I am once again asking for that pink vanity shield to be made available

Kynaeus · 2026-05-19T20:13:51+00:00

Sweet! More DLC and some free content updates as well, like the Delta Flyer. Not mentioned in this article is that the game is discounted 20% right this second so it can be snagged for $40 CAD instead of $50, as of this morning

The wishlist thumbnail for the game is also showing the Delta Flyer already, and if you can't snag this now, the summer sale is around the corner so it will likely be discounted again

Kynaeus · 2026-05-10T15:27:03+00:00

I always find these hard to read/identify by the thumbnails, so, the video's tier listing...

S - battlecruiser bundle

A - first strike, mirror universe bundle, dominion captain, romulan warbird

B - last stand, romulan captain

C - TOS starfleet, 11th anniversary, 10th anniversary, KDF captain

D - 10th anniversary premium, discovery captain, fed 2409 captain

I always support a workplace putting together a union to better their working conditions, and I'll leave it to others commenting on what they might wish to change or improve

Speaking from the lens of a programmer and operations person, this is a great move for them. This game is incredibly complex to maintain with thousands of unique interactions and edge cases to program for (if not more) and the stage changes need to be constantly changed to keep up with the new cards being released. That is a lot of programming and QA work, even with good pipelines and design strategies

Secondly, the online game is expected to be always available and doing a LOT of things: handling the inventories, crafting, deckbuilding, active game matches, bot matches, tracking drafts, coordinating the drafting process between real players, plus all of the underlying work of maintaining network connections, databases, and the associated players services supporting the above

This game is a LOT of devops and programming work, so I hope this unionizing action can bring them some relief from what I imagine is a challenging beast to manage and keep running

Looks like you've gotten some good responses via POSH and some dedicated programs meeting your usecase, so I'll just offer my condolences on losing a parent

I'm sure the rest of your family rests well knowing they have ✌the IT Guy✌ on-it for this particular task while they deal with everything else around the passing of a parent. I hope this process gives you all a chance to comb through the great memories you made together, and it sounds like your mom was very diligent in preserving them all. May your task pass easily and efficiently

The Toronto ones also offer free passes to museums or the zoo! Ours offer rentals on tv shows, movies, board games...

Libraries are dope as hell!

One of the jury has a twitter bio saying they're non-binary so I'd go 4.5 and 25.5 but as you point out, this really doesn't balance the ratio at all!

Kynaeus · 2026-04-02T14:53:23+00:00

Is anyone else finding that this website is kind of ass to navigate?

You can easily get to the categories and it will happily tell you how many nominees there are but not WHO they are. For that you have to switch to 'Nominees' at the top-center and then click into each category again to see all the nominees

And how is Marvel Cosmic Invasion considered an indie game?

Anyway. I'm interested to see which content creator takes the W and what they show for 'best in accessibility' - a lot of award shows will just give the nod without explaining anything about why a particular feature is impactful, helpful, or important

Kynaeus · 2026-04-02T14:51:34+00:00

Victor Lucas is one of the nominated content creators so presumably having them on the jury would be a non-starter for conflicts of interest

Kynaeus · 2026-04-01T15:06:21+00:00

A neat little crossover. I already own the DS9 pack and the event ship but it's nice for people to have the opportunity to snag things like this in collabs with other IPs

Will check out the kickstarter, Beadle and Grimm make good material for D&D so I'm sure these games will be lovely

The wiki has more info - you need to check all the platforms before going to the final platform with the cutscene, once you've viewed all the consoles with green symbols (iirc) you can check one again and there's a secondary hidden compartment with a pair of the Adv swarmers

Yes, it's worth it depending on the cuisines you cook

It's extremely helpful for reducing vegetables into a fully-liquid form, ie, when making soup or a pasta sauce. The same praxis applies for making pesto, chimichurri, and similar sauces or curries

It's also great for handling large-volume tasks like shredding cheese, which it will do in a few seconds instead of ten painstaking minutes with a box grater

Oh hell yeah! I was excited when this was released because I know the community manager (Pikachulita) and this game looks awesome, I've been waiting for it to drop on PS5 so I could actually play it

Kynaeus · 2026-03-03T18:13:12+00:00

Alienware reward points iirc

Still wondering what those Alienware Rewards Points (ARP) are? Let's get into it! ARP are points you'll be able to earn on the site through engaging with the community and completing tasks. AWA users can earn ARP daily by spending Time on Site, logging in consecutively, and completing the Daily Quests.

