    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    It's amazing, and you can see in this thread how I have gone from skeptic to believer to full-blown converted evangelist. I am spending my Saturday getting Google AI Certs rather than playing POE2; that's how far I have gone. I create process documentation, presentations, work products, tools...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I have "pro" versions of Claude and ChatGPT, and get Grok with my Twitter Premium and Copilot with my M365: What it gets you is expanded functionality, and things that normally cost money/hits limits; those limits aren't there. I use the pay versions extensively and haven't thought about it a...

    Path of Exile 2

    I, too, am excited to see where all these story threads go. There is a large amount of good narratives here. Your post had me right up until the end, though, that is some Sixth Sense level of rug pull. The story in Starfield is never going anywhere, Dr. R. That's the trick.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The first rule of RPG club is we never recommend that game club. When in doubt, play Cyberpunk 2077? IDK.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Not a real fan of Souls-likes, but loved this. So many amazing, unique moments. I knew I was hooked when I found the elevator to Nokron; It will be hard to replicate that experience for me ever again. Go play Tainted Grail instead, and never utter that blasphemy here again.

    Path of Exile 2

    It sucks to need to fill out the tree but then have all of these quests where you get no end game progression at all. The end game is now seemingly the opposite of what it was before: Too much to do/too many tasks to do, rather than endless mapping/atlas nothing. Don't get me wrong, its a huge...

    Path of Exile 2

    If you don't know what you are doing, that seems to be the order of the day in almost everything. I have learned (and seem to keep learning) so much this league about POE/POE2.

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    The advanced version of this would be trying to finish stringing a barbed wire fence at night in the misting rain and having to hold the fence post while your father drives it: "Stop holding it like you're holding your dick and hang on!" Image courtesy of ChatGPT:

    Last Epoch

    Yes, something something ran out of money sold to Ten cent never made an expansion player (and everyone else) interest died. Had some good classes, Time travel campaign idea got old fast.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    The things they took from us, replaced by taking the gayness from the forums and putting it in-game.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    I bought this sight unseen based on Skill Up/others' review. I should have known to come here first for the Ut/FOH skinny. I am too deep in POE2 right now anyway. Refunding. Edit: Refund Achieved. IIRC I have never refunded anything before. Fuck Ubisoft and these trans activists hiding tits...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    That's the way I remember it; I haven't read it since college. I am such a huge Nolan fan. I was even a Tenet defender (my theater had good sound) but this is one, erm, journey he will probably have to go on without me. Obviously will wait for the reviews, I don't get out much these days.

    Path of Exile 2

    But you can't just blast through any of them, you still have to tediously not get hit through sekhemas 4 times, which is like 40+ fights, rooms whatever or go through 3+1 ten stage trials of chaos, with weird factors every making everything more and more difficult. Make it 10 hard of...

    Path of Exile 2

    If they want to make it hard, make it hard. It just takes so fucking long, then to get right to the end and have some RNG BS fail you out. Temple seems fine until you realize for the 4th ascendency you have to do 3 different runs to get 3 different pieces to finally face the final guy, screw...
