When people are paying for something expensive, they're interested in knowing what makes it so expensive. Movie tickets are expensive. Due to the non-centralized nature of streaming services (everyone has a streaming service now, they're all separate and they all have their own cost), streaming is expensive. We know what makes a shoe cost what it does, or a phone, or a cutting board. We know where they're manufactured, we know how they're made, we know what it cost to make them and we're free to determine whether they're worth paying for. We're even at the point of including ethical considerations in the value and cost of things. Was it made in a sweat shop where the workers only get $0.42/hr., or was it made by people being paid a fair wage, and which do I want to spend my money on? And there's the movie industry, keeping everything hidden while demanding ever-escalating fees to see their products. Hidden gender gaps in wages. Hidden hiring practices. Hidden assets. Hidden bonuses for executives who push films out the door, regardless of success or quality. Hidden expenses, hidden practices, hidden legal fees to cover inappropriate behavior on- and off-set. People want to know if what they're spending on a ticket or streaming service is justified. We know Hollywood is as corrupt as Washington DC, we're tired of it and we're asking questions. Considering that they've spent decades accusing the general public of being thieves, I doubt you'll find much support for the position of letting them keep their own shady practices and expenditures under wraps.

The concept is rooted in mythology (of course, because isn't everything?). In Homer's Odyssey, Aeolia is the floating island home of Aeolus, the "ruler of the winds". The concept was further embellished upon by Aristophanes, about 400 years later, in The Birds. Around the 9th century AD, Bishop Agobard of Lyon posited the existence of a floating island where sky pirates might live. In modern literary history, Gulliver's Travels picked up the literary device for use as the home of the Laputans. From the 20th century onward, it became a somewhat common trope in sci-fi. In video games, the original Final Fantasy is where most of us likely encountered it. It then appeared in a few 1990's games, such as Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies and The Granstream Saga. Japanese developers have exhibited a fondness for the concept and used it more frequently in their works, including several times in the Zelda and Final Fantasy series'. It appears to be most commonly portrayed in RPGs and side-scrollers, which makes sense because those are the types of games which best use the unique aspects of a floating island. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_cities_and_islands_in_fiction

It would have to be rotating binds, due to the character limit. targetcustomnext <name>$$ uses a minimum of 19 characters plus the object name, plus the 9 characters just to make the bind. Even confined to a single bind file, you'd be unlikely to squeeze in more than 8. Cut it down to 7 to make room for bindloadfile filename.txt. So if there were 100 object names, you'd have to use a 15 file rotating bind. If there were 500 object names, 72 bind files. Or @Healix could just bind a key to /interact, which is probably exactly what she wants.

Streisand Effect. Hollywood works so hard to conceal their real expenses and profits that they've drawn attention to them.

Yes. The only way anyone else could see it would be if you shared the mod. As long as the name of the texture file isn't changed, the game uses it. It doesn't even check file size or date of creation. You could extract a hat texture from the relevant file, overwrite it with your cocknose, save it with the same file name and drop it into the correct folder and it'd work. But, again, all mods are client-side only, so the only way anyone would see your mod would be if you uploaded the file for them to use. Numerous texture mods there, if you want to see how they're done. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/60-tools-utilities-amp-downloads/ <-- also might have some which haven't been uploaded to that tool's cache.

From the linked article: Not every game company uses patents to outright prevent others from using their systems. In January, Sega's head of Corporate Development HQ, Kikuo Masumoto, explained that Sega allows others to use their patented ideas if they're willing to apply for a license. The general manager of Konami's legal department, Shunsuke Murase, added that this offers a way for companies to recuperate investment. recuperate investment recuperate investment Who do I defenestrate, the person who wrote the article or the editor who allowed that to be published?

Plesiosauce is now in my lexicon. I wonder how many cryptozoologists I can bullshit into believing it's a relative of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Eh, probably all of them. Pseudo-scientists will believe anything.

That's where we get the phrase, "Everything in moderation" from. They gettin' jiggy up in the hizouse.

7) Your character heard Sally make a yo momma joke.

Yeah... Thanks for keeping me in check, @GM Crumpet, @GM_GooglyMoogly, @GM Impervium, @GM Kaiju, @GM Tock, @Jimmy and @Widower (they've all spanked me (some more than once)). I don't like it, but I understand it.

Oh, you silly goose, you don't have to flirt with me, I already think you're peachy keen. Not that way. Don't touch my butt.

You keep going around and around in this circle as though someone were standing behind you with a gun pointed at your head, forcing you to take the power, then forcing you to use the power at the most inopportune moments. Naw, dawg. You're doing it to yourself. Methods to deal with Devolution have been posted. Pick one and use it instead of pissing in the wind and passive-aggressively telling everyone off for not agreeing with you.

Someone who makes better builds than those shitty ones that have to juggle Hasten and Domination. Duh.

Homecoming has several dormant social media accounts. Mount Saint Helens was dormant, then it blew up. Conclusion: The Homecoming team is going to blow something up.

Every one of my dominators has perma-Domination and doesn't have Hasten. Most are over 200% global +Recharge, and those who aren't are very close to that number (195+) And, again, that's without Hasten. Hasten doesn't need to be changed because people make shitty builds, people need to stop making shitty builds that require juggling the auto. /thread

@Cipher, you really need to take that away from @Jimmy. And tell him to stay off of the damn counter. He's getting butt dust all over the coffee maker.

Any HP an NPC loses counts against XP. If an NPC falls off of a building, or is teleported to max range straight up and dropped, or stands in a red crystal on an Oranbegan map, or is attacked by another hostile NPC, whatever the reason, you can only receive XP for the percentage of damage you dealt to defeat it. Confuse is the only exception to that rule. In all other cases, if your character, your ally NPC, your pet or your teammate isn't the one dealing damage, XP is lost.

False equivalency. Secondary Mutation is the self-affecting version of Mystic Fortune, and the Devolution power was a thematic replacement for The Tower. Secondary Mutation doesn't have a "million dollar wedge" because Mystic Fortune doesn't have one. These two powers are balanced against one another, and Devolution is the alternative, thematic approach to The Tower's -HP and +Damage. What you're requesting is for Secondary Mutation to be redesigned outside of that balance paradigm. You want the thematic element replaced with crippling debuffs and clearly overpowered buffs, and in complete disregard for the ramifications of such a change. It's not even close to balanced, either against Mystic Fortune or in the game as a whole. It's a non-starter. They're not going to do it. And going back to the beginning... You complain about a 3% ToHit Debuff, refer to it as "nasty", as something you have to "power through", and then ask for a 50% ToHit Debuff? Really?

You can just say @Luminara.
