    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    Thing is... nobody makes good videos of "new upcoming MMOs" anymore... I mean, take the original video. Nearly all those "upcoming 2019/2020 PC MMOs" are still at the crowdfunding early access stage, or dead. Astellia launched, and shuttered a year later (at least in Korea, meaning it's kept...

    That's because it was 2 years after the previous thread! (and this one is headed to its 2 years anniversary... and still not much)

    Skye Storme's series, I see... Clicking on any item on your construction interface lists what it is used for, assuming you have researched the appropriate technology. Like, early, it shows my Particle Container being used only for the two Logistic Towers, but once I've researched it, it will...

    And yet, it adds so much flavor to that game. About every item on its belt is boring. But the fluo cubes? Those you recognize instantly.

    Be sure to check what you get on the Patreon for any webserial though. Not everyone applies the same rules to various tiers. Beware Of Chicken, for instance, does not do advance chapters - it's purely an appreciation for the author and Discord access to chat with him and the rest of the big...

    There aren't many series (or standard books) that include a heavy crafting aspect. Well written, and promising (which is why I picked it as a patreon for the next months).

    That's the part that irks me. Every tier of progression I realize I've completely messed up my setup, and I'm tempted to restart to "do it right this time".

    The whole thing is an hilarious comedic take on all that is xianxia. It's what we've been waiting since Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4 's author vanished! (homage made with chapter 6 title) "You Tell 'em, Big D!"

    Fair warning: One of my biggest gripe with the series is that, at one point, the author completely switches progression. Suddenly, the System is not important at all. It's all about "images" and cultivation-inspired progression. All the interesting mechanics that were used? They no longer...

    Yea, the ninth (since Pluto is now merely the most famous TNO instead of a planet) planet (if it exists, some studies say that the 9th hypothesis is not necessary to explain the orbits) is more massive and thus probably larger than Earth, but probably less than Neptune.

    Things happen, but very few of them. Most chapters have a kind of sameness to them that make them blur in your mind, which isn't good. (New) stuff does happen, but not often. It's still way above most RR stories in terms of writing per se, but it is probably starting to suffer from serialitis...

    Spoiler warning for those following Magic Smithing. It's my Feb/March Patreon sub (I usually sub at least 2 months periodically to any web serial that I really follow - and boy, the author draws over $9,000 per month on that one). Shit is about to hit the rotating impeller.

    They're virtue signalling. It's not trying to cater to those categories, it's trying to cater to the predominantly white male SJW crowd by saying "see: we're the ones you must trust!"

    Surviving the Aftermath (Paradox)(Colony Sim)

    Yea, as I mentioned in the general playing thread, been playing it. They seem pretty responsive - CM very active in the steam forum, and after the last patch broke down completely the balance the wrong way, they pushed a small hotfix very quickly. So far, relatively hopeful.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yes, because a lot of the dialogue options are locked behind stat checks, and mostly those two (probably a few CHA ones as well, but not as much). You see that explicited in BG3, I think, where some dialogue and actions tells you why you're allowed to pick that choice due to class/stats.
