Huh, good point (x3)
@  ▲ndrusi : (23 February 2021 - 11:46 AM)

Yeah. 1. People treat it like Twitter. 2. There's no "take it to P&R" since there's no P&R for the Shoutbox. 3. There's similarly no way to avoid either subjects or people in the Shoutbox since there's no division and it doesn't respect the ignore function, so people end up engaging when they normally wouldn't.
@  fourteenwings : (23 February 2021 - 10:56 AM)

Is there something about the Shoutbox that just means we get politics taking over the thing at least once a week?
@  wonko the sane? : (23 February 2021 - 08:26 AM)

At least your government is willing to talk about the collapsing medicare system. In quebec, their ignoring it in favour of talking about language again! Oh, and unconstitutionally denying access to eduction.
@  Shockwave 75 : (23 February 2021 - 07:52 AM)

At least here in my home province of Ontario we have a conservative gov't who doesn't want to cuz $$$$, but the argument is that they'll end up paying in medical care anyways for those sick people so why not?
@  Shockwave 75 : (23 February 2021 - 07:51 AM)

We have paid sick leave here in Canada too, but it's not very much and not everyone has it. So we're trying to get the gov't to extend it, and give it to everyone.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:23 AM)

The only reason people still go to work despite being sick is because they feel emotionally obliged to serve their employer.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM)

Some people abuse the system by somehow getting sick with a different plague every five weeks.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM)

Those six weeks are out of the employer's pocket by legal mandate. If you're still sick after those six weeks, the health insurance company takes over the payment.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:19 AM)

That's the good thing in Germany - we have legally mandated paid sick days. Six weeks (!) for a single cause (consecutive or recurring, as long as it's the same cause; reinfections long after the fact don't count), Everytime the employee gets sick with a new cause, another six weeks start.
@  tigerhawk : (22 February 2021 - 04:48 PM)

That's how my family got sick, my brothers a teacher, he has a class for expelled students, they gave full attendance these past few lockdowns out of sheer boredom, they can turn in sick and break isolation and he nor the other staff, who also got sick, couldn't do anything about it.
@  TM2-Megatron : (22 February 2021 - 03:03 PM)

Yeah, pretty sure the only reason people don't stay home when they're sick is that the vast majority of society lives paycheque to paycheque, and they can't afford even one missed day of work.
@  -LittleAutob... : (22 February 2021 - 11:27 AM)

That's unfortunate... I know masks can be annoying, but I think not being able to breath comfortably for a while is better than actually having the virus and not being able to breath at all. bUt Oh, pEoPLe dOn'T bELiVe ThE dAmN vIrUs Is rEaL
@  wonko the sane? : (22 February 2021 - 08:28 AM)

Hahahaha! Oh, you're serious. Yeah, no one is going to do that. Far too many are in positions where they simply cannot afford the time off, and most of the rest are the kind who won't wear the mask in a global pandemic, never mind when they alone have the sniffles.
@  Shockwave 75 : (22 February 2021 - 08:20 AM)

I just hope a take-away from this will be for people to stay home when they're sick, and if they have to go out, wear a mask so as not to spread their illness.
@  TM2-Megatron : (21 February 2021 - 08:25 PM)

I think it's mostly the masking that's kept the flu season down so much, and that's unlikely to be kept up for that long. I'm sure there'll be some people who keep wearing masks for years after this, but I suspect a larger number are anticipating people able to toss them once vaccinations are complete.
@  wonko the sane? : (21 February 2021 - 05:27 PM)

Same in canada. Doctors report it to be basically non-existant. I kinda hope they keep some stuff up after everyone is vaccinated. Like hand sanitizer at store entrances, and actually cleaning the shopping carts.
@  tigerhawk : (21 February 2021 - 05:17 PM)

On the plus side cold and flu cases are down 80% this winter thanks to lockdowns, or at least that's the case in the UK.

