    Crimson Desert

    I'm enjoying this game but know ill enjoy it a ton more once they figure out some improvements to the controls. Fortunately I'm going on vacation in a couple of days and will need to spend some time in EQ after. Like, the dumbass mouse + gamepad + foot pedals I use conquers any keyboard piano...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Not really. I'm on Bristlebane in a large guild (Ring of Valor) and can recommend both the server and the guild. But I'm not playing regularly.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Yeah it's a pretty good time to pay for a sub. btw you have until April 20th to take advantage of it. https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-27th-anniversary-2026 I'm planning on popping some krono in a couple of weeks to get some fresh heroics that I've got to get ready for when I play SoR later...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Arrays vs lists is one of the great "Bike Shed" ( Law of triviality - Wikipedia ) traps of code reviews. Best way to handle those discussions (besides just changing to whatever data structure is appropriate, which is suprisingly array more often than people think...) is to profile the difference...

    Yeah I get what you're saying. I don't remember specifics about it. I just remember . Related, I enjoy it when authors write how a character sounds immediately before their first words, especially when they are very inhuman and it sounds like a challenge to the narrator: "The entity opened its...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I could only play Starfield if they basically redid everything and with a different team. The game design at a high level, sci-fi adventure + exploration + procedural + space combat is extremely appealing to me, but the team missed nearly every mark starting with the setting. My ideal game I...

    Crimson Desert

    Damn this is the greatest game ever made and anyone who didn't pay full price is a fat jobless loser. I also heard the game is getting nerfed in the first patch and anyone who doesn't play on release doesn't get the real experience.

    Arknights Endfield

    I've been leveling up yvonne + tangtang + xaihi + perlica. I really don't like it because I don't like Yvonne. I think if I didn't start playing Crimson Desert I'd get Last Rite.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    I don't judge an author for wanting to see their creation in live action. They've been looking at drawings of their work for their entire career like the below No matter how great those drawings might be, when they finally make it big and get a real budget to do something, do they really want...
