Farscape will come back any day now… …any day…

I missed the whole TCG train. MTG came out and I remember I bought a starter deck and some boosters...and then people stopped playing it at school completely before I even got a chance to play during lunch. That was my last attempt at trying to get into a TCG. Although I bought a bunch of...

It is/was a TCG card game that was big around the time people were buying Pokemon cards (early 2000s). Think Magic the Gathering. Early 2000s was a wild west of TCG card games - everyone was making them because they were hoping to cash in on the Pokemon card fad. I had a friend who collected...

End of the day, money is what changed stuff. Games suddenly had budgets like Hollywood blockbusters because big publishing houses were willing to toss more money at projects in the hopes it would equal big returns. With more money comes more expectations, so you need to bring on more people to...

Nah, Deep is going to die. He was becoming somewhat sympathetic in earlier seasons, so the writers did a hard 180 and went out of their way to counter that. For example, when he lets his Octopus girlfriend die and doesn't do anything to save her.

I had to look it up - they stopped publishing Nintendo Power back in 2012. Before Nintendo Power, they had the "Nintendo Fun Club" which was free to join. You got a membership card and like once every couple months they would send out some free mini-magazine that had tips and glitches (I...

I mean it's a pretty big plotpoint in the final part of the comics

Pc Accelerator was such an awesome magazine

Gatekeeping and resistance to new science has always been a thing. Go back 60-70 years and plate tectonics weren’t widely accepted. It really wasn’t until the discovery of the mid Atlantic ridge that irrefutable proof finally made it gain widespread acceptance That being said, you do need a...

Like I said before, if they dropped that trailer in the middle of the game awards, it would have never received the level of pre-release hate that it got. Would it have done well? Probably not unless it got insanely good word of mouth, which it wouldn’t have with its launch features.

I remember being in early WoW beta and lots of people asked Blizzard on the beta forums to add mailboxes and auction houses like FFXI. They eventually added them before launch. They’re expected features now, but at the time it wasn’t a base feature in MMOs

That too - I think I got 1 group and they were nice, most times they wouldn't group with westerners. Part of it was probably language, but westerners were new and didn't know how to combo properly as a rule. I remember one interaction where a group was looking for a party. I asked to join and...

I've seen full lunar before - they're neat, but not on the level of a full solar

I played for a bit when it first came out in the US. I got to level 30 more think and noped out because my friends outleveled me (at the time a 3 level difference basically killed xp gain) and I got sick of spending 30 minutes finding a group and 10 minutes to kill a single mob for 1/10000 of...

I think that mechanic falls under the “if you’ve played enough games in your life, you know to gtfo out of the glowing death zone, especially when there are multiple platforms and only 1 is targeted”

Spoilers for the game, but I got a lol out of the PTSD Henya was feeling for this part

Have you seen recent MS offerings? They're all AI integrated.

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

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)

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

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

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)

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

That’s why I always pack at least an anvil

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...

Steam machine’s biggest foe is the current gpu/ram market

Final shot of the season: “hey, this guy invented a crazy efficient fusion drive! Let’s make a space navy and call it the MCRN”

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...

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.

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...

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...

He also discovered the true warrior's drink
