Got that level of service back in the old days with British Airways with normal business class. Transport in Paris running late, I arrive late. The flight attendant took me down on the tarmac, we drove across two different tracks up to where the plane had parked, just in time for a stairs to...

What? You... hate Dragon Ball Z? The one anime that succesfully redid the one and only Monkey King? Heaten!

Starch, green tea... soybean flour... I can't even imagine... (also, it was never seen on my - real - japanese restaurants in Paris. Not the chinese-run sushi shops, the real, hole in the wall ones)

I stopped DotF after the fridging of the - finally - girlfriend. You spend an enormous amount of time teasing us with the obvious "she's going to be the one", and you do a small timeskip where it finally happens, only for evil mom to show up and kill her in the next chapter because she's...

They explain the Radiant pack after the end of the tiers. Basically a pack of all kind of merchs: All themed based on which book you purchased.

/em looks BPEL on the Internet /em sees XML /em starts laughing hysterically and requires help to breathe...

Although the wind can be extremely fast, the atmosphere itself is 1% of Earth's. A "tempest" on Mars is basically a strong breeze here. Enough to blow dust around (since zero humidity), but not much more.

And they will absolutely not up the "normal" price before, no sir!

I still haven't started Captain. I had it on auto-purchase, because Will Wight, but after hearing about it, I kept pushing it deeper and deeper into Mt. Tsundoku...

That's the original method by Archimedes.

Pi is irrational. There are multiple formulas that have Pi in them and are used to derive the approximate value of Pi. The "classical" is Pi/4 = 1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11 + ... but it is very inefficient to calculate Pi. Most of the formulae are based on (surprise!) geometry...

They admitted it, no? The internal XP was originally for total XP, and you had formula for total XP needed to get to level N, since you could go up or down in levels at any time. They did want to slow down level gain starting at 35, so they added a 1.1 multiplier for XP starting at 35, with 1.2...

As a reminder, Einstein got a Nobel prize for... the photoelectric effect. Not relativity.

Palworld is: - Pokemon with guns (the official pics have Lamballs garding their base with machine guns) - Pokemon with slaves (your base run on slave labor, although you need to be careful with their health, or your efficiency suffers) - A game where you can capture people and put them on your...

*EDIT* Google is borked, I am way off...

The mass of the black holes always felt odd compared to the galaxy around them. A lot of people tried to model the accretion of such black holes in a galaxy and it never came out good. This looks more like the formation of solar system, where the sun forms first while the lighter planets form...

Weird. I could have sworn the guy showed probability dropping. Or maybe he swapped the pictures? Anyway, good to know.

There's a video I've seen with a guy who did a speedrun for flying mounts and tested on starting pals, no combat (apparently, you can hold your pal sphere on a target to see your current chance, something I never did). Once he consumed his lifmunk statues, the capture chance displayed dropped by...

Six (or is it seven?) ore nodes. Plus an extremely defensive position. The author also uses it to cheese the lvl 12 mini boss by aggroing and running into the base so that all his pals pile up on him, and get an easy kill/capture.

I may have restartitis, but that starting base location does look awesome. All you lose is the traveling merchant who can't find a way to your base once you establish it. (and I can confirm that the miniboss does, in fact, like to come around and suntan on the hill where he builds his house...

There is probably a minus sign instead of a plus somewhere. Or vice-versa. Right now, the effigies are sitting in my inventory, and I'm not touching them.

There are probably big meetings about "why haven't we done an openworld survival Pokemon game yet?". If you skim a lot over the Pokemon lore, you could certainly make one. As the now-censored mod attest, strip the "with guns" for the "kiddies" aspect, rename sanity into something less...

Apparently, a real cash farm is a Mau ranch: (it's at 19:15, if the timer doesn't work)

They were looking to sell "that tabletop stuff" since 2020. COVID delayed things, then their cashflow problems came around.

I've seen enough "urban utopias" to know they usually fail rather badly, because the designers never understand people. Last one I watched a doc about was the Amsterdam "utopian quarter", which turned into a crime-infested hellhole, attracted only immigrants and became a ghetto.

It least it's to sell skins. A lot of games are there to sell power.

Since Tencent needs some more money after being hit by Chinese Regulations, they probably got marching instructions. That's also why Legends of Runeterra isn't surprising, since China doesn't want lootboxes.

Nevsky? That or the obvious Peter "The Great".

So did I. But after I left the theater.

She's right. When you're watching a blockbuster, you stop thinking of the world, because your brain disengages. That's the ultimate immersion.

"You will own nothing and be happy"

They had evacuated the town for the previous eruption a few weeks ago, but it had quieted, so half a dozen people had come back. Well, they've left quickly.

For all the good that it did them, since WoW got dropped by China (not finding a replacement distributor after the previous contract ended means China didn't want them to be around anymore).

"We are offering the first closed beta for free". Also, "the first closed beta is entirely covered in NDA, but wait until the next beta and you'll see!!!". "In other words, we have previously released an MMORPG game". Also, "we launched an open beta of Kayra Online, before we shut it down...

Asset flip. Definitely.

Yes. The video above does a good summary of the sheer amount of assets that were used to make the trailer. It's all Unreal assets and animations, no sign of an actual game.

It's actually a google translate of Turkish (that's where they are). It's supposed to be "Middle Ages", not Middle Earth. Somehow. They started five years ago as a one-man turkish guy making a MMO. Then the "business" side went in, the original EQ-style MMO got cancelled, and you had Quinfall...
