I just realized that we're at book 8. Out of TWELVE.

Yea, but the Pyramids were built later, when the area was no longer much in use. The entire Sahara zone is oscillating between wet and dry climates on very long scales. Most of recent history, including that of what we'd call Egypt is in the dry period. There were, of course, people in the area...

Ah no. The whole area was basically necropolis land - the Pharaoh built their pyramids there because the terrain wasn't good for anything. Egypt has always been pretty much: near-Nile = floods = extremely fertile cropland / not-Nile = arid shit. The mere presence of the Nile meant you could...

Uh

The reason why it's dated 300BC-30BC is because it's a sarcophagus from the very last Egyptian Dynasty. Then, they got conquered by the Romans, and most of the old culture started sliding back. Hieroglyphics vanished, the realm was turned into a food exporter, etc. By the time of Jesus, it was...

I think Lindon does not have a Goldsign - if I remember right, the ascension to Gold was done through his link to Orthos? I may misremember, but I think that this is it. But otherwise... I think Yerin will be on top :)

Fuck this, when is Bloodlines coming out?

Any investor would require specific milestones by now.

It can't be resolved. That kind of shit never is. You can let it go, try to ignore it, but it's an albatross that is going to hang on your shoulders for the rest of your life. (which can be pretty long if you keep ranking up) If he writes it well, it is going to remain a kind of shimmering...

Relatively slice of life, not much action yet, I agree. It's going to end with Taika perverting Gordon with old movies and series, mini-Jason (Emi) wrapping Shade around her finger, and Jason left alone forlornly looking at Colin "You're never going to abandon me, old buddy?" (/em waves its...

Wearing my CISO hat: if you are still on Windows 7, you have your dick hanging out in the open for all malware to use. If you are on Windows 8.1, you're a masochist.

FTFY.

Means that when the game servers are hammered, you can't play even single player.

I've been recently on a roll on the "I waaaaaant to go to space, dammit" wagon. Because SpaceX, of course. So, a few recent re-reads. Can't find my old copy of that old Heinlein classic https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20417.Have_Space_Suit_Will_Travel so instead, I did a re-read of two...

It takes some time before this is adressed, but it is. I misspoke when I talked about Space Zombies... it's more of a Space Ghosts' story, with the attendant ghost implications.

Another webseries I still follow, but not on the main sites: https://deathworlders.com/ That's called the Jenkinverse (despite the titular Jenkins not having been in the story for nearly 2/3rd of the chapters), and a mainstay of Reddit's HFY subreddit. HFY = Humanity, Fuck Yeah! if you are...

My own current series on RR are also: - Delve - Infinite Realm - He Who Fights With Monsters And then: - Ar'kendrithyst: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/26727/arkendrithyst Basically, a fantasy world suffered a massive Apocalypse by being thrown into "our normal Universe"... and survived by...

Good idea. I was starting to think about it. It's mostly Litrpg/Gamelit, although there are other genres as well. It started as a site for fanfiction for Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (a litrpg webnovel) Other common web sites are: Webnovel : Webnovel - Your Fictional Stories Hub (site is...

Dunno how he'll use it, but

Don't worry. If you are playing it in Chromie Time, odds are that you will be ported out of the zone mid-questline: https://www.wowhead.com/news=318300/chromie-time-disabled-and-teleports-players-out-at-level-50

My guess? The week just after Black Friday.

Followed by dozens of Rextroy videos instakilling people.

You had various inklings about family problems, but not much. Now that we're Earth-side, the chickens come to roost. If anything, it kinds of explain why he's basically "FU YOU" most of the time. Do you Thanoscopter, dude? (that one made me laugh. A lot) But not everyone in Jason's family is...

Little fill-up piece while waiting for the late October full crew mission, but still awesome:

Rudy said he had discarded a mail before summer that said that most of Secret Lair would be collated into a full "normal" set in 2021 or 2022. He now expects multiple crossovers with Secret Lair exclusives until all those are released. So, they'll be technically correct about all cards being...

Isn't heirloom XP bonus gone?

That would be surprising. Not to say that WotC can't simply shuck all their design principles out of the gate, but all cards always explain themselves. As someone remarked, cards always explain themselves fully within the framework of the rules. Every "create token" explains all of the token...

That was mostly the Q&A/GM staff. Litterally the lowest on the totempole of employees, paid minimum wage despite being in Irvine.

Space zombies!

FTFY.

That was what I first expected to do, back last year when I cancelled. "I'll be back for the expansion". But as I've basically detoxed myself from WoW, I've felt less and less interested in actually playing the game. The only thing that was mildly interesting would have been the Tower... and...

"Amateurs talk about opportunities, but Professionals study about automation"

I was watching Bellular late yesterday, and he reminded us that basically, Sony is <100B$ market cap, while Microsoft is >1.6T$. They might not have the cash at hand, but they probably could. Then, they announce that they keep both console lineup, but anyone developing a game for one has to...

Eh. Once you see how much money a shitty thing like Angry Birds or Candy Crush made, you're left to wonder how you could ever miss that.

Jason's take on it (and also from the thread):

At this point, increases in resolution are only compensating for crappy AA. 4k is already close to retina resolution at close range, meaning your retina can't resolve individual pixels already. 8k on a 30" display is over what's needed. At television range? 4k is already way over what's needed...

There is also a very limited set of cosmetic transmogs that are not limited, if I remember right.

Can't beat the gaming master race.

Akhane. Elder Scrolls. Even Fallout. That is enough to get you salivating. Heck, they look like they have the first insane VR rpg, and they can snipe a PS5 exclusive (Starfield, whatever this RPG ends up being).
