Yahtzee Croshaw’s Mogworld is baffling, strange and actually quite good. It’s about an MMO... But not the players and the game isn’t done being built yet. It’s about an NPC in the game trying to avoid getting deleted by the developers (more or less). His prose isn’t amazing, but the concepts and sheer imagination of…

Dads wear crocs so obviously it’s 76.

If you need a new GPU, take the $600 from the CPU + mobo upgrade and add it on. Probably around $1300 CAD total, depending on what you go with. Still way cheaper than the laptop.

I was wrong about them using Unity for Joe Danger, but it is all custom.

Where did you learn that they used Unity as a base? I remember Sean saying the whole engine was custom, because nothing existed that could handle the amount of procedural generation they wanted to do. They did it custom to build a content pipeline that would actually work for them. If they DID use Unity, I feel like…

That was actually confirmed at one point that Peter Molyneux is at the center of the galaxy... I know he was kidding, but on some level I kind hope there’s an easter egg that makes that true...

Oh my god I haven’t thought about Much Music in like... a decade........wow. But they introduced me to the Gorillaz, so I honestly owe them so damn much.

This video is so early 2000's it physically pains me... I desperately want to hate it, but I just can’t. Something about it I feel so weirdly OK with. I don’t like it mind you... but it’s OK.

While this sounds great, my only concern is that I think they did it the other way to begin with for a reason. The lower overall tick rate evens the playing field so that everyone has to deal with the same handicap. If everyone playing has a mix of shit and fantastic internet, it doesn’t matter because everyone gets…

No it’s not “clearly instance” because that would imply it depends on the server, which it clearly does not. Dropped connections have no effect on the game.

I like how Sean refers to the event directly as if they actually succeeded in finding one another. Completely ignoring the fact that they tried and failed. To me that suggests they actually wanted that to be a working feature.

The technological reasoning behind this is fairly simple to figure out, even without seeing the code base. The game does not maintain a traditional “tick-rate” as would be seen in other multi-player focused games. All player’s activities are passed to the server periodically by some means (can’t say for sure what…

I can’t wait to visit planet FUCK on Tuesday.

If you really need to nerf something about the ultimate I would nerf the range, not the timer. The timer is good as is, and if it were longer then it would give her an advantage during OT when pushing back a payload.

No! She’s still easy to kill if you use smart tactics. Flanking is her biggest weakness, use Tracer or Lucio to run behind her if sources are tight, or any higher powered character to take a side path and slip around her. She’s high defence and devastating head on, but that’s the way she should be. SHE’S A TANK.

I have opened seven crates so far since this started and gotten NOTHING from the Olympics set. So yes this is bull shit. Other people I know getting 2 or 3 of the SKINS already out of only 1 or two crates and my getting jack shit out of SEVEN, that’s bull shit.

This image has made me very uncomfortable....

Overwatch meets Rocket League! I’m Down!!

Partially related I gotta be honest, the screenshot up top from an artistic perspective, looks quite lovely. They really nailed that cell shaded comic book vibe.

Normally I hate these kind of stories, because I’m just not that interested in random accounts of streamers I don’t watch. But for some reason I read this whole article and thoroughly enjoyed it! Something about a mother adopting her daughter’s crass life style so freely is awesome. My mom would never be cool with…
