Oh good to know, I'll keep an eye out for that! Or something like it at least!

I know it'll be worth the improvements, but I'm allowed to be disappointed all the same. I swear they had a November release, so a week or so ago when I tried to find the release date, I couldn't find it again, and instead just saw Winter 2023. I was bracing for a delay (still disappointed though).

It's the sense of loss, an item you enjoy that's survived all this time. I've been there, I'm sorry that happened, so we all learn, what's a better cleaning agent for CDs? I'd probably try the type of Windex with vinegar in it, but now I'm questioning that!

Oof, very sorry to hear that! What CD was it?

Well done comic, I'm sufficiently grossed out! I always hated those weird banana tentacles when I was a kid... and an adult!

I've been using Firefox for about a year now, and I've definitely seen that 5 second loading delay in Firefox. Every time, the page partially loads like it does in the video, then sits for 5 seconds, then populates all the video thumb nails. It was driving me knows, made me think my Firefox was screwed up, or internet routing issues between me and Youtube.

Those assholes, how malicious!

The worst part was, the C'tan which ended up being known as The Deceiver convinced them that they could make the Necrontyr immortal, fixing their cancer ridden short lives, and aid them in their war against the Old ones. This was accomplished by a process called bio-transference using the bio furnaces. As the Necrontyr either willingly or unwillingly lined up to burn up their bodes in the furnaces, the C'tan could be seen above the bio furnaces gorging on the souls of the Necrontyr burning.

Yeah, fuck those things.

You know it! God damn, a TV show based on that series would be so awesome! Come on Amazon, get cracking!

The Expeditionary Force series! I loved the series and listened to the whole thing on audible! The great thing is, R.C. Bray could still voice one of the key characters who makes the whole series fun and addicting!

The last hotel I was had a sweet feature of a black out pull down shade, the on the sides of the window frame were guide rails that the black out shade fit in to keep all the light out. I greatly appreciated that, and I've been in a lot of other hotels like yours (though not as severe!) so I feel for you.

That and deus ex machina named Jarlaxle, he's a god damn swiss army knife of plot resolution. Shit, in a live VR QA with R.A. Salvatore, he even said as much, that when he doesn't know how to resolve a plot he leans on Jarlaxle.

I really liked the first book, the 2nd book much less so, but it was still okay, but holy shit that 3rd book..... I think I got half way through and I gave up on it. I can't believe anyone thought it was a good idea to try to make a live action tv show based on these books. I can't imagine how they'll do the game parts even remotely well with out being intensely boring.

This feels less meme like and more advertisy. Plus who the shit hasn't heard of discord before?

I'm so happy someone tried out Ascension based on my post! I've been playing around in there for a few months now, nothing hard core, just trying different specs or build ideas. At first it does feel very overwhelming, but they've made changes to the talents to sometimes make them a bit more agnostic or if the talent says "Increases Pet Damage" it'll generally apply to any pet. That combined with the ability to search for any ability or talent based on keywords or phrases like "All Damage" to find talents to increase damage mitgation all combines to allow you to think up interesting specs and try building it your self.

The other thing I adore about this system is, in normal WoW, there has always been the meta, if you're a fire mage and you want to raid you better be specced this one certain way or your trash. Well in Ascension, the options are so god damn wide open that no you could very well come up with unique build that is better then anyone has made before. Also people can't see your spec in game, so there just isn't that rigid expectation of choosing the "right" spec.

Also check out prestiging , it's fun to loop back to level 1, level back up and earn rewards. Or prestige , and pick a Ironman challenge, where you get 1 life and need to accomplish a certain goal like, kill hogger before level 10 or you fail. I'm working on an Ironman Challenge called "King of the Jungle" where you get 1 life, and need to kill the final tiger boss in the Stranglethorn Vale big game hunt quest line before level 40!

Over all, it's just a very well thought out and daring approach. On top of Ascension's Area 52 server that I'm on (Free pick classless), there's also the Thrall server which is also classless, but instead if free pick you get a selection of 3 or 4 abilities when you level and you try to assemble your build using those cards. I have some friends that positively love the draft server, but it isn't my cup of tea.

Oh I know, I'm just saying I wish we didn't have 2 straight years of hype coming.

I hope this is one of those times were the company making the the game knows just how intensely popular their game is and don't advertise and hype it for 2 years prior to release. It'd be nice if they just launched their trailer, then have the game come out a month later.

In a video about pronunciation of words being different based on regional accents, no sound? Anyone have a link to a version with sound?

I remember being so excited going from 14.4 to 33.6! Don't even get me started on CD-ROM speeds!

It's a separate company, I don't understand how they don't get sued into oblivion, but they update the game all the time, it's feature rich and has so much to explore. The website is ascension.gg. They also have an alpha server which cost money to get access to with 21 brand new classes, none of the old classes, new ability, new talents.

I feel the same, I don't really trust gearbox, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Hopefully it was a case of Hopoo trusting gear box after their long partnership, and not a case of Hopoo looking to make cash with the sale of Risk of Rain.
