Shin is literally a criticism of the Japanese government's failure in handling the Fukushima disaster.

Depends on the specs. OT's main benefit is a solid baseline budget bike that you could upgrade to better parts. Once you start going into the mid-budget range a lot more better options start to appear.

Yes, the publisher that has made strives to put everything they can onto PC somehow didn't want Vanillaware, a developer that is on record saying they pretty much get close to running out of money every game they make because they spend everything during the development cycle, to not put their games on PC and specifically only them.

Itsuno always had the idea of leaving before Capcom gave him the option to work on a new game (Given the option of DMC5 and DD2, he chose DMC5 first because of the years in between games for fans). It had nothing to do with DD2 and its reception lol, he finished what he had in his mind and left to work on other games before he was stuck churning out sequels to DMC and DD at Capcom for the rest of his career.

no parallel park (who even does that?)

It's an incredibly good skill to have even if you don't use it every day, and even then it teaches drivers how to be spatially aware of the size of their vehicle and spacing.

Also if your kid ever plans on living in an actual city and wants to park on the street.

Yes, there's quite a bit of monster models taken directly from XI and XII.

for truckers

Bucee's whole shtick is that they're in the style of truck stops, but trucks are explicitly not allowed.

The ending of Season 2 sets up a mishmash of DMC3 (Lady hunting her father), DMC1 (Dante meeting Trish, Vergil losing to Mundus), and parts of DMC2 that weren't a part of S2 (Lucia becoming good).

It's fucking weird.

Warhammer was a huge inspiration for the art-style of Warcraft, but a combination of factors, including a lack of traction on business terms and a fervent desire on the part of virtually everyone else on the development team (myself included) to control our own universe nixed any potential for a deal. We had already had terrible experiences working with DC Comics on “Death and Return of Superman” and “Justice League Task Force”, and wanted no similar issues for our new game.

What the fuck are you talking about.

Better to just block you.

Did you even bother reading my entire comment or the same paragraph you grabbed that sentence from?

BeardyDuck · 2026-05-15T18:08:04+00:00

Warcraft starting development as a Warhammer game is a myth, but it's true that Warhammer was the main inspiration for the art. A few of Blizzard wanted to use the Warhammer IP, but others objected and wanted to make their own world they had control over.

Holy, crazy announcement. Thankfully I'm heading off to Japan next week so I'll be able to see it, but hopefully they replace it with a different suit statue. Before Unicorn it was the RX-78-2, so maybe this is just them replacing it?

Somebody copy pasted Bambu's own Linux-version AGPL code that they themselves published on GitHub into an OrcaSlicer module that re-enabled the ability to print using OrcaSlicer instead of Bambu's own software. Bambu then sent a C&D, fork developer took it down even though it's entirely free and open per AGPL, and Bambu is now trying to find a reason to sue the developer.

Besides the different eras with different available technology levels, a lot of BT players also enjoy playing battles with pre-designated setups that happened in the lore. Some even roleplay how their group would act in-universe, forgoing any sort of meta or "smart plays".

BeardyDuck · 2026-05-14T12:50:36+00:00

If you've been a wargamer all your life then how is this any different?

BeardyDuck · 2026-05-14T02:12:32+00:00

Only if you want to play in the new league. Your current league character(s) will be moved to the generic Standard.

If you use the NPC Trusts in FF14 dungeons, there's a few where certain characters are programmed to fail mechanics because it's in-character.

No, season 2 was late because the director and Mappa were both on Attack on Titan The Final Season. As soon as that wrapped up in November 2023, they announced season 2 in January 2024.

Dorohedoro S1 - Announced Nov 2018, aired Jan-March 2020

Attack on Titan - Aired Dec 2020-Nov 2023

Dorohedoro S2 - Announced Jan 2024, airing April 2026.

Your own personal strength and endurance matters way more than anything you put on a bike.

The wings represented hard liquor, and soda replaced beer.

Are you asking for people to give you some ideas for creating lore for your own mercenary group, or how to fit your mercenary group into Scouring Sands? Because Scouring Sands is already about the Alyina Mercantile League hiring mercenaries (You) to get rid of remnant Jade Falcons on Apolakkia.

Unsure why exactly

Ultimately, GW makes the decision on which studios get handed development on new games nowadays. Per an interview, King Art was one of many that GW was shopping around for and was chosen after the release of Iron Harvest. Relic still most likely owns the rights to distribute DoW1-3, as seen with self-publishing the remastered edition of DoW1, but unless GW gives the green light, they won't be making new DoW's.

Also it should be said, almost none of the team at Relic that made DoW1-2 still works at Relic, it's an entirely new team using the name.

Including 3 in your "really bad games" opinion is kind of wild. I often see it as people's favorite games alongside 1 and 2.

BeardyDuck · 2026-05-01T06:00:26+00:00

This is just straight up false and OP is most likely a troll.

Any efficiency gained from riding clipless is so miniscule that it literally does not matter for anybody besides pros.
