    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    That's what cracks me up about SC taking itself to incredibly seriously. I would've preferred the answer, "You hear explosions in space because fuck you, that's why." As for the anti-grav stuff, I can only assume that anti-grav requires less energy than maintaining rotational momentum in a...

    For my wife's next labor I'm going to make something that will play the first 0 to 3:20 on repeat until my next kid is birthed.

    Fallout Shelter android/iphone

    Have a pretty good shelter, 109 or so residents. I have a bunch of max level buildings. For me the game has gotten to the level where the only thing to do is find cool stuff in the wasteland which requires you to have high SPECIAL, high level survivors so they can survive for 60+ hours outside...

    It's true, games with more complex mechanics and tools to use for large scale PvP are more challenging in that they require us to step up our game and be more thoughtful with our tactics and strategy. However, it also gives an immense advantage to big organized PvP guilds that accomplish that...

    If the campaigns are as large as I think I actually think that choosing campaigns will be a great source of tribulation within guilds and alliances as well as for opponents. Historically PRX has carefully chosen the toughest servers to play on, but I don't think that will be a real option for...

    Cain is a better fight than Arvloski and Rothwell. And the odds on the fight will be higher. I think when you beat a champ like Cain, you really have to beat him twice and that's ok. If there was some great new fighter in line that everyone wants to see fight the stable of heavyweight...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I'm sure they can use one of those tropes where he finds the interceptor in a mangled mess, loads it on a flatbed, saves a group of people in the end of the first act, then the start of the third act is them surprising him by totally and magically restoring it.

    That's true and it's a good point because it's not usually the real world-beaters talking shit on the forums. It's the pissants and sideline jockeys who haul out the bullshit. We've made a legacy of enduring the shit talk and responding ingame, and with servers we can only respond to our own server!

    Vinen, I agree with your sentiment that refactoring (or any change to the code) can add regression defects. That's why I generally prefer to refactor only when I need to do major work in a component. Ex: I'm tasked with porting a set of motor controller code from a previous code base into a new...

    I was disappointed nothing much happened with it when it comes back later. I feel like they kind of set it up to make a triumphant return in a future film.

    Maybe. The SA forum is much less populated these days, and we've fought the Goon Squad in several PvP MMOs (Not Eve though!) and they haven't been an immense or even insiduous force like some people treat them. I treat them with the same respect I treat any large and aggressive guild, but they...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Doesn't look far from a ~13 year old Ned Stark. I wonder what scene they'll have him be in. I'm betting that SEan Bean could do the tower of joy scene np. Them casting twins is probably for child-actor reasons, but could re-ignite the very silly meera reed = jon snow's sister theories!!

    One thing that will mitigate this is that trust in a player will be minimal unless that person has been with a group for multiple campaigns. And if you're an agent working for another organization there is a high cost when you have to spend time in campaigns your true organization isn't even in...

    From my experience in a FFA environment communities will solidify into two distinct groups. Who is in each of these two groups will change quickly, but generally there will be two groups. And if the games' rules allow for it and the field is level, once one group gains an upper hand they will...

    Another aspect to campaign length that people don't talk about a lot is that you can make the large-scale PvP rules much more brutal if you're tuned to shorter campaigns. Longevity is built paid with the cost of the winner not being able to obliterate the loser. In a true sandbox PvP...

    If a cryptological currency occurs I really hope it has a dual use. I really hate the idea of future currencies being built upon massive datacenters using electricity for a computational circle jerk. It's like the machine version of finance companies hiring top mathematicians and computer...

    Cities: Skylines

    I want to play this, but only if I hear it has good and challenging gameplay. If my city isn't a pile of shit that goes bankrupt and I get lynched the first 3+ times I try to make it, then it's not enjoyable for me.

    I don't really agree with the idea that Batman's villians are just one part of himself. I think Batman is such a well rounded and complex character with a vast assortment of tools that other mortals he might fight are naturally subsets of him as a consequence, rather than by design. Ex: I...

    IMO, it's preferable to agree on some good practices and have those be the 'gold standard', then to follow Kovaks advice and refactor as you go. The big problem happens when two developers prominently disagree on what those good practices are. Lendarios, I'm trying to ditch the m_ for...

    Nothing they say about that subject matters much right now. They'll probably have a long testing phase and near release we'll see just how important your trophy from the previous season will help you in the next. My guess? It all depends on A: Whether the game is fun enough that people don't...

    That part is a bit inconsistent. Unless some 5 of those 'blades' were actual swords and the rest were steak knives, the Lannisters could've gotten one. There's only a hundred or so real houses in Westeros.

    If it's Tajmar that got leaked this week, he got values in line with others. But he had pretty low Q factors so it wasn't that impressive. From what (little) I understand, the Q factor is the amount of shenanigans going on in the drive, and folks are trying to figure out how to maximize them...
