Anyone else find it fascinating that Richard Garriott and Chris Roberts darted right into deep water and drowned without Robert Garriott holding the leash?
I like the modular design choice. If the networking is as robust as they claim, it could be a big advantage for them when compared to Unity, UE, ect. due to not having to rely on underwhelming native network support or a third party solution.

I played D&D, Superheroes Unlimited and Shadowrun when I was a kid - like a million years ago. I played with several groups until I lost interest around high school. Not sure if a single DM that I played with followed the rules stringently. I…
I've actually run into a few people who have had the same ambition and didn't have a lot of prior knowledge or seemingly the desire to learn. Once all of them started looking into the cost of freelancing a project together piecemeal, I'm sorry to s…
Good luck to them! Hope the launch goes great. It seems like a really large and deep game.
I'm not playing, but I'd like to see it defy my expectations and make a run of it.

I would love to see Microsoft be a big boy and offer Sony and the Playstation access to Gamepass.
I have no real insights, but if I had to wager, I would bet that MS is saying the right stuff for PR about being friends an…
Pretty unprecedented, but I'd have been more surprised if the walls hadn't been closing in on Activision/Blizz on all sides as of late.
This leaves way more questions to be answered than Vivendi did. You have King mobile apps in there, too - so Ca…
Not needing LoDs is huge if you're making your own graphics or use asset packs without them included. Not having to bake lighting every time you edit a scene is my favorite feature of UE5.
That said, nothing in UE5 is as game changing for hobbyi…

I'm still confused. Like, why do you want a smart contract on a ledger to track ownership of virtual items in a game vs just a centralized database?
Take, I dunno, Everquest or whatever. How to you…

There are already games that allow you to buy land and sell it to other players.
Weird, but NFTs aren't required.
Why would you need an NFT for something that has been happening in games for years now wi…
People get real excited at the thought of these things sometimes. I mostly think it's because they imagine themselves at the top. The overwhelming majority won't be. I find it weird when people create an online world with sharp economic hierarchi…
I saw a 970Evo Pro 2TB for $199 for black Friday at Best Buy, I think. It's a pretty decent discount($50ish) on what used to be one of the best m2 drives on the market.
A year ago, I thought it was a slam dunk for PS5. I'm not so sure now. I haven't played either, but I like the idea of the PS5 controller and I have more PS4 games than I know what to do with, so PS5 seemed like the obvious choice.
Now, Xbox has …
