Happy Halloween everyone.

[Vol]

Aaaand it's official, my brother has Covid, and we're in isolation. Yeeeey...

Stay the fuck away, and good luck to you all. Hopefully he gets it very mild and recovers fast.

I can't believe the day has finally come. I've known and prepared for years that one day Sean Connery would die. It was one of those thoughts that I always had on my mind. I was six when I saw The Last Crusade in theaters and he was the first actor I recognized to be in other films. A truly beloved actor and man. I really like Sean Connery. I'm glad he made it to 90. What a great career what a great stand up guy. I'm going to put one of his films on today. Here's to you, Sir Thomas Sean Connery.

(I saw my first Indiana movie within the last year or so)

Quite honestly, we won't know how things will really shake until raiding begins and Blizzard tries to nerf and boost classes which are doing too well or too badly. Since DH's only got one damage spec and it's a popular, I'm pretty sure they'll boost them, if it gets too bad. So I'm not too fazed with the currently low numbers.

I really like the mobility of the class and getting into places others can't due to double jump. Also that your single target and AOE rotations are basically the same. As I get older, I appreciate simplicity more.

I pugged Uldir normals at launch, and it was a fucking clown show. Think it took me most of a week to get a group through Zul, then Mythrax after the reset. Didn't even try Ghuun until weeks later. DHs have the vital "elf player" factor, so I imagine they'll get bumped up. They're well designed, fun, and pretty, they won't be ignored.

Getting tested for Covid too today, as a safety measure, since my ashtma makes me above-average at risk, if I catch the damn virus. Wish me luck!

Yeah, best of luck from here as well.

Wish you luck.

[Sinekein]

Good luck to you Alien, stay safe anyway. Shit times we're living in.

For that reason and others I am experiencing insomnia repeatedly at the moment, so right now I am spending the time watching the two Lindsay Ellis videos about copyright infringements - the original, and its sequel when she herself got accused of it. Which means I discovered what the Omegaverse is, and now I feel like I need brain bleach. I was not ready for the details of such a genre.

[Vol]

@Alien: How'd it go, man? You clean?

@Sine: Ooh, is that the one where everyone is an alpha, beta, or omega, and all the mpreg?

[Sinekein]

Yes that's it, but if only it were that simple...

Plus I have made a two-months internship on wolf conservation back in the day, and my PhD was in carnivore conservation, so I almost feel personally violated by this whole stuff. I have absolutely nothing against fanfic or slashfic or even "noncon/dubcon" stories (why do I even know those words now...) - even if I do not read fanfiction in general - but to mix it with biology facts that happen to mostly be completely wrong...it's beyond me. I don't get the kink. Or more accurately, I don't get how this kink can be widespread enough to create an entire fictional universe of sorts.

[Alienmorph]

@Alien: How'd it go, man? You clean?

Will know in the next 24-48 hours. If I have it, I must asyptomatic, because I'm just feeling like I always do during this time of the year, aka a bit afflicted by allergies as the season change, and nothing else. Which frankly would be the best case scenario, because it means I've already caught the virus, but not in a dangerous form, and now I just have to wear off the storm.

[Mazder]

I hope for the best Alien!!!

In other news I got my mop cut off just in time, again.

[Alienmorph]

I've got the results of the test baaack... I definately NOT have Covid.

Now I just have to keep it like that for the next couple weeks, while my brother heals from the virus. Good thing I'm half a recluse anyway lol

well good news at least.

[Alienmorph]

well good news at least.

Heck yes it is. I was almost certainly going to pass the last couple months of 2020 in lockdown anyway, and I've already spoken with work, and know I'm not getting laid off. Plus I still di the lewd art thing from home for extra money, so really my biggest worry is the illness itself, and so far I've managed to dodge it.

[Mazder]

Good news, let's hope it stays that way!!!
The not getting Covid that is.
I hope your brother pulls through it okay too!

I imagine it's what became of the yaoi fangirls from the earlier internet. Always subscribed to the theory that it was a weird fusion of a desire for the male libido, but being scared of it too, so two hot guys going at each other, and a baby somehow, fit a comfortable niche. Meanwhile, for everyone else, it was some crazy shit.

