Pose for the fans!

This show had a lot of drops but the ones not worth dropping are pretty good overall. Still not sure if ZLS is worth continuing on.

What song are you listening to RIGHT now?
A 1970 Corvette replied to Confusedn't's topic in Entertainment Theater
I originally didn't really like much of this album other than Shifting Channels but it's a pretty neat one to listen to. -
It's okay cuz Rebellion isn't canon anyway.

PS2's problem is that it's too open and it's hard to teach players the ins and outs of it because there's way too many things you can be doing at any time. A lot of teaching a new player is saying, "So we're doing this, and to achieve this we can do this, or that, or this and that, etc." and the new player doesn't know what any of that means. Forget teaching them how to win; teaching them how to have fun is hard. It's like any sandbox game; the way you really figure out how to play it is dependent on yourself. I played mainly Engineer only for my first hundred hours or so of PS2, and didn't touch air vehicles for like 700 hours of play until I woke up and thought "I should really learn how to fly." The new player experience is still to this day a huge concern and one of the things the devs are trying to fix, but it's a long way out. But once you do figure it out it's a really open game and that's one of its best draws. Getting people to understand what's going on is the first step. Then after that, showing them what they can do is what will really get people to enjoy it. PS2 has a problem with both of those. It doesn't help that its launch was plagued with a bunch of things that were even worse for new players than it is now, like the insane splash damage of lolpods, HE, everything about the Liberator, etc.

It's technically good for the real PS2, because we're sniping anything that they do since the codebases are similar - people are theorizing that PS2's DX11 conversion may have been a joint effort between PS2's team and the people dev-ing PSA. But I still don't like it; the type of game it's trying to be is antithetical to what PlanetSide is. It's like if you modded Halo Reach and removed the high jumps, made Sprint the only armor ability, cranked the damage up on all weapons, removed respawns, removed melee and gave a knife slot instead and made it a bomb defusal gamemode only. And also added crates that had rare knives that russian mafiosos would use to launder money. One of the strengths of PS2 is that per server, all PS2 players can provide gameplay for one another because they're all on the same game instance. If PSA doesn't get really good numbers I wonder how common the "500 player battle royale" and "250v250 TDM" that they want really will be. I imagine that a lot of lobby merging will have to happen before a game gets going. One of the things PS2 players whined about a LOT was ping issues for people playing abroad (mainly Chinese players flooding the US West server with high-ping players); PS2 team fixed that by adding a new Asia server. If or when PSA starts getting low player count, it's going to be aggregating people from all across the world into their "large matches". The ping issues will be awful, and even worse than other games because of PS2's engine having lots of quirks that make ping issues worse. Maybe it'll be fine. PS2's shooting is pretty solid once you get used to the mechanics, and the maps should be nice and expansive. But it seems a little... wrong.

Joking aside, PS Arena is essentially PlanetSide Lite. It's going to have the shooting mechanics and physics of PS, but in a lobby shooter game. Currently slated to have big team deathmatch (devs saying 250 v 250?) and a Battle Royale mode with up to a thousand players. Maps are big, supposedly only one map on launch that is similar to PS2's Amerish map. Pretty much all art assets are from PS2 except for a few armor and weapons. It will feature vehicles but it seems like they're fixed-loadout vehicles without customization. So far the Flash, Vanguard, Sunderer have been shown as well as a hoverbike. No word on air vehicles. It's going to have a "season" set of development where they add new things like a CTF mode periodically. Buy the season pass! So if you liked PlanetSide but didn't like all the things that made it PlanetSide (somehow) then this is the game for you! Trying to not get angry.

Kind of unrelated but has anyone EVER heard someone say "It's time for a conversation" without the implied "(on why I'm right and you're wrong)?" -

It's been a trend that advertisers don't wanna put their stuff on sites that have porn, or really anything "unsavory" and that's why pretty much every popular site has been purging people and/or banning significant tracts of their users Pretty soon there's going to be a strict line between "advertiserland" and "pornland" and a few of the non-porn but also non-advertiser-friendly types of content will just be strongarmed off the internet entirely -

I've been trying wines whenever I can and I think some of them are interesting, but not really anything worth going out of your way for. But that's kind of my experience with all alcohol. I think I still like shots the most. Most of the drinks I've had are just spreading the grossness of a shot over a longer period. I'd rather just take it and be done. Maybe I've not had a good one yet? -

Not really a fan of thanksgiving food except for mashed potatoes and biscuits honestly. But the dinner is fun and I love the rest of the holiday so it can't be helped. -
