    Ya, she knows Yoda. It will be interesting to see what her reaction is

    Base building and the gold economy made the old epoch/etc mods. The new ones lack that element

    The Mandalorian

    It’s a silly point to make, because it would be cultural. Some people eat monkeys and apes, even though they are the closest thing to humans alive. edit: plus we are looking at the scene as humans and saying “they look the same”, but to that alien, it looks about the same to them as a human...

    The Mandalorian

    Baby Yoda got pissed when they had to leave because he was trying to restore his Froglok faction after eating all those eggs and was only at dubious.

    Better analogy would be a busy highway, but drivers will randomly pass out in their cars and drift into other lanes, hitting another car and all their debris frags any vehicle it touches instantly and the highway lane is unusable for years after the accident.

    Call of Duty 2020: Black Ops Cold War

    Ya, I was forced more or less to buy MW to level guns or unlock shit, so I suspect CW will end up being more of the same. Apparently, one rare item that was recently added to MW is a recon drone that already has C4 in it, so you can fly the drone around and detonate it on people lol

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I have to imagine that is a purchase price vs. a lease. When the full service launches, though, I would strongly suspect they'll have plans with equipment lease or pay it off in increments as you go (like traditional telecoms) type setups to get more people to use the service.

    Call of Duty 2020: Black Ops Cold War

    I re-read their post about it and it sounds like it will be Early December when CW+WZ have the cross compatibility (trying to coincide with the new season in WZ).

    Fairly soon, yes. It won't be on launch if I remember correctly

    Twitch.tv

    If you take Twitch for their word, their recent blog post suggests the music industry is trying to get a profit sharing deal that Twitch has rejected in its current form, on the basis that for the vast majority of streamers, music is incidental vs. actually a focus (which I agree with, who the...

    The Mandalorian

    Mando is playing EQ1: Quest design is shit so he is basically spamming key phrases to random NPCs and hopes he finds the next part of the quest

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    If you have at least a small house, you're golden. You don't have to fight other buyers and it is first come-first serve. If you do this, you get a credit of 30% of the minimum value of your current plot towards the purchase. Keep in mind the minimum value is like half the normal plot price...

    No Man's Sky

    One thing I do is if I find a planet I really like, I'll setup a simple base that is basically just a portal and power systems, then I can just teleport back to it whenever I feel like to build out the base more. The biome patch fucked one of my paradise planets, though. It went from a...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    5.4 is supposed to drop in Early Dec. It will feature the finale of the Eden raids and start to lay the main story groundwork for the upcoming expansion. In Feb I think they will have their online fanfaire and it is expected they will reveal the next xpac.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That will free up a significant number of plots to be sure. It has been off for like 8 months or so.

    You can basically save scum and reroll the frieghter encounter so the free freighter is actually good.

    Marvel's Avengers

    Their biggest problem was the main campaign was so short. I think if the main campaign had been much longer and you had more variety in the online co-op mission stuff, it may have had longer legs.

    There is a channel called JasonPlays or something that does almost exclusive No Man's Sky videos.

    Jeopardy!

    Ugh, horrible to hear, but I think everyone feared the worst when the cancer came back. Jeopardy is a cultural institution and he was always synonymous with it. Dude was a legend. Ya, he will never be truly replaced, but I strongly suspect they'll end up going with Ken Jennings as a new...

    At least at self-checkout, you dont have to tell anyone to double bag. A couple years ago I noticed they started to single bag shit, even if it was heavy, unless you specifically told them to double bag. Gee, thanks for putting a bunch of heavy liquids into a single paper bag that is going to...

    The prime discounts can be nice (when they exist), but it def has changed. One thing that concerns me is not many Whole Foods actually have on-site full blown bakery facilities. One I visit has had one for decades, but their bakery department recently changed in terms of layout/etc and I'm...

    Summit is a pretty huge streamer. Twitch would be idiotic if they started just doing 3 strikes you're out on their money makers. I suspect they will end up changing their policy soon to something a little less draconian.

    Youtube got in bed with the music industry as well. I'm sure they get a cut of that ad revenue. RIAA is just playing hard ball because they want Twitch to capitulate and give them some nice deal as well, even though music brings virtually nothing to a stream that is actually playing a game.

    The Mandalorian

    After these first couple episodes, I wonder if that will hint at the “tone” shift that rumor mills talked about. It’s currently following an episodic “problem of the week” format with an underlying mission of finding other Mandos and in turn Jedi. Maybe once he finds them, it becomes more...

    That has been an idea bounced around before and it will probably never be solved until we find more evidence on Mars

    Mando literally used a vibro knife at the start of the episode when he got attacked by that crime dude's goons as well.

    Lots of streamers are nuking their VODs on Twitch anyways and tossing them on Youtube because of the DCMA shit going on.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Not a surprise and easy to do if that ends up being real. Limited scenes without the mask and use CGI to show the actor, then majority of his scenes he has mask on. Give him a big sacrifice hero moment, make it all emotional and heartfelt, then pass the mantle on to an established character...

    Ya, those seem like questionable numbers. Everything I can find on the topic shows Boys S2 had higher ratings, but Mando grew over last year and is still the biggest draw on D+

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Main problem I had with Apex is they kept changing the guns massively in terms of how they performed and it has an extremely long TTK comparatively speaking. Granted I haven't played it in a long time.

    Reasonable latency as well. 100ms or less is better than the 500-600+ stuff with those other carriers. In theory you could actually game on Starlink

    Virtually every MMO since EQ1 has had a way to turn off spell effects, so it seems like a non-issue to me.

    The most exciting thing for investors is Starlink would have virtually no competition in the satellite high speed internet space for the foreseeable future. You'd basically be able to tap previous markets that had no option for high speed (rural), enhanced travel options (planes and ships...
