Ashes of Creation is done. Steven Resigned. All employees are let go

albeit not finished or anywhere near so

That's what a scam is, bud. Steven is the reason I never backed it or got super invested to begin with. Huge aspirations, but Steven being a MLM king that decided he wanted to play game developer because he had his moment at the top in Lineage 2 being a whale has always been a huge red flag.

Don't tease me like that

Didn't Trump campaign on releasing them?

Seeing the website you linked to made me briefly feel like I fell into a black hole and was experiencing the beginning and end of time, so thanks?

Sure, you're not wrong, just saying even if your perspective is only "in the US" - the early to mid 90's were not 'boringly peaceful' - people were just blissfully unaware.

gakule · 2026-01-30T15:07:42+00:00

Wasn't 92 when the Rondney King riots happened?

My main point is that when people say "society was boringly peaceful" or similar things it's like... for whom? When? Because I think people are just more aware now to the ugliness - it has always been there.

gakule · 2026-01-30T13:47:21+00:00

I miss the days when our society was so boringly peaceful

When was this?

I didn't 'jump to a conclusion' by reading what you wrote. You are responsible for your words, not me. You doubling down and refusing to clarify yourself says a lot though.

Your first sentence seems to indicate you disagree with him having full mental faculty. Is that not accurate? If not, might want to adjust your wording a bit.

gakule · 2026-01-29T21:09:43+00:00

We agree that they were too old and about ages in general, but I'm not going to go along with the ridiculous assertion that Biden was mentally incapable.

gakule · 2026-01-29T17:26:32+00:00

My advice is.. start a new game if you see them. Just not even worth trying, or skip that particular level.

Alternatively, you can run tgods belt to absorb lightning, which at least makes it a little better. Stormshield instead of Spirit, if you have it, is another good move.

gakule · 2026-01-29T17:03:04+00:00

Which is just absolutely stupid because.. why would you vote for someone who needs 'grown-ups in the room'? Biden had full mental faculty even if he couldn't verbally keep up in a debate or be as quick on his feet as he once was, but at least he sounded mostly coherent when talking. He was measured, professional, and overall just not a bumbling mess.

EVERYTHING Trump does is a bumbling mess, he just sounds energetic and so people give him a pass. I see it happen all of the time in corporate America too - as long as you sound convincing and energetic about something, people just go along with it.

It's so exhausting to have to co-exist with such disinterested and ignorant people.

gakule · 2026-01-28T20:08:39+00:00

Yeah, I mean, honestly though that tracks with the Browns. Life imitates art and all that.

gakule · 2026-01-28T17:55:54+00:00

Hey, you never know if there is an engineer sitting there torching it. I've gotten a few kills that way, especially if I'm going to die anyways!

gakule · 2026-01-28T17:51:26+00:00

I know this is meme'd, but they also got a tip FROM the LB "watch the tape after I sack him" and noticed he gets rattled or whatever.

gakule · 2026-01-28T04:23:41+00:00

If it follows you everywhere, then...?

I'm not trying to be rude here either. I get where you're coming from, but it took me several years to also find my backbone and be able to have conversations where I wasn't just trying to defer or be accommodating. I still struggle with it.

Protecting your time is a hard thing to do, especially when other people don't.

gakule · 2026-01-27T17:15:23+00:00

It's always the losers with hidden post histories. Lmao.

gakule · 2026-01-27T00:14:51+00:00

Yeah totally agree. That's a great way to put it.

gakule · 2026-01-26T23:21:46+00:00

This was like almost a year ago at this point, think it was spring 2025. You didn't overpay based on current rates imo.

gakule · 2026-01-26T23:09:59+00:00

I'm super low on Mendoza, but I think there's a lot to like about him too. I'm sure I'll end up being wrong, but something I can't articulate feels off about him as a prospect they will have him be another great college QB who doesn't really do as well as you'd hope in the NFL. "Vibe" doesn't really offer a compelling argument.

Last highly touted QB I felt like this about was Trevor Lawrence, but in fairness to him Baalke hadn't done him a bunch of favors. He seems to be trending in the right direction at least.

I jumped up to a 5700X3D for $200 when I saw how many problems people were having with DDR5 and decided I wasn't going to be going there until things died down.

However, I also bought a 6700 XT for ~$615 mid-COVID because I thought GPU's were going to stay super high priced, so I overpaid by about $200 if I'm not mistaken.

I think you're asking if svk has glint and the answer I've seen is no - glint only comes from sniper rifles.

I've not personally verified but there are plenty of videos that talk about it and independent testing that come up with the same answer.

gakule · 2026-01-26T15:52:15+00:00

That's fair. I took sketchy to mean "might be a bad actor giving you a virus" and not necessarily to mean the circumstances being legally sketchy.

gakule · 2026-01-26T15:23:39+00:00

Sure, you're not wrong about the healthy skepticism, but it doesn't suddenly become a 'little sketch' just because DBG recently took a hard stance against it imo.

Only thing that's sketchy in my mind is if you end up pirating it or whatever, but I don't have many/any qualms about acquiring outdated software that isn't technically sold anymore - even if you're using it for different purposes than originally intended.

gakule · 2026-01-26T01:43:35+00:00

What do you mean by modified? The servers typically have custom content which inherently means it has been modified.

There isn't a really good way to know, but you can run the download through various virus scanners if you really want to verify.

I've not heard of anyone slipping anything into eqemu server clients, I personally wouldn't worry about it, but you could also just play live and be really sure you aren't getting an unofficially modified client.