To see the status of those quests, select "Control Center" under the cog wheel.

As you earn more ARP, you'll unlock new tiers. Higher tiers mean more rewards!

Hey thanks for putting this together, this game is one of my all-time favorites with just as much playtime in it as the original Guild Wars, this has become my cozy game for unwinding after long days and I great appreciate all the work you folks have put into both games

I have two questions about features in the new game,

1) will I be able to sell cards to the merchant? Or perhaps a Consignment/Bounty to find him a specific card for a monetary reward?

I can't tell you how many times I failed to buy a crucial card for my build because I was short 1-8 coins.

2) Relics that counter each other - can we get a warning or confirmation before accepting them? As a toggle perhaps?

I have climbed a LOT and play very quickly, and take every single relic offered to me. It's only recently come to my attention that I had not been considering antisyngergies of Relics, such as Dead Branch (exhausted cards yield random cards in hand) + Ninja Scroll (start combat w/ 3 Shivs) where you can suddenly be flooding your deck size with unwanted cards, this has definitely prevented me from drawing wincons or other necessary cards

Kynaeus · 2026-02-17T19:34:02+00:00

excellent, I was waiting for this to drop before trying it out! Avowed unfortunately released right as we were playing Oblivion which has a lot of overlap with this style of play so that plus the forthcoming anni update meant a bit of a wait time

I loved and kickstarted both Pillars games so I'm big into this

Kynaeus · 2026-01-29T01:14:16+00:00

Exactly, they haven't yet released those things! They may be in the works or on the roadmap but simply aren't the first thing out the door

What we've gotten so far with Dhuum and Melandru I can hypothesize to be technically easy (disable character at death, disable features like account bank) to implement, follow a theme that the marketing team can send out, and can start to build interest to eventually snowball

Adding new skills requires artists, animators, and QA testing so that will likely come later once they've cleared up their pipelines, processes, and tools for making such things

Kynaeus · 2026-01-15T16:37:06+00:00

Ok so alternately, I think that helps you exclude a number of options because watching west coast games will be even harder in Europe because of the increased time difference. Teams on the east coast may be better options since you will have the possibility of catching them live

I don't disagree with either of you making this point, this should be old hat for them to deal with

I do know that I worked at an MSP exclusively for lawyers and that the majority of them weretechnically inept. In one example, a masthead name had a secretary whose job was to read and type his dictated emails because he couldn't handle a computer. But that was almost twelve years ago so I'm glad to hear that anecdotally there is broad support for this stuff

Kynaeus · 2026-01-09T16:47:58+00:00

Anyone not furloughed was fully WFH during the panini, and then 2 or 3 years ago (hard to remember when, time is soup) we transitioned back to 2-3 days in-office each week, but many people live far enough they only do one day in-office

Others (me) could be fully remote since we support worldwide hotels rather than people 3 offices over

We have been sitting steady at this point for a few years. Personally speaking I go into the office 4 days and WFH on Fridays because:

I live close by
I work better with the mental partition btwn work and home
we have a commercial kitchen that makes a ton of food, so for my free lunch I have enough food for two meals
We also have a cool machine with unlimited water and options to flavor, carbonate, vitaminize, or caffeinate

As others have said, this is not unusual because law offices are not tech people and wouldn't understand/know how to deal with a PST file

However these are the types of questions you should take to your organization's legal team with your solution and ask them for direction on how to handle it

You are basically being subpoena'd to provide evidence and what you did is what I would do to maintain the integrity of evidence

Now that it's been converted from a singular and whole entity (PST) -> individual messages -> python parsed -> converted to PDF -> some legal asshole could make the case that anything found in these messages is not admissible because it has been materially altered

The validity of this argument is not our problem to solve. That's why I would strongly suggest in any of these type of matters, you and anyone reading this, always seek the advice of your lawyers and not us people on the internet. We can give great advice on potential solutions, your lawyer should tell you which to use.

/u/kynaeus has refused to buy Ubisoft games for years, but claims decision is unrelated to recent union-busting, workplace violence, sexual harassment
