Fair warning: One of my biggest gripe with the series is that, at one point, the author completely switches progression. Suddenly, the System is not important at all. It's all about "images" and cultivation-inspired progression. All the interesting mechanics that were used? They no longer...

Apparently, the existing servers will enable TBC, but there will be Vanilla-locked servers to which you can migrate your chars.

Yea, the ninth (since Pluto is now merely the most famous TNO instead of a planet) planet (if it exists, some studies say that the 9th hypothesis is not necessary to explain the orbits) is more massive and thus probably larger than Earth, but probably less than Neptune.

Things happen, but very few of them. Most chapters have a kind of sameness to them that make them blur in your mind, which isn't good. (New) stuff does happen, but not often. It's still way above most RR stories in terms of writing per se, but it is probably starting to suffer from serialitis...

All Hail Gozer... erm, Dozer!

That name...

Spoiler warning for those following Magic Smithing. It's my Feb/March Patreon sub (I usually sub at least 2 months periodically to any web serial that I really follow - and boy, the author draws over $9,000 per month on that one). Shit is about to hit the rotating impeller.

On one video, you see the wheels spinning on a car on the other side of the highway, as cars are piling into the wreck one after another. So the entire highway was iced.

Yea, generated chunks are never modified when the world generation changes. Just filling with air upward and bedrock downward is simple, because everything else might have already been modified/incorporated in a building design...

Current tally is 133 vehicles, 6 dead.

Yea, I remember having some difficulties when they switched minecraft to mojang accounts, and needed to reset the password first.

Depending on whether or not you remember your email used then, you should be able to do a password recovery?

We all know the martians only cause your probe to fail once you try to land...

He's headed to Kindle Unlimited and Audible on March 9th. Although I'm confused, since he's keeping book 1 on Patreon. Either I do not understand properly the KDP rules, or his book is about to get nuked the next day - KDP is an exclusivity deal for 6 months minimum, and the patreon copy would...

That's a common theme in all those reincarnated as babies stories. Apparently, being self-aware from birth tends to give you all kind of advantages.

They're virtue signalling. It's not trying to cater to those categories, it's trying to cater to the predominantly white male SJW crowd by saying "see: we're the ones you must trust!"

Yea, as I mentioned in the general playing thread, been playing it. They seem pretty responsive - CM very active in the steam forum, and after the last patch broke down completely the balance the wrong way, they pushed a small hotfix very quickly. So far, relatively hopeful.

It's too bad they finally moved the second launch to Friday, though...

There is a reference manual down the line (just checked, it's placed at the end of book 1, but includes spoilered sections for the following books). And actually, no, it stays that way for a while. I was utterly confused about things for at least half a dozen chapters before things started to...

Comments (and announces) are confusing, because it already looks like one is being pushed to Friday?

Scott Manley speculated that the problem was clearly engine-related, as the other engine was fed correctly with fuel. Couldn't fire correctly, lots of flaming at the top of the nozzle...

During what?

Started recently with "Surviving the Aftermath", then realized on the next patch I had missed the "early access" mention. It's looking to be a good post-apocalypse base building game, but it's unbalanced as hell (and currently not in the right way - easiest difficulty is completely unforgiving...

FLYING small town grain silos.

Actually, the current fad is about the wombat's cubic poop. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/01/its-the-wombats-strange-intestines-not-its-anus-that-produces-cubed-poo/

"Now that everyone is at the tournament, let's see how long it will be before they run into each other"

Yes, because a lot of the dialogue options are locked behind stat checks, and mostly those two (probably a few CHA ones as well, but not as much). You see that explicited in BG3, I think, where some dialogue and actions tells you why you're allowed to pick that choice due to class/stats.

The ones still standing when the music stops are going to be plenty hurt...

I was going to ask about Icewind Dale 2, but that's the only one without an enhanced edition that runs on modern computers correctly. (according to wikipedia, that's because nobody has the source code. Like, WTF?)

Had it happen to me. I lasted 10 minutes before I ripped out the battery again to make sure it stayed silent until replaced.

I want them to use Shkadov drives! (basically, you do half a Dyson sphere around a sun, and use the resultant asymmetric solar wind and light pressure as a reaction to propel your entire solar system around)

In the States? Probably. Not for Europe, but then, we're all filthy socialists out against corporate profit motive or something...

The "contact us discreetly and negotiate a deal" one.

New one: The WEIRDest People in the World: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51710349-the-weirdest-people-in-the-world Starts with a few generalities before getting into the thing that savaged psychology in the 21st century: almost all psychological experiments were unable to be replicated...

It's a kind of weird gamelit-adjacent series. It's a "real" magic system, not a RPG system. It's properly called "Progression Fantasy", the umbrella for every fantasy book where the character's personal power levels grow in an objective manner (and there's a lot of classic fantasy that falls...

It's a bit worse than that. He says he's rewritten entire sections of the book to fix the issues in them. Which means you have to re-read the newer book if you want to continue the series, since I'm expecting some "uh? when did that happen?" issues to crop up later. So, no.

I have issues with M. Kerr re-releasing his third book in that series due to massive editing problems. Even if he promised a free copy for anyone who had previously purchased it, that's the kind of move that makes me drop an entire author, no matter how good his series are. Rohan Vider almost...

Not half, apparently she "only" got 25% of his Amazon stocks... still enough to plunge him down.

Also, on Amazon on Jan 12th (at least book 1 - we're on book 3 now on RR).

Musk ditched his wife. Twice. (plus a previous one once)
