I think procedural content and player customization of content is going to be a focus point for the future of the industry, but generating everything procedurally in a plausible way is a challenge that hasn't been overcome. I don't expect Daybreak to manage it either, but it's nice seeing them...

The only thing I can relate to there is the ("I know I need to do better, I'm going to work on that" with zero change). I've known a few people where I've been in that situation with them. They didn't ever change. One of them is a family member I no longer want to speak to. That's a...

I'd like to know more, but that is pretty fucked up.

I liked Dredd more than Wick. I think it had a bit more broad appeal with the hot sidekick and the dystopian setting.

I'm interested, but it sounds like you'd be putting yourself in a legal danger zone.

Casual is the only hope. Hardcore shit has a microscopic audience.

Tengu is still strong, but I don't know when you quit. They're not gods anymore, or rather, they're a slightly lower strength god. They've become increasingly popular in fleet doctrine as well as all that PvE stuff, so they've gotten some balance passes to try and give other ships an...

You're just trying to downplay the genius of the Imperium's lightning takeover. So complete was this success that the old regime defected to the new.

That moment really was perfect, and referencing the hammer stuff a few times throughout the film was a solid build-up to that moment.

The sexual violence is thankfully missing? It's a post-apocalyptic society. How would gender equality be plausible and how is not showing it if it is likely, good art? So since the 80s we've grown increasingly capable of lying to ourselves about the nature of humanity. Fuck that guy.

I enjoyed this show. So much so that I madeanother threadlike a dumbass. Season 2 is already signed up. Season 1 is complete. After finishing the show I went and read the comic, which is much better, but it has way more time to get into the details. It's a lot weirder and more oddball than...

Fuck! I searched. I'm a bad.

Also the CFC was conquered in a blitzkrieg maneuver by the Imperium, represented by that sexy grenade eagle RhoA is sporting.

Why is there no thread for this? Are y'all tarded? Am I? The trailer is ~meh, but episode 1 is free on youtube and you can easily score the rest without PSN Plus (who has that?). Of course I generally don't access media through its original platform, so its provenance is no issue...

Still the best thing on TV.

Robots Don't get me wrong, I want a real girl. I think the sexbots will actually help people realize the value of their relationship because you can be rather effortlessly replaced with a machine. Sexual blackmail will hopefully be a little less significant as a domestic issue, and you'll...

So they'll play hard to get. It's not like they'll stop at sexual skills. Bots will do the girlfriend experience. They'll be interesting to talk to. People will form emotional attachments to them. The autonomous fleshlight will only be the first step.

FF confirmed, will declare jihad if unlimited global FF isn't in at launch, as they have clearly 100% promised this. srsly tho, WTB time machine so I can just skip the hope and witness the tragedy of release

Meh, most places in the world don't have the consumption footprint of the US. I don't think resource depletion is going to be a big issue. We'll have to continue making big adjustments here at home, but a lot of less developed societies will slip into the renewable envelope much more easily...

Doesn't that take MQ2/IS Boxer? Can't imagine how you send commands to other clients without them. Just operating everyone from one client is really the only way to make it slightly OK, but on live all classes have 60+ abilities and on p99 it's forbidden.

All human jobs will migrate to luxury products. Literally, things made by humans will be a luxury by default. Politics & Entertainment(Art) is the last thing we'll be able to hold onto, and they'll still be unrecognizably hybridized by automation. I think we're actually going to get a LOT...

Black and Handler have some venn diagram overlap with stewart's appeal, but no. I hadn't considered Norm.

Yea, multi-boxing isn't fun to me. The alt tabbing and having to rig your hotbars/macros to similar lines for muscle memory just annoys me. Maybe if I had IS Boxer it'd be less gay.

Man I was hoping to get him on that Uruguay bit, but then it turned out that was the joke. Nicely done John Oliver's writing team. Fuckin map rolls up and I'm like, "but that's...not...". Damn him. Foiled again.

I've actually had a lot of positive feelings about recent EQ expansions, but it is a very different game from old school EQ. They're not perfect, but the content has been interesting. I've been more irked at ability bloat, class balance, encounter balance, etc. than style or depth. I'd love...

In most U.S. states both state and federal congressional districts are determined by state legislature, making each state senator and congressman influential in affecting federal representation. Many members of both federal and state legislature once held a lower office.

Yea, that's why I began with "on what level?" We have plenty of very low level non-partisan (so they say) representatives around here. It should be possible to push that up a few notches locally.

Yea, I'm not really happy with mercs either, but it would take a lot to get away from them, and so very many of the loyal customers of EQ seem to prefer soloing with their OP pets. All these people that claim they dislike WoW because it lacks community, and then they 3box+3mercs in EQ all day...

I have no idea if improving the bronze/silver power level would actually translate to more groupmates, but having more randoms that can really contribute was a big desire for me last time I was active right before TDS.

I despise the AA limit on EQ1 for F2P. I always wanted more people for casual groups. Casual groups aren't what they were from ages ago. Using F2P as fodder for groups would be a pleasant improvement, but they're all gimps. EQ1's F2P is basically an online tutorial. Those players are of no...

No 3rd candidate can get elected. You're not going to get enough people to stop voting for them for it to make a difference in the direction you want. In our current system successful 3rd party candidates take votes away from their side of the political spectrum between the two main parties...

On what level? That will do nothing on the national level. We need a reform to how voting works and how districts are determined before more parties are mathematically feasible.

Tina Fey shat on Stewart a couple times, calling the laughing of the audience "clapter" (clap/laughter) and not real comedy. I enjoyed some 30 Rock, but I kinda want her to stay the fuck away. I don't think she has the heart for it. Samantha Bee, Jason Jones, and Aasif Mandvi are the only...

They're back.

You still have to balance out the map's resources somehow. That doesn't mean every place has uniform allocation, but that each region's strengths and weaknesses have their counterparts somewhere else in the world. EVE's mineral system is based on that, but I'm less aware of their moon balance...

I do hope they're committed to significant geological formations in their proceduralness. Shadowbane was procedural too, and it was basically just one flat plain, the whole thing. We need valleys, rivers, mountain ranges, cliffs, ditches, hills, etc. to eek out defensive positions. The best...

I fucking love red pandas.

Suppose so, though those seem to all be some kind of prefix. I'm not familiar with the terminology. dec, inc, rec, inc, inc

I don't know anyone with a mustache. You are now a 70s porn star in my mind.

Spirit of the wolf = SOW = \'sau?\ = female pig. I imagine he was saying that, not SAL. How could anyone take spirit of the wolf, acronymed to SOW and then say "SAL"? I always said Looselin myself, but I've heard the official pronunciation is Lucklin. I don't see where you get the hard C...
