When I was brand new to the game, I used to think the "fallen to the ground" message was the success message for feign death, then I got confused why enemies still killed me lol

That Zarya skin is sick

If had sold at height of Velious, I would have made bank. GM event title, only sleeper robe on server, all 3 vulak monk loots, primals, etc. Not an exaggeration to say I was probably one of the best equipped monks in the game at the time.

We know the record industry is greedy as fuck from prior negotiations and lawsuits with other entities, so reasonable to assume they are trying the same tactics.

EB was sort of the same way in late 90s. If the game was undamaged looking, we would reshrink wrap it and put it back on the shelf. Later on it became trade in only. I used to stop people from returning Everquest though after they installed it and Kept playing it. I had the phone number for...

If they have, they clearly wanted too much. Again, music on Twitch is not a focus for probably 99% of the site, so if the music companies are asking for Youtube level dollars, they are going to be laughed out of the room.

Ya, it's a very sandbox game. You really need to make your own goals or you'll eventually get bored. Trying to find a "perfect" planet with awesome terrain for a base is always a good one. Trying to get a S class freighter that looks good is very hard. I eventually settled for an A-class one...

I remember those days. Our Nintendo rep used to be pretty cool and hooked us up with some semi-decent swag, but that was like 20 years ago. But every now and again the store would get a free game, although the manager at the time would usually take it for themselves...even if they didn't own...

Who the fuck wants to listen to music at a restaurant anyways? Half the time it's generic shit that you can't hear over all the people talking anyways. It's like music in a supermarket. You don't even notice it's there unless it's some annoying ass shit like "ALLLL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, IS...

Right, the biggest difference is usually the music is just playing in the background. Radio, Youtube, Spotify...you're listening to the music primarily and for the non-radio, you can keep listening to it all day. For a stream, they're playing it in the background while talking or playing a...

Maybe they liked the first one and want to decide on their own if the sequel will be good?

i don’t see that happening, because then game companies would want a piece and that -would- impact the bottom line. Let’s be honest, music is usually just fluff in most of these streams. You could more easily jettison music than actual core content, so I see that as more likely vs them paying...

Game companies also have no reason to shut down streamers. They do have an impact on sales. I've lost count of the number of games I bought because some streamer I was watching was playing it and it looked like a decent game. Hell, that is how I got into FFXIV.

Right, the music industry is still locked mentally in the "radio" era. They've only tepidly embraced new media when pretty much forced to.

Apparently the pre-game lobby has a bug where it treats everyone there as teams in Warzone Rumble. It basically makes it so you can damage some players and not others.

"AI" Algorithms they use for DCMA strikes or image censorship on Instagram are dumb as fuck, both in concept and execution.

That is what fan fiction is for lol

I was obsessed with "After Man" by Dougal Dixon as a kid. It was a a zoology book of how animals might evolve if humans went extinct. It took the premise of most domesticated things or large fauna not living much past the era of man, and things like rats or birds or rabbits and the like...

The issue you all have are corporations being treated like "people", which essentially makes them immortal entities, and using their armies of lawyers to squeeze money out of people. Keep in mind corporations are the ones who pushed for copyright changes to begin with, to make it harder for...

didn’t shipment 24/7 get removed?

Rights to IP should remain with the creator, though. Look at it this way for issues with the dumb “10 year idea” 1) you write an awesome story, but no one really notices it 2) 10 years later, company makes it into a movie and takes in millions 3) creator gets jack shit because short ass...

Corporations would win out because they still have armies of lawyers, so your 10 year proposal would only hurt the little guy. Struggling writer? Struggling musician? Only have 10 years then big corps can steal your shit and make more money than you.

Compared to GOT Season 8 says it all lol

Hiroshima was just a single uranium bomb with (relatively) low yield that airburst, though, so hard to compare that to modern nuclear weapons. Modern total nuclear war exchange doctrine is pretty much: High-atmo detonation to create EMP, followed up by strikes on in order - Leadership...

Premise seems to be explore the ruins of the west coast and some army is capturing the peaceful robo-animals to be war machines. I'm guessing it is the "forbidden west" because that is where there is some FARO shit maybe?

Ya, I've read a lot about how the Nuclear Winter theory was overestimating the impact on global temperatures. The more impactful elements would be the radioactivity and overall destruction of infrastructure (also factoring in the EMP bursts that would fuck up non-shielded electronics)

Presuming you mean west is fucked, eastern part gets it later. But NA as a whole would be dicked, since Canada and Mexico would feel immediate impacts as well. Plus if you look at historical ash covers, the entire midwest US would potentially get buried in deep ashfall and combined with strong...

lol wut. Ice Age megafauna (fuck, megafauna in general) was wiped out by humans mostly with advanced hunting techniques. Neanderthals were already on their way out 13k years ago. They also aren’t our ancestors. They were basically our closest living relative. The only ancestor aspect you could...

Around 70k years ago. There was a larger one like 2mya and a few hundred thousand years ago.

Chuk, the super volcano has erupted multiple times. It’s not a world ender. And ya, the magmatraps were a sustained event over millions of years, which is worse. It’s the difference between one big eruption that happens and ends vs. something that keeps going and going and going...

There are other undocumented changes. Apparently, the locked bunker now has a mini gun you can use as a gun inside it lol and they also added a nuclear missile, but thus far the missile appears to be for looks. It would be pretty lol if they decide to add nuke mechanics like they do in the...

This game does seem to have a lot of bloat. This game finally dethroned WoW as game taking up the biggest amount of space on my HD lol

Nuclear Winter is real, but realistically the countries that would have a full nuclear exchange would be in the Northern hemisphere, so most of the effects would be more pronounced there.

The events are supposed to be mid-game, so it shouldn't happen in the final circles. I think they said it can happen between the first circle and before the Gulag closes.

Patch notes up https://www.infinityward.com/news/2020-06/MW_Patch_Notes_June_10 Thoughts: 1) I like the new events. Some dumb shits on reddit are crying, because they aren't thinking it through. -Jailbreak is what is having people crying. One of the 3 events that can happen is everyone who...

Water in this game is pretty much lava for all intents and purposes, so I wonder if the currently empty river beds/etc will become impassible moats save for the bridges

You're vastly overestimating the impact of such an eruption on a global scale. Yellowstone already has erupted in the past. In fact, in some cases so recently that humans were on the planet and larger mega eruptions when hominids were around. They've actually found geologic evidence of the...

Well, Lee legit had problems because of that in the 60s/etc, so you do have to address it.

Ya. The thermite damage isn’t the greatest vs vehicles as opposed to an actual thermite grenade, but the fire effect is good for ensuring the person goes down if you score a hit on their body. Gas ones are great for smoking out campers also lol
