  • Star Wars Galaxies was such an ambitious MMO at launch.

    Crazy in depth crafting system, especially with regards to pets. With how materials were randomly generated and cycled out it created a market that actually experienced booms and scarcity.

    Some of the servers went almost a year before all the materials required for certain weapons spawned. And the materials all had random stats that would affect the item you crafted.


  • No one is forced, pretty much every public uni near me had some way for locals to live at home and take classes.

    What a lot do prohibit is living off campus as a freshman with other students. Which I kinda get. I know quite a few who would have moved in with each other right out if high school if this was the case and it would have been disaster from an academic standpoint.







  • Or how many parents just kinda suck.

    Joined a random game of Helldivers recently. Two guys and a kid are playing, one is the dad. I’m the random on the team.

    Cool. Kinda wholesome at first. Kid is easily under 10 though and it’s the highest difficulty and you can tell that when things pick up they have no clue what’s going on.

    Totally cool. Part of what makes the game great is a little co op goes a long way and dying isn’t really serious. And they got that, there was light hearted team killing, everyone seems focused on the most important aspect of the game: having fun.

    But when the dad died and gets stuck spectating his kid, he keeps calling him a retard when he’s not understanding some gameplay mechanic.
