    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Stuff like that worries me because it is either a design issue or a match performance issue.

    The Netflix Thread

    Netflix will be the long term winner - apparently they get close to 3 billion in compensation for the deal falling apart. I suspect paramount might have to start selling assets soon, regardless as to any hypothetical monopoly concerns (which I doubt will be pursued)

    The Netflix Thread

    Because Elison owns CBS, Tiktok, and now CNN (doing to guess the current admin finds no monopoly concerns at all). Given what happened with CBS and Tiktok, not hard to imagine CNN turning into Fox News 2.0

    Good video on the topic - basically the common ancestor of great apes like humans and chimps developed the means to metabolize alcohol

    For All Mankind

    While it isn't directly in that news story except them sending probes to outer planet moons to find life, I bet by the season finale they'll find evidence of methane based life on Titan and Titan will become the next settlement target. Then they get to have a whole plotline of whether it is...

    A lot of that is fixable in theory, but a bad launch can be hard to recover from

    Arc Raiders

    Did a hurricane map, was hiding from a sniper turret, dude dressed like an astronaut starts shooting at me but misses, I shoot him and he runs away then gets downed by the sniper. Then a rolling arc attacks me, then I finish the guy off. But then I realized he may have been shooting at the arc...

    I didn’t see a link to the actual study there, just an article stating what the study found. It mentions the study looked at shit like zodiac signs (wtf?) and Google searches (which wouldn’t be reliable if people are using VPNs)

    Dune Awakening

    They just announced they plan to merge some low pop servers early next month. They’ll post the list in the next week or so. Their post mentioned if the server is merged, it will auto store vehicles and bases if the player takes no action, although I’d probably do it manually if you play to...

    But if you are deceitful, then saying you are deceitful is telling the truth, which isn't deceitful. And if you ask a deceitful person if someone else is deceitful, they will say a person who tells the truth is deceitful. Now please pick the correct door

    I think you only get that message if you completed the project for the expedition, but didn't actually register to reset. It was the same last reset as well

    How are they measuring deceit? This is just a meme without an explanation on where the data came from

    For All Mankind

    I mean at this point they're in their 80s/90s. I wouldn't be shocked if this is the final season for some of these characters, although I also wouldn't be shocked if they keep at least 1 in reserve for a possible season 6 assuming they get renewed for another season. Even the trailer kind of...

    Out of her list of 3 games, I suspect: 1) Halo because Microsoft 2) Valheim because someone said it was good and she went with that 3) As a kid she played goldeneye on N64 a few times at a friends house or watched a sibling play it or played with a sibling #3 might be the most likely game she...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    Linear storytelling doesn’t always work. It really depends on the story being told and the character involved. You need a reader/viewer invested in a character before they care about their backstory. If the backstory is strong enough to to grab the reader/viewer, then sure. Otherwise you...

    I usually just try to aim for 3 stars in each category and that's it. If I can easily get bonus points beyond that, sure. But I'm not going to do some sweaty grind.

    Ashes of Creation

    The illegal tree farms were fun. I remember we had like 40+ people in the guild gliding over to the mountain top just as the trees were about to hit 100% growth and dropping into the farm like paratroopers, then it turned into a massive shitshow as people started to PVP and you had people...

    Ashes of Creation

    The western devs introduced a lot of "balance" decisions that ended up just being monetization schemes. Like when they "normalized" the speed of the sports cars. Before, gravity could help you accelerate faster and you maintained momentum. The western devs basically put a hard speed cap on...

    Pretty much. I played on the same server as him. His guild was called The White Order (I remember some players troll reported his guild name, claiming he was running a white supremacist guild and the name was evidence of that lol). Archeage was a faction system, although you could still PK...

    That's usually how upper/executive management is handled in major publicly traded companies - they probably get the option of taking a nice exit package in exchange for resigning behind closed doors, and then they "retire" or "seek opportunities elsewhere/focus on their family". But to...

    DS9 at least had the honesty to admit that most people like the programs that involve fighting or fucking (or in the case of Worf and Dax, both)

    Westworld

    There are cultural components as well. In Japan, the predominant religion (Shinto) accepts that souls/spirits can inhabit objects, so by extension this can apply to robots. They also have 60+ years of media portraying robots as helpers and heroes. Contrast with the west where you have no...

    Outside of items, they could hide cosmetic fragments in maps. You gather enough and unlock a cosmetic. Would be a simple way to add some engagement mechanism without needing to add lots of new items constantly

    Band of Brothers

    Letters from Iwo Jima was a much better movie than Flags of our Fathers, although you watch the whole movie kind of nervous because if you know history, there were very few Japanese survivors of that battle. It does highlight the fact war is hell no matter what side it is

    Band of Brothers

    The Pacific War was so brutal it was virtually impossible to have a TV show narrative where you could follow a bunch of the same Marines all the way from Guadalcanal through Okinawa. BOB is a better TV show because you can follow most of the same cast of characters from start to finish.

    Besides hoarding, "Gear fear" is a natural thing in these types of games. People don't want to risk good gear if they aren't certain they'll walk out of the match with more than they walked into it with

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Dreamcast did ok, but PS2 is what really torpedoed them. They sort of launched it in an odd time. The graphics were better than N64, but N64 had a pretty strong market penetration at that point and the price of games cartridges had fallen significantly since the console launched putting them...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I'm skeptical on how well this would work and even if it did work well, this would be a litigation nightmare and get regulated to all hell. Allowing some random people to illuminate random urban areas would cause all sorts of problems
