    The Astronomy Thread

    Give Araysar a break guys. The space program he simps for won't be able to function for much longer due to sanctions, it must be a very stressful time for him

    That works for a one-off, but mudflation becomes real the longer your game goes on

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Yes, but cardiac arrest from what. Cardiac arrest unto itself doesn't mean anything except the heart stopped. Considering he went into a bathroom and then died, wouldn't surprise me if he was using some substance in there

    Avatar: The Last Airbender

    Korra got fucked up a lot during that series. Gets her bending taken away and she almost kills herself, gets crippled in another fight and basically has to rehab her way back to functionality, has her connection to her past lives severed, etc

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Nah. A year or two after WoW launched, and remember trying to go back to EQ1. It felt so antiquated even then

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Peasant monks used ninja stars to pull. Chad monks used abashi nerf stick off Vulak for pulls. That thing had insane range, removed buffs, and couldn’t be resisted

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    City of Heroes used to create new instances of zones when they got too crowded. There was an odd period between velious and pop where they had nerfed fd pulling a bit and SK had some attributes in their kit that let them pull certain things Or maybe that was just Xate being stubborn and...

    Ashes of Creation

    EQ1 showed the issues with non-instance content Euro or Asian guilds killing raid targets when your guild is sleeping / at work A small subset of players essentially dictating the play experience of the rest of the server Ebayers abusing the limited content to make real life money People who...

    The Last of Us

    Teaser does at least show they will be covering some of the main storybeats: before the fall, life in the safe zone, escaping it, etc

    Final Space

    This highlights one of the main issues with the decline of the physical media market: It is significantly easier to essentially erase the availability of media

    Twitch.tv

    That is an apt comparison. Reality TV gave you glimpses into "real" people's lives (mostly scripted, but w/e). Streaming basically pushes that concept even further...you still get those glimpses, but you also get to interact with them in real time

    New World

    In beta they had PvP scaling so PvP was technically viable at all levels, but high levels (rightly) complained that what was the point of getting gear if some level 20 scrub in noob armor can do the same damage as some guy decked out in BIS gear. True normalization scaling would have been a bad...

    New World

    The patch notes mentioned something related to OPR I think. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a minimum GS scaling (ie, if you are sub 600, you get bumped to 600) vs. full normalization

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I would give one piece of advice: Have a good idea on what build you want going in. Respec isn't really viable in this game (it exists but costs a fuckton of money). A lot of weapons and abilities are stat point locked.

    These mostly just seem like voiced quests in the game vs. cutscenes.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I can’t imagine there will be much demand for post wotlk classic. Cataclysm will be meh. Maybe MoP+ Cata combined, but then you’re getting into the past 10 years and nostalgia won’t be as strong It feels like the rose colored goggles fall off post WOTLK

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Only reason I would even half consider playing this is OG Wintergrasp. Literally the only PvP I enjoyed in this game. I loved using the siege engines and gun emplacements

    Ashes of Creation

    New World tried a combo. As expected, players usually Zerg the uninstanced stuff and they had to roll back some of the Zerg penalties because humans are assholes and people would intentionally troll. Like Kazack world boss in WoW “oops, sorry I got in range! I didn’t mean to trigger the...

    Ashes of Creation

    I would argue that non-instanced was less dangerous in highly camped areas, like Sebilis or Lower Guk. It was so fucking camped that you could typically never see a single mob in most areas. The most "danger" was someone training stuff on you. Plus in EQ1, most of the danger was losing a...

    Ashes of Creation

    WoW’s balance was a function of player limits. Like bringing a King’s buff paladin. That paladin was suboptimal and literally all they brought to the table was a raid buff. So another player lost a slot to a mandatory buff bot. Or take class stacking. Remember those raids where they would...

    Ashes of Creation

    Because everyone is a meta chaser now, or because hard content caps how many people you can bring In EQ1, bringing sub-optimal classes on raids was no big deal because you could have like 80 people just zerging But when you are player capped, one DPS class that does 1/3rd the DPS of another...

    Twitch.tv

    Right. Like others have mentioned, Youtube's discoverability for live streaming is total dogshit. It basically uses the same dumb algorithms they use for the regular Youtube videos and recommendations and even if you get to the right area, the UI is pretty suck and makes it hard to even find...

    She looked super familiar when I was watching. Looked her up and realized she played the nerdy witch in Good Omens

    Not really. Maybe like half an episode, then Leia gets kidnapped by cartoony villains and it goes downhill

    Andor

    I watched the first 3 episodes. It feels like a show that could exist independent of the Star Wars IP and still work. That isn't a bad thing in this case, because it feels really different than normal Star Wars shows or films. It feels more gritty/"real", but not in a grimdark way. Like you...

    Reboot

    lol I had forgotten about the reboot of reboot. I never watched it, but apparently it had almost nothing to do with the original show beyond them bringing back Megabyte and Hexidecimal and a brief cameo by Bob, Dot, and Enzo

    Ashes of Creation

    The only people against any instanced pve content were ebayers and Uber guilds that wanted to control everything. As for heavy group required, you need a balance. Too much and people quit from frustration because they can’t make any progress without a group and getting groups is hard. Too...

    Something something drama. Whenever he gets on his main, there are expectations on what he does. Like react content or certain games, people mad he isn’t playing ff14 even though he is relatively close to shadowbringers, etc

    Shroud has even admitted that when he was younger, they used to use your first example when they played online because that was common for gamers to use a lot at the time. Dredging up shit you said 20 years ago as a kid is dumb

    I mean did they use back then, video toaster? Some kid could easily churn out better graphics on their desktop on the cheap if they didn’t need it to be high quality modern cg / Syfy level stuff The expensive part would be practical sets

    Different types and venues of violence, though. I am going to guess the majority of male violence is external to the home where the majority of female violence is domestic

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    WoW2 is unlikely, unless you forced wow1 to shutdown. And dusting off old mmo mechanics isn’t a good idea. New World tried that and bled hundreds of thousands of players. All the “easy travel ruins the game” dopes who fail to realize the novelty of traveling every where slowly gets really old...
