“Civilization has been tried on consoles before, with Revolution, which couldn’t really capture the full experience.”

Shrug. The genie’s out of the bottle, cats are already introduced into all the various ecosystems that people are clutching their pearls about them wrecking. Whether or not you feed stray cats, local bird populations are still going to be impacted by the presence of some quantity of stray cats. If you like cats and…

It sucks so hard... Fortnight took off like immediately, and Paragon was cut in that same timeframe. Like, if they’d waited three more weeks before deciding to take it out back and shoot it they would have had all the money and spare parts to throw at it a studio could ever ask for. And Paragon was actually good, way…

It’s referencing the motivation system. That blue face is the symbol students have with 0 motivation. Motivation resets to 0 after training. So something something trained everyone for this moment and now they’re unenthusiastic because their motivation is all used up.

This is precisely my experience with this game. 

The smaller picture is Sean Penn.

Compendium One.... which Amazon listing describes as containing “the first nine volumes,” but which you say has “all 54 issues,” but if I try to look at other buying options on Amazon it talks about “books” and “volumes” but no “issues”...

I’m not sure if publishers get how confusing this is to filthy casuals like…

There were a number of things that went wrong with this case, and the loophole law was only one of them. Alaska voters ousted the Judge who presided over the case as well. There’s a sense that the sentence had more to do with the victim being an Alaska Native than it did with the letter of the law. 

Counterpoint, it is decently fun and accessible for free, has plentiful character customization (both visual and skills), weapons are very different, has a decent hunt roster of very different monsters, and hunts can easily be picked up and put down in 15 minute chunks without needing to overthink anything. Nobody is…

My experience with Everquest wasn’t super long, but it was my first experience playing video games with other people, and I have super vivid emotional memories of the couple months I played even 20 years later.

It was right when the patch hit in 2000 that allowed Erudites to be Shadowknights and Necromancers. The thing…

How long does it take for used water to cycle back into oceans? I really have no baseline for even speculating... but in a hypothetical desert where you’re desalinating a bunch of water to irrigate crop land, won’t the irrigation just trickle back into the ocean eventually, so that salinity isn’t actually creeping…

Okay, but can we talk about how they name the black hole "Assassin Fourteenli"? Wtf scientists, thats some sinister shit

Lol you really think the servers will still be on in a year? Optimistic 

As one of those sad Paragon players that had the rug pulled out from under me when Epic decided they loved their new kid more than their old one, I wholeheartedly endorse this F rating. There were shennanigans around their refund process then, though I never requested one myself.

So you’d propose that the person’s loved ones sign off on strangling/starving their loved one to death, who though non-responsive, may nevertheless be conscious? Cool cool.

The update so wildly impacts the takeaway of this story that a followup is needed. Also, fuck this Punisher fellow if he faked a girl pro as a longcon to support the premise that girl pros are fake.

Damn, you really let him get away with claiming he “delivered” with Shroud?

I work in tribal administration in Alaska, and the concensus among tribal reps I've chatted with seems to fall somewhere between “Warren is appropriating native identity for cynical reasons,” and “Warren is doing active harm to the concept of native sovereignty at a time when it is already coming under attack.” HuffPo…

There absolutely are institutional and logistical obstacles to using the court system for a restraining order, I’m under no illusion that it’s “easy”... but it really is the right thing to do when you fear for your safety, right away, every time. You can receive emergency orders on very short notice (same or next day…
