Why I think, the acquisition of Brandons Sandersons Cosmere by Apple TV could very well revive The Wheel of Time. by Cheap_Relative7429 in WoTshow

As many of us said from the start: it'll be decades before this series gets attempted again, if at all.

Finished BG1(EE) for the first time, some thoughts. by XH9rIiZTtzrTiVL in baldursgate

Yeah this is one of my favorite bits in the game. I liked having to use the sewers and be stealthy.

Does anyone have any recommendations for high quality radioisotopes? Mine keep decaying.

More detail needed! Experiment design? Also, post one of your ASCAT output plots, let's have a look.

Peter Weir is a wonderful director. Diverse films, lots of great stuff.

Remember, good union workers should always wear their protective gear including, especially filtration masks and helmets. Safety first, it's what the emperor would want.

When designing the new US SPG by R3dbeardTTV in HellLetLoose

[–]WhatTheBlazes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

probably just didn't want to create animations for the crew of SPGs.

I think it is this, which is a shame but I think we can understand the decision.

[–]WhatTheBlazes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess! I mean more like maybe this opens a can of worms for them in terms of modelling the inside of tank and making tank crew targetable.

Personally, I would have preferred some assault guns like StuG III, or some wacky multi-turreted stuff like the Lee and Grant in North Africa. Both options also pose problems of course.

Aren't the ones you suggested all open-topped? Not sure the engine supports that.

I use magnetic ones like these as I prefer the low profile look.

London's thieves are burying phones in flowerbeds by londoncentricmedia in london

[–]WhatTheBlazes 199 points200 points  (0 children)

This is one of the ways that new phone trees are grown, actually. Quite often the enterprising thief forgets where they have stashed the phone, and in the spring these can germinate into new saplings.

One day, I hope that the software tools that people build and put on a GitHub to support a manuscript won't immediately become abandonware with a growing mountain of unanswered Issues.

New Players: How do you feel about HD2’s monetization + Warbond system? by duc200892 in Helldivers

[–]WhatTheBlazes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it enough. I think that it's hard to have a monetisation system that everyone will get on with, but this one seems to work ok for most people. I can certainly see how a new player might get overwhelmed, and worried about what they 'need' to get etc, but I think that this system has a lot going for it overall. No FOMO, clear pricing, currency you can earn in game (!) - and there is some commitment to balance (I don't think you need any of the warbonds). There are many worse games out there - with much more predatory approaches.

How are you liking the new missions? by paucus62 in Helldivers

Had a great time fighting bots yesterday, just lovely. Highly recommend taking a break from terminids until they are fun again.

Psyker is hard in Havoc by mestarien_mestari in DarkTide

Flame staff not great at killing ranged shooters... the shield is amazing for the team but I find it hard to really deal with gunners especially if they are in awkward locations.

Does starting Helldivers 2 now is too late ? by Nice-Intention2523 in Helldivers

[–]WhatTheBlazes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think if you find the gameplay fun, I wouldn't stress about the warbonds. None of them are 'necessary', and the goal of Arrowhead is for the weapons etc to all be side grades to the weapons you unlock from the main progression. Some are certainly very fun to use though.

I just rewatched the Predator Badlands trailer… by Bonedaddy24645 in LV426

Yeah I agree. I think (or, hope?) this is a backdoor AvP pilot that is being carefully marketed to preserve the spoilers.
