The animation budget got a big boost (there was a scene during this patch where they’re eating a Bao-like food and they animated the physics of pulling the thing apart and progressive eating of it). There is also the major graphical overall update planned for 7.0 (which presumably will be mid...

He kept telling Bezos that alchemy was functioning

Finale was decent. I liked the brief shot of that 2 headed dragon monster from the first film. There was sort of an evil dead element to parts of it, or at the least, you can bet they were inspired by that

Pretty much. Most of us are just too old for this. Can you imagine if this was a thing back when UO or EQ1 were in their prime? I imagine a good chunk of us would have tried our hands at streaming

Wait, last Friday was the finale? edit: nm, forgot these drop mid-week

That was the main issue. The game was fun and I ran the “endgame” shit a bunch…but at a certain point, you question why. There is no pvp, no live service elements.

Tbh, I think Zero is a Cecil standin.

Lol Uwe Boll. Haven’t heard that name in forever. Didn’t he basically admit he was essentially exploiting a German law or fund at the time to essentially make the movies for essentially no cost?

Maybe I just don’t frequent the same sites you all do or my algorithm isn’t poisoned by Nerdrotic/Quartering trash, but I haven’t heard any “outcry” against this game except for a random Twitch chatter or two dropping the word “terf” or whatever the fuck those offended people call Jk Rowling now

While I hated her character in the 2nd game, I do agree that introducing her earlier and trying to show those scenes in parallel to the events in the 1st game might allow for more sympathy and actually achieve what the creators of the 2nd game THOUGHT the general audience would react to. I...

I could see that. When Fallout76 had their Battle Royale mode, it was clear a lot of the players weren't that great at shooters. I could literally kill 25% of all the people in the match lol

another thing I noticed is enemy player reaction was sometimes pretty bad in the gunfights - makes me wonder if the enemies were just bad, or there was enough lag/input delay that they couldnt react lol

No spores? Dafuq, that is the whole reason civilization collapsed and a cure is needed so badly. If they just make it some dumb “bites only” mechanism, that will be lame Btw, fungi does spread by spores. That’s their whole schtick

All the 80s stuff was influenced by Boris Vallejo art I presume. He was one of the first artists to do the jacked up / super fit men and woman fantasy warrior art. As far as I know, he was the dude that invented (or at least popularized) the “woman warriors dressed in barely any armor” trope...

I’m curious on scope on the show for season 1. Natural stopping point might be when Joel gets really hurt at the old abandoned lab - cliff hanger for season 2 when the game time skipped until winter and a new location

I recall that people used to mention Tebow had a good skill set for the NFL, but not for the QB position. Julian Edelman was a college QB but in the NFL he did great at the receiver role. Tebow was unwilling to do anything but QB

Not too surprised - the original Avatar was a huge hit in China and the general theme is benign enough that the CCP wouldn’t get ruffled about it

Final patch notes https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/764840557caa22a8f77550b480aa3c79b2e733d2 Couple highlights that weren't 100% clear before 1) 6 new housing wards with subdivisions (essentially 12 wards) will be added to all housing areas. It looks like out of the 12...

For anyone that actually plays this, I know that video is all edited and what have you, but how close to actual gameplay is most of that? Is the gameplay loop at this point just Narcos in Space, or is there more to it currently?

News is showing Hamlin is being transferred to a hospital in Buffalo to continue his recovery.

Since they are entertainers, would be easier to treat it as a costume/wardrobe for entertainment if used for that purpose. Or if used for promotional purposes.

Pandora is a moon around a gas giant, but it takes place in a different solar system. The system can’t be that far since they can only go like .3 or .4c in the movies and the transit times one way are only like 4-5 years or whatever

I think if you don’t know much about the games, then you might like it more. It wasn’t bad if you really want some sci fi, but it is pretty cheesy in parts and some of the B plot lines later on are shitty

Better question is what big names stream this more than 1 day lol

Yes, we "squandered" stuff that was going to be phased out, scuttled, or replaced anyways...which isn't free, btw. It has also acted as the world's biggest demo for US defense platforms - countries around the world now want American made military platforms and ordinance even more. You know...

Was this the one that originally was going to be a MMO, but then they decided to make it an open world adventure game instead?

You do realize most of those "aid packages"numbers are inflated, right? Have you ever actually looked at them? Like %30-40 of the aid package is stuff actually going over there, but the majority of those numbers is the "value" of the original acquisition price of the stuff being sent over from...

Everything changed when the Fire Navi attacked...

Not really. Only places I find them rarely are in warehouses, in those shitty hut houses that have bedrooms (sometimes they're on a bed), and rarely enemies drop them as misc loot I'm 21/26 lol

Pretty cool and actually makes a lot of sense for a hunting/ gathering society to help plan for food availability https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-64162799

“Tom Brady’s grandchild just got drafted by the Bills! He is serving a backup QB to your current QB, Tom Brady”

Bruce said he is done with live action Ash. I think he is a producer on this

Ya, it was pretty decent. It doesn't really have a ton in common with the films. The theme of "how far would you go for family?" makes for some good ethical situations and drama.

Apparently it was recently revealed that Netflix is looking at series completion rates instead of just hours watched as a metric for renewal. For 1899, it only has like a 30% completion rate apparently or in that range.

There is a difference between being nice and being practical. Using your small fish example, it isn’t in the interest of the small fish to murder other small fish of a different species if there are bigger fish that are a risk to both. Becoming allies is a better long term strategy, because it...

That gameplay did look pretty cool, at least in the film.

To be honest, anything post Avatar 3 will be up in the air. 3 was already filmed. If they see large diminishing returns on 3 compared to 2, then I suspect they will re-evaluate bankrolling another 3 and they will scale it back.

The Dark Forest Hypothesis always struck me as unlikely. Unless the resources to launch a preemptive strike against another alien world was too prohibitive, then by that logic, wouldn't it just make sense to destroy ANY planet that shows signs of alien life at even some moderate level of...
