- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 6 days ago:
I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would not have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).
I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.

Any indication on what the armor perk is?
Also emp on stratagem call-in seems fun, but is a much lower priority than the usual (enhanced stims, pod optimization, anti-chip damage, and stamina recovery)

Daniel Radcliff famously did something like that when he was on broadway. Got 10 sets of the same shirt, hat, and jeans, left half at home and half at the theatre. Came and left wearing the same thing for year so the images coulden’t be dated. Paparazzi made no money off him and threw a fit over it, twas glorious.

My nerd herd likes the game, although we quickly have been adding mods to ramp up the difficulty and add some quality of life stuff. For a social game, I like it over Lethal Company because everyone gets to participate and there is no designated AFK role that watches the cameras or activates the teleporters.

I feel like Leeroy Jenkins is the millenials “Jeronimo”, I 100% shout it in its place and I can assure you some shouted it while jumping out of an airplane and their instuctor or officer had no clue what they were talking about, and that will always make me chuckle.

- Comment on Checkmate, Atheists! 2 months ago:
The historic context that makes Inferno so damn funny is that Dante wrote most of it while in exile from Florence and had a massive axe to grind with the people responsible for it. Glossing over the boring parts you can find on his wikipedia page, his family, and by extension Dante were supporters of a political party within the papal states (early 1300s) and they got ousted from their positions. While traveling around Italy, he penned “The Divine Comedy”, a story about himself bumming around the christian afterlife with the Roman poet Virgil.
Overly Sarcastic Productions has a good overview of the basic plot Link, and Im quite a fan of their work (this is one of their older videos). The part that this meme is calling attention to is that Dante wrote several recently deceased popes and many of his political rivals into his self-insert fan-fiction of hell (Inferno). In modern parlance, he was being a massive troll, but that work is also so influential that many practicing christans can’t tell the difference between the afterlife according to their own scripture (which there is very little actual description of) and its pop-culture interpritation by our Italian mad lad condeming people who screwed him over in life to enternal torment in his own renaissance live-journal.

Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky bow and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.

Oh, im well aware that their design was a problem and they corrected it in their current cars. Old streotypes are hard to overcome, but at this point its just friendly ribbing about peoples choice in vehicles, like all hiking trails have an orange Subaru at the trail head and Carolla drivers like vanilla ice cream.
We all can collectivly egg on Tesla drivers because <gestures broadly to everything>
- Comment on This is why we have a defense budget 2 months ago:
In terms of driver/car steotypes, I would prefer seeing this dork using their turn signals over any BMW or Tesla driver.

- Comment on How are you feeling? 2 months ago:
I get you. In light of recent events I ended up looking for answers in a philosophy text book and landed on Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his social contract.
There were two points to me that stuck out, the first was that Rousseau how systems of governance become increasingly difficult the larger the group (modern communication would probably make this easier) and that the public will must be inclusive of all, not exclusive.
Looking out at the US today, I feel like it utterly fails in this philosophy (even though founders like TJ were a fan of his work), and while lot of places also fail, but the US at this point in time feels completly anathema to the concept of empathy, ethics, and the public will. Unfortunatly, the solution that historically tended to go hand in hand with these enlightenment ideals also got a bit choppy with kings, fairly revolty and that is a hard pill to swallow.

From the trailer it looks like we got a new MC, or atleast the whole game is more french (because your in France).
Going to miss the wonderbread mouth-breathing american tourist in Italy like SE4 had.
As for game-play, they added Souls like invasions in SE5 and they still have the co-op campaign (which is the important part). Beyond that, looks about the same ol’ shooting nazis like we have always had.
- Comment on What are your favorite games for killing nazis? 4 months ago:
The new entry in the series drops today, my nerd herd plans on doing the co-op campaign this weekend. I played SE4 and had a blast mixing WWII with the stealth aspects of Assassins Creed (the old ones where Ubisoft wasn’t just phoning it in).

- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 5 months ago:
DRG is a fantastic place to start with moving from a controller to mouse/keyboard.
I would personally T-up some classics like portal and Half-life 2 for solo “history lessons” after that. Only then would I make some harder recomendations like long RPGs, MOBAs, 4X, and would shy away from MMOs unless you have an organized group to introduce them to.
