Need to make it more interesting given the price. I mean, Core 2021 comes one week before (or is it after)...

A couple years? They already want it. I'm pretty sure both Activision, Ubi and EA are already building their own streaming service. All of whom will cost you 9.99, meaning nobody will subscribe.

Wrong. It will be the State that produced those guys vs the State that produced those guys. Any society in which eugenics is practiced at the level Dawkins says would work is a totalitarian regime that will not hesitate one second to have the chaingun-armed drones open up fire at the frontier...

With what? We're increasingly restructuring our environment and steadily eliminating "natural" selection pressures. The simple fact is, our survival and reproduction are no longer constrained by natural circumstances, they're constrained by our technology. We lack vitamin B in our rice diet...

People noticed (I did as well) some stuff tearing out of the 1st stage just before re-entry burn. This is the point where it falls off (just next to the left grid fin):

Launch successful, landing... not so successful. You see a nice view of the droneship landing platform, you hear the controller calling out "landing gear deployed" then nothing for 10s... and a small cloud of vapor/smoke coming out from just outside de camera...

239. They had an initial batch of 2 test satellites, but 3 of the first launch failed and have/will soon de-orbit. They're thinking about it, apparently yes. It would gives them a good cash infusion for their other projects, and it probably allows them to bring in Google who had already...

Scrubbed again, rescheduled for Monday.

There's a version of it apparently in Doom Eternal. You can have two players drop as demons on a doomslayer playing normally (if he's checked the box allowing it).

That deals also include them opting out of Nvidia's cloud service (so all of Activision titles are likely to be an exclusive to stadia). And there we are. Before there's even a "netflix" to grow the market for cloud gaming, the market is already splintering into a dozen competing platforms that...

WotC are betting heavily on the future of MtG being digital.

When you go from level X to level X+1, suddenly a mob that is nearly impossible becomes perfectly fine, despite you having gotten a relatively small amount of power? That is not a power curve, that is an artificial power limitation. The devs have decided that you are NOT ALLOWED to do that...

Interesting score: https://www.wowhead.com/news=311133/speedrunning-in-classic-wow-no-invisibility-potions-for-blackwing-lair-and-world 22min to do all of MC. Without the benefit of any gear from beyond.

No, but it needs a minimum of a two-digit M$ to look good. We've spent so much time ridiculing those "amateur games" with their "2000 graphics and animations" that we've proved the point. The real cost of a MMO world like the kind we want it is the art & zones, not the game design. Your...

At this point, NASA has asked for the same in-depth review of the way Boeing operate that they did on SpaceX. When you add the 737Max software woes to the two mission-critical bugs found, it paints a picture of systemic bad practices. (you know it will be found that both dev and Q&A are...

Essentially, the only non-asian triple AAA game for the next two years is Amazon's New World. That's it. And the only non-asians, non-triple AAA games are crowdfunded/early access scammed shits.

At least Torchlight Frontiers got redone as Torchlight III which isn't a micro-transaction riddled pseudo-MMO but a classic multiplayer successor to Torchlight II.

And it's an exclusive right. Meaning you cannot use it yourself ever again (outside of W3). Made a music? It belongs to Blizzard, and you had it on your channel BEFORE you put it on the mod, they can now DMCA your ass and remove that video - and you are not allowed to contest anymore. They so...

And Battle Royale. Do not forget their current major push, the Battle Royale version!

I am currently laughing at the new nickname "Beta for Azeroth".

Note highlighted word. There's two steps to be done there: Step 1: Find the game on Nvidia's catalog for the service Step 2: Launch the game which will require you to login into your store account The trick is that Nvidia has pre-installed copies for those games from the stores ready to...

Hope springs eternal.

My problem with WoW is that every game-as-a-service has converged slowly on the same set of solutions to keep people playing and rake in the cash from the "service". FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. For WoW, there's time-limited exclusives, which are still only relatively few (the mount drops who go...

... for the entire NA region. Everyone who was fighting N'Zoth in normal or heroic saw theirs depop. https://www.wowhead.com/news=310777/blizzard-despawns-nzoth-across-na-region-due-to-glitched-limit-attempt Some quality game management tools we have, people...

That's an exaggeration, since there are rares and uncommon with those alternate frames (or rares with extended art). But overall, you still get close to 1 mythic per pack, which is absolutely insane rates.

Do you mean for you in specific, or in general? Because Spellfire was part of the wave generated by MtG's explosion as a game.

On my to-read-if-I-ever-manage-it pile (that still has like 30 books before)

Never, ever, play on a full pvp server for a game with hardcoded factions.

I was watching Bellular talking about the state of Blizzard: Basically, Blizzard is currently engaged in a race to bottom. Cut costs, screw quality or care. "If nothing else, we'll relaunch a new set of Classic servers in 2 years."

Neutron stars are very energetic and material objects. Two neutron stars merging produce a "kilonova", so-called because it's about 1000 times the effect of a normal nova. A supernova would be 10-100 times that, but it's still a very violent event if you're close. But if something happened...

Yea. The only thing giving out gravity waves are so energistic, Earth would be ALREADY done for if that happened in Betelgeuse for some reason.

The latter. Once the nose capsule detached, the aerodynamic profile was horribly wonky and destabilized the whole thing, until the first stage blew up. The second stage apparently fell down more or less intact into the sea.

Can't fault him if he really gets dinged on Amazon by reviews based on the unedited RR stuff.

Just to be clear, they've also indicated how roguelike. If you have ever played Lost Dungeons of Norrath... then that's how roguelike it is. Basic floor sets with random "walls" closing some parts of it. I cannot wait until the players in beta scream at how the tower is randomly unplayable that...

He's been spending a long time (compared to the other books), so the common speculation is that he hit writer's block, and slapped something together in frustration. So you end up with a filler, and either you'll drop the series in disgust, or you STILL have to wait for a real book to come.

Read that one two years ago.

At the moment, bingeing on a few history books: Napoleon the Great, a general biography of said by Andrew Roberts, which is very great, follows the man with all of its genius and pettiness. Probably a more general (pun not intended) than above. India: A history on the topic of the second...

It's pretty much worthless without a book 9 along it.

And I regret a thousand times pre-ordering it. He pretty much lost his inspiration along the way, and went for filler. Shit. Horseshit. Donkeyshit, even.

That's the second iteration of... Withered Army Training. The infinite tower in Shadowlands is presumably the third, except that one is supposed - supposed being the operative word, because it's all statically design content still - to be endless progression. Until you hit the cap, I assume...
