There'd be no way to coherently do this now, but it'd be interesting if the show was set up differently such that as Frank was working up the political food chain to the POTUS, Claire was working up the chain as well where she goes from the non-profit to state senator, to Governor and then when...

Ao go watch the showo.

I agree with everything here. My conclusion from the principle and the context is the same: Just cook the bros a cake.

I watched some of the podcast. I hate the module release system SC has. If they have enough capital to make a full game, don't release it until then. I don't want the game to be old and the community tired of it by the time it's "released". I feel the same way about super long betas like PoE...

wow mythic ayanad? That's the first one I've heard of. I think I've gotten guilty only a few times. There's a lot of PRX friendly guilds, most neutral guilds like PRX and few enemy guilds participant in juries.

I think the extent of which the trading system needs to be streamlined will depend on the complexity of the itemization and crafting system. Since they're making noise about it being similar to SWG I think we can assume a fairly complex system. In which case the more streamlined it is the better...

In what situations do we deny service to people because of who they are? I was loose with my language so when I said, 'no group may be fucked in this country' (which is totally false of course, all groups are fucked in different ways) I meant 'no group may be denied service to'.

IMO: Best you can do is look at salary averages in your area. But I've never really trusted those values because they always seem too high.

Literally speaking, you're worth what someone will pay you. When I graduated and got my first job I thought that number was too high. When I got my second job I thought that number was too low. Right now I feel it's about right. In a more figurative sense you're worth what you can find...

I also agree that METI is monumentally foolish.

Maybe my college experience or first two years programming was a different experience than yours but I don't really feel like my first two years out of college made me a more capable software developer than the four years I spent in college. I'll repost what I said a bit ago in the CS thread...

1. Because in this country, we want people to be free to engage in commerce and not have to deal with people's bullshit bigotry to do so. 2. Because people have the freedom to be who they want and as long as it doesn't impact other's rights they should be free to do so without getting...

Did you steal from your coworker?

Maybe you're right. I don't watch much Oliver but liked him on TDS. I don't want to give people homework, but please link a video of him where you think he's going after liberals like a bipartisan comedian would.

I know about software development and I agree with him. What's annoying is that before your rant you agreed with what he said. Switch jobs. Oh and we go around about this in the CompSci thread. Yes, there are a lot of great software developers without degrees and a lot of poor software...

This video makes me want to see TDS become more conservative than what Stewart had. I watched a few Jon Oliver vids, all the ones I watched seemed leftist to the point of being dishonest and fake rage. Is that still the same? I like bipartisan comedy better than partisan comedy because it's...

Weren't the democrats in the south during that time period socially conservative?

I don't know of any book readers in this community who are eagerly awaiting the next book but don't watch GoT, so I'm not worried about having a thread to talk about the books that doesn't allow talking about the TV show. We'll see how this season goes, but my guess is that there will still...

You're a product and your value is determined by who will pay you. If you feel you're being underpaid you have to make your employers believe you are willing and able to work elsewhere for more money. How do you do this? tough call.

Vague question: In my last playthrough of BG1/2, I found that the somewhat archaic inventory system was a chore to work through. I spent more time dealing with inventory management and clicking on inventory / merchant screens than I am comfortable with. Does PoEternity have the same problem?

Tangential, but what makes mercs or "small groups of very capable people" interesting is that you usually have no recourse against them. They've built up their wealth or income in a way you can't really impact and you can't dissuade them by killing them because they live for that. Where as in a...

You always hear about mercenaries or protection money before a game comes out but it's rare that it happens from my experience. Usually paying a fair wage for the time of N people is too high.

Of course the sun is yellow! I can only look at it when it's low in the sky and it's always yellow there!

So is this beta live or ?

There's two points here: 1. Only a minority of people reading this thread probably have heavy experience in C, so != null is more clear to people. 2. Even within veterans of C, different programmers use different ways of pointer-checking and to be adament that one way is right is silly.

With a system of money having weight and loot on death I like NPC merchants scattered in different areas. I also wouldn't mind an auction house UI like Valor describes where you can only find that the next town over has a ring of +5str.

The Crowfall team hired some hot local actress or something to do a bunch of marketing videos. It ended up being hilarious and distracting because it turns out a bunch of nerds would rather perv out on a girl than a bunch of old nerds trying to sell hopium. The parallel Vitality brought up to...

Totally different.

wouldn't you have to open a business, then refuse service to people who don't take their shoes/shirts off when they enter?

That things are much better now than they were before. Back when some 5% of the playerbase was female it was annoying when a community could get derailed by a woman showing up, especially when she played her cards. Now nobody gives a shit if you're a woman because you're one of 10 women in a...

Yeah, but when I played Listing and finding items was sort of the easy part.. The hardest part was after that and having to message people, arrange a time to meet, meeting up, haggling a price (This is where the obfuscation of value due to the goofy currency system was a pain. The window of what...

Does Pantheon even have PvP in the design?

I don't even know what the herd is doing really. My guild (PRX) is super pumped for this game, so I'm just assuming that most old-school PvPers are too. I know very little about this game. That was literally the first time I've seen gameplay of it. And all I am saying is that most of the time...

Per my integrity as a janitor and coherent thought I moved it back here.

I thought the same thing. He's always had those characteristic pauses but man, it's like he's mentally exhausted. How many presidents have we had in the last 50 years that were just falling apart at the end of their terms?

I don't want to be a 'knees too sharp' guy, but I feel like they shouldn't be showing off the game in that state. It's too raw and makes me feel like that's about as good as it's going to get.

I wouldn't mind playing PoE again if they had a merchant system. Or just changed it so I didn't have to trade bullshit to make maps. I just wanted to play the game, not play Auction Hero 4000.

You two better step it up. The last three pages sucked because you two shit in this thread. Make your points and move on. If you feel the need to reiterate everything its because you have no confidence in your previous statements.

I think Blackwulf has a pretty hold on the situation. But sometimes when people are asked, "Why do you want the ships badly enough? Why don't you earn them ingame?" the mental gymnastics they do to justify the value of the ships while also devaluing them so it's not p2w are incredible. And...

Gen. Anthony doesn't recognize the authority of the SCOTUS.
