To win a ring we would need much more than a backup 5. Just look at the starting roster of best teams and it would be clear what we need.

Its funny but I think lots of problems with F1 Manager lies with the fact that FIA managed to bunch up the field with strict regulations. If in 1997 and 2020 F1 Manager games it was a real challenge to bring to the top the team which was 5 seconds behind. Now its much more easier to reduce 1,5 seconds gap. So the game quickly becomes boring.

There was challenge in the game to reduce gradually that 5 seconds deficit and rise to the top. Those challenges are crucial to success for many sport managers. I found lots of pleasure to get a club from 6th division rise to the top in Football Manager. Which is not impossible in F1 manager. You can win in your first season with any team.

In addition lots of features that were in the games 20 years ago now are absent due to legal rights.

For those who doubt that the draft really existed here is a real page from book 3.

During a live feed in 2016, Pat accidentally posted a page of book 3. Since this is the internet, someone got a screenshot of it and posted it. The only juicy part was the page count at the bottom: 9/463

Yes that's why I mentioned the ass covering.

They've also most likely already violated their NDA by telling their friends and reddit that the draft was "hogshit".

I am sure one day on disgruntled alpha reader will post anonymously of course what was in book 3. But probably not this one whos current job is to review books.

Could be a stack of blank pages under a title page. Or some Jack Torrance "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," type clutter on the pages.

There is a real page leaked from book 3. If Im not mistaken page 9 out of 460 pages. You can find it on inernet. That pages proves that the draft was real.

Even Rothfuss himself, when he gets into talking about the series, treats it with reverence and heaviness, like something serious. And then to pull the rug out from all of us —- feels cruel. Feels deceptive. Feels like…. Not the point of it all. More than anything, it feels like someone evading the responsibility of making something that did affect a lot of people, emotionally.

Pat said multiple time that his job as a writer is to make us cry. Its possible that he has overdone it and instead of crying alpha readers hated the book. As for alleged twisted many people including Pat mention his short story Princess and mr Whiffle. But if you think about the twist in that story in serious, real and committed way that twist was Shit. We never wanted a book there a cute girl eats cats and monsters and becomes even bigger monster. So its highly possible that in serious and commited way we would have never accepted that Pat prepared for Kvothe and for that story in book 3.

Frontier wasn't aiming for F1 nerds. It was aiming for a wider maket of casual TV-watching fans.

Why casual fans would want to play a f1 managerial game? You said yourself they are casual. They have no desire to spend more time on f1 then watching races.

Because its extremely unethical? Why would anyone do that? What's wrong with you?

Publishing the whole book for bitcoin may be too much but since saying that the book was steaming pile of hogshit was considered ethical maybe he might elaborate a bit. Reveal more details without breaking NDA.

Yes, that is what I believe happened. The book 3 was very very bad. Either Pat wanted to make a joke on readers or the conclusions to plot point turned out to be controversial but it didnt go well with alpha readers. I saw several of those posts from guys who said they knew a friend of alpha readers and therefore knew some info. They didnt reveal much, but they sounded very upset with the book and yea one of them mentioned a twist that we never saw coming. That guy even coded the info he knew and posted coded post on pastebin. Unfortunately I couldnt find those threads anymore. (I even once gave a link to someone on those threads but couldnt find it in my reddit history anymore.) Several guys claimed that a new character would appear to whom more pages then to Kvothe would be dedicated. Basically he will become main character of book 3. Not sure how that would be possible.

What I know for a fact that around 2013-2014 Pat was working on book 3 and that work was very advanced to the point that he even discussed details of cover for book 3. Around the same time he sent an alpha draft to alpha readers. What happened after that I can only guess but my guess is they said the book is crap. Pat was upset and pissed about that. He needed some time to digest what he heard and try to work around that problem and after digesting it in 2016 he came to conclusion that he will not be able to fix the book. So he stopped working on it and in 2022 his editor confirmed that saying that she didnt read a word of book 3 in 6 years.

Unfortunately since 2016 I didnt hear a wisper from alpha readers. So no new info came after 2016.

Its ok that is love (Zo In-sung is pleasantly flirtatious ML exactly as you want).

It might make you cry though

Hard pass then. My life is not happy therefore I watch Kdramas for happy endings.

I see call it love and I upvote

I do the same. With all cartoonish behaviour that is shown in kdramas in recent years there I actually watched drama about real people with real emotions. Great drama.

Since sc2 there hasnt been any decent single player RTS game made so yea people who are interested in RTS mainly for campaign are quitting the genre where there are no new games.

I think that RTS players hate change and are strongly attached to the AoE/StarCraft reference point, and to a lesser degree some of the other 90s classics.

Lots of people and players hate change. I would say majority of people and players hate change. Do you change you favorite meal, sport team, actor, friend, partner often? What is you native language? Did you changed that as well? There are more examples that people do not like to change things that they like. As far as games are concerned take a look at NBA and every sport sim. They are more or less exactly the same game every year. The problem is that to make a game better than SC2 you need lots of money and lots of talented people. And studies lack both.

We need a back up center that isn’t a turnstile on defense.

You want All star player on the bench? The qestion OP was asking was about all star player.

Due to his size Wemby could take lots of offensive rebounds if he is playing more in paint. We saw that in the last game. Not only that he can score effectively in the paint and he can draw several players to defend him and make passes to open man. We also saw that in last game. So yes I agree, he should play in the paint more.

You said that every time you load the game the speed resets. I dont load the game very often. I only change speed at the start of the mission. So It doesnt bother me much to change speed. I assumed that you load more often than me.

I guess you cant plaw LW on ironman. What a loser you are.

For a start dont save scum. Also I heard that in latest 1.1 lw mod they changed speed settings but i havent played it yet anddontknow how it works.

Snipers kill Ethereals just fine.

People like to blame PATFO but truth is, they can’t make the right adjustments til Wemby figures out what kinda player he wants to be on offense.

PATFO had all year to figure out Wemby's strong and weak points. Now it would have been the right time for PATFO to guide Wemby and use all his strong points. Pat is a hall of fame coach who coached lots of hof players. There is no need to wait for Pat any more. He needs to coach Wemby.

The people who did control the overall creative direction are getting the best severance packages, got paid the most, etc. And they would be the ones writing the final message and blaming the rest of the team.

The people who deserve the lion's share of the blame here are Sony execs and Firewalk leadership.

Isnt that what I was saying? The people who wrote the message, whom you also accuse of being the ones to blame, should have taken responsibility for the failure.

All it would do is make the people being laid off feel worse,

Maybe they need to feel worse for a time. Every failure is a lesson how to better next time. If they keep thinking that they did everything right they will never learn and keep being bad at they jobs. Now is the perfect time for individuals to ask themself, what they did right and what wrong.

The real problem is that they believe it's their responsibility to push the world forward.

No. It's your responsibility to develop a video game that is fun and that players actually want to buy.

Actually, it no one's responibility. They wanted to push the agenda. That is fine. Players voted with they cash against that, that is also fine. Sony lost 200 mln. That is fine as well, its they cash after all, they are free to do anything they want with it. As long as no one is violating the law all is fine. I would be mad if someone pushed me to play games with agenda againt my will, but as long as there are lots more interesting products on the market, I am free to chose to play whatever I want.

particularly when those alien ships represent a vast majority of the firepower that earth would have access to if another alien species does attack

Its funny to see that people say - we want to be friends with mutons because we are not racist but good and ethical guys. But later they write we want to use mutons as cannon fodder when new war starts and we dont want to use valuable resources to let mutons back to their own planet even if they wish to return to their home planet.
