    Loki

    The one that Thor refers to during Ragnarok, presumably.

    Loki

    Only Loki has a season 2 confirmed. I'm still hoping Hiddleston has cameos hidden in some of the next phase movies ("aren't you dead?" "rumors of my demise have been greatly exxagerated. Don't tell bro, though"), but I wouldn't be surprised if you get "Sylvie" cameos instead while Loki gets the...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Even the streaming was subpar. I mean, you had the voice of the ground commentator breaking up at times (and a 240p UI on a 1080p stream).

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Fun bit: the EU store doesn't have this problem. (I may yet reinstall a MMO after 2 years of clean HD living... but I've also got 4 weeks of real vacation time coming after almost a year of "you can take a vacation, but all restaurants, pubs and tourist spots are closed anyway, even the hotel's...

    I'm sure they are getting keys from their internal distribution system, then!

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    MMOByte did one of his regular "top 10 MMO people play", with estimates of how many are actually playing. And yes, WoW is now #2.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Ah, no, I used an unlogged view to get the full bundle. Otherwise, it doesn't show the price, as I've got all DLC already.

    "Your price: 78.56€" looks like it's been fixed (says -53%).

    That is the most obscenely OP item I've ever seen, I agree. I don't think even the "drain Essence" ability of Ryun or its dagger equivalent by Zach compares...

    It's a very old article. The use of "Nerfing" gained real traction with Ultima Online.

    Surviving the Aftermath (Paradox)(Colony Sim)

    I haven't revisited Aftermath, but I do play Endzone, for a comparison. They might have improved enough that I'll play it again, but only once it exits Early Access. The tuning whiplash made me relatively uninterested in trying to follow at the time. My favorite gaming magazine has three...

    Loki

    Turns out that being "pruned" doesn't mean killed, but sent into a chronological trash dump. Remember that promo picture where you had an old wooden ship crashed next to a startrek ship? That's where/when Loki's ended up being sent. Which, of course, means that he's going to stumble upon Mobius...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And the corollary, since you've invested "nothing" into making/joining the group, is that you feel no obligation to other players. You have the same emotional response and patience with them as you'd have to NPCs. That is the endpoint of that type of design: the other player as a NPC. The...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And has to collect some old moldy trinkets for some random schmuck in a tiny village. Because reasons. And the schmuck apparently has a better weapon than the one you looted from one the most important Lieutenant of the Old Gods last year, but he's ready to give it to you for moldy trinkets from...

    It's called Truck-Kun. It is the avatar of all the anime trucks repeatedly trying to kill protagonists or usually actually killing side characters.

    You mean, the over-the-top "oh, I must have fallen on it... oh, shit, I just dropped it and now it's all in small pieces" scene?

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    As long as it isn't Banner solo as the hero, Disney has full distribution rights. It's only if it's a solo Hulk movie that Universal has distribution rights.

    Hiddleston warned us in an interview that the good stuff actually is on ep 4-5, apparently.

    Ahh, so that's what he meant that we will truly appreciate the system once we see everything: 9.0: Let's craft the legendaries with the biggest stat budget when possible. 9.1: Want some Domination sockets? They're on the items with the biggest stat budget, so you chose wrong for your...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yea. That one feature might have been the only thing that drew me back to WoW after a year and a half of a hard no to BFA and goodbye to my guild. Then I saw how it was shaping up, and was concerned. So I said, let's wait until launch, fuck those preorders. Then I saw how it was launched, and...

    Loki

    Spent a few minutes zapping through a few nerd channels where they spent time watching at like 1/10th speed to see everything. She is listed on the file they give Loki to study as "Sylvie Laufreysdottir". My guess is she's not a Loki Variant. She's a Variant of Loki's twin sister, squirreled...

    Basically, outside of Microsoft (plus the "Onnn Dayyyy Ooonnnne on GamePass") the rest of the show is meh, in term of games. (I still think Devolver is the most meta good showing)

    And then Loki and Wanda fuck reality sideways, and you get Doctor Strange 2 as the multiverse that the promo video warns about finally occurs.

    His simple existence is a crime. That's what he was charged by the judge: being a variant.

    Yes. And we would have the survivors in a wandering fleet of spacegoat ships trying to find an habitable world to settle on, and you'd be a trainee on one of those, taking missions and shit on potential planets. (if you're unsure what I'm talking about, that's PSO2, by the way)

    People playing will use normal cards. No sense in paying a premium for some fancy extended art foil that curls like pringles when you can get a perfectly normal rare-slash-mythic for half the price or even less. That shit is for collectors/speculators/trust fund babies.
