Thanks for this thoughtful and nuanced opinion.

That’s more impressive than I expected, I assume tools like that are actually used extensively in the games industry.

Yeah I guess there’s the code assistants, that’s probably the main one.

I’m curious as to what it’s being used for. Is it just concept art and writing? Is there anything that’s actually good enough to use in the 3D space?

Cursed beyond belief.

This isn’t true, people claimed that her husband (also a breakdancer) was part of the selectrion commitee but that is false.

The Australian women’s breakdancing contestant performed an absolutely inexplicable routine with no breakdancing in it and just a bunch of random body movements and extreme weirdness. Her official explanation is that she knew she couldn’t compete with the younger, more athletic contestants (she’s like 40) so she decided to compete with creativity, but I’m sure there’s something else going on. My theory is that she had something like a panic attack and was basically out of her head and got all these weird ideas and had a freak out.

He’s riding that curve like one of those surfing dogs.

Have degrees of success that require multiple escalating rolls. You can describe it as penetrating layers of security. Layer one has a relatively easy difficulty but only gets you basic info. It lets the player feel like their skill is useful but lets you tune how much you want to give them. You can even let them make additional attempts to break through each layer but this takes time, e.g. each attempt is a week of game time. You can also have legwork decrease difficulties to give the rest of the party something to do, e.g. talking to/threatening/kidnapping employees for passwords.

I also highly encourage what other comments have said about physical access. Physically breaking into the relevant building and accessing the system from there bypasses some of the layers, and specific physical targets bypass even more, e.g. plugging into the executive’s computer on the top floor gets you straight to the deepest layer.

What’s with atlatls trending atm, is there some spear throwing shit going on on TikTok or something?

Named after Rizzo the rat?

Is this really all you took away from this article? The point of the article isn’t at all “Warhammer is fascist”, it’s a nuanced look at how the presentation and consumption of the product has evolved over time.

Did you read the article? It explicitly discusses this point and how the presentation of it has changed over time.

Did you read the whole article? It is essentially saying what you are saying.

And if we’ve learned anything from the past four decades, cheaper loans have only helped drive prices higher.

… which will make it marginally cheaper to borrow and hence temporarily improve affordability. Unfortunately, that could be enough to lure in more buyers, which will push prices higher

Given we’re not building anywhere near enough dwellings to house our rapidly expanding population, real estate is likely to continue rising. Add to that the tax incentives that favour investors, and any interest rate cuts are likely to only deliver a temporary respite to those looking for a first home.

But that rising wealth is likely to be concentrated in ever-fewer hands in the future.

This is obviously not real.

You mean my clan wing riding on the Bomber to drop onto the far flag on Bocage was historically accurate?!

Not sure if it got nerfed, I haven’t played in a while. The throwing hammer didn’t have great range but usually enough to throw it from outside of an enemy’s aggro range. And the best thing about it was that with a fully charged throw it would knock down a lot of enemies, it was amazing to initiate combat with a knockdown from range and then run in and smash them.

I ran dual greathammers with this and the smith’s hammer that you can throw. One of the most fun builds I’ve ever played, insane damage and surprisingly fast for such a heavy build.

Octopodes.

Maybe I should start one, I’ll call it Things I Learned From 35 Years of Nihilistic Hedonism.
