It seems that most of it is optimizing combat. It’s hard to tell until we know how they handle the structure and flow of the game. With how cinematic and linear the game appears to be it could be one of those long speedruns that’s all about optimized movement and combat, rather than glitches and rng manipulation.

The future I went down the whole to learning the history and culture behind foods the more I came away scorned that “Authentic” is a loaded bullshit word. There is no “Authentic” cuisine. Everything is a mod podge of immigrants and trade mixing together constantly through time.

It’s also worth noting for a good chunk of the 20th Century, Lard was more widely used than butter and what butter did exist was pretty unregulated in terms of fat content. Cream was the only substitute that worked. Most transformations in immigrant cuisine happen out of necessity. Parmigiana became Chicken or Veal…

And just like that you’ve proven that train correct!

That would be interesting. A realistic fps that requires some sort of input sequence to cycle and reload your weapon rather than just pressing a button. Could work in a gamified way too. Gears' speed reload system was great

Or use a Robo-Advisor (Wealthfront/Betterment/Acorns), throw in 10 or so bucks whenever you have change and leave it. A guy I work with is super hawkish about buying and selling stocks is losing his shit. It annoys him everytime I just shrug about the market crashing.

To be fair in regards to Google Fiber, Telecomms ruined that. Between refusing to play ball, to tying Google up with lawsuits everytime they tried to begin work... It was a massive shitshow.

I always rocked a Full sized case since I was a teen. Now i’m 28, moved to multiple places of varying sizes. I want this so bad.

There's a wiki that points out what to press for what's not translated. I've used Qooapp to load it without dealing with APKs and from there you can link your Google account like normal I believe.

I like how Pillars of Eternity handled it. Different responses carried a hidden score tied to personality traits. Hit a threshold and your personality becomes documented. This opens up additional dialogue in line with your personality and changes how characters think about you and react. Most of it was low key, but it…

Heck, most modern online games could do better. For a genre being built around user engagement and retention, they’re pretty damn hostile to users trying to play the game.

I don’t see how this is negative for Sony. They don’t need a dedicated blog or forum presence when there are other, much larger, social platforms to focus on. Closing forums is one less hassle that won’t affect their bottom line the slightest. Having a small dedicated ecosystem doesn’t make sense for a company who’s…

Sameless plug for a easily digestible, video format of this same topic. I'm excited for the game, but early footage has me worried. I've seen a lot of inescapable corner block strings that result in endless pressure due to a lack of defensive mechanics. 

To be fair, the original rumor was Nintendo had 2 new Switches coming out. A slimmer console and a console with a different GPU. People speculated that it meant there was a pro console coming out. In reality, that second Switch had a reworked GPU to remove the hardware exploit that allowed people to freely hack the…

That’s crazy to think about Nintendo’s brand power. A typical industry rule of thumb is: Killer App Game Sales (Call of Duty, first parties, etc) = 10% of Install base. Everything else is a lot less than that.

The actual benefits are a bit skewed. More people should drink more water, if only to replace drinking other things. The thing is that our bodies are fucking amazing. Everything you eat, from fruit, veggies, to meats, get broken down and used. You gain water and nutrients from everything. (See: Vitamins = Largely Bulls…

To add to what the others are saying, Tekken's balance is much tighter than other games. There isn't a huuuge difference between top tier and bottom tier. This allows something like Panda to come out and win a major tournament. But also: The match up. Panda was low tier, few people play them or play against them. So…

Butter is one of the simplest sleeve tricks you can have. Just deglaze the pan, add butter, some herbs, and bam.

I don’t believe ANYTHING is entirely art. So many components of every art is a science, or rather a binding list of rules.

Other runners have been learned about “retroactive” bans upon applying for GDQ events despite being absent for a few years. So there most definitely IS some sort of background check for non-event behavior. So whoever did the check probably didn’t think much of it until it blew up, nail meet hammer style. From third…
