The last MMOs where I played mostly because of my guild was New World and Dune if you want to count that - both had core mechanics that required a coordinated group to do effectively. But that is also a double edged sword because if people stop playing, you’re bored because there isn’t a whole...

Did you forget Cassidy was pregnant with his kid? He does. I forget how long, but it’s like a decade tops later. I never read that particular novel, but I think it was referenced in a later novel I read. It’s been forever since I read them and I don’t recall much. Only plot points I...

You joke, but Avery Brooks was reportedly angry about how they ended Sisko’s story because he felt like it was inadvertently playing into negative stereotypes by effectively making him an absent father and is supposedly one of the reasons he never reprised the role

Early MMOs were basically proto-VR chat where you can fight orcs and dragons. That was a big part of their appeal. Then people realized hell is other people and wanted a more curated experience with endless content drip There is still a market for MMOs, but I do think they need to evolve...

The lansgrad revamp is good. The dungeons are a challenge in terms of the boss and melee is kinda fucked on bosses. Bosses don’t have shields so you mostly use guns to avoid aoe. Leveling specializations will take time, but there are some low hanging value picks you can get fast. Like...

So he never came back in 800 years? lul I'm slightly tempted to watch the episode to see how they decide to handle this

There isn't much of a risk of running out of lore/factions. I doubt we're going to get some 10+ season thing like Walking Dead. Besides, Bethesda isn't going to let them perma kill any given faction

Season 3' story is really going to hinge on if Purnell and Goggins are game for more than 3 seasons (their contract is only for 3). Season 3 is supposed to start filming soon. If one or both of them decide 3 is enough, then they'll need to completely wrap up Coop and Lucy's story by the end of...

Presumably Steph was told by Hank what phase 2 was and how it would shake down. Although unless there is an escape hatch in the overseer office, not sure what her plan is to actually escape or survive (since presumably phase 2 involves FEV) Season 2 was a continuation of season 1: Ghoul...

It was pretty clear they weren't going to wrap up the storylines this season and were going to finish them in S3. But ya, kind of a blueball way to end things lol Thoughts on some things

That’s what more or less killed JFK Jr and his wife decades ago - if I recall he wasn’t properly instrument rated and they tried flying at night/foggy conditions and ended up in the ocean

I watched an early access stream on Twitch about a month back or so - very Left4Dead like

Rapier changes take a lot of getting used to. You counter intuitively have to do a light attack timed just right to parry and r click and L click both do attacks but are different because they involve forward and backward motions

Beta WoW and early vanilla leaned more heavily into CC in group encounters. In beta, warlock banish worked on any NPC and cost a soul shard to cast. I remember using banish and fear juggling and succubus seduce to CC like 4 things at once in dungeons on my warlock

The carry trial is fucking dumb. I don’t even think the boxes respawn and they’re spread all over the map. Highest score I ever got on one was 2 handins on Dam

Slight fix there lol

Summed up: Good writing prioritizes story first and seamlessly weaves a moral or message into the story if needed Bad writing prioritizes a moral or message first and sloppily constructs a story around that Supergirl on CW was a prime example of the 2nd point during its later seasons - the...

More normies played FO3 and FO4 than FONV in the scheme of things

Rallos Zek was fine because it was a single server that offered PVP to people who wanted to engage with that type of content. PVP specific servers are a great idea The problem isn't that, it is some devs trying to make mandatory PVP with no opt-out their entire game

They're good in close quarters PVP, but they suck for most PVE situations vs. a regular anvil

PVP focused MMOs are basically the devs hoping players will make content. That's it. Just look at Dune. Sort of a MMO-lite, but they hoped players would PVP a bunch and it would take pressure off the devs to produce more PVE content

That car video has to be bait

MMOs aren't dead. Plenty coming out of China/Korea still and there are a lot of MMO-lite/hybrid type games like Where Winds Meet This always boils down to the eternal "what is a MMO?" question and you have people say only games like Everquest or WoW are MMOs, yet if you're objective, the...

I mean even Interplay fudged with the canon even back in Fallout 2. Ultimately they are games and games more often than not are going to "retcon" or tweak lore in order to fit the game mechanics and experience. Like in Fallout 1 fusion cores lasted more or less forever (in game I think they...

The games have had different strains of FEV that use different mechanisms of delivery. One thing they forget is the "dunk vats" are a primitive means of applying concentrated FEV to subjects that was primarily done post war by non-sophisticated factions. Pre-war and vault wise, FEV...

One issue is they're trying to compete with MMOs that have been out for decades, which is impossible from a scope of content perspective. You can't squeeze 10+ years of content into a game without putting in over 10+ years of effort and/or without a massive budget and development team...

I'm honestly surprised this didn't happen sooner. His game vision always was going to be DOA in the western market after a month or so

Wasn't that trialed during the Afghan war? Pretty sure I recall reading about that over a decade ago, they had planned to use it to help treat severe wounds in the field to stem bleeding until they could evac them for additional medical care

Interesting video - I wasn't aware of crop mimicry/accidental domestication of things like rye and oats

Huh? You're supposed to address the person you're talking to or look at them when using a translator.

Clarification for that post: The canon ending thing wasn't decided by the show runners, Bethesda/Todd made that requirement. The last Fallout game with a canon ending was Fallout 3

Best way to think of ghouls is as radiation based undead

Makes me recall a news story from many years back. New Hampshire was planning on implementing a helmet law for motorcycles, so hundreds of riders did a low speed protest parade on their bikes. One of the guys tipped over and cracked his head and died - was 100% survivable if he had a helmet on

New chapter 3 patch/update comes out on Feb 3rd. One nice thing is they are getting rid of taxes on bases, which honestly is good because you got double taxed in a way between fuel costs and paying money. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1172710/view/541129246577262618?l=english

In terms of that after credit scene, the "Big 51" was just painted over the word "Canada". Same with the "Little America" being painted over the Canadian billboard sign. I suspect one reason they haven't gone into that bit of lore about the states is because the show has already referred to...

I know they can drop rocketeer and bastion parts very rarely

If it is actually 2 inches of solid ice, you're not getting that cleared easily. Ice chipper would take forever - better off getting some ice melt product to thin it down, then it's easier to get rid of with a chipper Either than or toss down a shitload of sand to give it some traction, but...

On a side note, the position of this intact securitron is interesting...
