  • Monster Hunter Stories 3 just released and it’s insanely good. As usual it’s way too expensive as all AAA games are now, but I’m a sucker for Monster Hunter so I was going to pay no matter what. It’s a lot more open than the previous games, which makes it feel a lot more interesting and the new gameplay sytems really play into that in a good way. It’s also a lot of fun as a Monster Hunter fan seeing all the monsters they chose for the game. Some of their picks are very surprising!

    I also picked up Dragon Quest Builders as it was recently on sale and I need to satisfy my extremely intense desire for Pokopia while not supporting Nintendo. I played through the second game a long time ago but I never played the first one until now. It’s fun but you can definitely feel that this was their first attempt at this kind of thing. I’ll probably replay the second game when I’m done with this one.


  • When I had this problem in the past it was actually other addons causing the problem. Do you have any other addons? If so, try disabling all your addons (except ublock) and checking if the problem is gone. If so then you can re-enable them one by one until you find the offender. For me it was actually an addon which shouldn’t have affected YouTube or ads at all which was causing the problem.

    If that doesn’t work or you don’t have any other addons, try going into the ublock settings (click the icon in your taskbar and then click the gears) and click restore to default settings at the bottom. If that still doesn’t work then you might have to seek help elsewhere (the official support page is r/ublockorigin if you’re okay with using reddit)

    Animals are one group or “kingdom” of life. Plants (such as trees) and fungi (such as mushrooms) each have their own kingdoms, and so do bacteria and a few other forms of life. They’re organized this way to represent how closely related they are. Every single living thing in the animal kingdom is more closely related to every single other thing in the animal kingdom than to anything in any other kingdom.

    As an example, chimpanzees, starfish, and earthworms are more closely related to each other than to a sunflower, so we call chimpanzees, starfish, and earthworms animals but not sunflowers. This is called “taxonomy” and there’s a ton of different levels of how related things are, ranging from very distantly related to so closely related you can barely tell them apart. Kingdom isn’t even the most broad!

    You might have also heard that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants, but that doesn’t mean that fungi are animals, just that the lifeform that branched into fungi and animals did so a lot later than the one that branched into plants. In the end they’re still distinct enough that we call them different kingdoms!






  • You’re right, there are, but my point was that private MMO servers are significantly harder to host and moderate than a private server in a match-based multiplayer game like say Team Fortress 2. An MMO that relies on private servers is almost certainly doomed to fail, so it must have some form of official server, which then will need some form of cheating prevention.


  • The issue is that that’s only a solution for a certain type of multiplayer game. MMOs and battle royales for example cannot feasibly implement community servers as their main form of multiplayer connection, because very few people have the capabilities to host such servers, much less moderate them at such high player counts. Heck, there’s even arguments to be made for the value of public matchmaking, despite how often it gets blasted in spaces such as this. Private servers are unfortunately not a one-size-fits-all solution.