@  Sabrblade : (15 February 2021 - 12:04 PM)

Heh, that new Binaltech comic that Ichikawa wrote for one of the Japanese Generations books even had the other Dinobots make fun of Grimlock for his "Autobot Car" body.
@  wonko the sane? : (15 February 2021 - 12:03 PM)

They got that rescue bot grimlock that turns into a motorcycle. That's... pretty neat...
@  Otaku : (15 February 2021 - 11:35 AM)

Just to make Grimlock feel more "wrong", they even highlight how his character just seems ill-suited for a sports car alternate mode in his own backstory.  Hindsight is 20/20, so I now wish they'd made a T-rex that transformed into a sportscar.  Still probably would have been as much or more of a pain to transform, but at least it'd feel more like Grimlock. :D
@  Rycochet : (13 February 2021 - 04:39 PM)

Some Alternators were fine, then you have Grimlock/Wheeljack, with three transformers worth of fiddly and a giant buttflap.
@  Telly : (13 February 2021 - 01:49 AM)

thats the main reason i got rid of my alternators. too much of a pain to transform

What, you mean you don't wanna play your Mega Drive games on a crappy emulator with horrible wireless controllers ostensibly based on the six-button controller but they literally use infrared like a TV remote instead of Bluetooth or literally any other modern wireless control in the past ten years that ALSO only outputs via composite so you only get 480i on your TV and it has ONE audio jack so you only get mono audio instead of stereo?

The whole thing gives off a vibe like Sega didn't care because they stopped making consoles almost 20 years ago, but still want to cash in on nostalgia, so they dumped the project on the lowest bidder.

 

Like, I think it's safe to say that if the Yakuza games hadn't turned out to be a big hit, Sega would be dead.

I mean these things are made by AtGames who make tons of these different plug and play things for different companies, so on the one hand, it isn't like they're an unknown, they're basically THE plug and play retro console maker at this point.

 

Of hilarious note is they have a brand currently called Flashback Blast which are all retro collections of different sorts.

 

Literally every single one of them uses a white six-button Mega Drive controller.

 

Well, not the motherhuging PONG one, that uses wireless Atari 2600 paddle controllers.

 

And I will give them some credit, these ones are now HDMI dongles that just plug into your TV's HDMI port (and then to to a USB port for power) and the controllers are 2.4 GHz wireless instead of hugging infrared.

 

BUT one of these systems was a collection of Bandai Namco games and, when reviewers got theirs, they actually praised them because they had the actual arcade versions of these games. I mean, $20 - $30 for a small collection of games like Dig Dug, Galaga, Pac-Man, Xevious, etc. isn't that bad (especially if you only got it for $20, cuz there's only eight games, so that's like $2.50 per game)

 

And then when the system actually released to stores, it didn't have the arcade versions, it had the NES/Famicom ports instead.

 

hug AtGames.

Urgh, why is Railjack building such a grind?

 

I mean, I know why, Warframe is a free to play game and grind is how it works. Also having to restore the parts you've recovered actually makes sense lore-wise, but having to do it one piece at a time is kind of frustrating. At least they're fairly short, uncomplicated missions and it's only 6 hours to repair each part.  One could get a couple parts a day if they paced themselves right.

 

Still... while I don't mind the gameplay grind of Warframe (I get stuff by being a cyborg ninja? Yes please!) the wait time on this feels like padding. And this is after they cut back the requirements, from what I understand.

I'm just glad they lowered them from where they started originally. And I get that they want it to feel like a big investment and process but it's banking on the idea that there's a payoff there. X /

Something I've always wondered about the warframes themselves, how do they "work" in game? Like, are they all armor that's worn by the same human character even though they have relatively varied proportions, or are they robots that the human downloads their mind into like in The Matrix? Or is it something else? I just want to know the technical details.

It's kind of like that.

Only they're (mostly) techno-organic clones of dead soldiers and it's infinity years in the future and there's hyper advanced fantasy tech.
