    They fled to Poland for the same reason millions of Ukrainians fled to Poland: it shares a large border, is friendly, and is relatively far away from Russia. They also fled super early on, before the ultra queues happened and before Ukraine started to prevent men from leaving. The US state...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    multiple reasons, but a big reason is culturally, Americans smile a lot and it frequently is a smile showing your teeth. So your teeth are seen a lot more and if you have fucked up teeth, people are going to make assumptions about you (anywhere from education to wealth to health/genes).

    Halo

    Ya I honestly hope they drop that plot line and character in season 2. Even if it is realistic: dumb teenager thinks they are Superman and can’t understand why all the adults think they’re dumb lol

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It’s kind of clever. Sort of like a Phil Coulson must die so the Avengers form, except with elf bro

    No, she just hitched a ride on Steve's WW2 Ironman suit

    Because players turn out for freebies. Like at the OW2 beta giveaway. Hundreds of thousands of viewers. Will all of them buy OW2? Of course not. But it increases awareness for the product with very little advertising expenditures - streamers will do it for the viewers (money) and require...

    …and then you die to an unresistable death touch because that was the the dev’s answer to every raid encounter

    Yes, instant ads are such shit. I want to see if the stream is even interesting and immediately getting an ad is more often than not going to result in me going elsewhere

    Not disagreeing with drama/etc probably being a factor. The pet thing seems reasonable. If I have a chance to save my dog, I’m saving my dog. I’m not just going to abandon him unless I’ve exhausted literally every feasible option and it’s a life/death type of thing, and even then it would be...

    Youve got old info. She needed to get specific passports/documents to move pets across borders or to the US (because of the rabies issue you mentioned). She had left Bucha to go to Lyiv because the documents had not cleared and the state dept issued warnings to US citizens. Then when Russia...

    There is too much slurping going on in this derail. Nice to see so many people hate America that claim to love it.

    Which part? She has lived in Bucha for years. She posted about it for years. What FSB funded bullshit portal are y’all getting your news from? “guys, even though Putin has made it no secret he thinks the USSR failing was the worst thing ever and hates the west, there’s no way he would lie...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Episode was kind of all over. Assimilated special ops suddenly become Star Wars stormtroopers with aim. Hologram Romulan that somehow has memories of the real guy. Picard flashback with still no clear point on the plot besides character development I do like how Juratti basically called out...

    Ya, I can’t imagine why a woman who was forced to flee her home in Bucha and has probably lost everything she owns that she couldn’t carry with her and had Russian soldiers kill her neighbors that stayed would be mad at Russia. Such bias

    Resist gear is just a way to artificially extend content with minimal mudflation

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    Not really - it was just a means to add "soft resets" to gear by forcing players to wear an item (typically with sub-optimal stats) for the express purpose to mitigate or eliminate some unavoidable AOE a boss threw out. Then this was usually done in an environment that limited storage (either...

    True, but their biggest stars usually have the lucrative contracts. They would have to sweeten the pot a lot I suspect

    Black Desert

    Sounds better than when I played it - quests had like no XP and you were forced to just grind mobs. I noped the fuck out because I started to get EQ1 PTSD

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Depending on how much practical props and sets are required (especially considering higher construction material prices) and how much CGI is pumped into this, that isn't too much out of line with a major blockbuster movie. It's still a fuckton of money, though.

    vampire survivors

    I got by with this combo. I wanted to get the fire explosion arcana to really boost Hellfire damage (the bounce + explode arcanas make it do disgusting DPS), but had to get the revive arcana as my 2nd due to sustain problems. Heaven sword crit + bounce arcanas make it pretty nutty, especially...

    Lost Ark Online

    Because the game has both drops and honing, and psychologically honing feels worse Honing just gives you +gooder and eventually unlocks content. Stuff like skill books and jewelry comes down to drop RNG. The problem with late honing is you put in lots of time to get together enough various...

    Lost Ark Online

    Honing feels bad because of the failures. The frequency doesn’t matter - if I grind materials, hit the button, and it eats my mats and says try again…that feels bad. It’s an arbitrary system of which the player has little agency to control beyond failure chance reduction materials (which unto...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Trying to argue that choreography isn’t hard to a weak argument. The hardest part of any raid fight is execution. Having your raid fucked up because of bad RNG isn’t good design. That’s like saying if you were judging a dance routine, you’d give more points to the person who kept dancing...

    Star Trek: Picard

    His interactions have been fine. Shows up, does some risky stuff to help the doctor, gets the doctor interested. Although he is in sort of an awkward spot considering time travel.

    Star Trek: Picard

    It's a tough problem because there isnt a uniform reason behind it, so it would require a large number of solutions to completely different problems. Psychiatric conditions and drug/alcohol abuse would probably be 2 of the biggest factors, and in Cali the insane real estate market doesn't help...

    Lost Ark Online

    Ok. To start, I limited my scope to the West. I could give a fuck what numbers in Asia are. In regards to a AAA MMO, I define failure as 20k or less daily players on average in NA/Western Region and with major content patches only seeing about a 2x bump in that figure.

    Fail is relative. I would use the same time table as Black Desert and Archeage in terms of population drop. People forgive RMT shit for a time if the gameplay is engaging, but the bottom will fall out pretty quick at a certain point. I would say that Smilegate is a bit better at offering...
