Stratolaunch is a competitor to Falcon Heavy in the same way that a Fiat 500 is a competitor to a Freightliner FL86. They are both technically automobiles that can carry some amount of cargo, but nobody thinking of buying one is even considering the other as an alternative.

Don’t search for “patches”, that’s not how any of the people working to make Doom run on modern computers describes it and you’ll get very bad results from Google. Search for either DOSBox or better yet, “source ports”. The former is just a DOS emulator that will let you run the original game exactly as it used to be…

No, you haven’t really “given your side of it”. You asserted a claim, I asked for a logical basis for that claim, and now instead of explaining how “grinding for cards makes the game easier”, now you’re acting like I’m being unreasonable for asking you to actually explain your logic. I’m not even demanding citations,…

How does that change the difficulty? Anyone can already get their hands on whatever cards they want, it just costs money. If there are only a few decks that can be competitive in the metagame, just give people access to those decks, and whatever other decks they want to try.

That’s obvious advice, though. What game couldn’t be improved by being made better?

This is my generic what-to-buy advice: take a look at your budget, and also remember you want to buy games for it. Don’t spend more than half your annual gaming budget on a console or other hardware - otherwise you’re left with nothing to play on your shiny new toy.

Perhaps I misspoke. Nintendo has enough first-party games that they could do an entire Direct with just their own games. They throw in third-parties (especially those that are exclusives or really appeal to the Nintendo base), which makes their videos even more packed with cool games, but they could make it work alone…

Make. The cards. Free.

Yeah, I watched an Xbox Direct (or whatever they called it) for the first time to see the Halo PC announcement. It was a bit surreal - they had a lot of the same ingredients, the “here’s some awesome game trailers!” bits, the little comedy sketches, but everything was just a bit off. Part was probably that I just…

Universal Paperclips is easily the best clicker game I’ve ever played.

This is one reason why, for the RPG I’m working on, character building is primarily about equipment, not character attributes. There’s no assigning points or choosing perks at level-up, that’s all a fixed progression for each character, in the style of most console JRPGs.

According to a dev commenting on Reddit, it only requires a free account, not a subscription. Not a big deal - especially not if it means cross-platform multiplayer.

I’m really hype for this.

Well, what if the glass was just welded to a metal rim, which could be bolted into place, or riveted, or metal-metal welded? That would keep it modular and replaceable, but adhesive free. All the crazy glass-metal welds would happen in a factory.

Not only that, but uncrewed vehicles allow for drastic changes in strategy and design.

Open cycle is perfectly sensible for lower stages - specific impulse matters more in your last stage than your first, and is kind of trash in-atmosphere anyways. I’m not questioning why the F-1 was open-cycle, that made perfect sense.

Hey dipshit, he was president of Nintendo of America. Not president of Nintendo. You’re talking a lot of shit for someone who doesn’t know shit, so let me lay down an explanation of Nintendo’s corporate structure.

That last statement only applies to the closed cycle variant, where every bit of power you power you pull out of the coolant is that much less pressure in your combustion chamber. The open cycle variant runs much higher. The BE-3U does about 7x the thrust, and the LE-9 does 14x. That’s about 40% more than the…

Good catch, I should have double-checked that figure before posting.

Just a quick primer on the Saturn series, since I’m sure it will come up:
