Do you have an example that does first person melee combat well while rolling for accuracy?
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 1 week ago:
The problem with combat in Morrowind is that it simultaneously measures player skill and character skill. Chance-to-hit works when the character does the aiming and gap-closing for you. When you have to handle that with poor depth perception and you have chance-to-hit on top of that, it’s always going to feel like garbage.
- Comment on Light switches should be glow in the dark 2 weeks ago:
You can get clear switches with an LED in them that is lit when the light switch is off. I swapped out the switches in my windowless kitchen. They look pretty industrial though.

A YouTuber hyped it up as Brother turning to the dark side so that he could profit off clicks.

Deep cut. Such a strange game.
I remember playing 3-person multiplayer with no router in that game. A friend had two Ethernet ports but couldn’t bridge them, so he’d host and the other two of us would join. Some stuff worked smoothly, but other stuff was super broken.

Please note that this is based on a Reddit post from three years ago. It’s a YouTuber that stokes drama for money doing what he does best.

Want a fun piece of trivia? Epic Pinball launched Digital Extremes, the developer behind Warframe.
- Comment on How is Arcane the series based upon League of Legends, a tower defense game? 1 month ago:
The game prints enough money that they could afford to have a writing staff and illustration team. I think the idea is that building character depth will make a subset of players more connected to them. This keeps them playing and also increases the odds of them buying a skin for the character.
It’s similar to the Meet The ______ videos from TF2 and the comics that built on them.

Google removed “Don’t be evil”
Still parading that lie around? It’s easily verified as false. Their code of conduct ends with:
And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!

Labeling it the beginning of winter is a cultural thing.

Notch worked at King before, so MC is directly related to one of the companies on the list.
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Review Thread 5 months ago:
Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren’t likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.
It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.

Gotta love the McD hate in this case.
The problem item is onions from a major processor. Burger King had a SKU recalled too, along with most of the processed onions from both Sysco and US Foods, which supply most restaurants. It goes way beyond McD.

Isn’t that just a normal North America plug? Most lawn equipment was set up to use standard extension cords so that cables didn’t have to be unique.
