Ah yes. Promotional ships that sell for $1000s of dollars irl that are only available in limited runs that you get to keep when the game launches into stable release.

Oops, forgot to mention that some of these ships might not ever be available outside of alpha besides for those that already own them. That means new players in stable will encounter ships they'll never be able to own.

Most of my friends that play it say it's a fair trade since you're paying so much for them, but it still feels largely like a scam to me. You could do so such much better for yourself with that kind of money than just owning a digital asset.

Oh and those ships? They're not tradeable to other players afaik.

Edit: This isn't really fine at all and is in fact a P2W mechanic inside a game you already have to pay for up front.

They got the same vibe going on as the 7 days to die devs.

He's also the creator of JavaScript if that irks you any more.

Are we referring to the right to exist in ancestral lands where largely, the only claim to such lands are a millennias old religious text? The current occupants of said land have actual, clear historical precedence rooted in fact to occupy said land.

Also, as others have pointed out, I think it's pretty clear that Israel could exist anywhere. The concept of a nation is largely driven by the shared collective of human experiences, culture, norms, and beliefs of the people that inhabit said Nation, not geographical boundaries.

That's probably not something they'd be willing to share with you until you're hired, similar to salary I'm guessing.

If the rumors regarding the performance for the sequel are true, they won't even have a working game on launch.

That was actually a Microsoft/Phil Spencer decision. If the man gets his way, a lot more studios could fall into The Xbox Exclusive club.

Honestly, I wish exclusives between the consoles would go away, they do more harm to the industry than good.

Huh, I always thought that the creation engine was something they built from scratch. No wonder it has all the same problems.

Besides myself, I have two other friends that also stopped at a Masters or dropped down to a Masters for similar reasons.

You forgot about Supply-Side Jesus.

Its called kapton tape. Its specialized, non-conductive, high temperature threshold tape that's used to prevent shorts in electronics. You usually see it in laptops to hold things like wires in place if the manufacturer didn't design guides into the case.

You should be able to buy it from Amazon or any e-tailer. Your local hardware store probabaly also sells it.

I don't know why you would need it on a ram module though, unless the module itself has the possibility of coming into contact with a conductive surface or an SMD or other component on the board or surrounding enclosure.

Also, you'd be better off replacing both ram modules with a matching set from a kit. Even if you find the exact same module online, since they aren't from the same batch, you can't guarantee they'll perform well together.

Titanfall 2. Its the only game I've ever played to successfully integrate time travel in a way that makes sense and feels good. They could have built an entire game around that mechanic alone and you only get it for a single level.

Also, the campaign in general is top-notch storytelling for an FPS.
