    Aion 2

    Gamers have changed. It use to be that mmo players vastly preferred the good factions in games. When I played EQ everyone wanted to be good, evil races were not rare but not played as much. Same thing with WoW, I first played during BC and picked Horde. Turned out alliance dominated most servers...

    Aion 2

    West coast server this morning had a bunch of chinese farmers talking in chinese about scripts, bot farms, etc. But there is an auto--translate feature so you could read them. And apparently they can't translate our stuff. They were on the west coast server because the lag is less than the east...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    That looks pretty good, but with all that DLSS processing it also looks a lot like every AI video on youtube. AI art has a style that was pretty cool at first, but I quickly grew tired of it.

    The Tuck Rule will always find a way (fuck the Patriots).

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Unfortunately, as we have seen the last 7 years or so, seemingly intelligent people can believe incredibly stupid things (men can be women, etc). And when confronted with reality they don't adjust, but instead double down on stupid. I live in CA, and see this every day. I hope you all get...

    Aion 2

    Y'all are right, we all know what the asian devs do. But since the west can't seem to get out of the woke/broke dev cycle (and we don't make mmos any ways). It's pay to play the new grindy shiny from the east.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I'm fine with the outrage, even if it's a bit overblown. Fucking trans/fags and wannabe girl bosses ruined games the last few years. They deserve to be called out over and over and over again.

    Different. Definitely not BDO. Sounds like learning the encounter becomes a bit more important.

    Aion 2

    I tend to buy the deluxe packs for new mmo's. But usually the mounts, etc. have some sort of perk. I don't understand these AION 2 packs. Outside of the monthly sub and the headstart, the extras are just not that good. The cosmetics are ok, but they're not exclusive and there seems to be better...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    EC tunnel was fun for a minute of nostalgia. Then I remembered why I hated it after trying to gear my alts. Was looking forward to the bazaar, glad it's early.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    About time they get some pushback. Dipshits giving them thousands of dollars and carrying their water when all it is is a fucking tech demo have allowed Chris and company to do nothing but spurge. The game makes great pics, but you can get AI to create that slop for free.

    Guild Wars 3

    Looking forward to this. GW1 and GW2 are a couple of my favorite mmos. Let's hope they don't screw it up.

    Untitled James Bond Film

    'Bond Bit Her on the Ass': Jen Salke Exits a Changing Amazon Studios That She Helped Grow | Analysis She fucked up a lot. But the Bond fuck up was a huge fucking issue and she was let go almost immediately after Bezos had to pony up another billion for the rights. LOTRO is a disappointment but...

    Aion 2

    Aion 1 became a pve game very quickly after all the servers became massively lopsided in favor of the Elyos. First few months of pvp were a lot of fun though. Never understood why the MMO devs back then couldn't understand that humans will always jump to the winning side if they can. So their...

    Untitled James Bond Film

    Jennifer Salke and Vernon Sanders were let go. Salke ran Amazon MGM studios and Sanders worked for her as head of TV. Salke is directly responsible for most of the horrible decisions regarded DEI etc in their media products. The Bond situation was a major part of her firing. A December 2024...

    Aion 2

    Getting a good server is a crapshoot. Even if you get lucky and start on a good one, PvP'ers tend to jump servers quite a bit. So a good server today could be a ghost town tomorrow after the big guild(s) moves. Assuming they allow server transfers right away. Probably be server merges withing 6...

    So true. But it plays like the single player games and they were after those fans.

    New World

    Game was good. But the tech corps want WoW or FFXIV numbers. And that probably isn't enough.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    I really don't have any interest in seeing this movie. Nolan's shtick is wearing thin and half of the cast I can't stand. The last movie I saw with Matt Dumbfuck Damon was the Martian. What an over-rated pos. But I like hard sci-fi (almost non existent in Hollywierd) and the director, so I put...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    Think the experimenting is cool but I like the Frostreaver server as is. I get my nostalgia fix, but don't really have to work for it. All/all might be fun, but it would destroy my illusions.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    That might bring me back. At least to check it out again. When they made everything scale to your level and easy as as fuck is when I stopped playing this game. Then WoW did it and that pretty much took two major games off my play list. Granted, I only played ESO and WoW very casually. But they...

    Aion 2

    Black desert is full of card swipers, maybe not as much now but still plenty. And some of them spent 10s of thousands of dollars. I'm not a fan of P2W games but that's just the way Korea rolls. Couldn't keep up with the swipers but I played the hell out of BDO anyways, and still log in for at...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    Kind of true for all old mmos with lots of expansions. WoW Classic certainly can attest to that.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Ford 150 4x4. Don't know what other vehicles are, don't care. Haven't driven anything else since the 90's. Always just buy another one. In my business they are almost a uniform.

    Everquest Legends

    The sad truth is that the whales won a long time ago. Even Vegas doesn't care about the plebes anymore. It's a pay to play world.

    Heheh. And every device has an active microphone and sometimes a camera too. And that microphone off switch is just for looks, it doesn't do anything. We're in a corporate version of 1984. Wish I was younger so I could give a fuck.

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    Out of the blue I decided to play EQ again after thinking I was done with this game for good years ago. Just happened to be a couple days after Frostreaver launched, which I really knew nothing about. So when my full bank bags on my level 85 sk gave me fucking headache, I ditched that and...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Most people who have access paid for it long before steam release. And most players are waiting for the wipe that was announced a few months back. I know that's why i haven't logged in much. MnM is in a similar situation with people not wanting to waste their time until the major update is in...

    Don't know where Pheerie sits in all of this, but I'm certainly afraid of AI. But Pandora's box is already open, can't go back. So it's join the lemmings time and hope we don't all fall off the cliff. Oh, and I think claude is amazing.

    Stargate SG-1

    Unfortunately that isn't the case. Netflix wins because they supply the most content by far. It doesn't matter that the vast majority of what Netflix produces is complete garbage.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    AI is here to stay and it has it's uses. We use it quite a bit at my company to analyze contracts and specs. We're even training it to do basic engineering work. But it only works if the person using the AI has enough experience and knowledge of the work that they can check what the AI...

    Guild Wars 2

    GW2 has no sub, no battlepass and is basically action combat now. So just an extension of GW1 and GW2. Looking forward to this. GW2 and Black Desert are mmo's I spend the most time in. I prefer their take on the genre over the standard WoW theme park sludge. I just find the theme park mmo's...

    The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026)

    First season of Mandalorian was like that for me. Entertaining and it didn't preach modern audience nonsense. It was the later seasons stopped me watching. It sounds like they just wanted this movie to keep the fans somewhat entertained, sell some Grogu merch, and not cause another internet...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    So was thinking of trying this again. Went to the forums and apparently there has been a recent wipe / update that is totally fubar. Wipes are fine, still alpha, blah blah. And game forums are generally drama queen havens. But I noped out anyways. Will try again in a few months, just not ready...
