One time one of my chefs did a tasting for some of the staff with a range of syrups from colored sugar syrup up to rich dark maple. The secret only he and I (the one who bought everything) knew was that they were all just different blends of the two extremes.
Most people tended toward around 30% maple since it tasted like real maple and didn’t have the bitter taste of more pure maple.
Many modern games have a separate physics frame rate to avoid that issue, but tend to always have the physics process a fixed amount of ‘time’ regardless of how long the frame takes so that the physics is more consistent. If that lags, the whole game will pretty much play in slow motion.
It’s sort of like the dual pronunciation of the word ‘a’ in English. While that has more distinct rules, it’s still mostly which one feels nicer.
Do you have an example that does first person melee combat well while rolling for accuracy?
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.
They didn’t make another because they were forced to make a game that was Wonder Woman and live service. How does that work? Clearly they didn’t know either since they spun their wheels for like seven years, lost all their old staff, and then got shut down.

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.
Scare us away? Some of us are on instances that make the connection more obvious.
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.
Same question for XIII. Why emulate it?
In case you haven’t seen it, Tom7 created a delightful exploration of using an LLM to manipulate word counts.
Don’t use a mist humidifier. They suck. Use an evaporative one and add bacteriostat to the water.
Mine is a tub of water with a wick in it. It has a fan that blows air across the wick. That’s it.
They are talking about themselves in the third dragson.
Jesus was born in the spring, not the winter. Christmas is an adaptation of northern winter festivities and they slapped a Christian justification on it.
Labeling it the beginning of winter is a cultural thing.
Excellent! I might check it out!
If I haven’t played in a year or so. Will there be any painful grind barriers to get to the 1999 content?
They are small cylinders, so without gloves lots of half prints will be left. Fingerprints are so similar that that is unlikely to be usable to find the loader without a ton of effort. It is very useful to tie a suspect to the weapon after they have been found through other means, however.
A smart criminal should always wear gloves when interacting with anything that may be collected as evidence.
Notch worked at King before, so MC is directly related to one of the companies on the list.
Now for the real question: is it actually IRC or just an in-game IRC-like interface?
The greatest hacking game of all time, Uplink, has an actual IRC client that you can buy and install on your in-game systems.
IRC pops up a lot in less obvious places too. The in-game chat in Warframe is IRC, but it handles all the server and channel connecting, locking you out of connecting to arbitrary servers.
