This, or throwing knives.

Or double health with remote mines.

Remember how you could all run out of ammo and the deathmatch would devolve into a slappy fight?

I haven’t played StarCraft since like 1999 but that actually makes sense. Huh.

Egad, I read about that but forgot. Now that you mention, I’m sure that’s how the idea popped in my head. How awful 😞 Now I almost feel bad for joking about it.

The dude from the Scorpions also studies wolves?? When he’s not rocking you like a hurricane?

No wait, that’s Rudolf Schenker.

The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?

I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.

I track prices with isthereanydeal.com and yeah pretty often a new historical low is set by a Steam key reseller like Fanatical. It’s usually only by a few bucks (like maybe $5 max, though still not a bad discount if the previous price was like $25).

Of course if I buy the game, I stop caring about its price so maybe the same sale happens directly on Steam sometime after. I’m not sure on that so ymmv.

I mean arguably all of physics is based on fields. And fields determine the trajectory of particles, which is more colloquially what we call a “force” acting upon those particles.

So in the most literal sense, practically everything we can describe in the universe is a ‘force field’. Not a satisfying answer, I know.

But you probably mean in the sci-fi sense of a thin geometrically constrained field that strongly affects particles within its limited boundaries but not those outside of it. That I’m less sure of. There are certainly the quantum mechanics 101 hypothetical problems where you assume a particle in a box with infinite energy barrier at the edges. But reality doesn’t play nice with infinity so whether such a thing can exist is much more murky. You can certainly have high (but not infinite!) energy there. But then you run into the whole issue of quantum tunneling which means a certain fraction still goes through. [AFAIK there’s no avoiding that.]

Wacka wacka doodoo yeah!

Ah fuck, I didn’t know I needed this.

It’s not a binary choice. And that also doesn’t explain why after like 2 dozen major updates and expansions, some core systems are still absolute garbage. Like learning an alien language literally one word at a time from one person at at a time. Or why running is still interrupted by tiny changes in floor height. Or why you can break down salt to get oxygen and dihydrogen.

Tencent owns Digital Extremes as of a few years ago, and last I knew its monetization wasn’t too bad. So maybe there’s a slim chance they’ll take a lesson from that?

I’m sure that’s a stretch though since DE built up their payment model many years prior and were bought when they were already successful with a large playerbase. A new franchise is likely a very different story.

Oh? Have they fixed some of the core features? Is running no longer clunky and terrible? Is learning an alien language not an obnoxious chore? Do space stations in different systems actually offer anything new or are they still identical? Can planets have more than 2 biomes now (one on land and one underwater)?

Otherwise, last I played it was not a very good game.

No, I stick to rEdRuM

And apparently absorbed the power of them all

TIL I identify as a towel

Buy one made before, I dunno, 2005?

Yeah for real, fuck SMS protocol for omitting basic quality of life features developed decades prior.
