Outriders generally does a good job with its loot curve. You might see 2-3 exotic weapons over the course of your campaign before you hit endgame, maybe a couple more if you’re lucky, and they typically come as rewards after major story encounters so they feel like you put some effort into earning them.

I’m revisiting…

Man I still remember getting polled about this by some firm Ubi hired at an E3 adjacent event years ago in like 2013. They asked how I’d feel about a game similar to Black Flag that I could play with my friends.

I kind of wish instead of trying to make Pirate Destiny they’d just give us that. I don’t need to be able to…

I think you can still do most of that. They’ve added multiple banners to plant in corpses after pvp kills.

They got rid of stuff like pvp flagging and dropping exploding rabbits in Elwyn Forest to blow up level 1s though.

Labor protections are generally bad in most of the Western bloc, as nations like France and the United States typically pressure peer states into passing weakened labor/union laws as a requirement for foreign trade and investment.

I don’t think so - Forge never nullified hype around new maps in previous iterations of the game.

Plus, preserving your initial player base is more important for selling content long term.

This is why Forge should have been a release priority. Content draught wouldn’t be an issue if the community could churn out maps and modes while 343 rotates a community spotlight playlist.

In any hypothetical where that’s on the table they could just include a clause guaranteeing them the right to purchase the IP back before the holder goes on the market.

Barring a major scandal that upsets his core constituency (most of the voters in the state) it’s unlikely he will stop being Governor until such time as he chooses. It’s incredibly difficult to defeat an incumbent governor, even more so one that is independently wealthy with deep donor connections who can outspend any…

It would be incorrect to label the pro-Recall movement as an ideological monolith - it was made up of a weird aggregate of Trump diehards, bog standard California Republicans, people mad about the gas tax or Assembly Bill 5, and yes, antivaxxers.

I think if your kids are capable of separating fiction from reality and have a healthy understanding of the fact that Darth Vader is the bad guy, it’s just Halloween as normal. Before Darth Vader we dressed up as ghosts and Draculas and Frankensteins. It’s a celebration of what we fear, to some extent. We don’t look…

From the city of Los Angeles’ final 2016 IFR for the LA River Ecosystem Restoration Project:

“Presence of Sites Contaminated with Hazardous Substances. Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) is present or suspected to be present in parcels key to the Project. Because the USACE policy is to avoid HTRW…

My source is that I worked on the LA River revitalization project on behalf of the state for two years and am intimately familiar with the issues surrounding it as a result of many hours of stakeholder briefing, site inspection, commission reports, etc. Your selective interpretation of my original post doesn’t negate…

ACOE laid concrete to mitigate flooding but contemporary watershed reclamation proposals maintain the concrete layer along northern parcels of the river to mitigate groundwater contamination. The ground contamination is a result of how they disposed of the sodium cooling elements from the reactor - they stuck the…

Fuck Putin, my dude, I’m just pointing out that we have our own radiological disaster we don’t talk about. Knowing that, it’s entirely believable that Russians aren’t taught what happened in Chernobyl.

From 1957 to 1964, the Santa Susanna Field Laboratory in northern Los Angeles operated an experimental nuclear reactor…

One of the worst radiological disasters in American history occurred in the Santa Susanna mountains in Los Angeles County in 1959 with the partial meltdown of the reactor at the Rocketdyne facility there, which was promptly covered up for decades.

It isn’t taught in any schools and almost nobody in California is aware…

Reading the article appears to be a challenge for a bunch of folks so: Nakamura said he was mistakenly under the impression that Disrespect was no longer banned from the platform.

I don’t know where in California you live (perhaps a Tesla dealership, or charging station) but that’s simply not true and easily verifiably not remotely the case.

I’d argue that the current look borrows more significantly from Jackson’s depiction of Minas Morgul (particularly the lambent green glow on the pale stone) more than the older hive architecture borrowed from Mordor in general. One is the realm of the Witch King, and one is the realm of the Witch Queen.

This is the thing that makes me most sad about Destiny. My friends and I can reminisce about the best parts of Halo, and then go play it!

But when I introduce someone new to Destiny, and they ask about the best campaign content, I can tell them about the incredibly cool attack on the tower, or the final battle against…

Yeah, they really need to stop calling them expansions. It’s not an expansion if the game isn’t expanding. I was playing with a new player recently and I realized that new players have absolutely no context for huge amounts of the content they will play through. You hop into a strike and an AI named Failsafe makes…
