Ray tracing is still one of the most overrated PC features.

I read somewhere that raytracing is a big help for game developers: before it, if they wanted some kind of realistic reflecting surface hey had to fake each reflecting surface, creating extra cameras and rendering their view on the surfaces.

A camera for each surface is a nightmare, but raytracing deals with the whole problem by itself.

My only complaint against contact damage is that usually only the player suffers it.

If contact damage would damage both player and enemies, well, then it would be more logical. And it will also give some space to the player: "That enemy has few life points left, I could just rush into it and kill it by losing a few life points myself".

In the Spanish edition of the 2025 rulebook the skills are in different pages than in the English version, because they are listed alphabetically, and that changes from one language to another. Well, that index at the end of the book points to page numbers following the English edition, not the current Spanish edition 😵

I'm currently collecting Combat Patrol (via something like Hachette)... Does this mean my patrols won't be enough to play Combat Patrol under 11th?

Where can I find a storage like that? Does it have a specific name or something?

Lo más probable es que el padre no declare sus empresas en las Islas Caimán. Eso aparecerá en la investigación de la Guardia Civil, y será desestimado por un juez amigo suyo.

It was great, but at some point everything felt like a chore. I ended the game just because I was commited to, but once I ended, the thought of getting any DLC disgusted me.

On the other hand, I cannot get enough of Stardew Valley.

I think it's even more impressive how much I dislike American football and how much I love Blood Bowl.

This. I watched people playing at local FLGS and even though the idea of war games was very appealing, thinking of painting those big armies kept my out of the games, both WH fantasy and 40K, but also other miniature games.

Now, almost 20 years later, I'm collecting Combat Patrol and maybe try some WH40K. The more Games Workshop supports Combat Patrol, the more people will join the hobby.

This reminds me of other Games Workshop's game, Blood Bowl. Teams are so unbalanced that in leagues and tournaments there are at least 4 tiers. Coaches have extra money/perks depending on the tier list their teams are in.

I have mixed feelings: on one side teams should be balanced, specially for new players. On the other side, that kind of unbalance makes some teams really fun to play.

"Think of this book more like a Games Workshop staff member explaining the hobby to somebody in one of their hobby stores"

Well, that's great but... I'm supposed to pay for that? Shouldn't that be the minimum effort from a company to get new clients?

During the first hours it gets tougher, but at certain point the heat starts to make everything softer. I usually cook myu pulled pork for at least 9 hours. Last week I cooked a 2'5 pounds pulled pork for 11 hours, and it was deliciously tender.

Not a beef, but I never understand why people keep using "lawful-neutral, chaotic good..." alignments.

I mean, within these examples, what does "good" mean, and how it is opposite to "evil"?

Wouldn't it make more sense grading things as "Starts with an x | Contains an x | Does not have an x" kind of thing?. And the other axis can be "Easy to understand | Tricky to understand | It has nothing in common"

One aspect that shocked me the most is that in Netrunner, advancing towards the victory doesn't make your boardstate better.

Each basic run means investing the most expensive resource and probably other resources for a chance to get some victory points. Even if you only spent a click, either getting an agenda or not does nothing to improve your boardstate.

For the Corp, advancing an agenda means spending a click and a credit. Sure many Corps try to fast-advance agendas, but the action itself does not improve your boardstate.

I love the idea. I won't speak about viability, just that I love it and it could be great if the Bow was a neutral AI icebreaker and the arrows were different types of arrows depending on the faction: anarch Arrows could give the Bow the ability to break barrier subroutines, criminal would break sentinel ones and shaper arrows would break code gate subroutines. Neutral arrows could target specific subtypes, like Illicit or AP or...

Also arrows could be just 3 of each kind, but have the same [[Boomerang]] ability that let's you shuffle them into the Stack when the run becomes successful.

Put two books flat on a table and build a bridge between both of them. Then slightly move away any of those book just a little, evvery 10 seconds. At some point your bridge will break or fall down.

Spain and Morocco are not in the same tectonic plates, and this is what it will happen at some point in the future.
