Twice:

One by the dining room, one for the pool, one per bedroom. It’s a three story house, that’s not a stupid number of bathrooms if you don’t want to have to climb stairs to pee.

Well, it’s unlikely to lose value. A piece of bare dirt in that areas worth a few million, let alone one with a nice house on it. A house is a pretty sound place to park a few million bucks. If it all goes to shit and he ends up selling it for half its value in a few years that’s still a tidy sum to retire on and a…

I think I’d call this less of a Minecraft and more of a Garry’s Mod vibe, in that it seems like they partially forgo the magic pocket inventory in favor of making you handle objects in-world once they’re created. That’s a gameplay constraint I like assuming it doesn’t get tedious, there’s just something cheaty about…

A gift for you, Freddy fan.

Ok, that’s fair, except that being able to view old matches and play catchup on the history of the game as a new player shouldn’t have barriers in its way. More to the point preserving the history of the multiplayer scene shouldn’t be dependent on keeping hard drives alive with cracked copies of old versions of the…

Recorded games. A replay is all the action in a match recorded as a log of actions rather than video, so the game can repeat the recorded game exactly and let the viewer control speed and camera position, and the file size is a lot smaller than a video. So rather than just a screen recording like a let’s play, it lets…

It won’t be easy because DRM, and hard to do if you haven’t already done it by the time the patch comes out. It’ll be out of reach for a lot of the playerbase, especially new players.

Brazil has 200 million people and a couple of home-grown martial arts that are pretty famous globally. Two Brazilians in a cast of dozens of fighters is to be expected. What’s weird is how few different Chinese and Indian fighters there are given those countries have high populations and a lot of fighting styles.

I…

Dick Grayson, gracin’ dicks.

This is really comparable to premium payware flight sim pricing. A developer can spend thousands of person-hours modelling and scripting an incredibly detailed representation of a real plane and charges 20-40 dollars just for it or more. The difference is that in a lot of cases those were third-party, not sold by the…

If they shoot down the medivac in flight does it kill all the passengers? That’d be a good reason not to mount your whole team on one.

I actually do a variant on this method using my electric kettle. The problem is that the kettle isn’t big enough to hold all the water I want to boil, so I fill the kettle full and put the rest on the stovetop.

See Arkham City/Knight, where Robin’s version of the Batclaw pulls him to the target instead of the reverse. Which would make sense if Robin was a kid in that series, but he’s an 18-20 years old and HUGE. Also Batgirl’s version (from her DLC) works like Batman’s and you can’t tell me that Barb is heavier than Tim…

The people in the Peter Principle wanted the promotion, or at least felt pressure to take it. Kirk’s position is to fight against it.

Not selling the old phone means that it’s rather pricey insurance. In your scenario you’re keeping an old model phone in the drawer and its resale price is dropping month on month. If you sold it for cash as soon as the new one came out and then bought another used phone of the same type when your shiny new one broke…

I think we’ve now reached a point where we can draw a distinction between “survival elements” like finding food and water to stay alive, and “RPG elements” where you level up and scrounge crafting materials to improve your gear or gain abilities. I think of something like Monster Hunter as maybe having both.

The idea…

Looks like AAA open-world games are trying to rope-in some of the grindy crafty scavengy element from survival sandbox games like Day Z, Rust and Ark, without accounting for the fact that those games by their nature have a different pace and structure.

Those Transformers games by High Moon were fantastic, and even if you didn’t like them it’s bad form to cheer when someone else doesn’t get to have what they like (assuming what they like isn’t actively hurting someone, of course).

Remember that these stories happen in an environment where there are no superhero comics. (I know Marvel has a running gag about Marvel publishing comics in-universe about the “real” heroes, this is DC) In a world where you haven’t spent a lifetime reading about these kind of characters with an unprecedented level of…
