    Welp EA did it with Anthem

    So like, mostly console games, and mainly older games, which brings us back to: As for Total War [and not just] Warhammer series, look up the blood dlc, it's cosmetics that costs 2.5€. Also, how is paying a few dollars for a lord NOT a microtransaction?

    The ultimate mouse for SC?

    I'd buy one right away, but how do you change the DPI on the fly? I didn't see that on the video or marketing materials, so I'm a bit concerned.

    Welp EA did it with Anthem

    There are a bunch of AAA titles sold at $50+ that have microtransactions, Anthem is in no way a rarity. Call of duty series has some, Assassin creed series has some, WoW (in addition to paid subscription, $50+ expansions, etc.) Jurassic World Evolution Far Cry 5 GTA V Kingdom Come Deliverance...

    Welp EA did it with Anthem

    Wait. Anthem costs like $59. That's not "full price" on it's own. It might've been several years ago, but it's not today. You can't expect the production values of the games to go up and the price to go down (if you paid ²⁰¹⁷$50 for a product that cost ¹⁹⁹⁰$50 , that's 50% off). Honestly, all...

    Good Article on CIG's Financials

    With the width and depth of information CIG has published about their finances, that feels almost unprecedented for a major game development. At least, I can't think of any examples apart from possibly a few small indie titles. Quite happy they did so, I rather like knowing the whole situation.

    What should this US Government Employee do, during the shut down?

    Well, I was going to suggest wanking. Ejaculating at least 21 times a month reduces your risk of prostate cancer by roughly 20%. (But ejaculating 100 times a month doesn't reduce it by 100%)

    Re-arming Missiles during flight intended or bug?

    Also, Connie has the missiles "accessible" in the cargo bay, which makes me wonder if it would be possible for those to be reloaded manually mid-flight. If so, I can imagine someone having a cargobay full of missiles.

    Is there a list of ships TEST owns?

    Well, I think all of us want to support our org. It would be great to know that support has an actualized effect, so if we were to double our efforts, we could predict what the consequence would be.

    Highlander Fleet time

    I'd keep my Starfarer Gemini. Mainly because the only alternative is Avenger Titan. Small fleet and all that jazz.

    Naming their new lineup after that terrible rock band, a ballsy move.

    Theorycrafting a DDR3 build.

    Hmm, DDR3, well, I went out to see if any newer CPUs would actually support it, and well, if you can find a suitable motherboard, even the relatively new (2016) Kaby Lake processors support it. Anyways, as others suggest, sticking to older parts can lead to waste. However, unlike others, I...

    New 890 Jump images! IT HAS A POOL!

    Well... oh, sorry, I mean: "Pool..." Puns aside, it'd be cooler if it was a zero-G water containment field, a floating orb of water for unique bathing experience. A regular old pool just seems like a wasted opportunity.

    "It’s Easier to Leave the Solar System Than to Reach the Sun"

    For those too lazy to follow the links, here is a TL;DR: When you launch into space and plop out of earths gravity, you'll already have an incredible amount of kinetic energy tangential to the sun, which gravity will alter the direction of that kinetic energy. This'll lead you to have a stable...
