    The Astronomy Thread

    Really surprised they don't have some aircraft flying around with a professional recording it. I mean, I would've assumed airspace that close would be closed, but since it's not, why not capture something awesome officially?

    The Astronomy Thread

    The real telling part will be if somehow the stuff that worked in the 60's (radio communication, video that you could make out things in, etc) just doesn't seem to function on this one.

    Wasn't Hermione a mudblood? Sounds right, I concede this casting point.

    Surprised no mention of Artemis II in here. We thinking this thing will actually work?

    Crimson Desert

    Yeah, same here. Doesn't help that I bought two 30-40 hour games just before this came out (Planet Crafter and Necesse). Will probably finish those before I touch this one. It also doesn't help that it seems like Pearl Abyss is doing massive qol patches every time, which makes me just want to...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Man, we won our stock contest in elementary school back in 1994 by buying Micron.

    Home buying thread

    Yeah, doorknobs get expensive when you have to do an entire house. Same with things like outlets. When we were getting ready to sell our last house I went and replaced all the knobs (I actually think I did this a few years before we decided to sell), and it was a few hundred bucks. The outlets...

    Weird how you're at 120 hours and about to finish and some people are talking about 80 hours still in the starting area.

    The fuck? I didn't realize this was an open world Mortal Kombat game.

    I dunno man, the "girl power" stuff was pretty blatant to me. If not for Link being a white male, every single one is either painted as a moron or piece of shit. I mean, sure, you can overlook it, but you can't deny it.

    Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026)

    Yeah, it's very unserious. Kind of a weird blend of action movie and comedy. The soundtrack was also good. Speaking of soundtrack, I laughed pretty hard at the scene in the car at the end. The whole scene was a good summary of the movie. It does also go well with the "What are these movies?"...

    Damnit, looks like you all are really trying to convince me to give this one a shot before it goes on 50% sale. Sounds like worst case scenario is it's that 150 hour guy from pre-release who enjoyed it until the very end game bosses. And I do love a good completionist game

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yeah, reading that I assumed he probably meant Reddit or the Discord. Those opinions are fucking retarded. The stuff here is generally pretty level headed and from the viewpoint of an overall successful game. Because like you said, anything said here Shawn probably at least skims at some point.

    Are you from the writing team? This show is starting to give me LOST vibes; the bloody noses, main character with her son's name and birthday, and Alex clearly being a thing not a person which they keep very obviously trying to misdirect with. I think they're going to do a time travel thing...

    I mean, they did that with those other Fantastic Things movies or whatever they were, and they didn't do great.

    I had hoped for just BDO single player, but it sounds like a completely different control scheme. But then, as said, I haven't played yet.

    I haven't bought the game yet, but been reading the thread and was surprised no one shared this. Y'know, for people looking for realism... ...keeping in mind someone had to go out of their way to program this.

    That influencer montage was the stuff of nightmares. Holy shit.

    Crimson Desert

    Just seems weird that no one tested the game on mouse/kb and wasn't immediately appalled at what they'd done. Something so simple should've never made it to release.

    The Pitt

    In fairness, I think in the first or second episode these faggots also got all huffy and puffy about the prisoner being handcuffed to the gurney. So they're pretty consistent in "no one is guilty here in the hospital!" It's just a really tone deaf blind spot for the show.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I wasn't necessarily saying people here (although there are a couple), but it sounds like the Discord/Reddit people are really on "team Nick." Hence all the posts about Shawn freaking out in Discord and handling it poorly. I couldn't give a shit about Nick. I don't know him, never will...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It's so weird, because the discussion in this thread up until he was fired was about how fucking terrible the class development has been going, where essentially it felt like everything was going backwards. Guy gets fired and all the sudden his simps step in about how the game will never be the...

    Man, what an unfortunate episode. My wife was the one who said "as good as the show is, that might be enough to get me to stop watching." Seems like a major misstep to have literally the entire cast throw a fit about it, when it's got like an 80% approval rating. It's where living in your LA...

    Wait, you mean to say this dev team is a shit show? Man, if only people had been warning about this in this thread, it could've saved people a ton of time.

    Oof, guess he'll ruin the success chances of both games. Rough times for MMO's.

    Weird, saw him streaming Andrullan last night (guess I had him followed a long time ago). Hopefully he doesn't join their dev team to fuck up that game too.

    Crimson Desert

    I mean, this was expected though. Everyone figured the game would start out well, it's whether it can keep it up into the later parts of the game (inch deep, mile wide).

    Crimson Desert

    Watching a stream of this and the controls look absolutely atrocious. I wonder what happened, because it seems like they could've just ported over a Black Desert combat system?

    Crimson Desert

    It's also a funny thought experiment. If you waited a year for the price to drop, you'd basically have a continuous set of games you play a year later. If you don't play every game on day 1, but day 366, you still have the exact same amount of games to play. But you also have the bonus of...

    Crimson Desert

    I mentioned it a few weeks ago, but that Morning Light expansion a few years ago was the worst. Just constant running around for story you didn't care about so you could actually play. Seems like they designed an entire game around the concept.

    Well none of your summary makes me want to play this one at all now. Yikes.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Why not make it permanent night mode? You're not a faggot casual are you? Hell, you should probably play the game with your monitor completely unplugged. You navigate by memory and sounds. What, are you a fucking baby and can't handle that?

    So Rick Beato finally posted a video about them (I admit I never contact anyone on youtube but I did for this). Still only at 3.4 million views (seems about 1 million a week for the last 2 weeks). But they also added a bunch of new tour dates this evening. I imagine they're going to blow up...

    I'm curious what you want night time to be? Completely dark so you can't actually play until it's daytime again? And if so, why?

    Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

    Yeah, enjoyed the stuff with the kids in the school and then the clones. It felt very "not too distant, dystopian future" to me. In a very black humor, deadpan way. Definitely felt very much like it was alluding to AI being the Antichrist. The AI promises everything you could ever want and...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    I figured they got along since they have reciprocal items in their games (at least, I think MnM does, I know Adrullan does). I mean, people call their best friend faggot. Just because they get along doesn't mean he can't get a good ribbing in. "Hey, your game went to shit when you took over, loser."
