I was obsessed with "After Man" by Dougal Dixon as a kid. It was a a zoology book of how animals might evolve if humans went extinct. It took the premise of most domesticated things or large fauna not living much past the era of man, and things like rats or birds or rabbits and the like...

The issue you all have are corporations being treated like "people", which essentially makes them immortal entities, and using their armies of lawyers to squeeze money out of people. Keep in mind corporations are the ones who pushed for copyright changes to begin with, to make it harder for...

didn’t shipment 24/7 get removed?

Rights to IP should remain with the creator, though. Look at it this way for issues with the dumb “10 year idea” 1) you write an awesome story, but no one really notices it 2) 10 years later, company makes it into a movie and takes in millions 3) creator gets jack shit because short ass...

Corporations would win out because they still have armies of lawyers, so your 10 year proposal would only hurt the little guy. Struggling writer? Struggling musician? Only have 10 years then big corps can steal your shit and make more money than you.

Compared to GOT Season 8 says it all lol

Hiroshima was just a single uranium bomb with (relatively) low yield that airburst, though, so hard to compare that to modern nuclear weapons. Modern total nuclear war exchange doctrine is pretty much: High-atmo detonation to create EMP, followed up by strikes on in order - Leadership...

Premise seems to be explore the ruins of the west coast and some army is capturing the peaceful robo-animals to be war machines. I'm guessing it is the "forbidden west" because that is where there is some FARO shit maybe?

Ya, I've read a lot about how the Nuclear Winter theory was overestimating the impact on global temperatures. The more impactful elements would be the radioactivity and overall destruction of infrastructure (also factoring in the EMP bursts that would fuck up non-shielded electronics)

Presuming you mean west is fucked, eastern part gets it later. But NA as a whole would be dicked, since Canada and Mexico would feel immediate impacts as well. Plus if you look at historical ash covers, the entire midwest US would potentially get buried in deep ashfall and combined with strong...

lol wut. Ice Age megafauna (fuck, megafauna in general) was wiped out by humans mostly with advanced hunting techniques. Neanderthals were already on their way out 13k years ago. They also aren’t our ancestors. They were basically our closest living relative. The only ancestor aspect you could...

Around 70k years ago. There was a larger one like 2mya and a few hundred thousand years ago.

Chuk, the super volcano has erupted multiple times. It’s not a world ender. And ya, the magmatraps were a sustained event over millions of years, which is worse. It’s the difference between one big eruption that happens and ends vs. something that keeps going and going and going...

There are other undocumented changes. Apparently, the locked bunker now has a mini gun you can use as a gun inside it lol and they also added a nuclear missile, but thus far the missile appears to be for looks. It would be pretty lol if they decide to add nuke mechanics like they do in the...

This game does seem to have a lot of bloat. This game finally dethroned WoW as game taking up the biggest amount of space on my HD lol

Nuclear Winter is real, but realistically the countries that would have a full nuclear exchange would be in the Northern hemisphere, so most of the effects would be more pronounced there.

The events are supposed to be mid-game, so it shouldn't happen in the final circles. I think they said it can happen between the first circle and before the Gulag closes.

Patch notes up https://www.infinityward.com/news/2020-06/MW_Patch_Notes_June_10 Thoughts: 1) I like the new events. Some dumb shits on reddit are crying, because they aren't thinking it through. -Jailbreak is what is having people crying. One of the 3 events that can happen is everyone who...

Water in this game is pretty much lava for all intents and purposes, so I wonder if the currently empty river beds/etc will become impassible moats save for the bridges

You're vastly overestimating the impact of such an eruption on a global scale. Yellowstone already has erupted in the past. In fact, in some cases so recently that humans were on the planet and larger mega eruptions when hominids were around. They've actually found geologic evidence of the...

Well, Lee legit had problems because of that in the 60s/etc, so you do have to address it.

Ya. The thermite damage isn’t the greatest vs vehicles as opposed to an actual thermite grenade, but the fire effect is good for ensuring the person goes down if you score a hit on their body. Gas ones are great for smoking out campers also lol

I’ve been running M4 and crossbow lol. I wiped an entire squad the other day with the xbow. I was on a roof and other team was on a lower roof. 3rd guy is climbing ladder, so I shoot and he gets knocked. His friend runs to ledge and starts looking. I shoot him and he gets knocked. Last guy...

Yellowstone going off wouldn’t be an ELE in terms of a dinosaur or Permian-Triassic category ELE. It would be very bad and cause 100s of millions of deaths long term, but’s its no worse than a full nuclear exchange between the US and Russia.

You're still capped at 12 custom delivery handins, so basically pick 2 people who have the bonus handins that week.

Public ask suggests they have no close friends or acquaintances left to ask. Usually streamers like to room with other streamers or people in the industry

This. Critic and user scores are going to be suspect due to agendas on both sides. Game play looks similar to the original, so story is going to be the make or break aspect.

So looks like the theme will be alternate futures for the time travel angle. Grim Reaper seemed to be in some fiery apocalyptic landscape. I'm guessing it will be like some "Butterfly Effect" type thing where they try different things, doesn't work, travel to alternate future to try to get the...

Don't worry about it too much. If Yellowstone went Nuclear, America would be the most fucked out of the rest of the planet anyways lol

They have, but if you went streaming only, you'd either have to jack up the price to account for the loss of per-person ticket sales, or create some other type of business model. They sort of did this already by essentially charging DVD prices to watch the movie. A family of 4 for just tickets...

Ya, Lurn plays a lot of music on her stream while playing. I guess VODs will auto-mute copyrighted stuff, but clips don't, so she had to nuke a bunch of clips as a result to avoid further DCMA strikes.

Theaters are currently the only model to rake in massive profit for movie producers, though. Theaters made very little off actual ticket sales. That would have a cascade effect in the industry and make it harder to produce films with big budgets due to increased risk of less ROI.

It's not all on Twitch. Ultimately because of the way the law is written, people can spam DCMA complaints and the hosting website has to react.

Didn't they offer refunds to those who asked? That pretty much spelled out "we abandoning this shit".

The main use for money really is upgrading your ships to max slots. That shit gets stupid expensive if you don't have the slot upgrade modules.

During Stormblood, you could make a killing selling shit. I was selling oak pillars for 100k per and wall hanging plants for like 30k per. Got enough to buy a mansion when they added the extra wards.

They've almost always done that, though. Last beast tribe usually ends up being the crafter one. Doesn't help leveling that late in the xpac, but its a good catchup mechanic for people new to crafting or people who arent omnicrafters yet.

lol i had totally forgotten this even existed until this topic was resurrected

BF5 on the flip side basically required unlocks on vehicles to make them worth a fuck. A base plane vs a plane with unlocks was such an insane power difference that it made it extremely difficult for new players to get vehicle unlocks (since they got dominated hard by both OP infantry and...

Good guide on getting the backpack. This is also a double XP weekend www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/gwpp65/a_comprehensive_guide_to_the_pioneer_scouts_with/
