Why would a Ghost Recon game need to be open world? If this is just The Division: Jungle Edition or a Far Cry reskin, I'll be disappointed. GRAW 2 was one of my favorites back in the day.

TRS is pretty by-the-facts.
Launched in December of 2012, we are a political and cultural blog with four major goals:
1. Reinvigorating dialogue among a disparate and edgy right-wing.
2. Severely rustling jimmies among the childish and regressive left-wing.
3. Putting cuckservatives in the cuck shed where they can watch us with their civilization.
4. Using the therapeutic power of LARPing to help tens of thousands of young men manage their autism. holy shit lmao

NPR tends to be decent. They're left-leaning, but throughout the election they seemed to give very fair coverage of both sides. I've also been reading a lot of City Journal lately, and though they're right-leaning, the articles are all very thorough and cite sources for claims. In general you ought to just avoid news that may qualify as "trending". Something designed to garner clicks or go viral is likely little more than grossly misrepresented information or outright lies/clickbait. This may be good for following day to day snippets of news, but building a reliably view of the world is impossible with such sources.

It looks like a very safe, fun Marvel movie. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
Still won't top Tobey Maguire.

tbh if you haven't played it already without good reason then you've already made up your mind
I'm not sure what that means. I haven't decided against it, I just never got around to playing it when it came out.

Just round one of my Xmas gift to myself
And UPS is telling me that I'll find most of my upper parts when I go home tonight.
What're you building?

It has tits and fucking--that's all gamers want these days, right?
That actually put it off for me, too. By the time I stopped playing I had encountered 5 women you could "romance".

I bought Witcher 2 on Steam a long time ago, played it for a day, and gave it up. I can't remember specifics, but it felt clunky overall. The alchemy/potion thing involved a lot of menu surfing, which I hated. Combat and story didn't seem very fun.
Witcher 3 is widely recognized as fantastic, and with the GotY out I figured I might give it a shot. Was I completely wrong about Witcher 2? Should I give 3 a shot?

 She gets me. Also got a sous vide oven but I assume nobody cares about that here. Have you guys given/gotten anything early yet? We're exchanging big stuff at home since we're flying home for the holiday.

Do people tend to hate the second half? Lost Izalith and Demon Ruins are my favorite in the game. It's really awe-inspiring to look up and think about the history of the place and what it means for the story. It gives me the same feeling as Ash Lake.
That's the general impression I've been getting lately, yeah. The top 2 things I hear are Blighttown and the second half. I won't let that hamper my expectations, but it seems to be a pretty common (if recent) sentiment.
Some of it seems rushed and incomplete, but I really hope you stop and admire the scenery when you're down there. I've always found the constant theme of decay in the game to be deeply unsettling. Ash Lake for example is the lowest known geography in all of the Souls games. The entirety of the explored world, particularly Lordran, is built on the (presumably) petrified canopy of the archtrees. Just slightly above it in the first layer are locations like Lost Izalith, the Demon Ruins, and Tomb of the Giants.

Speaking of Dks1 and the Lordvessel, were is Verb in it at this point? He was at OnS while I was still stuck on Capra.
At this point iv'e beaten Seath
Preparing to fight Seath. I entered his lair and got fucked in what I'm assuming was a scripted fight, and now I'm trying to escape wherever I ended up. I'll talk more about it in my thread whenever I decide to write another update.
I'm officially in the dreaded second half, so I'm eager to see what everyone hates about it so much.

It might interest you to see that this problem is actually just a statement of the mean speed theorum.

A lot of the opinions about level design in OP's video are in opposition to hbomberguy's, so here's another video to consider: But wow, that Sulyvahn fight. A lot of the bosses felt like they didn't sufficiently telegraph attacks, but I figured it was just more needing to git gud than an error with their chained attacks causing those animations to skip. Eventually I decided the best way to avoid combo attacks is to immediately dodge away from any attack that occurs after another movement. One explanation is that they decided that players didn't need to just learn the timing of attacks, but also the safe 'zones' that could be dodged into. In DkS1, you can dodge directly into an enemy and be safe. In DkS3, it definitely felt like you need to dodge more intelligently. In his Sulyvahn example (the first one, with the weird poke stab), he dodged an attack and rolled directly in front of Suly's other sword. Realistically, why wouldn't the boss just take advantage of that and stab the player? Another example is at 35:30 against Champion Gundyr; he dodges an attack, but is then hit by another attack that makes contact before his dodge is even complete. However, that attack is a really specific move; it is a followup, and is only done on his left side, and the animation flows naturally from the previous attack. Well instead of the player complaining about "frame munching" or whatever he called it, maybe this was an attempt from the devs to make the dodge less of such an easy, gimmicky trick that makes you immune to almost any attack. If he had dodged behind Gundyr instead, he probably would have been safe.

