwrap things will tie into the S1 threat and the final season will focus on the galaxy teaming up to stop it
Did the documentary touch on the subject that most of the proven mail fraud ended up getting tied to Republican voters, or did they just chalk that up to "it was really a democrat pretending to be a republican and voting republican to discredit the republicans!" style of logic?
EVE had the advantage of basically being Capitalism: The MMO to buffer the PVP aspect, which helped attract a different type of PVPer (it basically attracted the Hedge Fund Manager instead of the backalley brawlers) . If they did not have as complex a market and trade system and it was just...
No doubt, but it sort of fails because it doesn’t come across as very real or genuine. The FF live letters can sometimes suffer for the “live” part, like when YoshiP goes off on a 20 minute tangent explaining why teleport costs are going up 100 Gil because some people in chat got salty. But...
Shadowbane is also a perfect example as well and what I consider to be the textbook example of how not to make a PvP game. AoC even has the Shadowbane like mechanic to being able to declare on low level cities, which all but ensures that whoever hits hard and hit first basically wins the game...
Any system that lets a player or group of players severely impact the play experience of the majority is always going to fail
A lot of the proposed AoC design sounds like things that Sharif hated about AA: safe zones, pirate faction, and bots. And I can understand that, but I think he is...
On the flip side, it probably helped convince them to have ShB written primarily by one person, the person who wrote both the Doma stuff and the Omega stuff in SB (probably the two best parts)
Even if you didn’t pvp, pvp influenced pve
1) travel costs were heavily discounted if your faction owned territories or forts that gave travel cost reductions. If your faction owned shit, you would literally have to spend 25% or more of your max Azoth to travel anywhere
2) town owners...
Talking Dead was kind of interesting when it was brand new: hype “talk shows” were a novelty at that point. The “in memorandum “ clip they used to add was also sort of amusing. But that got tiring and now every show tries to do the same shit
