There’s some subtle, but nice, narrative improvements in the remake. Daniels and Hammond’s bickering sounds far more professional, and less petulant. Issac’s an active participant in problem solving, (for example: On the Medical Deck, Issac will determine what he needs and tell Hammond, instead of Hammond remotely…

So, this might be about 20 years out of date... all World of Darkness games have a unified core rule set. Sort of like how 3rd and 3.5 had D20, which was also used in other games, like D20 Modern.

AFIAK, those are the only two that can roll with that perk. Then again, I have a Heritage Gun with explosive kills that the Wiki says doesn’t exist. So... *shrugs*

The Tribunal and machine pistol can both roll with the Suppressor perk, which silences them. Egor has a silenced machine pistol in his base (it’s there all day), while the Tribunal has no fixed drop location, but can be looted off enemies.

Minor nitpick, the Strelak Verso doesn’t always have the slow on hit effect. Legendary weapons drop with two perks, one is randomly pulled out of a pool of possible perks (usually about 5, with two unique to the gun), and one fixed trait. In the case of the SV, the only thing you can be absolutely sure of is that it…

This is Omnigul’s brother, Omgilul. An easy mistake to make.

‘...she says, “Yes, he was the girl. Like all pitchers, he was really a catcher inside. When he was fucking someone, he was only really fucking himself.” Um, again, what?’

I think, remembering AoM is really important when asking the question of, “where did Volition’s confidence in the series go?” Even though it’s very different from the SR games mechanically, it was pretty clearly, their attempt to keep going after Gatt out of Hell.

I mean, it’s worth remembering, there really are six different SR games.

Wow, if GameStop is ignoring DMCA takedown requests, that could end extremely badly for them, especially with the link now being shared around.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, game companies used to design their games to connect directly to one another (technically, this would be called peer to peer now, but back in the day you’d set up the connections directly.)

When they decided they needed to control everything, and started designing the architecture around routing everything through a central server, they picked up the obligation for making sure that architecture was supported. So... yes.

You know what sucks?

There’s a minor but hilarious detail here. Nazo sent threats to the GSC rep which seriously sound like he believed that they were sending out false DMCAs to troll people, and didn’t understand that they were a legal representative of Bungie.

You are missing a few in there. At least on active player counts, Runescape (slightly cheating because there’s technically two games), ESO, BDO, and GW2 are all up there. (I actually saw an estimate recently that put Old School Runescape above WoW and FF14 in active numbers, though I can’t vouch for the validity of…

Legitimately, there’s a semi-unique situation here. Because of the tech involved, it (should be) pretty cheap to produce content for EQ1 today. And, keeping the servers up is not going to be particularly stressful.

Even at its peak, EQ’s population was low enough that it would put a modern MMO into maintenance mode at best, and would be likely to outright shutter it. The days when you could sustain an MMO on less than 100k players are long gone. Combine that with a boss that didn’t have a serious reward, and, yeah, a handful of…

Without going back and double checking the definition, a mass killing is four or more killed in a single event. I assume that a mass shooting has the same floor, four or more individuals shot during a single event. Not sure whether they need to die or not, to be counted, though four deaths is plausible.

It’s even worse than that with cryptocurrency, because the amount of processing needed increases based on the amount of activity on the blockchain.
