    The Astronomy Thread

    You don't just go from nothing to "let's make a metropolis on Mars!". America didn't start that way either...you had little settlements and those that lasted, helped pave the way for later stuff. You need those first pioneers to help set the groundwork for something more. Biggest advantage to...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I always liked that one DS9 episode where O'Brian needs some type of ship part and Nog does this complex web of trading in order to get it, but O'Brian is livid the entire time because Nog is doing shit like loaning the Commander's desk, taking Martok's blood wine, etc.

    Interesting, Non Political News

    Maybe they finally realized that forcing your employees to meet various add-on quotas or they get in trouble also translated into customers getting sick of getting slammed with add-on asks every sale.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Gil is for housing and glamour. You'll need between 50-60m for a mansion (keep in mind also that after you buy the plot, to build the actual house costs 3m, although you have 45 days to do that if the plot literally takes every coin you have). Then you got to furnish it, which is expensive if...

    Fuck, now our season will be 17-2 instead of 19-0 :(

    Ya. This year they will also have audience members control roshan with a VR setup and control creeps lol

    Midas Mode 2 teams announced. He is getting TI1 Navi and TI3 Alliance rosters to compete in it lol

    Carnival Row

    That isn't a revelation. The show literally tells you that she used to have a relationship with that blue haired prostitute fae, then at some point they ended it.

    Archeage

    Probably a smart change. Most of the castles in AA fell because the guild owning it just couldn't field enough people anymore to properly defend it. Making it faction based will at least ensure that the faction at large has some skin in the game and encourage more people to show up.

    If you are going through ARR, or in general, make sure to do the Crystal Tower raid series before Shadowbringers. You'll get a lot more out of the story and also get special options only available to people who finished the raid story.

    DOTA 2

    The chances of that happening in the US without a government mandate are practically zero, though. Plus, do you really want to give your SSN to a bunch of different publishers/developers? fuck that

    Carnival Row

    It was more gaslight than steampunk, but they could easily go a heavier steampunk route is the escalate a war with the Pact

    Battlestar Galactica

    From the article BSG fans, this will NOT be a remake of the amazing series @RonDMoore launched because ... why mess with perfection? Instead, we’ll explore a new story within the mythology while staying true to the spirit of Battlestar. So say we all!" Esmail tweeted Tuesday. Apparently it’s...

    Carnival Row

    There was some human POV outside politics/rich people. The police station sort of served that purpose.

    Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

    Ya logic will be weak. Ethical concerns would be grey as well, as I imagine Dinos would be a major invasive species. Elephants would go extinct with shit like T-Rex running around. Mosasaur would own whales, etc. They would quickly fill various roles in the ecosystem and drive their counter...

    pretty good short. I would have been putting a hand over the crying baby mouth ASAP after that Allosaurus started to come towards you though lol

    Seems like the rumors were true then about Sumail leaving.

    They'll probably just remove them as crafts and make the existing products do nothing.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Crafting does have a lot of button bloat...there are tons of abilities that you might use while leveling up, then promptly abandon once you get a better replacement. I could also see them rolling more cross-class abilities into core crafting abilities to reduce the need to omnicraft. Plus...

    These DoH/DoL changes making me nervous. I hope they dont nerf crafting/gathering difficulty much.

    Borderlands 3

    Ya, the game has heavy twitch integration. I was watching Strippin the other day and people in his chat (name wise) would appear as badass mobs, people could vote on what type of loot would spawn, etc.

    DOTA 2

    Team Liquid (players) left the org. Sounds like Kuroky wants to make a player owned org, like OG or Secret.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    The civil vs. criminal is pretty suspect re: the AB thing. That suggests a) there isn't enough evidence for criminal charges b) the timing suggests she wants to put maximum pressure to force a quick settlement Wouldn't half surprise me if the Steelers or Raiders were behind this lol

    Carnival Row

    IRL, JP Morgan backed Edison's electric plans (and then subsequently Westinghouse/Tesla's AC current), so it wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being that sort of business relationship. His vision of making electric lights the standard for the city seemed to mirror what Edison wanted to do and...

    Shroud loves MMOs. Anyone who has watched him for any length of time can attest to that. He was in a bored funk before classic and was juggling lots of games

    Carnival Row

    Ya, the Pact did come across as advanced (werewolf serum, dirigible attack craft, hand-cranked gatling guns), so it wouldnt surprise me if we meet some manner of Pact scientist/inventor, although that rich Puck guy had a lightbulb, which makes me wonder where that came from, since he didn't...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    In Legion, Engineers were able to make a power armor suit. You even got an in-suit HUD view. Unfortunately, it was pretty useless, had a super long cooldown, and only works in Legion zones.

    It's pretty sad when the best Star Wars shit of the past 2 decades have been the cartoons

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Seems like a legit leak and the plot makes sense in context. Lich King showing up would cause Saurfang to go berzerk. Tinker class I wonder. Maybe like machinist from FFXIV, but heavier gadget focus?

    Holy shit, the reddit forums for the various teams/NFL are so full of fucking salt and tinfoil hat conspiracy theories right now. It's hilarious.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    That works for an expansion maybe, but then you quickly find yourself mired in having a bank full of situational gear. Basically resist gear or the equivalent of "bane" weapons. Plus, it you fall into a situation where it feels like the time you spent grinding for gear wasn't worth it, because...

    Considering the healer DPS nerfs, makes sense to make the DPS check more forgiving.
