Ugh wtf?

That sounds a lot better. Having your legendary sword explode because you rolled a 40 instead of a 41 or higher always felt like bullshit. When I was getting ready to quit Archeage, I decided to try my luck on my sword. Added a charm and good scroll, hit upgrade, thing blew up. That removed...

Ya, the one where he is with Bashir and they land on that planet that is being overrun by Klingons and they are working in the medical backline area seeing all sorts of war injuries. That was a good episode. Bashir gets knocked down by a mortar and Jake just runs off afraid and leaves him for...

I'll buy Anthem 2.0 if it turns out to be a good game with meaningful progression and a fun gameplay loop.

It's just a bad mechanic overall, especially with the p2w charms and scrolls. It just turns good equipment into a lottery vs. something you can realistically work towards. The economy was also fucked in Archeage. You had the super expensive good stuff, then shittier stuff below that with...

lol ok? Anyways, what I took from the blog was: Looter shooters need to make sure there is enough good cheese so the mice keep running the treadmill, so we are improving that.

I tried to come back, couldn’t remember what any of my skills did / find out combat was completely changed. Then I logged out lol

Except they do a shit job of it. FFXIV at least makes you feel like a badass main character with a supporting cast. WoW makes you a main character until it isn’t plot convenient.

They’d call it off if weather was an issue. Water landing with chutes is your only real option. lots of wiggle room and no risk of drifting into houses/trees/etc

Character from website, since the website predates the comic I believe

lol hardly. How many times did we all watch shit like Goonies or Indiana Jones? It’s always been that way

Nice. That always pissed me off...I would hit what felt like dead center and they would just boop safely to the side.

AA later added obsidian gear where gear improve was a guaranteed and incremental process, but it still paled compared to the RNG/p2w stuff.

Jake and Nog got better later in the run. Nog really grew as a character. Jake I don't think they ever really knew what to do with beyond "I'm a writer/reporter now".

HBO used to show the same fucking movies every day it felt like back in the 80s. We all watched the same stuff over and over back then also lol

If they make the Compound V origin the same as the comics, that would make sense. She could be the grand daughter of some Nazi scientist that got scooped up in Operation Paperclip, but he continued to work on the compound in secret.

Ya, the Killdozer was a homemade tank he had put a lot of thought and time into. Thing was insanely armored too because he was using concrete and shit to fortify it.

Depends on the streamer. Some can carry a stream without music.

Officially renewed for a 3rd season

Heh, music is fucked on Twitch now. Record labels win again

Quake is in the comics, so pretty easy to reintroduce her to a new audience. I wonder if the finale for this will setup a new show? All the time fuckery ends up with them in a new timeline which ends up being the main MCU timeline. This would allow them to handwave away stuff like Thanos snap...

I think only the US has successfully landed on Mars thus far? Failure rate for Mars missions is fairly high across all missions over all, esp non-US

Because choices must matter!!! and they want eternal grinds

SF in the comics is a literal WW2 nazi. I doubt she is that, but they still might give a nod to the comic origin I bet.

Ya, Daisy going super saiyan was nice, but she probably would have destroyed the entire base with everyone inside it.

Archeage had the “upgrade weapons to a certain point, then they have a chance of downgrading or blowing up”. The game maker sold charms and scrolls that slightly reduced the chance of failure, making it p2w RNG. It sounds like he wants the same bullshit, but without the p2w aspect. It’s like...

Do you still have to collect 1 million linen on Alliance side like in the old days?

Ya, if you look at the specs for it, it's fairly barebones. It's only designed to fly for around 90 seconds per day. Mars team basically plots a flight path, the thing runs it on its own, then they can examine the results later. But if this is successful or they learn a lot from it, future...

It's a good proof of concept. Even if it fails or doesn't last long, what they will learn from it will help them develop improvements. The air on Mars is so damn thin, your options are limited for maneuverable craft. Helicopter blade-style drones have been tested a lot on Earth already and...

They used to show the ST:Animated Series on Nickelodeon back in the 80s. That's probably the last time I watched that show, although I never got as much into it as I did TNG during that era. Then DS9 came out and I remember all the kids in school were excited because TNG was really popular...

I quit mostly around the Savior war. I just got bored of the show and wasn’t invested anymore.

They did reuse a lot of battle shit, although that was in part due to budget cuts Female changling gave up because Odo was going to rejoin the link in exchange for stopping the war and the war was a lost cause at that point. To her, the prize of Odo returning to the link was much better than...

Isn't that the Commonwealth? The showrunners confirmed the upcoming seasons are going to start focusing on bringing that into the awareness of the show.

You'd be surprised how many people who live in developed countries don't fully understand nutrient requirements, because they typically have easy access to it and almost never want for it. You don't hear of many people dying from scurvy or iodine deficiencies in the US.

Vic felt like a cash in on the popularity of Voyager’s Doctor to be sure. Show had the whole Kira Odo thing going all 7 seasons, so not like it came out of nowhere. S7 has some amazing episodes, though. Like the Siege episode and the finale was great.

That was hilarious. Wolf spider strolls out like a T Rex and murders them all.

What didn’t you like about DS9 season 7? Ezri?

Karen would have been a great Mara Jade, but she’s under the Marvel tent which is a big commitment. Plus Jumanji if they make a 3rd one.

Hopefully it isn’t a Defiance 2050 scam where it was the same game in the end
