Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you’ve mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

And timed, text heavy games on mobile generally.

Squinting at you, Hearthstone.

Its Orwellian double-speak. It implements restrictions on how people in Montana are allowed to use their personal property (computers) where no restrictions existed before.

Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.

There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.

5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.

For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20

In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter’s attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).

All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.

ICE was driving the truck. Creating this headline is the purpose.

OPEC (+ Russia & USA) hates this one weird trick.

makes you wonder if/how/by who its been used all these years

yeah, the timing is ‘interesting’

Weakness to Magic stacks exponentially with itself when it comes from 2 different spells.

For example, lets say you have 2 spells with Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds: Spell 1, and Spell 2.

Spell 1: target becomes 100% weak to magic
Spell 2: target becomes 2 * 100% = 200% weak to magic
recast Spell 1: target becomes 2 * 200% = 400% weak to magic
recast Spell 2: target becomes 2 * 400% = 800% weak to magic

And so on. After a few stacks of that debuff, and you can 1-hit-kill any foe with a spell that deals damage.

Weakness to Magic also works on the player character and it will amplify the effect of buffs. Stacking it before casting your buff spells lets you walk around with millions of health, stamina, and mana for short periods of time.

They’re still talking about doing it if they can’t raise enough money to make it through the next R&D cycle. The deals with Nvidia and USA’s federal government gets them about half way there.

oh my how the turntables

link is broken:

This move is being framed as a response to an annual stress test, however it also has the effect of reducing inflation without increasing interest rates, raising Federal taxes, or reducing government spending.

Bankers hate it because it reduces their profits, and in different political climates that has been enough to convince donation-dependent politicians to instead raise taxes or cut funding to necessary government programs that benefit the non-donor economic class.
