First:

Try scrolling up to the article and watching the gameplay trailer.

Assuming the new engine is an upgraded branch of the old engine, it should be possible. I mean, it’s never been done before, but basically the PvP gameservers would be relaying all the same information to both clients, with the OW2 engine just giving upgraded visuals to those matches. The PvE and future content would…

I know it changes every time I look, but isn’t pork still considered rather healthy? I mean, aside from fatty and nitrate-rich bacon, at least.

Properly smoked pulled pork and beef brisket are far-and-away the best meats. Followed closely by perfectly cooked ribs. Though, uh, I’m firmly in team North Carolina BBQ Sauce.

It probably wouldn’t take the form of an “organized” war, with easily defined “sides.” More likely it would be mass civil conflict. The ‘war’ wouldn’t at battlefields or along state lines, it would be in the streets. There’d be no lines of marching riflemen, but instead molotovs and shootings.

Less of a war circa the…

Personally I just like the taste of the Impossible Burgers.

At least those I’ve had from both Burger King and White Castle. The idea of both cutting back on how much red meat I eat and being more environmentally conscious are just bonuses.

There’s a fair degree of leeway when comes to some food labels. But this isn’t one of those.

Texas chili is chili. Your standard red bean chili is chili. I’ll even get behind white bean chicken chili. But “Cincinnati Chili” is spaghetti.

The best part of that is that he’s got the banana upside down.

Like, sure, he’s talking like Skyman made the stem so mankind can crack open a banana like a cold one, rather than like, you know, it’s the point the fruit grows from.

But, seriously. You hold the stem and then pinch & pull apart the other end of the banana.…

This was my first thought as well. His hesitancy seems like it might be more than just a longing for “decorum.” Seems like maybe he just doesn’t think people in power should have their taxes looked into, for reasons.

This update fortunately doesn’t seem to have broken anything* on existing saves. Planets are only slightly changed, from what I’ve checked so far. Materials, technology, and construction have seemingly only been expanded.

*The only big issue I’ve had so far is that I can’t access the storage rooms on my freighter. But…

Nah there’s been additional inventory tabs for at least over a year. They just weren’t graphically presented as “tabs.” Instead the model display at the right (exosuit backpack, ship, or freighter) would show little nodes labeled “General” and “Technology”.

It’s also still the same size, unless they messed up and new…

Yes. There’s been a separate “technology” inventory tab since at least the NEXT update back in July 2018. Your personal inventory also has a third “cargo” tab. The only new bit is that you can finally move installed technologies to different slots. Which will make reshuffling your inventories to accommodate new…

Yeah, this exactly. The exploration starts to get a lot less interesting once you’ve seen most of the assets. Once you’ve seen all the “scorched world” types of flora, there’s just the occasional super-rare fauna to catch your eye. Or those crazy worlds where everything is giant. It would be great if there was…

As someone who put some money into Star Citizen... it’s more than a bit disappointing/depressing that they don’t have more in terms of gameplay systems and star systems done yet.

That said, they are making progress, and the alpha/pre-alpha builds have been overall pretty enjoyable. Last I played (I don’t currently have…

On the one hand, I can see how being able to just build whatever ship (or multitool) design you want would hurt the “wonder” of the wide range of RNG/Procedural designs.

On the other hand trying to hunt down the ship you want, in the right color, with the best slots and/or stats, is hell. The ability to just change some…

I really need to replace my old, dying desktop speakers, but a great set is so expensive. I managed to get my Sennheiser headphones on sale for something like $150, IIRC, when they retailed for something like $250-$300 at the time.

Meanwhile the Audioengine speakers I was eyeing haven’t dropped in price and I’ve never…

It’s because most of their stream budget goes to priority equipment like extremely high quality microphones and cameras.

Also just... not everyone is an audiophile. Personally I’ve got an amazing pair of Sennheiser headphones, but most of my friends are perfectly fine with whatever $50 or less pair they use.

Any extra-judicial holding area for the purposes of ‘concentrating’ (and thereby segregating from the populous) a specific group of people is a concentration camp. (That first bit is what makes them different from prisons).

If such camps institute forced labor, then they are also labor camps, but are still…

This exactly. This is unfortunately an old argument, and as much I wish everyone would just acknowledge US concentration camps, I’m not at all surprised at the denial.

America has always called our concentration camps “internment camps” pretending they’re something different because they weren’t run by Nazi Germany,…
