There are immense differences between beliefs that are demonstrable and those that aren't.

Looking at making more usage of my deck this year. what methods do you folks use to stop mosquitos? I don't have any standing water near my house. I'm looking for maximum mosquito destruction for exp grinding reasons, so I'm thinking an army of bats or some kind of propane trap system...

I just realized how hungry I was and how long it's been since I ran.

I'm a scientist because I cooked a few steaks at different times and measure their flavor, and an athlete because I used locomotion to walk around the kitchen while doing it. I'm also a childhood psychologist because I repeated my toddler's babblespeak while cooking.

We'll be in it long term. The 'end-game PvE' is more about coordinating to know about and then eviscerate bosses before everyone else shows up than it is about killing bosses skillfully. We have a pretty good setup where we work with some other guilds to learn about and then prioritize boss...

The question is whether taking accurate measurements and building as clean and deterministic an experiment as possible is science or engineering. Truth is, it's both: You're engineering good science!

Came to post that. Completely outlandish even if it's a small #. I can't think of a single other MMO that has used this mechanic from D&D. However, people are saying that if you take a hit on HP, you get "hidden stats" boosted:

I agree with this.

The problem I have with this is how broad it is. Me using this method to figure out the probabilistic impact of gear bonuses on Accuracy in Black Desert Online doesn't make me a scientist. Me trying to figure out why my internet is cutting out by swapping out every piece of hardware I can...

I understand the similarities, but the differences manifest themselves in very important, domain specific ways. When engineers are required to tread into the grounds of the theoretical, many have difficulty properly evaluating ideas. They're used to building and improving systems based on...

I think they blew up my IPT account since I lost my amazing ratio after AT&T blocked my ability to seed their trackers or something. Any good competitor to IPT? TPB has been done this whole weekend.

Probably. I'd absolutely love to see us get to Mars btw. If nothing else it'd be an incredible accomplishment just like getting to the moon was.

I wouldn't say you need a Ph.D to be called a scientist, but nearly all scientists do. The path of formal education is climbing up to the shoulders of giants. The dissertation is merely the act of finally peeking your head over their shoulder. What a lot of people not in the field don't know...

Not to my knowledge. There's just the PRX guild.

I think the primary disagreement between us is that you see planetary colonization as the primary method of off-earth colonization. I see it as a secondary colonization to colonizing large asteroids and space stations. If we spent the 500 billion or whatever it'd take to colonize Mars with a...

Finally caught up. I'm really like season 4 so far, though I hope they rescue Job asap. Him getting the hose again every day for two years is too much to bear. I'm glad they killed off Rebecca, whiny Husband and did a soft-kill of whiny Husband's wheezy son. He was like Walter White's son...

Cannae's superconducting lab is up and running: Cannae's superconducting test lab is up and running | Cannae (Note the Cannae and EM drive are considered crack pot ideas by the physics community)

Would it really be like that? Rugged pioneers subsisting on whatever they can scrounge up deep in the bountiful American forest? Being helped by local natives? Because I think it'll be closer to William Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev. Three dudes sitting in a cold bunker...

Could we? With our current tech? I feel like discussions about colonization is currently a fantasy.

. You expecting people to stay on Mars for many years? . What's the specific value of that? What will we learn that we don't know already? . Is it really? Or is it a boondoggle where rushing it before there's merit just be an obstacle that will prevent us from going when there is a reason? ...

If you still have the enjin account that you used to register, no. Just make a post here: http://www.prx-guild.com/forum/m/161...894-bdo-access

Just want to rant quickly, the guild system in this game was interesting but is turning out to be really annoying. I like the idea of progressing as a guild and earning some income that can be used to great effect, but the contract system is a complete waste. People get some ~30k a day from the...

So we're talking 24 for 2016 and maybe 32 in the next few years? I remember when X-Wing Alliance had hundreds of ships in one area. In 1999. I understand that SC is targeting a different experience and that the server load in it is very different than X-Wing Alliance, but when EVE can...

I don't get the desire for people to build colonies on barren worlds. Let's say we have a mars colony, what does it do that another ISS does not?

What's the number of ships that can be supported now? Or the targeted number?

fine. fine. I'll trudge through it.

The Vanera landers and their lens caps crack me up. I can feel their frustration with it.

You're right, what the fuck am I talking about.

The idea of being in an inflated habitat seems frightening. Now if there's a pressurization leak you won't only be suffocated but will be squeezed to death as well. Or something.

For some reason Daum made the game as difficult for their servers as possible by encouraging people to be logged in 100% of the time AFK. That combines with their encouragement of every player having some 10+ workers running around the map. Fortunately server stability seems pretty high.

Don't we love the Abyss everyone? We don't do brigades anymoreRerolled has the best brigades.

Save your money and buy a ghillie suit instead. Expect to drop another $20 on buying pets to pick up your loot, and then another few bucks to buy bank expansions / strength increases. Luckily you don't need to continue to p2w after that.

Oh, and I really wish they'd remove the ghillie suit. I thought I was done with fighting anonymous enemies when I uninstalled ESO, but here we are.

I haven't seen any bots or hackers. Like Sabbat says wealth is totally illiquid. I'm sure some players are making macro's / bots, but that's for personal gain rather than a gold farming operation. I have to imagine that map hacks exist in this game. With the ghillie suit it'd be very useful...

This is a dead horse in Dark Souls but I got annoyed with the graffiti and think getting coop help for bosses is like getting help from your wallet to help your sex life by buying hookers. The PvP mechanic is kind of fun and interesting, but PvP in Dark Souls lame in general. I found...

If they did I would just think that Daenarys hit a huge growth spurt and is now a gangly 12 year old boy.

If I moved this into Other Games someone would probably not look for it and make a new game here. What's funny is the number of traditional MMO guilds who are really looking forward to playing SC competitively. Nobody knows how SC's online gaming will play out, but one thing that seems firm...

There's some real cost savings there because they can just put a wig and some lip and eyebrow injections on the leftover 12 year old boy lineup.

Yeah not going to sit through 6 more episodes of this bullshit. I'd rather just watch a Trump, Cruz and Hillary rally for my demagoguery, political backstabbing and conniving bitch fix.

Could be bullshit but leaked info is blaming MS xbox controllers. Note that an oculus representative denied it. This is what went wrong with the launch - insider confession : oculus
