In most games when things need to appear that weren't in the scene before, they either pop into existence or do a simple alpha fade-in.

In Elder Scrolls Online, appearing objects are drawn with a few pixels appearing each frame until it's totally visible, almost like a dithering effect. Old DOS games would use this effect to get something like transparent fading... namely, the old Elder Scrolls games.

The effect is such a strange thing to call back to, but I can't think of any reason they'd recreate that effect except as a callback.

Interesting that one of the two world's surviving socialist countries has a high approval rating.

Probably because they're slowly developing more and more industrially and economically. Getting better infrastructure built. That's being on the right track, if you're looking for step one to improving everyone's lives.

So I and my 4 friends decided to install League of Legends.
Only communication between us for like ~10 games was "Oh my God this game is so fucking retarded" or some variation of it.

Putnam's online right now, actually. By the looks of it, he's just retreated to the DF subforums and the Overwatch thread; he hasn't posted in GD since last month.

He has said a few times he feels like folks in the emotion threads don't take him seriously, or something to that effect. I'd bugger off if that were the case too.

I'd say they have regulars. Elites gives off a wrong vibe, don't you think?
