Coaching mode is the way to play these games--there's just too much jank in controlling the players yourself. In coach mode you call plays, audibles, and hot routes it's just the AI controls the players after the snap. 1

Keyrock Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) A new update on Valheim: Coin stack and Coin pile - so you can build a dragon worthy hoard with all your excess wealth (sorry trolls) Treasure chest - to keep your additional excess wealth and supplies safe Iron grate - to lock up your treasures, or maybe a captured greydwarf or two The coin piles and stacks are big for me. If anyone remembers my Conan Exiles adventures from a few years ago, my throne room had piles of treasure everywhere because my lifestyle was so opulent I couldn't contain all my wealth in the treasury. Now I will be able to do that in Valheim too. Edited August 2, 2021 by Keyrock 3 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

BruceVC Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 https://www.mmorpg.com/news/former-blizzard-and-co-founder-of-arenanet-jeff-strain-calls-for-unionization-in-the-games-industry-2000122682 I respect and admire Jeff Strain so what I am about to say is not a personal criticism of him outside of his current suggestions to the Activision scandal He is suggesting unionization as a solution to this office misconduct? Why do you need to unionize to deal with blatant sexism that is already addressed in normal office codes of conduct that everyone should sign and be aware of when you join any listed company. I have worked 22 years in white collar jobs in listed companies and not once has it even been remotely discussed in the SA media narrative that  we need unions to deal with bigotry So this idea for Activision makes no sense to me?

Yeah, he also put there D vs R as an ongoing issue, which will drop on many many deaf ears in current polarizing society, which would in other case not have an issue with supporting the cause...

melkathi Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 We differentiate between truly good and successful. Not necessarily the same. For example many people would argue that 50 Shades of Gray was a very successful book, but not any shade of good. 5 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Chilloutman Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 there is nothing left of blizzard which did D2 or WC3. its just label, shell of good old company.
