I mean, my understanding is that they fired half of their story continuity team, resulting in a published (physical) lore book that makes no sense.

So now I don't think they are even trying

Druids currently have 7 trees. (And a treeent form)

1 class tree, 4 spec trees and 2 (or is it 3 for druids?) hero trees. Only 3 can be used at any one time though (to be clear as you don't currently play)

The more possible combinations, the harder it can be to balance though

They can't write good stories any more, don't expect good main story, just good side quests.

It still feels like this expansion was too early (as usual) and many classes could have done with more time in the oven (druids and rogues)

On the talents - they realised that they can't just keep giving us stuff, so they have switched to having some kind of 'borrowed power' that gets taken away after the expansion - I think the hero talents are another example of this? Some are shit though and I imagine it's going to be balance hell (rip boomkins too lol), as they never seem to learn with this stuff.

It's the endgame group content that actually sells wow for many people (me), so as long as that works and it's ok balance wise (or alts can be leveled easily) then it's probably ok for quite a few people though.

Disclaimer: have not got early access, have bought the expansion, but left it really late to decide.

Unless they get an exclusion, all the risk is on the driver's of the support cars. It would probably be fine, but if there is an automatic speed camera somewhere there would be problems.

The lower speed limit is new and it looks like there isn't a law yet to allow this:

Richard Hopkins, the race organiser, said: "A Welsh government scheme designed to enable cycle races to manage race and public safety through 20mph zones has failed, leaving us with a major problem

I didn't hear about that, what happened?

Tried to answer, but it got very convoluted, here it is anyway as I typed it out...

Because that's a less useful metric basically, to change their budget a government can:

• increase existing taxes
• add completely new taxes
• print money (depending on the level of government)

This means that a budget can swing quite a bit in value quite quickly if needed (or if something goes wrong). This means the % could swing quite widely.

GDP on the other hand is effectively the value of the economy, so moves slower and is a better metric to compare different countries with different economies and tax systems (assuming they tell the truth about their GDP...)

Ultimately, if a government needs more money, most of the time it can get it... But whatever they do will have side effects. But those side effects depend on the size of the economy, the bigger the economy (measured by GDP) the more can be done/taken without causing a large effect.

Both of these fail to highlight countries that already have a high tax load though, so in practice a wide range of metrics will be used.

I think he has a budget problem mostly. He has executed some games acceptably, but mostly when the teams were smaller and cheaper. He is an ideas guy you want to pair with an experienced implementer and a pile of money..... And maybe a PR team 😆

TIL about unbundled RECs. More questions to ask my companies sustainability team 😈

Is it censorship, or stopping (actual) fake news and lies because Musk fired Twitters moderation team?

(I don't actually know)

I really want to see her dual wield at some point and everyone go "wait, what?"

Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don't convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?

Give them a different psychoactive drug I guess... Not really a true placebo though.

I think so, not sure about the palace, everything there indicates it was perched on the top - should still have had a rock as a wind break though?

I don't think they are crazy high in the rest of the city though, just enough to break the worst of the wind?

I suspect the adventures that come with it will have a degree of spoilery-ness, but its definitely an extremely interesting set of world settings (particularly Stormlight/Roshar) if you wanted to use it in a campaign using a different system.

I would obviously recommend reading the books, the first couple of Stormlight books are awesome if your fine with a slow start. Unfortunately I think the second Mistborn book is considered the weakest of the series, still good though!

Imagine.... A party of Gaspode, the Librarian, Nobby Nobbs and the Luggage.

There are add-ons that let you play as a decent DPS with an Xbox controller on PC. It's not beyond possibility.

I find the ones on roundabouts near me insulting, instead of being on the road and having right of way, you now have to sprint across two lanes of traffic without any right of way. - more dangerous!

Most of the rest are just wide pavements. Technically segregated, but you have to give way on every side road (when your not manoeuvrering around entire families) - technically safer, but not nice to use.

The rest are just short and spit you back out onto the road without and protection or markings.

London has some good ones though.

It may be that other companies can compete using ARM/RISC architectures. The only reason the current duopoly exists is the cross licensing between x64 and x86, now that apple has proved ARM can be competitive we will see what happens there!

Most bike lanes are worse than riding on a road unfortunately. Especially for confidant cyclists.

I equally hate those that break/bend the rules of the road, whether on bikes or in vehicles.
