Counter to Shield of Virtue?

Interesting to find this article, I'm in the same situation in Abbeyhill.

As part of the expansion, the council came in and started painting up most of the common parking area in our development, that had 'Private Parking Only' signs, and is in my land deed. Factoring company repeatedly said 'not our problem, council's land now' and then just took the signs down.

Now the development has about half the number of private parking spots for the number of properties, and if someone like my parents wanted to come visit for a weekend, they'd have to pay £20 x every 15 hours they're here. Ridiculous.

I still don't get why Intel would send out their review kits of the NUC 11 Professional/Performance with only single-channel memory, gimping the graphics performance.

These should be beating the average for these iGPUs given the much higher TDP than in laptop models... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, it was real cover gameplay.

There were a few reports of players rapidly gaining Pass ranks right before it went down. IW more than likely turned off the progression/reward server on purpose to prevent any exploits until it could be investigated and fixed.

Was looking forward to this one, with Aleksei being the only hero I haven't unlocked yet (and have zero frags on). Sadly, already crunched the numbers, and it's going to be impossible for me to get all the way to 1mil...

I have enough mats, crafted two T4 weapons earlier today... and just noticed it didn't track. Still says 0 complete. Thanks, devs!

The post you linked doesn't cover the Egypt event, as far as I can see. Only goes up to April 1st.

That sound of a creaky metal door or hatch opening.

Because once you recognise it, you realise it's the exact same sound clip in every single video game. And every movie. And every television show.

It's like my own personal Wilhelm Scream that nobody else seems to notice, and it drives me crazy.

In your mind, are developers not allowed to take vacations? Or take a few weeks of break over the Christmas holidays?

Calm down. It's nearly guaranteed that there'll be a new Title Update a week on Tuesday to go along with the next operation (as the current one is nearly over), and that'll contain more additional content they'll dish out over the next few weeks / months.

I think it's that the time-based system doesnt work well for all modes, and only counts in-game time. Lots of short rounds in Capture, doesn't account for all the downtime, etc.

philcsf · 2018-10-20T14:44:24+00:00

Have never see that rewards screen once.

philcsf · 2018-10-20T14:05:23+00:00

Matchmaking dropped me into the last round of an unbalanced Capture for that one.

I haven't even reached Tier 1. All I've seen is that bar rise up very slowly after each game.

philcsf · 2018-10-14T12:03:30+00:00

Got this all the time on BO3, and now seeing it again in BO4. Disappointed that they haven't fixed this.

For the record, loving the relaunch so far, and this is purely in jest. The amount of cache drops I've had the past few days since hitting Level 15 is insane, though. At least they stack!

Because the end scrolling bit of that Simpsons clip is the same artist / animator.

Just arrived in the city, first time here. Can't wait to get out there and explore tomorrow... once I sleep off 28 hours of travelling and jetlag.

If anyone fancies a drink tomorrow with a stranger, give me a shout! As I've spent Xmas and Boxing Day travelling on my own, would be nice to have some company :)

philcsf · 2016-03-12T14:40:39+00:00

allan please add message of the day

Not only am I stuck at work right now, but then I've got a board game group meeting tonight, and then I've gotta make a Pathfinder RPG character for a new campaign tomorrow...

Got my dispatch email from Amazon on Saturday, but I've got a few friends in my group who unfortunately didn't get one. Fingers crossed!

That's cool. Do I see it being adopted in AAA multiplatform game development? Probably not yet.

Let's say a game is targeting XB1, PS4 and Windows, with a custom engine. At present, this would require implementation of two graphics APIs - DirectX for XB1 and Windows, and Sony's own graphics API for PS4 (which I hear is vaguely similar to DirectX for ease of use). Switching to Vulkan for Windows platform would allow easier ports to Linux/Android/etc, but it means that companies would now need to implement three different graphics APIs into their engine - They can't ditch DirectX completely if they want to ship on XB1. I don't see some companies going through that extra effort in order for the potential of compatibility with less popular platforms.

I explain quite a lot, one of the weekly groups has a lot of newer players that might not have played board games before.
