Uh, I was notified it was shipped ten days ago. Then again, it has been stalled at the logistic center for ten days.

Just that sentence makes me chuckle so... hard.

I've been selling all my HQ gathers at the AH for a while.

Fun little series that I discovered: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/47931/planetary-cultivation Basically, what's in the blurb shown just above: Typical arrogant cultivator arrives on Earth in the hope to score an easy victory - only to find that Earth has no spiritual components nor...

Aaah, committee. The place where stuff goes to die.

Most of the regular studios that do OSX tend to do a good job. A lot of Paradox titles, for instance, are day 1 clean releases (those that are on OSX). That's why I believed Amplitude, after all. I've written off the game, uninstalled the rest of the Endless stuff (which I tended not to play...

"Will" bring: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/11/an-incident-with-the-james-webb-space-telescope-has-occurred/

I've yet to play. I should launch it for at least 5mn so that I can review bomb it on steam. I play on OSX. All of Amplitude Games were always on OSX, so when they said for their first game post-SEGA purchase that it would be on Mac, but "shortly after release", I simply pre-ordered, and...

That's what happens if you insist on every single expansion making the others obsolete and having nothing to do whatsoever with the others. You're not playing World of Warcraft, you're playing WoW1: Vanilla, WoW2: TBC, WoW3: WotLK, ... Wow8: BfA, WoW9: Shadowlands.

Yea. And that's also indicative. By the resume, Jen O'Neal looks like the right person to head a Game Development Company for Activision. Ybarra looks like the right person to head a Live Services Business Unit for Activision. Guess what are Bobby's priorities for Blizzard?

FTFY.

Just remember: The best nickname for FF14 is "World of Cinematics". ... although they get your to either hysterical laughter or tears at times, despite everything.

Fractals? Fractals? I haven't played GW2 for over three years, so... Wait, what thread am I in???

There's quite a few impressive bosses of the Library, but I'd go for Erathostenes (the first person to calculate almost correctly the circumference of the Earth). If you want to go with history, then that's probably Aristarchus, the last Librarian before it started to decline, but grammar and...

More on the WoW design, and the time-walking design ("you have only two weeks to experience old content, then it's gone for the next four months! Forget about FF14 raids, or you miss this opportunity!"): https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0232318

Automated driving is going to remove some of that mystique...

Looks like the earnings call hasn't been good...

Wow (pun intended). More fun? O'Rly.gif

Haven't seen much about this, just discovered the "minor drama": Yes, that's Blizzard newest co-lead, selling carries in WoW.

I'm pretty sure the original strategy was simply to force everyone into the Facebook ecosystem. If you already have a Facebook account, why aren't you using it for the rest? "Everything you do, you do it via Facebook", that kind of things. Same thing as "use your Facebook account to log into any...

I wonder how much the sales plummeted that they need to "separate the accounts": https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/10/meta-removing-facebook-login-requirement-for-quest-headsets-by-next-year/

They know it's their last opportunity. Because at one point, even Congress won't be able to pass that pork when facing stuff like SpaceShip. I mean, half the two-billion-a-launch SLS missions could easily fit on Falcon Heavy in expandable mode (official price 150M$).

FTFY

Watched a few videos on the topic, the current hypothesis on inner monologue is a repurported self-correction mechanism. When you talk, your language center feeds the physical bits (lung/vocal cords), and simultaneously feeds back into your hearing center, so if you're speaking "wrong", you can...

To be honest, ARR MSQ is a bit of a mess, because they were hurrying to fix from an even bigger mess. But it is tolerable. However, the nickname "World of Cinematics" is appropriate. When you get an explicit prompt "set aside an hour before accepting this quest", you do know it's going to be...

Not only that, but people have noticed that the only feature interesting in 9.1.5 - which lands on Nov 2nd - is the Mage Tower with Legion Timewalking, which comes... "early December". That is, "just in time for you to sub an additional month".

He. People tend to mistake him for a female due to writing, but that's a he.

One of the reasons I loled in that "wow players get into ff14" video is that I could recognize myself as the cut-scene skipper. "Wait, you skipped the dungeon intro scene?" "Yea, I'll probably get it later on youtube, don't want to keep you guys waiti..." "DO NOT!" "ABSOLUTELY" "ENJOY YOUR...

If you ever tried to write a webseries, you'll find out that burn-out is a permanent threat. I admire those people who get webnovel contracts and stuff. That's why they include the right to pull out your story and reassign it - all their authors flame out and burn. Travis Deverell (Shirtaloon...

I'm not familiar with what a chargeback entails for both the customer and the company (I know companies get hit with fees and their payment processor statistics can get them kicked out, but what about the CC holder?). But given the shit you've been peddled and the way it was, I'd go straight for...

Blizzard stopped giving those, instead bundling everything into a global Blizzardwide "MAU" (Monthly Active Users), which also includes shenanigans, like WoW players doing the Heartstone promo just to get a mount: they count as "two" MAU for that month (despite using the same account) since they...

And did (but only after his original main actor died waiting for the movie to be shot).

For the SJW crowd, there is no such thing as satire.

Yea. Chinese liking a ... Japanese game?

And the purge goes on: https://www.wowhead.com/news/george-the-corpsegrinder-reference-removed-and-quest-dialogue-updates-324531 TL;DR: Latest victims are allusion to George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher for his official profanities against Alliance, and Don Quixote's entire quest line of "saving"...

You'd think it shouldn't. But that's Blizzard.

Another fun story: TL;DW: Player tames a gorilla, which gets named by default by the game as "Gorilla". Bunch of people decide to spam report the name as "offensive". Players gets a suspension and a pet renaming after a "thorough investigation" and a stern warning that his account is liable...

All of the wowhead articles dealing with "those" issues are pre-locked for comments.

The point stands. I'm sure there's great value for it. If you cared for all those things, you probably would have picked it. But if all you want is a PS5... then you're being told by BB "purchase all those services you never used and don't want to, and maybe you'll get a PS5 at MSRP". There's a...
