I think it’s a fantastic idea, I just don’t think they’ll like where it leads.

Well this is all just my opinion and probably mostly driven by nostalgia, but gw1 to me feels like the story is more about you/your character, and your friends(as opposed to the world). Sure gw2 has instanced content, but it feels more like a traditional MMO than gw1 does. There’s nothing particularly wrong with that, but literally all of the mission and quest content in og guild wars was instanced, so it feels more like a single player RPG that you could play with friends and less like an mmo unless you are in a town where you can party up and trade with other players. It really captured a feeling of being out in the wild by yourself and didn’t have the same feeling that I get playing every other MMO where you just feel like your going down a beaten path, even if you technically were going something that literally everyone else was doing. Some games like PoE do have a similar system but they do not do their storytelling or combat in quite the same way. There’s a bit more to it than that though, the art style, the combat mechanics, and the tone of the story all changed quite dramatically between the games. Gw1 has a less exaggerated, more grimy and down to earth artstyle compared to the more “paintbrush” artstyle of gw2 and gw2 also feels like the overall tone is more lighthearted and gw1 wasn’t afraid to just strait up off npcs that you grew to know well in order to advance the story and up the stakes.
Playing gw2 for the first time as a long time gw1 player was a strange experience, because it felt like Anet had abandoned many of the things that made guild wars unique and different compared to standard mmos, and it honestly felt like they took the stock mmo formula, applied a vaguely guild wars artstyle to it and removed healer classes.
To be clear I’m not saying gw2 is a bad game, just that it’s very different from og guild wars. I would not be surprised if gw3 is significantly different than gw2 and 1.

Eh, if they bring back some of what made the original GW feel special I might check it out, but if it’s just gw2 version 2 I’m not really all that interested.

For real though, I will move over to the other lane as soon as I safely can, some people don’t know how to wait for 5 fucking seconds.

The voltage(electrical equivalent of force) is what travels.
It’s analagous to pushing something away from you with a really really really long stick, then pulling it back again. The stick didn’t move much but you still affected something far away.

- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 5 months ago:
It’s still $45 to access the game if you don’t have it yet(and that counts as a pledge, and therefore part of the game’s funding), but yea as a player and a backer I essentially agree. You’re basically spending money to skip game progression after the final wipe before release(whenever that happens).
IMO it takes some of the enjoyment out of the game even in its current buggy alpha form. You can earn basically everything except for the most recently(ish) released ships(and some cosmetic items) entirely within the game.
You do get a game to play for $45 though. A game with a zillion bugs and issues but a game nonetheless. I personally feel like it was worth $45 for the entertainment value I’ve gotten out of it. Not worth the amount I spent(like a decade ago), but the first $45 feels worth it now.
That being said, don’t buy the game if you expect a polished experience.

Not always, the word skosh(meaning just a little bit or a tiny amount) comes from the Japanese word sukoshi(少し), but that can probably be attributed to the language not generally using romanized letters.
It’s a very interesting word to me since its one of the very few words that migrated from Japanese to English and isn’t a name of something. The way it came over is also rather interesting, as it was through collaboration between us and Japanese soldiers during the Korean war.

- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 7 months ago:
I would, because the second track potentially scales to infinity, and pulling the lever is the only sure way to minimize the death and suffering.
Also, if everyone avoids pulling the lever, you technically have an infinite amount of people who will die and an infinite amount of guilty consciences, also an infinite amount of people blaming the last guy for forcing the decision on them, like the most messed up version of the infinity hotel.

If you did this quickly with a warp drive or whatever, you would still need at least ten years to see the results, so you could only see as far back as when you put the mirror up at the most.

Probably a security update to try and keep it from being part of a botnet maybe? What would work better though is never connecting it to a network or even better, just don’t make it smart for no dam reason, lol.

I pay for mine with vouchers, just as convenient as a credit card as long as you renew ahead of time, and just as anonymous as cash.
Wish I could buy them somewhere other than amazon though.
