    Hmmm, what to recommend... It's been a long time, but if you've never read Stephen Baxter, you're missing on one of the hardest of hard SF writers. He's mostly known for his Xeelee series, which comprises a boatload of various novels and even more short stories collections, but he's written...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I think the spawns now depend on the density of players in the area. I was monitoring a park, and until 10pm, there was a ton of pokemon spawning on a 1h loop. At midnight, it was more sparsely populated, and that went until 10am... the spawn are starting to pick up now. Oh, and of course...

    Aaand, of course, a guy at the park told me during lunch break: "Want dratinis? Go to La Vilette, get about 10-15 per hour". Plus Magikarps by the bushel and a few Evees... (there's also apparently a sweet Magmar spot on the way to work, need to check)

    Mild derail: if you want an ebook reader, pick a Pocketbook Lux, and use Calibre (with the appropriate plugins) to strip DRM from your various ebooks and read them there. The advantage with that kind of setup is that basically you can read every ebook from every platform. Except Orbit. Half...

    A friend of mine is trying to get the 3 pokestops and gym turned off inside a radioisotope manufacturing area; people have already started to show up at the entrance and ask where they can park "for a visit". They knew it was coming, those were the 4 local Ingress portals. When it was...

    There used to be a Dratini spawn spot in the street next to home, at 3mn walk. One Dratini every 30mn. It stopped yesterday. Since then, no spawn at all there On related news, I got tired of the Pokemon Trainer login servers getting repeatedly fucked up and preventing the game from...

    Same thing. I used to walk to my job (25mn walk), but we moved two years ago and the new location is outside of subscription bike range (take any bike wherever whenever for 29?/year, as long as it's less than 30mn each trip; new job is about 45mn hike). I got 2kg during the last year, probably...

    And that's what I'm hatching in the base incubator, unless I got saddled with a 2km one.

    I'm not touching a less than 10km egg on an extra incubator. Even a 5km egg is wasted (unless you're a F2P whale. Which I might be. Maybe. In some games. Some).

    Seconded. Even though the instance is nerfed beyond your wildest imagination (we basically ran heroic with more healers than ever, and killed everything within 1h40 instead of our usual 2h30), the rotations are probably hard to get if you're used to the old system. I mean, I reorganized my bar...

    The latter. The game is still not released in France (due to Nice) for example, but there's a quite a few people who have switched App Store or downloaded the APK for droid. France is next, but no one knows truly when. There's about two rumors a day that "it's releasing today" "at 17:00!!!" but...

    Just finishedWarrior King, the book 5 of theOdyssey Oneseries, and was disappointed. The book was short and felt like a quick transition volume to start the next arc of the series and not enough of a book that stands on its own. While he writes ok and his books are entertaining, he also has a...

    If you've deleted it, it won't count. The only old items that are granted retroactively are those that had quests giving them. Anything purchased, crafted or looted and destroyed will have to be purchased/crafted/looted again. (the BMAH seems shut down. Anyone confirm?)

    Toward the end, I was getting about 1 appearance every 1-2 stacks of crate on average. Random is random. It took me most of sunday and monday to pre-open those crates, save for my main who had only its backpack remaining as empty space. I had three caster alts unlocking appearances before...

    Unfortunately, about 75-80% of the time isn't spent opening crates, it's spent at the mailbox next to the recycling center (you did put the recycling next to that mailbox, right? Don't worry, you can move the small buildings around for free) to find out which items go to which alt. It helps if...

    Some heads up for massive crate openers: I did measure how long it takes you to open 400 crates and dispatch the non-equipable gear to the alts that can (and dispatch the equipable to a similar alt, because I can't equip yet to unlock) and it's just over one hour. If you have loads of crates to...

    Well, people are against GMOs because they are against GMOs. They're not against GMOs for reasons. The arguments come after to justify being against GMOs. If an argument doesn't work, there's plenty where they came from.

    RAF is different from the old scroll of resurrection. RAF is for new accounts; you can't use it to re-enable your old account. Your friend will not receive a bonus unless you buy the game on the second account and add 2 months of game time to it. The two accounts are separate (save for the BoA...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If you really want BSG to be still good, the last scene you watch is the one where they stand on nuclear-devastated "Cylon Earth". That's it. End of show. Depressing, but not infuriating.

    The entire last season was bad. Once they started going offroad with "Earth was populated with Cylons and died in nuclear war! No, actually that wasn't Earth at all, the real Earth is still waiting for us" "Head Six isn't a mental problem, she's a real entity sent by God" "Starbuck is Moses...

    You forget (if it's Wakefield you're talking about) the bit about being the patent owner for a different vaccine substrate which, I presume, would have been "perfectly safe to use", and was seeking funds to create a company to exploit said substrate at the time of the Lancet study.

    Yea. To be honest, I don't understand the limitation. I understand the retro-quest based limitation, because the retroactive design is based on "what would you have picked and enabled as xmog if it had been there at the time". But for modern? I already destroyed plate/mail/leather items in...
