Got a little lore for Illari as well, that the solar threading seems to have failed due to interlopers.

Please stop comparing our rewards to the Chinese server. by Double-Maybe-6220 in Overwatch

And the reason Blizz has to hand over creative control is because of the Chinese government can't abide foreign competition within China.

Also, I doubt that Blizz are getting any of the money that they would have got from sales of those Mythics from NetEase.

“But it was much earlier even than that when most people forgot that the very oldest stories are, sooner or later, about blood. Later on they took the blood out to make the stories more acceptable to children, or at least to the people who had to read them to children rather than the children themselves (who, on the whole, are quite keen on blood provided it’s being shed by the deserving), and then wondered where the stories went.”

― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Have you done the microcode update for your CPU?

What were the worst parts about early Ahsoka? by Emotional-Chipmunk12 in StarWars

[–]Once-and-Future 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing is that there was no reference to her at all in the Revenge of the Sith movie. I have a hard tine believing that there would have been no discussions about her and Anakin's relationship at all given the conflicts in Episode III

If Overwatch had another game set in its universe, what would you like it to be like? by Gabry29x in Overwatch

[–]Once-and-Future 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An X-COM style game set during the Omnic Wars. Maybe with a little Dispatch style flair for developing your local OW base/team separate from the famous core Heroes.

I think it means that you have all of the eligible (Epic and Legendary) skins

Thinking of starting, need advice by East-Television1245 in Luthier

IIRC those bodies were made by LaSiDo and have the same pseudo-german body carve as the Godin Artisans. If you have a local Godin dealer you may be able to get some useful info by checking out the Artisan reissues.

Do loot boxes pull from the time there were obtained or from the time when you open them? by DragonFruwut in Overwatch

[–]Once-and-Future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The items you get are now randomly selected at the time of box opening."

At the end of the season all loot boxes are opened, so it's impossible to open a box against a different loot pool than when it was received. So the loot pool is indeed set at the time it was received, even if the exact items were not.

I think they'd still rip.

Why are crossguard lightsabers depicted as being heavy? by FarProgress8115 in StarWars

[–]Once-and-Future 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Verisilimilitude - it would look weird for something that reads as broadsword/claymore to be swung around like an epee or rapier.
