I'm currently playing my first and probably last Gacha game (Arknights: Endfield) and something common in that industry I find interesting is they send out exhaustive ingame surveys to their playerbase and reward players with valuable currency for completing the survey. These surveys include...

It's more like going to a restaurant's lobby, standing in the middle, talking shit about the food there, and then being surprised when they ask you to leave. I don't go to Popeye's and complain about their service until they call the cops, just like I wouldn't go to EQL's discord to complain...

I've never joined their Discord and wouldn't join it, but I don't blame them for heavily moderating their Discord. Going to Discord to talk bullshit is like going to someone's house when they're hosting a neighborhood BBQ and loudly bitching to them about their choice of meat and how they cook...

I first played Deus Ex around the time it came out and loved it. I tried replaying it a few years ago and couldn't get through it. The gameplay was too simplistic and too many games have built beyond it. Human Revolution was fun, but didn't have as much weight as the original. I'd probably...

Could not reproduce.

Difficulty of missions and non-instanced content varies by expansion but generally the Claws of Veeshan expansion (which had a level 115 cap) is a bit more difficult than Torment of Velious (which raised it to 115). There are exceptions of course. The keybind and ability bloat is just part of...

It's crazy to me that 14 years later I'm unaware of any MMO that's built beyond the dynamic event system in GW2. https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1058358-Guild-Wars-2-Mass-info-for-the-uninitiated-READ-ME! This article is from pre-release but the map rings true, where it describes how an...

Bro learned spiderman sticky fingers from Tom Holland. Much better string control.

My favorite path for a casual-friendly game like GW2 is to let players no-life everything, but provide substantial but limited daily boosts that let someone earn it over longer periods of time with moderate total playtime. It's been a while but I remember the fractal reward system being a very...

Wow, that is a really incredible set.

So far this set is really nice. Might end up being my favorite of all time.

It's not what you think, he's a chiropractor and sees someone who can help put his grandkids through college.

Probably.

Having played my sixth playthrough of BG1 last year, give BG1 and BG2 a rest, WorC.

I have no idea who Pheerie is or what he's talking about but come December I'll be rolling out some bomb ass videos of me and my new caster crew straight deleting whatever missions they release in the next expansion. While I'm rolling new content, any active Frostreaver player that belongs in...

So , and . My prediction is it'll end similarly to well, all three of those fictions. Carl blows up everything and turns an interconnected galactic civilization into a bunch of somewhat disconnected civilizations.[/spoiler]

And who would've thought the one thing the community wasn't allowed to vote on would be the worst part of the server?

Yes

So which of you man children bought minas tirith?

StarCraft with Mass Effect cutscenes.

I've always kinda assumed that Earendel's time at Wube was limited and that he'd quit after Space Age developed enough for the big features he wanted in Space Exploration to be viable. His message in Discord: Him looking to start his own games isn't tooooo surprising, I imagine he's burnt out...

I want to watch a TV show that is exclusively a beautiful woman hitchhiking and then making revolting but maybe delicious meals in the passenger seat.

The last book had too much action, dialog, character development and plot. I wish they replaced more of that with navel gazing cultivation. When is Zac going to start on the 17 sutric wonders of pancreas strengthening?

I wouldn't put too much weight in the presence of queues, from what I understood the queue limits vary quite a bit between servers.

I haven't played Diablo4 but isn't Diablo much, much more challenging than grinding mobs down as a war/rog/shm?

I've been saying it for years. They need to erase 7/8/9 ASAP. Star Wars fans simply can't become interested in anything after episode 6 beyond using it as a popcorn flick. That being said, the team that produced Mando Season 3 is incapable of shepherding the Star Wars franchise into a better...

I didn't play THJ so forgive my ignorance, but why were those your options? It sounds like THJ is just a power fantasy where you can do whatever and still win. Why couldn't you just venture into random zones for your level and kill everything? That's how I leveled a new group on live a month...

The "Get hit by an airplane and survive" club is quite a prestigious one. I hope she wasn't mangled by getting yanked to hell. edit: only minor injuries

Yep. Part of it is also what kind of neighborhood you want to live in. I've currently got young kids and chose to live in a neighborhood where houses are packed together with families who also have young kids. The closer everyone is to each other the more disruptive commonly banned situations...

The certainty of organized and isolated backups is boring. The best backups are the accidental ones created out of laziness. Nuking the database is way more exciting when you only dig yourself out by pulling out that old dev box you've been meaning to scrap that happens to have a new enough...

Something I think about sometimes is that it's very possible the technical people that smugly refuse to use AI today will grudgingly use it in the future and be more generally productive than people who signed up to pioneer AI slop.

Not to derail this thread with HOA stuff, but this is the right attitude to take if you don't want to be governed by HOAs. Too many people choose to live in a clean and tidy dense suburban neighborhood that's governed by an HOA but then balk at the specific rules they don't like. If you don't...

For those that didn't see Sicario
