Even if you never heard of TESO, presumably you've heard of The Elder Scrolls. That alone generates interest. You hear "New World" MMO and your first thoughts are probably "what the fuck is this, a Pilgrim Simulator?"

TESO has brand recognition, though. New World is some “Great Value” level IP, so your ability to draw players will be purely a result of how good your actual game is

They’re probably all libertarians

Just in general there are a few categories I notice at grocery stores: 1) The “I just need 1 thing” people who then grab a shopping cart once inside 2) The “if I walk confidently and pretend I didn’t see the line” people who just try to waltz in 3) The people wearing yoga pants and a threadbare...

Yes, because wind turbines and solar power cause gas and water lines to freeze

It’s very sandbox. You can shoot/fight stuff, or trade if you want. You can find derelict ships and explore them, or do quests. Explore, build bases, mine resources to use or trade, look for exotic craft, build a star fleet

Side note, winter coats online seem to be getting sparse. I am assuming impacted areas are buying them all up

Dumpster diving in Portland due to power outages https://www.masslive.com/news/2021/02/portland-police-officers-guard-fred-meyer-dumpsters-face-off-with-residents-seeking-discarded-food.html

Pretty small at only 400KM, though. Haven't they hypothesized a much larger planet out there?

Watch some specific scenes of her in Carnival Row and you'll find a new appreciation for her ;)

The real question: Does the anime have a player spam pinging you when you die and saying "GG" over and over 4 minutes into the game?

good breakdown, I missed a lot of the details

Ya, unless they start seeing caravans of people dicing up the forest and carting out tons of wood, they probably won’t care or won’t notice it.

I mean the biggest twist is the alien seems to like some of the people, but still plans to exterminate mankind lol

Without electricity people get bored lol

There is a difference between food you can eat without cooking vs stuff you gotta cook. Plus this isn’t emergency starvation levels yet, so much of it could be “I want something decent to eat” vs slapping some canned tuna on crackers

Sure, you get some assholes who bust kids with lemonade stands, but common sense let’s young kids do shit like mowing lawn/sell lemonade/shovel snow for money I used to do that as a kid. $5-10 bucks to shovel a walk way was a lot of money to a kid in the 80s

He has to get his anti-virtue signaling quota in apparently

Once ice is thick, you’re fucked without a lot of manual labor or ice melters. Even if you have a specialized ice chopping tool, it’s really hard to get rid of thick ice unless the sun starts to help. Usually you try to chip pits down to the pavement, so the sun can start to warm that surface...

Dunno about parties, but I would not be shocked if the death involved an overdose. The motel/hotel was fairly close to area he lived apparently based on those news articles.

Ya, that was pretty much explained in season 1. The massive amount of Jesus at the Easter party was the biggest representation of that.

Basically think of it as a modern MMO: You can basically solo through most of it and really only need to group up for boss fights (basically world bosses, completely optional although Scorch Beast Queen is tied to a main story quest). However, I would recommend you join a public group while...

When you live in an area of the country where that is a non-issue, it does put into perspective how those sorts of things have to be constructed with that in mind. Like below ground basements. They're pretty much mandatory in the north, but you get surprised that basements aren't universal...

People really do underestimate how a car drives in snow if they aren’t used to it. One reason why I always get manual transmission, snow driving is far far easier when you have more direct control over shifting and being able to quickly put into neutral

Most times when blackouts are happening during ice/snow storms, it’s because a tree fell on a line somewhere or some jackass crashed into a pole, not because of power generation issues.

There is for sure opportunities. One thing they have been trying to solve for is cheap means of capturing energy to release during demanding times. They aren’t a fix all and you always do want a diverse energy portfolio: renewables are cheap, but non-renewables can help during less than...

So once in a century event is your basis for what is otherwise fairly cheap power to mitigate overall energy costs? That is like saying hydroelectric dams are shit because a super drought hits a state that usually doesn’t deal with that condition and didn’t build their dam to account for...

Oversimplification. Our electricity grids are ancient and do a very poor job of load management and power routing during unexpected demand spikes, regardless as to where the power is being sourced from

That mention about kid races, at a fan fest in Japan, some guy asked Yoshi P if they would add options to play as a child in future and you could tell Yoshi was thinking “lol da fuck?” and gave his diplomatic answer amounting to never Game does have Lalafels, but those are basically just potatoes

Holden is basically lawful good paladin

As an aside, masks are actually kind of nice in cold weather. Cold dry air does a number on me, so I would try to wrap a scarf or one of those pull down fleece things that covers your lower face. But they would always shift or sometimes be too warm. A decent cloth mask helps retain some of...

EQ1 fights pretty much all followed the same pattern: Find the safe spots to dodge AOEs/hide your healers and squishies, figure out the tank swaps, deal with the x-factor (knockback, poisons, mana drains, etc). The strategy usually was much harder to crack than the actual execution...

Regarding Chappelle, he more or less admitted in the past that he felt a lot of pressure during when his show was at its peak. He recounted some interaction he had with Richard Pryor where Pryor was basically "passing the crown" to him and that, combined with the drama on the show and all the...

Funny how lots of the uber guild monks seemed to have ultimate peaks gearwise in Velious. I was probably legit one of the most geared monks in all of EQ during Velious as well (Only sleeper robe on server, every single monk Vulak loot, AOW pants). As for pulls, I was a good puller, but I had...

Considering they are supposedly working on a Fantastic Four movie, I wouldn't be surprised if they tease that in some regard as the aerospace engineer angle. They're already presumably going to use this show to tease Doctor Strange 2, and they've started to dip their toes into the X-Men pool.

A PVP game having too many skills to manage is shit design. Clicking isn't practical and you shouldn't have to play Dance Dance Revolution with your fingers over the entirety of your keyboard.

Commercial is the darkest by far. Slogan was "Snack for survivors", but the kid wasn't a survivor and thus couldn't eat the 'yo-magic' and died. So it could mean a bunch of things: 1) Her survivor's guilt (ie, Pietro died because he didnt have magic, but she did because of her magic) 2)...

Wondering if the witness thing even amounts to anything beyond just a vehicle to get Agent Woo’s character there

Episode at least answers our question about certain things existing outside the hex. Monica is def going to become Photon also after that bit about her cells and the ct scans bring just a bright screen
