How much time do they have to comply? I’m wondering if everyone will be scrambling to boost the odds before publishing them so they don’t look bad.

Let us know how it is. So far it looks like Destiny with pirates which isn't all that cool honestly.

Ultima 8: beaten. A bad old game, semi-saved by the fact that it wasn't as bad as Ultima 9.
Plus I just realized that the Guardian dude, the series villain from Ultima 7 onwards is a sunburnt Trump dropping fake news on everyone .

No idea. I played the gog version of ultima 8, didn't notice there was a improved fan-created u8 game engine until way too deep into ultima 8.
Low efffort google check on exult shows the last exult software release as feb 2017.

Now I want to update my very out of date freespace open files. They aren't that old...hmmm ouch 2015.

Waiting to see whether Mechwarrior Living Legends is going to push out another update, the website shows it at hotfix 0.9x.
Living Legends came back from the dead/hiatus mode when Mechwarrior Online continued it's streak (streak-srm style) of bombing out.

It's worth it to do all the assassination missions to unlock the other two pieces of equipment and to see one extra cool level.

Yeah I was getting into arguments on Reddit who nerds say the map is flatter. With the exception of one or two spots, most of the "flat" terrain has these little ridges and ravines that can let you crouch move in total cover. I really like some parts of the new map.

The original map has a lot of situations where you have to run out into an open field and eat poo poo. having lots of little low spots you can sneak around in owns. I've been playing solo into squad games and just trying to pick dudes off and its a blast.

It owns so much and I love how some Polish studio came out of nowhere to clown on all the other studios that bitch about how impossible it is to do something special with an open world game.

Roads are pretty important in miramar if you need to get into the zone, especially if you're in the bang bus - but there are also some dirt paths and flatter mesas that if you know about, can make traversing offroad faster.

Edit: Also buggy and 2 seater dirt bike. Half the maps I'm just loving around with the dirt bike.

Mad max simulator update

there is a button to self destruct

if you prime your self, after 5 seconds or if the enemy blows you up, you explode

you can literally scream witness me and take out two or three guys as a lot of equipment makes your explosions better

I don't think there's been any real significant changes to FSO since then? The last major update was around the time the last act of War in Heaven came out. That and Freespace Blue are the only major mod releases I can think of.

I always got the feeling he was supposed to be an Avatar from another world who just decide that fuckit, these guys keep screwing up, we're doing it my way now rather than what they did with him in 9.

I have mixed feelings on pc v1.0. I like all the changes I've seen, the new machine gun is fun, vaulting, new map, etc. But as soon as I get shot my game locks up for 1-2 full seconds during which time...you guessed it! I'm getting lit the gently caress up. I'm effectively one-shotted every time. More than a bit frustrating.

That sucks, I've had a pretty good time with the update. I get rubber banding in the first minute after I drop, but it runs fine otherwise.

The Xbox launch of hilariously lovely, though, but it should get better with time. Hopefully they didn't totally gently caress themselves

pubg is putting all their talent into making the game prettier with new maps and new guns when all it really needs is better netcode/servers. The only real change it needed was vaulting./

You might be right about the Guardian, however in 2017 on-wards my take is becoming eerily prophetic.

The worst voice acting I've heard has to be in Larian's Divine Divinity & Beyond Divinity. So awful, so screechy, so "Actually english is my 4th language" vocal talent casting.

I reskimmed Masters of Doom, and realized I was incorrect about John Carmack & his juvie theft of computers.
It wasn't a store, it was a school that had Apple 2 computers, and Carmack mixed up a special thermite paste to melt through the windows during the break-in.
tldr....People REALLY need to read Masters of Doom.
