    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Figured the guys in Nitzer Ebb would've been way older. Dudes in Ministry are all mid-60's. Even Trent Reznor is 60.

    Dune Awakening

    So pretty sure I'll be picking this up tomorrow. Any idea when the normal servers go live? And anyone doing a FoH...guild? Or got a server in mind?

    Dept. Q

    I generally hate British shows like this cause they just seem...not really overacted, but like they're trying to mimic American shows and doing it poorly. Like a child trying to imitate adult behavior and it's just off. Not finished with this one yet, but I was kind of hooked in the first...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Not at all. See my posts earlier in this thread where I was dumping on jrpg's and how they're just weeb shit now, and then a few weeks later where I binged the hell out of the game.

    Good luck parrying Simon. That sounds like a blast.

    That Call of Duty that had the Warzone battle royale (Modern Warfare?) used to do it pretty much every launch. Shit was obnoxious.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    If you're already in act 3, you're basically done. Just go finish the shit up, it'll probably take an hour or two (if that). Act 3's story is incredibly short. It's just the non-mandatory stuff that you can dick around with forever. You don't need any additional grinding to finish the story either.

    If this was really originally a Ray Donovan thing, I guess it makes sense. His wife on that show was repugnant.

    MobLand

    Yeah, I already thought the Kat McAllister character was a bit much already. Don't know her story, but she's obviously involved with much bigger fish than the UK offers (her own words). I guess we'll just wait and see. It was definitely a good first season.

    MobLand

    Yeah, my only issue is that they really blew their load with this first season. Where do you go from here? It's where shows like this get into trouble, because they're going to keep trying to up the ante to keep people "engaged." Which is always a recipe for failure.

    Dune Awakening

    That's fair. In fact, I was talking about the 7 Days 2.0 release, and that combat is jank as fuck too. Appreciate the responses though. Instead of just calling everyone a faggot for "only watching videos and not playing." I'm 50/50 on this one still. Seems like people in this thread either love...

    So are you saying the combat is good?
  14. Gravel

    Dune Awakening

    That's been the thing I notice every time I look at a stream of this. The combat looks absolutely retarded. Like, something you'd see 25+ years ago bad. Then again, whenever I watch, there's very little actual combat. Mostly just gathering shit. Everyone playing it seems super engrossed, but...

    7 Days to Die

    Seems like the game is turning more and more into a linear first person shooter zombie game, with survival elements. They continue to kill the base building portion of it.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I mean, watch the video? His example is a photon clock on a spaceship. The photon is really what I'm referencing as far as "spaceship." The photon can never reach the speed of light, because it requires infinite energy in order to do so. It can approach it but never hit it. And what is light if...

    The Astronomy Thread

    This whole derail makes me feel retarded. Physics was never really my thing. But watching this video, the one question I have is if all of that is true, how does anything travel at the speed of light? If we're breaking this down to how fast atoms are traveling, what difference does it make if...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    It's funny, because I'll read all the spoilers for these movies because I know I'll never actually watch any of these so it doesn't matter. Wife and I went and watched every Marvel movie sometime around when Infinity War and End Game came out. Of the new ones, I saw Black Widow and Shang Chi...

    Stranger Things

    I'm amazed at how long people will stick with these shows (looking at you Walking Dead). I checked out after season 2. Saw this thread got bumped and didn't even realize they were still making it. This was nostalgia bait with 80s shit. Are they even still in the 80s at this point?

    Dune Awakening

    Wow, yeah, reading that and that sounds fucking retarded. You can tell they thought they had a great idea, but thinking about it as a player it sounds bad. Really bad.

    Ashes of Creation

    Does it really matter? The only people who will ever play this game are the ones that paid $200 for it. It's not necessarily vaporware, but it's never getting released.

    Launching on the 6th? That's pretty wild to not even announce a launch until launch day.

    Agreed with too short. I feel like every time I'm like "did I quit this show?" Watch the next episode, it gets maybe kind of interesting, but not really super interesting. Next one rolls around and I'm not sure if I give a shit about the show or not. On the plus side, they're short, so I'm not...

    For some reason the posts about this one remind me of that Erenshor game from last month, whose interest seems to have completely died. This just another flash in the pan to hold you all over for a couple weeks?

    I mean, in theory if I were a vendor, I'd just have a different gold price, and it'd be exorbitant. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, how do you deal with counterfeit gold? But the whole thing is retarded.

    Markets down though. Pretty much anytime the Fed speaks now, markets go down. They don't inspire much confidence in anything I suppose.

    This seems to be missing an understanding of what backing a currency with gold is, versus trading in actual gold. Requiring gold and silver to be accepted as legal tender is insane, because as said, it means every single transaction needs to be able to be conducted in gold or silver now, and if...

    I mean, I get it. You're trying to make sense of it all. But when tech companies that didn't produce anything, but went public and their stocks started going to the moon based on some hypothetical earnings a decade in the future, the whole system fell apart. Earnings have absolutely nothing to...