The parallel episode format isn't great, but the new characters are. I was hoping they would use the lack of weapons, food, and safety as a springboard to relive S1/S2 excitement, but they've solely focused on Negan (and JDM is fantastic, but is basically carrying the entire show).

I feel like I remember the characters because of the actors, not because of the characters. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton are all great, but their characters fit typical moulds, and Rachel McAdams might as well have been cut entirely.
I did like how it set itself apart from other Marvel movies' action. The eastern themes are reminiscent of one of my new favorite authors, David Mitchell.

Here's a simple math problem/complex thought experiment:
If you've learned and retained basic calculus, this will come easily. If not, try to think through it (incorrect answers are better than none).
There are two stations, and two trains. They will be traveling the same distance.
Train A is travelling through station 1 at the same time B is leaving. It does not accelerate, but cruises through at a constant speed to station 2.
( v = c, a=0)
Train B leaves station 1, accelerates uniformly (no jerk or friction to account for), and as it arrives at station 2 its velocity is exactly twice that of Train A.
(v_i = 0, a = ?, v_f =2c)
Who arrives at the station first?

It's also important to point out that mathematics really hasn't relied on a single source of discovery, and it's arguable that new discoveries and systems are inevitably discovered (for instance, we'd still have defined laws of motion if Isaac Newton had never been born). You can look at basically any mathematical invention and the controversy of its origin and see this.

The Uncharted series was amazing because of the gameplay paired with a deep story
>he thinks uncharted is deep
that's so cute
tbh though most video game plots are basically babby's first adventure story. It's a difficult story-telling medium because most devs feel the need to empower and satisfy the player constantly. TLOU is pretty good, but it also tries to get people to feel emotionally attached to a little girl who is literally invincible, and a PC who mows through a hundred guys/zombies in the course of an 8 hour game. It's kind of the same for Uncharted. Its story sucks but its characters are pretty fun and well-written, and the set pieces and action are, themselves, the story.

Doesn't Egypt identify itself more with the Middle East than Africa? I mean yeah, geographically speaking it's North Africa, but all it's history and relevancy has been with the Middle East....
Yeah, Egypt is part of the Middle East.

In an interview, Mr. Son said the money will be coming from a $100 billion investment fund that he began setting up earlier this year with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign-wealth fund and other potential partners.
...
When he acquired Sprint, Mr. Son’s initial plan was to merge the carrier with German-owned T-Mobile US Inc. to take on market leaders AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., but he abandoned the effort after regulators signaled they would reject the plan. Some investors and analysts have said he could make another attempt after Mr. Trump’s election and when a new chairman is appointed to the Federal Communications Commission.
Mr. Son planned to tell Mr. Trump about what happened with T-Mobile, and how he had wanted to invest in the U.S. but the regulatory climate was too harsh so he invested outside the U.S. instead, the person familiar with the matter said.
Sounds more like this plan was already in place, and the announcement was reserved to take place after meeting with Trump to give him some of the credit, in hope that Trump's administration would create a more favorable climate for his T-Mobile deal.

/vp/ is based and figured out the Magearna distribution QR code. Scan this with the QR scanner in SM and you can get Magearna!
Got a non-4chan pic? _________________________________________________ 3/4 E4 down, just have Kahili left. Dropped Parasect for a Rockruff to evolve into Lycanroc. So far so good with only 5 usable pokes. Pretty fun so far but I miss the over-the-top arenas from a couple games ago (X/Y maybe?).

what kind of message does this send to other companies looking to save some money? Make threats about leaving if you want lower taxes and fewer regulations and still be able to ship half the jobs overseas anyway? This is the reality of the economy in the country, though. They don't have to threaten anything; companies do this naturally. And I'm not sure why I need to restate this, but Carrier didn't actually gain from staying -- how could they, if this was a pittance to appear favorable to the government? Fifthly, Trump acted unilaterally. Trump had the opportunity to craft a long-term solution with Congress, but he blew them off.
Where is the evidence that Trump actually had any part in this? And why on Earth would Congress have any business strong-arming a company into staying in the country at a significant loss? Trump isn't even president yet, how is he supposed to be crafting a solution to anything right now?