That there are _enough_ of these people to make an entire universe of hierarchical, gay, supernatural, mpreg fanfics is almost impressive.

Excellent! Isolation pays off!

[magnuskn]

Wonderful! Stay healthy!

Best news today.

[Vol]

Whiskey I was drinking last night was "Hibiki." Pricier than my normal, but felt I should indulge. Rather nice. Subtle. Almost a sweetness to it. Not the smoothest I've had, but quite nice for the price.

The only frustration was that despite knocking quite a few back, I was hardly buzzed by the time I went to bed. Natural tolerance is a hell of a thing.

[TheodoricFriede]

Japanese whiskey is wonderful stuff, but eeeeeeexpensive.

https://www.ccpgames.com/news/2020/eve- ... e-day-with

"October 29, 2020 – Reykjavík, Iceland – CCP Games announced today that their players broke two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles in EVE Online, the community-driven massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, with an enormous battle resulting from the game’s ongoing inter-player war. More than 8,000 players duked it out for territorial control in what has been called “Fury at FWST-8”, a 14-hour long clash between two of EVE Online’s largest player-run coalitions.

The two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles now held by EVE Online are:

largest multiplayer video game PvP battle (8,825 players)
most concurrent participants in a multiplayer video game PvP battle (6,557 participants)

"A total of 8,825 players participated in Fury at FWST-8 with 11,258 characters from 114 different alliances in an engagement that lasted 14 hours, breaking the previous GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title of 7,548 players. The peak of Fury at FWST-8 saw 6,557 concurrent participants, breaking the previous GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title of 6,142 peak concurrent participants.

Both of these records were previously set by EVE Online during 2014’s “Bloodbath of B-R5RB” and in 2018’s “Siege of 9-4RP2” respectively.

“EVE Online is no stranger to massive in-game conflicts. Every time a big battle breaks out or our community comes together for a cause, it’s always a sight to behold,” said Hilmar V. Pétursson, CCP Games’ CEO. “CCP may have created EVE Online, but it’s our community who built the universe of New Eden. Their ingenuity created the impressive logistics networks, both in-game and in the real-world, to field such a high volume of ships in one battle. Our players deserve all the credit that made these record-breaking achievements possible. Their support and dedication are what makes EVE Online the game that it is today.”

Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief for GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS added, “The limitless potential of EVE Online provides once again an epic, record-smashing battle that's a test of both human and technological prowess. No game has the kind of passionate, invested, and empowered community that EVE Online enjoys, which is why it's still, nearly 20 years on, reigning supreme as the ultimate MMO space game. Congratulations to all those involved - even those off licking their wounds will agree it was a battle to be remembered for a very long time."

“We’ve been sitting on the edges of our seats this entire war. The player-run factions in our game often rival those of real-world governments, with some even adding US politicians into their ranks, so we knew it was only a matter of time before something big happened,” said Bergur Finnbogason, EVE Online’s Creative Director. “It still blows my mind that EVE’s players are able to break these records for massive player battles. Setting two world records for a single battle is humbling and just shows the amount of dedication EVE Online players have for our game.”

Since July of this year, a massive player-driven conflict between alliances has been unfolding in EVE Online. Dubbed “World War Bee 2”, upwards of 130,000 players have battled it out in a war for in-game territory and geopolitical dominance. World War Bee 2 is the third such universal war since the game’s release in 2003. Fury at FWST-8 is just one of many battles in the war as players continue the fight.

Fury at FWST-8 was the PAPI coalition's attempt to establish a beachhead Keepstar citadel in the region known as Delve, which would have enabled PAPI to strike deeper into the Imperium coalition’s territory with their forces of supercapital-class spaceships. To prevent this, the Imperium fought long and hard to destroy the Keepstar and push PAPI back. As a result, 6,746 ships and the Keepstar structure were destroyed, with 362 capital-class ships lost on the battlefield. Assets worth a total of 1.443 trillion ISK (in-game currency) were lost in this battle, equating to $18,712 USD, of which 705 billion ISK worth was destroyed completely, equating to $9,148 USD."

That's a new trick

[TheodoricFriede]

...Well then. The... uh...fan theory about Mileena having a long tongue is apparently correct.

[Alienmorph]

...Well then. The... uh...fan theory about Mileena having a long tongue is apparently correct.

