That's adorable that you think humanity hasn't been carried by the few in spite of the dumb masses fucking things up throughout human history, like this is some new thing.

You'd be hard pressed to find many Filip fans from the books either. Some people tried to argue that Peaches was in the same category, but it's apple/oranges (or peaches if you like) Peaches: Kills some innocent people to frame Holden. I forget the ship death count, but it wasn't massive...

So basically Strange Days?

The disarmed warhead? Pretty sure that was in the books

Realistically it will come down to main factors for the population at large 1) Price 2) Safety 3) Benefit But even before we get there, all that rests on us understanding the brain. There is still so much we don't know about the brain, our mind, etc. I think until we fully understand it and...

It shouldn't be mutually exclusive, though. That is just bad game design to shoehorn someone into some ultra specialized role that brings nothing to the table except a raid buff, even if that person likes it. Even if they brought in other abilities to buff other buffs, then you get into a...

I thought the wookie was security and had caught the aliens cheating. Nope, he was just salty and wanted to kill some folks lol

I doubt directly. But I was presume that his direct reports, and their direct reports, and so on and so forth felt pressure from the top and that manifested. They had a lot of investment tied up in OW/OWL and it (was) pretty profitable at its peak.

Auroth was Winter Wyvern. Kaden's connection with Crystal Maiden also makes it seem like he is Sven. I mean, people had thought he might be Sven because his signature weapon was a big ass sword, but him being all chummy with her makes that possible identity even more strong.

Right. Kings buff for Paladins was a prime example - pick shitty talents that barely improve your character just to get Kings that was all but mandatory for raids. No one wanted to be the kings buff paladin. That was like being the enchanter that would cast tash and instantly die to the...

Reminds me of that chapter in World War Z where they talk about trying to rebuild the west coast and all the trades people basically become the new top earning kings of society and a lot of white collar workers have to do manual labor because they have no valuable skills in that situation- like...

All I remember from Karate Kid 3 is they dropped some ancient Bonzai tree into the ocean and spent like half the movie trying to save it

You needed cross server group matching because a) too many servers b) too much server imbalance. They didnt want to merge servers overtly.

LFR didn't ruin anything - basically was a way for super casuals to see content. Where they went wrong is they had way, way too many difficulty tiers Skill trees in WoW were always an illusion of choice - unless you ran a couple specs, you were just gimping yourself Spec swap button was fine...

Fixed. Riot will probably be looking a lot at FF14, not just WoW. 14 is a lot better at catch-up mechanics and providing a good mix of solo and group stuff

The IP alone are worth quite a bit.

Microsoft owns Actiblizzard Microsoft owns Bethesda Inb4 doom, fallout, Skyrim crossovers with WoW

There was some mega gap between when he started MSQ and started doing it regularly. I think he tried it during the queue apocalypse then decided to wait a few weeks

The best analogy I've heard is Lion Dude (Battlebeast) showing up at that fight is like a street thug bringing Thanos to a back alley brawl. He peaced out when he didnt get the challenge he wanted. He probably didnt know about Omniman. As for Invincible, they're basically Saiyans so think...

Besides being a popular trope, it also isn’t that much out of the realm of realism. If you traveled to Earth at different times in its history, you’d literally find an ice planet (ice ball Earth theory), a swamp planet (Carboniferous period), a mostly desert/arid planet (Permian/Triassic...

He probably got an extra long ban because he was a storyskipping booster in FF14 then complained the game sucked when he died in a raid

Wendys has always done square burgers

They aren't going to rewater Tattoonie lol

Book spoilers re: dogs

Jessica Jones season 1 was solid - the villain really carried it. S2 kinda sucked. Luke Cage season 1 is pretty decent until like midway through, then it becomes shitty. S2 kinda sucked also. Punisher standalone was kind of ok. Punisher shows up in S2 of Daredevil and was a pretty badass...

EQ1 let me literally fall asleep while pulling flurry drakes in NToV, then I woke up hours later surrounded by various corpses and the raid gone. Witcher 3 didn’t have that!

I thought it was great. This is how the 6th book ends. It’s a good pause point. Ya, it’s frustrating we may not see resolution of Laconia or ring entities, but they did a great adaptation There is no way they could shoe horn in 3 additional books into a truncated season. It’s also clear...

True. It removed the inevitable bargaining for who would go tank or healer. I recall solo queuing for some comp games and people literally spending the entire pre-match trying to get people to swap roles.

Toxicity is a problem, but I do agree he overblew its importance in the game's decline. As for the complaint about premades only for comp mode being dumped, that is tricky. Given the game was teams of 6, it would have been very difficult to keep a stable roster of 6 people to run comp with for...

Scooter gang was dumb, but I did like the Rancor. They seem to be hinting we will see a battle rancor later with Boba wanting to learn to ride one. The Hutts basically selling out the Wookie was predictable and will probably fit into my previous “saved = loyalty” post about the underlying...

I disagree with one of his points: from the getgo, it was clear this was a moba model. He talks about it like it was a bait and switch that went from shooter to moba all of a sudden. Anyways, main cause of decline is simple: it got stale. They never really shook up the gameplay, people got...

Ya I ignore the maps unless I’m in the actual zone

I mean they waited so long to do a follow up, no surprise it’s gonna be a full reboot.

Direct VoD dumps usually don’t get many views. Editing takes time and money. If the time+money part exceeds what you get back in as dollars, then it isn’t worth it

It’s about control. Usually that type of mentality is insecure, so they weaponize that insecurity to “prevent” the loss they are insecure about. They don’t want to leave, they want to control the situation on their own terms. It’s basically emotional terrorism: meet my demands or suffer the...

Preach was entertaining to watch. He got to the Fae and got his Scottish wife to do the voices lol

It wouldn’t. The most EQ like MMO to come out in terms of tone recently was New World and 90% of the population peaced out

Someone call the RIPD, someone resurrected a ghost
