It isn't so much that NASA is incapable, but that isn't their current directive. The shift to private industry post-Space Shuttle for LEO stuff started over a decade ago. NASA was then tasked with deep space stuff, so you had stuff like SLS. And ultimately the stuff that gets budgetary...

Forgiveness can work, but it has to make sense. There is a neat post Endwalker side quest that has a part where you’re trying to help something understand how humans define morality or justifications for actions. During one scene, it talks about 3 major characters and what they did and their...

This is the main issue - if the writing is crap, the story isn’t presented well, or the story/lore is generic as fuck, your Playerbase isn’t going to get invested in the story. A lot of the really grindy MMOs usually have a paper thin story. And there are lots of players that just want their...

Was cool getting the Allen the Alien backstory. Also highlights how wtf powerful Viltrumites are

You can do both. The problem with minimalist in abundance is it gets missed and then people complain how “dead” the world feels. When Fallout 76 launched, it was like 90% minimalist story telling and environmental story telling. Then people complained that was boring so they added traditional...

Better cinematic than Blizzard has done in the past few years

They were inspired by the finest actor of the 20th century probably

Shadow and Bone canceled. They blame the strikes, although I suspect the upcoming Avatar series also played a role (since Shadow and Bone presumably got the "bending" idea from Avatar) Guess my quote from earlier is relevant...

The early WoW days were fun like that. I messaged Tigole asking what the blue Ragnaros core rings were for and he said they were leftover testing loot they forgot to take out of the drop tables and they were gone the next patch.

Never forget

"How do we fix TLOU2?" "Hire a hot actress to play Abby?" "But that defeats the message of our game..." "Exactly"

Maybe, but private servers are still niche. This lets you try it out on a larger market.

They haven't released the full creation kit as far as I know for Starfield, so I presume that is the main reason why mod development has been limited

Ya, season 1 episode 1 was kind of weak. But you get a payoff pretty quick in the following episodes. Gods of the Arena (the 2nd season, which was a prequel to season 1) is also very good Season 3 and onward are sort of mixed. I also do agree on replacement Naevia not being as good as the...

Based on my understanding, streamers have to play a specific number of ads every hour or Twitch goes bonkers with back to back ads. Some streamers hit the ad button more than they should though, because they get greedy for ad view dollars (although that can backfire for obvious reasons)

This thread summed up Poster:I saw the movie. It was ok as a kids flick. Had some okayish parts Usual Suspects: no!!!! Me no watch, me only feel! Smart people on the YouTubez tell me it “woke”. Me no know what woke mean, but make me mad, so it must mean thing that make me mad!

Lol that old gif is what immediately sprang to mind when I think of crouch looting bug. That was probably one of the first WoW memes ever

I remember day 1 of retail in WoW and how you got stuck in the looting crouch forever because their servers were melting. You could still move, but stuck crouching

The original Spartacus series were awesome. Plus it was something both men and women could enjoy because it had gratuitous nudity for everyone and combined it with backstabbing plots and likable characters. You even liked the villains. Lucy Lawless nude scenes also a bonus lol

Another of the Grindhouse fake movie trailers becomes a real movie. What’s left now? “Don’t”? Lol

My favorite PvP trick in classic was using the world enlarger engineering item + the nogginfogger shrink on my gnome. They stacked so your gnome literally was the size of an ant. You could run around and people couldn’t see you (just your name plate)

I mean, if there is as much nudity as the original series, I'm on board with female gladiators lol

PvP is decent XP

Blizzard dropped the ball so hard with that shit

The worst was the beat down on the curb in front of the store with “young Deniro”. It was this blatantly obvious “old man movement” that just took you out of the film. At least get some younger stuntman and just deepfake the actor’s likeness into them. They already have stuntmen standin for...

Main problem with Hollywood multiverse is it is always Earth and Human centric. You step on a butterfly 65 million years ago and suddenly the world is different. But what about trillions of butterfly analogs on different planets around the universe? The idea there is 1 universe for literally...

Mark knew about Viltrumites from a young age. 1st season included a flashback where Nolan is talking with a very young Mark and telling him a lie about Viltrum stood for. Mark always knew about Viltrum, he just didn’t know what they were really like. Nolan at the end of S1 regrets not...

Kick? Interesting…he usually has a solid viewer count on Twitch when he streams

It could also be that it has some filler/slow spots and that is usually handled by the audience better when you can just binge watch it.

I wonder if Warbands might eventually allow characters to bypass the current tradeskill/gathering limits as well. Like if you have it leveled on one of your characters, you can use it on all your characters.

Just go watch Berzerk - the one from the 90s, not the recent shit. If you still think that sucks, then it’s a lost cause

One thing to keep in mind is this plotline from the comics is from like 20 years ago

Support paladin is good for players who think the control scheme of mouse move/isometric ARPGs sucks ass when said ARPG also requires extremely accurate positioning/attack angles. Was the only class I could stand in the game outside of Artillery dude

They haven't done much of that bit in a very long time anyways

Closest thing to a "worth it for VIP ticket" thing I can think of was The International 2. They never did it again, but VIP ticket was I think $500. You actually got access to the pro lounge and they had realy good food apparently. Like sushi and all sorts of shit. People said the $500 ended...

Interesting - mobility is sort of Moira-like

Gameplay is king, but you need hooks besides gameplay. Like some people are content to play dust2 in Counter Strike exclusively for 20 fucking years, but that doesn't mean everyone likes doing that shit forever. Gameplay keeps you engaged, but a good story keeps many coming back. This again...

I would counter argue that them going back to prior areas is a good thing. One issue that WoW has had for a long time is how disposable many areas feel - they put out all this content, and with rare exception, none of it ever gets used again. It sort of cheapens the history of an area or what...
