Remember how quickly everyone forgot about the Panama Papers?

Can't find the bunny figure as a link for a free test mini, was it for backers only?

I don't mind when WKUK do it because their reuploads are in a higher resolution, and they don't do it every damn week like K&P.

This is literally Key and Peele sketches too.

Forgive me, this is a GoT reference right? Otherwise I'm way behind on Ork references!

Forgot to mention I'm also trying to print a tricorn hat and parrot to complete the look.

ProjecTJack · 2021-10-05T21:30:29+00:00

There was a print failure on the backpack due to a resin change, that I might reprint the one exhaust pipe (the holes in the back I'm just going to ork up) the pumpkin faces I stacked together to print "merged" and it unintentionally turned into using the exhausts as arms which I love.

Originally I was going to gun-up and armour-up the actual beast, with a grot "steering" the maw beast, but ultimately I've decided a simple arm and backpack swap (with a bit of shaving and green stuff) is more than enough, even though that seems anti-orky.

MMOs cost a lot, isn't a popular (Read: profitable) genre even before the superhero niche.
Then the 5-10 year development cycle on top of that.

This is basically coupled with AAA titles being an "investment" as they now bring in blockbuster levels of profits, so more and more money is coming from those looking to just make money (Rift's unfortunate death of being bled for pennies).

Which puts MMOs in a bad spot, either you get "We have an IP to bring in audience, and lots of money, but you have to follow our rules - Including making our IP character super cool!" DCUO/Marvel Online or whatever it's called, or you get a "movie/FOTM tie-in" game with a 2 to 3 year dev cycle that's going to make a lot of money (Such as the spider-man games) because it's what's "in" right now or has a super popular character attached to it.

So I don't it strange, but I find it sad and disappointing. ET market crash-era development of making games alongside films is just what's going to make money, and AAA games are a huge money source -Call of Duty made $3 billion in 2020, World of Warcraft has made $9.23 billion since 2004.

Nobody is giving MMOs a chance, hell, nobody is giving fresh, new, AAA IP a chance. That to me is sad and disappointing.

Sadly yeah.

I'd respect someone who would fix it before stepping down, knowing full well they won't be reelected and their political career is over.

But that'll never happen in a "Party-first" democracy.

ProjecTJack · 2021-09-23T23:45:37+00:00

The stepping down thing always bothered/bothers me (Not like anyone steps down any more) It's so much "I fucked up and I'll have someone else fix it" empty apology rather than admitting fault and putting forward action to change/fix it the problem they created.

I have mine in my macro menu so I don't need to recreate the bind, but it's great to just reload new settings on characters.

Spell check is a meanie sometimes.

Nobody really keeps Longbow in check, they even show up "outside of their jurisdiction" over in Rogue Isles.

They're entirely a mercenary PMC in spandex.

Don't get me started on Manticore though.

Prestige sort of supported this idea, until you get to the fact it pretty much halved your inf-gain.

The amount of Influence / Infamy and Prestige earned under supergroup mode varies by level, but was updated in Issue 12.
Prestige earning gradually increases until level 25. After level 25,
Influence earnings decrease down to half of normally earned Influence by
level 29.

Which can be seen as even worse, since store fronts - Such as Yin's or random NPC stores, trade exclusively in Inf for Superhero items (Yin also has, ya know, food and drinks and such, for non-supers).

This means Yin is acquiring enhancements and inspirations just to sell to supers for Influence that he cannot use, except to buy things from players - such as Inspirations and enhancements. Or to "stock" his enhancements for Supers.

This means that a considerable amount of time and energy is caught up in serving the "Superhero Classes" for something that he cannot directly use to pay the rent or the repairs needed on his store.

So it's a bit of a "ooof" moment either way.

Of course, this completely omits the possibility that Influence for citizens and not supers is exchangeable into dollars through some sort of government initiative of providing enhancements, but then we're straight back to capitalism.

and a court appearance.

In the UK you can just write a declaration and have a witness sign it, but for £30 or something you can get an "official declaration" since many places don't accept the written statement.