R34 artists:


Also, if Mileena's the last DlC fighter ever for MK11... I'm fine with that. Would not have minded at least one playable cyber-ninja (I mean the klassik ones, I know Frost count as one too now) but I this second Kombat Pack is how we round out the roster, that's more than good enough for me.

[TheodoricFriede]

They have already found data for Kombat Pack 3. Its not over by a long shot.

[Alienmorph]

Heard that too, but there were also so many crazy rumors about KP2 that I'm extremely skeptic about any leak. Like, almost everyone predicted Mileena, but Rambo wasn't mined or leaked up until a month before release, and Rain seems to have been guessed a couple times out of luck.

I'll be more than happy if MK11 gets a second expansion or some further trickle-feeding of kombatants via a 3rd Kombat Pack. I'm just saying that as of now, even if that wasn't the case, I'd still be pretty happy with the overall package we've got.

Where's Kitana? She had to split!

[TheodoricFriede]

God that, what I assume is a, Tarkaten ensemble is abysmal.

Edit: Its not so much the outfit but the weird Millennial/Zoomer hair.

[Sinekein]

The Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon is more fun than I expected with Dynamax Raids.

Plus it features a very high shiny rate for both the mons you defeat and the legendary bosses. I already netted a shiny Mr Mime and (more importantly honestly) Doublade.

I like the outfit, but the hairdo really REALLY doesn't fit her.

The Mileena Khanum outfit makes me think of the Shredder for some reason, must be the helmet + purple combo

"Demon’s Souls remake details character creator and photo Mode.

To create your character as you see fit is to build an emotional connection to the world of Demon's Souls. You don’t play as a muscle-bound barbarian or a mighty god but an average person, vulnerable and familiar. Together you will face the same fears and overcome the same challenges. Watching your beloved character die is painful, but this spurs you to take revenge, reentering the battle. Each victory is ever sweeter because your creation lives on.
With this new character creator, you will be able to customize your appearance with up to 16 million permutations. We’ve added many more customization options than you’ll remember from the PlayStation 3 game, and also worked hard to ensure there is a satisfying variety possible for those who wish to tinker with every slider. Play as yourself, or who you want to be. Here are just a few of the many possible combinations.

The team is incredibly excited to see the amazing heroes (including the weird and wonderful) you will imagine. It’s important to remember: Demon's Souls is a deep, rich single-player action-RPG with seamlessly integrated synchronous and asynchronous multiplayer elements. Your custom character is someone you’ll be able to show off to other adventurers around the world, and we wanted the limits of that personal expression to go far beyond just what weapons or armor you’ve equipped. We hope having far more freedom to craft your avatar—combined with the vast improvement in detail and visual fidelity—will translate into memorable encounters, be they fleeting apparitions, cooperative allies, or competitive invaders. With the number of total synchronous online players in an instance increased to six, standing out will mean so much more.

Speaking of showing your character off, what better way to do so than with our newly added Photo Mode, which allows you to immortalize your triumphs and tragedies as well as celebrate and commiserate with your friends (and us!). As you might expect, Photo Mode contains all the features that you need to create memorable shots.
In Photo Mode, you can hide and show weapons and helmets, or even turn off the character entirely to capture that iconic scene. Or maybe you’d like to strike a pose or change expression for the ultimate selfie. Of course, you can change the camera settings, zoom in and out, add film grain, or blur out your friends (mean!).

By the way, all filters are also available outside of Photo Mode during ordinary gameplay, including one designed to tune brightness, contrast and color levels to closely resemble those of the original PS3 game, for those who may prefer that classic look.
Demon’s Souls remake will launch for PlayStation 5 on November 12, 2020 in the United States, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, and November 19, 2020 in the rest of the world."

Oh, and I shot expert on every weapon handed to me. All in all, a good week so far.

What weapons did that entail?

[Mobius_118]

Oh, and I shot expert on every weapon handed to me. All in all, a good week so far.

What weapons did that entail?

This time I qualified Expert on the M249 SAW and Expert on the Beretta M92FS.

30/30 with the pistol, 38/40 with the LMG. With that, I am now qualified expert on all Infantry weapons systems available. The range was dry though, so we...started some brush fires... Tracers are hot.
