    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Sure, that's all fine and good. I'm just saying that condescension isn't a tool available to the humbled.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    You can't really respond with "Try to keep up." with someone reminding you that you were the defender of a dumpster fire and had no idea what you were talking about.

    Poll Do you like the stories and dialogue in games?

    Some games yes, some games no. I find that I have to 'really' care about a game's setting to care about the text. I also find it has to be heavily integrated into the gameplay for me to care. I also find that the more forced I am to hear background/story the less I care about it. In MMOs...

    Everquest Mysteries

    List is correct here, and there's good reasons for most of it. Warriors, like others, were forced to group. And because of the mechanics in that era of EQ they were usually in charge (especially if they were pulling, which I did a lot of...). They broke mez, they said when to attack, they chose...

    Poll Cad Impeachment Vote

    You want to impeach him, campaign for it. The will of the people decide.

    Poll Cad Impeachment Vote

    I voted to not impeach but might change my vote if I can make it tie again.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I agree, but they're not tryign to lean heavily on procedural generation right? They're not making a galaxy sized world. BTW: I'll reiterate what I said a lot on the No Man's Sky thread: procedural generation will only take you so far and create an interesting base. You absolutely need hand...

    Virtual Reality

    One of the games that ships with the rift, Lucky's Tale, has the kind of overhead isometric view that Populous has. I think we'll see some form of God games with VR, but a key thing here is that 3d objects far away look flat (even in the real world). You can compensate this by having a wider...

    Laptop Computers

    Need to buy the wife a laptop. Am looking at some Lenovos, a Sager and some Dells. She wants a 17" screen and won't play any games. She mostly needs it for internet and graphic design (photoshop, illustrator, inDesign). One thing I'm noticing: it's rare to find 17" laptops that don't have...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I'm just pumped for asteroid mining and asteroid mining as the way we'll erupt into our solar system. It's also something I hope happens soon enough for me to pursue as a career. I don't really want to repeat the argument but I'll always be ready to ask the question of, "What would spending...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Not sure what you're asking here, but I'm saying that if you maxed out your AAs and had some 15k AAs, once EoK releases and you max out your AAs you'll have 25k. The list of AAs (without cost) is on the beta forums and it's pretty lackluster. 1k of those AAs are wrapped up in new class specific...

    This looks similar to the tsunami footage that happened off the coast of India.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I think marriage is more for flavor than anything. I always get married because it's interesting convincing whatever the top family in the game to giving you their daughter. It's super easy when you have a lot of renown, and my playstyle of building up a team of immortal monsters and smashing...

    The advantage of carbon nanotubes would be we'd effectively create those squids from the Matrix, or some kind of jellyfish ship. The idea of space ships being small ringed modules surrounded by massive clouds of nanotubes is too silly to work!

    We may as well just have a huge shotgun and launch buckshot at nearby star systems. Sure, it's not really a probe, but little tungsten pellets are about as good at 1 light year.

    How much heat is your 220MW reactor generating and how are you dissipating it?

    No idea, but I'm willing to make a 100 year avatar bet the answer to "how fast" is "slower than what we'll have in 100 years, or we'll all be dead and it doesn't matter". I wouldn't count on the EMDrive, it's probably bullshit. A few groups have independently found thrust, but zero groups...
