Country also changes it a lot. China and Europe seem to be more in the 1984 direction, whereas the US leans more heavily in the Neuromancer direction.

The ARR/Vanilla MSQ trim will be post 5.1, so I wouldn't expect that until next year at the earliest.

Once you get used to the systems in the game, it is pretty straight forward. You can totally play as a casual player and get lots of enjoyment from the game. The community in this game is also pretty friendly to new people and are willing to help out if you have questions.

If they were doing it. Which leads to a couple conclusions: 1) No one out there is capable of doing it 2) We're assuming these are "inevitable" apex developments, but the reality is they aren't Honestly it could be a little of 1 and 2, but trying to assume stuff like Dyson Spheres and Shkadov...

New housing wards in 5.1....wards 19 through 21 to be added. Initial plot sales will be restricted to FC only, unless you relocate, in which case you can upgrade w/o the lockout.

I agree that it would be hard. There was an interesting TV special a while back that put forth a scenario where a pulsar is observed heading towards Earth and we have 80 years before it gets here. The governments of the world agree to basically pool all their resources to make a gigantic...

Although when you look at those numbers, that is a pretty insane period of time for a species. Homo Sapiens have only been around for a hundred thousand years, give or take. Advanced hominids for a few million years. There are species on Earth that have been around for timescales like that...

Well going to jail in the game usually was a slap on the wrist...I recall players would use exploits or find the key to escape pretty damn fast, so the PKs didn't stay there long.

lol Morgan Webb was at TwitchCon this past weekend. Looking pretty good still at 41.

The mini-series Mars on NatGeo channel was a pretty good idea of what a long term habitation would look like.

I used to love voting guilty on all the PKs/griefers and watch them get pissed

So finale was last night

Ya, those new player quests give you some good gear. The MSQ will pretty much make sure you hit the major stuff (grand companies, getting a mount, etc).

This one? Sorta. The "grounded" MK short on Youtube was basically a fan made movie to try to drum up excitement/investment in such a project. Warner Bros eventually I think hired him to make some web episodes (MK: Legacy) to serve as a leadup to the MK reboot earlier this decade. They...

There is a big difference between cleavage and shoving cucumbers inside you. Because of the idiotically worded FOSA law, many large companies are censoring shit that even hints at “sex work” (aka nudity).

Naval battles were so damn fun in the game. I used to be a regular cannon gunner on a naval crew in the game during events. Plus you could do shit like lasso the pilot off the wheel and fuck with sails/anchors

Right, a civilization that has completely exhausted/is close to exhausting all local resources basically has to look elsewhere or die/risk collapse. So if we look at vast timescales, eventually you have to look outside your solar system, although such a move with limited speed would be more...

So basically pull a FFXIV? Don’t see it happening

But it wouldn't be practical to expand with that level of tech in most cases if the lifeform has a limited lifespan on par with a human, plus it would require engineering technology that could deal with centuries of deep space travel without support. It's not impossible, but neither is rowing...

You're right, it just takes one. But on a cosmic scale, you need more data. You can't draw a conclusion with 50 years of extremely limited data/observational capabilities out of billions. A civilization could have been hypothetically beaming transmissions to us for 5,000 years, but if those...

Fitting the official song of the Bad Place is the "Kars for Kids" song lol

Just check out FFXIV. People go nuts for housing then (myself included) and it creates a massive gold sink in the game. FFXIV needs to increase the furniture budget...I capped out at 400/400 and still need more. So long as they implemented a fully functional decoration system (I want Z, Y...

Plus you have to factor in moving past radio eventually. Even in The Expanse, they start to use laser "tight beam" communication over radio. And that doesn't even get into possible modes of quantum communication. Radio is potentially a stepping stone, but it doesn't mean it continues to get...

We’ve been to the moon is the point. We haven’t stayed long, but we’ve put boots there. While the moon and Mars have some basic similarities in terms of long term habitation, they’re also extremely different to the point where moon isn’t a required precursor to Mars

In theory vs practicality. If they are a limited life span species, then your only options are a) stasis tech b) artificial augmentation (ie, cyborgs c) generation ships. In all scenarios, there has to be a strong drive to basically abandon your life as you know it and everyone you know (or to...

Baine will be the warchief. They've focused on him a lot this expansion, so he is the obvious choice. Of course, Blizzard will want to "subvert expectations" and make Gallywix warchief or w/e lol

It's also difficult, which is why it is attractive. Same reason people to ultra mythic raids/ultimate versions...they want to be first. It's not an either/or situation. And to be honest, private industry is going to have to spearhead this, because every 4/8 years, some new president comes...

It also makes assumptions that Dyson Spheres/Shkadov engines are a natural progression of technology for a highly advanced civilization, which is honestly kind of arrogant (and in turn, a hallmark of humanity lol). We make future tech speculations based on what we know at the time we speculate...

So i've been reading some interviews about the show for the 4th season that is upcoming (tomorrow). They didn't spoil anything, but based on their answers, I suspect how it will end. Attempt at Nostradamus...

Moon doesn’t have the perc problem, but dust is still an issue they have to solve for. It is ultra fine and gets stuck in the lungs as a result. Apollo astronauts had some issues from short term exposure, prolonged would risk serious respiratory issues unless they could prevent prolonged...

Because the whole basis is human centric and makes assumptions. To start: 1) the civilization invented radio and broadcast it for an extended period of time, with said broadcast intersecting with Earth at some point 2) the civilization invested heavily in some manner of technology on a literal...

The great filter strikes me as idiotic to be honest. It’s like a guy living in a hut on a deserted island assuming that all other huts in the ocean failed because he hasn’t seen any evidence of huts besides his own yet while he is awake. All we really have is what, radio signals as a basis...

Confirmed separate evolution of life outside of Earth would be one of the most monumental discoveries in human history for starters

Thrall forgot his keybinds. He had taken an extended break to play Stardew Valley.

Mars quite possibly had life/may still have life. That alone makes it > the moon. Plus the Martian Navy is badass

Ya, was a "happy ending for everyone" close out, even if some of the endings didn't make total sense (ie, Pippen). Seemed like they left the door wide open as well. Show was enjoyable for what it was

It isn’t the CE helmet, it was some GameStop only thing. Considering GameStop, can you really put the blame on Bethesda for this one? Game is still buggy, but I love the BR mode. Maybe it’s because I own at it

Because once people hit the level cap wall, the game becomes much more familiar in terms of modern experience. I’ll be curious to see the falloff between mc, bwl, aq, and naxx.
