Are you living in a log cabin in the middle of the prairie? No? Then don’t burn wood. Period. It’s dirty, carcinogenic, and it dramatically worsens the air quality in your neighborhood. It puts everyone breathing it in—i.e., your neighbors—at a higher risk of stroke, heart disease, and covid.

“Imagine going to any IRL event and someone was screaming slurs at everyone and the organizers said ‘maybe he doesn’t know its bad?’”

“These figures are missing a lot of information”

PoC is literally a catch-all for people who are not white/caucasian. Not sure why this is confusing to you. PoC is a lazy term anyways, and a lot of times you see it used instead of specific ethnic terms because it looks better, and I hate it. I never call myself a PoC anyways, and I’ve never heard any of my friends…

Wait, you already have the game and instead of just playing it to see if you personally enjoy it, you instead rely on third-party hearsay that is, in this particular case, inaccurate? Alrighty.

It’s not. PVP is completely optional. I hate pvp and so far I’m digging the game. It has it’s problems and shortcomings but if you are interested, give it a shot.

I’m not sure the show has ever particularly established “no killing” as one of the central tenets of the original JSA

Maybe it didn’t make you a Grand Admiral.

The only bonus to flagging for PvP is a 5% bonus to experience. There’s no “HUGE” nerfs for running without PvP flagged.

Paper towels? PAPER TOWELS!?!?!

Please be courteous while you simulate a literal war for territorial dominance.

No it’s not weird. Global chat is terrible.

I’m still surprised at people’s shock that a non-subscription MMO with major PvP elements is a shithole with shithead toxic players and a shitty playerbase overall.

If food stays on the floor for more than five seconds, it means your dog’s getting old.

The show did a pretty good job of making Bruce seem complicit, which is fine I guess. But the difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense. Grand debates about “no killing” have to engage the audience, not just the fake people dancing inside the TV box. I was just sitting there saying…

The most Icicle II ever gets to do is as a hallucination.

They are, New World runs on Gamelift. This comment is a bit technical, but maybe interesting if you’re curious about how this stuff works. I used to work for an MMO middleware company in the early 2010s, so server scaling was a big part of my job. I’m not in that job any more but I still keep up with changes and I…

“Put your pants back on and close your trench coat”, I’m guessing.

Surely you aren’t implying that hundreds of thousands of gamers had their video cards die while playing New World? Though, hundreds of thousands of gamers do actually play the same handful of games. There are millions of people that exclusively play LoL, DotA2, CS:GO, WoW, CrossFire, Genshin Impact, etc. It’s actually…

Just finished reading a book and decided to choose between Dune and Perdido Street Station, I choose Perdido Street Station.
