I’ve seen a lot of people completely lose interest in life and fade out once they retired, though it’s hard to tell if that is a result of retiring, or a result of their bodies starting to fail on them (which is why people used to try and retire ahead of that happening).

He’s said himself, he doesn’t know how to retire. Art is his passion, and he’s basically said that if he stopped creating, he might as well be dead. And joked that he will probably die at his desk. Even after his last “retirement” he spent a whole bunch of time doing manga before deciding to make a new film.

I’m normally pretty switched on when it comes to Anime news, but I had no idea this was even happening.

Let’s be honest: it’s because a whole lot of the content of the game is going to be procedurally generated and it would be difficult to impossible to create voiced dialogue for the protagonist for that, at best it would be a set of repetitive quips and exclamations.

I think this is the most frustrating thing about the game. They had so much potential in these characters, so many interesting things they could have explored in detail, and instead would just introduce an idea then move on from it so everything feels superficial. Even the gameplay ends up feeling that way - gear is…

Final Fantasy XVI suffers from its decision to be an Action Game and not an RPG, and suffers from having an absolutely stupid final act that throws out everything it had been building toward for the rest of the game (including the whole slavery thing) in order to abruptly shift the plot direction into beating god’s…

I can’t believe that people are even remotely considering the Ezra theory, it makes absolutely no sense and would completely undermine the entire plot as well as being wildly out of character. The whole tie-in with the Arthurian legend - a former Knight that was cursed to become a werewolf by a witch from Morgan le…

This is the thing no one even talks about. King is the largest mobile games publisher by revenue that is not located in Asia. Microsoft has esentially *nothing* in the mobile space. That’s the real jewel in the crown here.

I understand statistics fine - I’m not quite sure you do though. I’m not saying they should be canceling airshows. I am saying they should not run them in areas where an accident has higher risk of collateral damage.

This seems like extremely strong justification for ensuring that the airshow is not held out of an airport that is in a populated area - if bringing together that much of civil aviation means a crash is almost inevitable, it seems pretty irresponsible not to be ensuring that when the inevitable crash does happen, the…

It’s pretty unlikely to get parts off current operators - they’re going to also be trying to source the same parts. You need to look at all the countries that used to operate the aircraft but have since retired it, because that’s where the spares are going to be coming from - places like the Czech Republic, Cuba, Egypt…

More likely the Jedi in question is Ezra? The whole driving thrust of the show is meant to be the group going into the outer rim trying to find him

Paladin being top makes sense really, they are the most versatile class. You’re a decent melee fighter, so you have physical abilities when needed, you get access to extremely useful healing spells, and your main stat is charisma so you’re also able to leverage that for more interesting dialogue options. With the way…

The CHA part of it is likely also why you see Sorcerer, Warlock and Paladin at the top of the rankings. You get various utility *and* can be the face of the party

Not saying they don’t work, rather that they don’t always work and they are not always effective long term. It’ll keep them out if they’re coming in to scope the area out but it won’t evict them if they’re already inside.

One thing to note with the ultrasonic ones, is that while they do work to keep mice and rats away initially, it’s only really going to deter them from entering, not make them clear out if they’ve set up shop in your house. They also often get used to it after a while - I guess smart enough to figure out that it’s not…

Plans change, and that was well before BG3 blew up. He was also out there saying they expected to get ~100k peak players at launch, not over 800k.

To charge that much it would need to also be similar in size to BG3, which means years of development, at which point why not just make a whole new game and not a DLC expansion?

Given how massively successful BG3 has been, especially compared to D:OS2 which was only really moderately successful sales-wise, I’m not sure that going back to that well is such a foregone conclusion.

I mean sure, but at the same time I don’t think that that would necessarily be so intrinsically tied to the setting they couldn’t take it out again in a do-over. Or limit it to the “bad guys”. Forgotten Realms as far as I know still has slavery (eg with the Underdark Drow and also in Thay) and FR is basically the…
