וגם אם זאת לא הוראה של ג'ין רודנברי. אז מה?

With the video call technology we have today, why are people still flying across the world for a half a day one-on-one meetings?
For long conventions, I get it, but the rest is just a waste of resources.

*סמליל עיריית פתח תקווה האגף למניעת טימומיזם* נפצים? דיר באלק! *תמונה של נפצים*

אם שמתם או שמתן לב
הפורים חזר לאחרונה ואיתן גם ההכנות לתחפושות של 2026
אבל כדי מאוד שזה לא יקרה גם הסוג חרא מסוג נפצים

נפצים זה דבר מעצבן, מעיק, מעפן, מחורבן, מציק (בלי הח' באמצע), ויותר מזה מטריד את שלוות התושבים (כאילו שאין לנו מספיק על מה להתלונן חוץ מחניות כמובן) […]

Now, slightly before sundown, every window is open and the room fan is on medium.

מעניין שאני רואה את הכתבה הזאת בערך שבוע לפני...

אני שומע את זה וחושב לעצמי: הא... קרן עבדה על זה. מתגעגעים.

How bad is it for the Trump administration?
A lawyer tells a judge she's trying to get what he asked for but getting nothing, she tried to resign but they found no replacement, and she suggests that judge finds her in contempt, throw her in jail for a day or two so she could actually get some rest.

Let's try it again with proper axis, ok? Ok.

I'll watch that.

It's so monotone I think even an overacting community theater wannabe will be better.

My causes? Just.

I just take pity on your fingers who must click so many blocks.

Please.

In Returnal and Diablo IV, bosses have a checkpoints in their health that trigger new mechanics and while in Returnal, the bosses might be lasting too long, in Diablo IV, if you come with a good build and a group, they last between 2-5 minutes, enough for you to run through your rotation 3-4 times and for the boss to show you all they have for 2-3 times. I think that's good. In Draw Steel, they plan for combat to take between 1.5 rounds on the fast side and 4 rounds on the slow side. This is enough for a boss to use most of their Malice features and 2 out of 3 if not all Villain Actions, each becoming more and more dangerous. This is exciting because you're trying to get them down as fast as you can and be smart about it but you pretty much know you'll see at least the 2nd strongest power they have if not the 1st. And it's even more exciting because you're usually there at your strongest of this adventure but at your weakest with your ability to heal and survive. So it's a total rush when you survive it, especially if your survived Villain Action 3 and/or the highest Malice ability. And all of this while continuously doing damage. You see the race between how fast you can get them down while still doing your best to dodge, avoid, and soak their strongest attacks. It's an exciting race instead of just hoping to get a hit every once in a while. Also, I think it's actually easier to balance because with "AC", it's a chance of whether you actually hit, and with d20 games, a big range of how much actual damage, while with these three games, you know the pretty narrow band of how much damage they do with each hit at each stage and you can plan for that: '1.5 rounds if they hit like a truck all the time' to '4 rounds if they roll like shit time after time'. In d20 games, if they roll like shit, they can spend 2-4 hours, most of it waiting, doing almost nothing.

A Boss should last as long as it takes to show most of why it's cool and not long enough to make it feel tedious.

Thinking about this, I think about the bosses of Returnal, Diablo IV, and Draw Steel. All of them don't have the classic "Armor Class".

but the first shot you only realise how little you actually did, that this is a big boss challenge, and you need everything you've learned to beat this.

It's also more fun that when you get them winded, they pull out a new behaviour, switch battle ground, or completely change form.

I actually hate it. It feels bad that you're trying your best, throwing your biggest hitters, and nothing is happening (Curse you Disintegrate in particular). It's much more fun when you can see that you're doing something (and when you understand the mechanics and how to do more damage)

JETRUNNER on Steam JETRUNNER is a parkour FPS, with cel shaded, comic like visuals, and a gameplay loop that can be best described as Trackmania meets Titanfall. Rich, expressive movement, and tight gunplay is what JETR...

Jetrunner just came out.

Epilogue scene also way too long but it's a nice touch to have the 50 years latter sequence.

Big explosion was very sub par.

Stuntmen jumping was just stupidly funny.
