God that episode was fucking good. I suspect they are going to leave the choice at the end of the episode for season 3 of Mando I like how the marshal knew they were fucked when the deputy started getting jumpy - he seemed to know who he was dealing with

That became a plot point in Ghost in the Shell. Like that one guy they turned into an assassin and had manufactured a life in his memories, then he finds out they were never real and he breaks down. That sort of shit would be scary, but only possible if we cracked the ability to form memories...

Maybe - if they actually gave a fuck about the Castlevania brand lol

I think he mentioned that through OTK he gets group medical as well, so that no doubt helps in cutting costs down as well. A lot of streamers, since they are independent contractors, get no benefits and good luck finding an individual medical plan that doesn’t have ass benefits that is...

He came from a poor background and seems to have an understanding of what is needed to avoid that. He even admits he doesn’t spend much because of the fear of falling back into poverty. His dad/dad’s side of the family is well off from what he tells. I’m sure he has been given decent advice...

Except pvp is a tiny subset of your customer base, and their own lore has us teaming up constantly to fight big bad. War != pvp

Even though they hid the player numbers, you can just take a look at the town ledgers and invasion/war rosters to know population is starting to crater again. A couple weeks ago, purple on our server could easily field 2 war rosters to fight wars at the same time and be successful. Fast...

I would say that up to at least GS600, there are benefits. Legendary GS600+ can roll with an extra perk on them, which is nice. Post 600, the diminishing returns are real.

Speaking of New World, this new roster bug introduced with the patch fucking sucks. Always getting lag detected, says you arent signed up for a war/invasion but you are, then it bugs out and doesnt fill a roster so your invasion is down like 10-15 people

Templars can be pretty powerful with the right melee build and the teleport ability

In the EU, I think they explained that the Sarlacc would absorb the minds of the beings it consumed and their bodies would get fused into the flesh of the Sarlacc.

He always said he planned to retire when he felt like he sucked. While he was still better than most QB in the league, I wouldn't be surprised if he looked at his current performance, his injuries, and the sloppy end of the season in Tampa Bay and decided to call it quits. I won't be surprised...

With a standard subscription, you pay a monthly sub and get to access all the content outside of full expansion packs. The only additional RMT is usually just cosmetics or stuff like server xfers, level boosts, race changes, etc. With F2P or Buy-to-Play, you usually see a couple approaches...

There is a big difference between “pay entry fee and play” and “pay to do anything on an itemized basis because our gameplay encourages players to do this” The later tends to be more predatory in a lot of situations

“No negativity” in that type of setting doesn’t mean all smiles and rainbows, it means “bring solutions / improvements” It’s easy to point out flaws, but without solutions, it isnt always constructive. It’s harder to bring up solutions or improvements to said flaws, but if the idea is sound...

The problem is PvP has always been a small subset of this game. To be sure a passionate one, but still a small one. The story mostly served to support a reason for pvp, because they wanted “war” in Warcraft and could only envision a player vs player war apparently. Now you have a situation...

They should just rename if the Tom Brady trophy at this point

This is another annoyance in their story telling - the need to constantly hit the Horde vs. Alliance reset button like it is a old sitcom resetting consequences between episodes. All the possessed Anduin shit makes me feel like their storybeat will be a) Anduin becomes fucked up from the...

The new patch does a few things wrong. Mutators have a bad mechanic - if your average gearscore is below a certain threshhold, then you do dogshit damage and mitigate like shit. So essentially if forces you to run the GS treadmill to even be able to attempt the new dungeons if you aren't...

Having an Incubus option is fine, that was a common request going back to the 2000s. They just never felt the need to add one until they felt like it would get them bonus social credit points

I suspect S3 will be more about Mandalorian politics/power struggle as a result. I mean don’t forget he barely did any bounty work in S2, beyond jobs that came up while moving Grogu around.

Because sometimes fans can make a good product. A better example is hiring a car enthusiast to help design a car. Sometimes the enthusiast knows just enough about what makes a car work to help design a good one, even if they aren’t engineers. They know what works and what doesn’t, and can...

Was that something Anakin flew or just a random Naboo ship? I do agree that basically a Mando episode you can’t go wrong with. It’s smart really, keeps people excited for a season 3

Smith was great - although Amy and Rory helped tremendously in that regard. They’re probably my favorite Doctor + companion grouping

You get an action back, but you still have to reload

Alphi does improve a lot. He basically gets a massive reality check, learns humility, and gets an alpha chad role model to set him on the right path He’s basically a kid in high school at the start that learns lofty ideals and his own self importance amount to little in the real world - he...

Damn, that would be Op on a sniper with the talent that lets them pistol shot everything on screen in a single round

Lost/zombies are easy as fuck if you have rangers with bladestorm

That’s a good theory, because I could see Furor doing that lol survival game could be cool if done right, plus I’m sure they gave leadership a hardon for all the RMT they can charge for cosmetics for base building.

Patch notes. Mostly just potency buffs for various classes. One additional buff which is nice is Dragon Eye for Dragoon has a 30 yard range now. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/9325d2a5dae2ac34b9f970c803848e8fb1c3aaf7

Who gives a fuck what they want to play. I have yet to see a positive opinion from any of them on any type of media unless it’s from the 90s or earlier

The book and show are pretty close in terms of adaptation. You could pick up book 7 and still follow along just fine. The biggest changes you would find are 1) Alex is still alive 2) Drummer in the show is a combo of Drummer and a belter pirate named Michio Pa. In the books, both characters...

Who knows, but I suspect they couldnt find a balance between those two things without making the "job" thing completely optional. It sort of sounded like their idea was City of Heroes, but you have to be Clark Kent for half of the in-game day.

Project Titan, from what has been revealed, was going to be like part-action game, part-life sim or whatever. Like you would work a job during the day or whatever, then at night become a hero or whatever. It's one of things that sounds cool on paper, but they could never make it "fun" and the...

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Activision side of the house was mostly to blame for this. They probably thought "Hey, we sucker morons into buying a new Call of Duty title every year or two, let's do the same for OW and make money!"

You mean like the Hearst newspaper monopoly?

It was both - you could record and watch your own, or watch others. The main character was addicted to reliving memories of his time with a past love.

It was profitable for Blizzard so long as they found suckers willing to buy team slots for the league lol

Going f2p before they fix all the issues (assuming they can be fixed) is a recipe of further failure.
