    The northern states have a different highway system from what I have seen. Where yall have cloverleafs (and the like) to get directly on and off of highways, the south has frontage roads with on and off ramps back and forth. Texas still has cloverleafs, they just get on and off of the frontage...

    Wat? I don't remember Super Mario 2 forcing you to play any of the girls and if you didn't pick Wario in Mario Kart you're a fag anyway (with Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, there is no reason to play Peach). Man-ginas in EQ, then WoW, always seemed shady because there were enough of a certain type...

    It looks like all the races and classes that were available last time I played are available this time. Halflings were the newest additions for that test. As an aside, there is no end time on this flash test, but it sounds like it was a last minute deal to play around with new server hardware...

    So the loot sellers invite them into the group to get kill credit. Need to be on the hate list while over the level cap? Then run in, get death touched with a 96% rez as part of the sale. Sweatlords will find a way to sell it if it's popular enough.

    Just to clarify on how insane you actually are, for my own curiosity. You know I was not the one you were "arguing" with (spewing diatribes at) these last few pages? I only made one post about the whole food thing in this thread. Your diatribes are so off-putting that I read the first few lines...

    ...or I just don't answer your snarky ass shit, like usual. See, the post I replied to was halfway normal, so I decided to take a chance, my bad... yet again. I didn't speak to anything on your further rant about my personal ideologies, only in how the writers could write around it.

    While the over the top food debate is beyond tiresome, it should be easy for them to sidestep the whole "we cant harvest the corn and soybeans because it murders millions of mice" thing by further defining their "safety" parameters. The "we value all life" can simply be a shorthand said to the...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    That sums it up perfectly. The last season of Mando (a steady decline from S1) and this show killed any hope I had for Favreau and Filoni "saving" the franchise, or at least stabilizing it on life support. Andor was great, but that show is a unicorn that I don't see ever happening again. In...

    Supposedly there is no known limit to intelligence. A brain is a neural network that makes intelligence. Two brains linked would be a larger neural network. Every brain on the planet would/should make a super-intelligent network the likes we should not be able to even imagine (which is a huge...

    Respawns are respawns. Didn't you need to rest at a campfire to save the game? So hopping from one campfire to another to save progress and heal, then doubling back to see what you missed would get you respawns. It was a long time ago and it wasn't an experience I burned into memory (outside of...

    I didn't see anything that led me to believe the ET Virus had to be activated. In the first episode everyone starts acting under the virus's control as soon as they are infected and then they show the aircraft seemingly doing global aerosol dispersion. In the subsequent episodes, the only...

    I didn't play it on a PS anything. I don't buy consoles and I don't play consoles (usually), so keeping track of of the generations means nothing to me. I did "hack" one of my roomate's PS2 and pirated a bunch of games for it for a few years... so that's basically the default console I go to...

    It must have been Dark Souls 1 then, it was a long time ago, and since I didn't enjoy the game, there was no incentive to remember that many details outside of I hate constantly respawning trash and no story to be found. Again, I can write off a lot of the overall negative experience to shitty...

    Who you callin an EQ worshiper? I'm saying I did my time grinding for 10 lifetimes in EQ with hours on end of insta-death kiting if I fucked up (20 some years ago and I still am sick of the AA grind). Outside of a few bosses, Elden Ring as a mage wasn't harder than that (some Triumvirate boss...

    Figured "100 times" was a good round number to exaggerate for effect... My only real memory of Dark Souls 2 is going in completely blind on an emulated PS2 copy (also fuck any company that does exclusives), where all the tutorials are in PS2 controller, not M&K, and spending half of my ~4 hours...

    The whole game feels like a grind. "See that hall over there that you have to run through 100 times, well those 8 skeletons will be respawned EVERY SINGLE TIME you want to run though it." Fucking busy work that's not fun. "Want to know anything about the characters in the game? Well read this...

    Competing for a spot on the 10 slot spell casting bar hurts Harm Touch as well. The 30/45 min cooldown that maybe does half of a normal, even con, mob's HP isn't going to save the day anything close to the amount of times Lay on Hands does/will. Sure, if a snare wears off and the stun/mez/grip...

    To add onto this. Clerics also get a damage soak bubble that is insta cast and not on the global recast timer (still has it's own short timer). So they should be the "best" healer, but not by that large of a margin. Which is needed, since the other two get stronger utility in haste(shm)...

    Short races are shit often due to armor models being meh and a too low PoV (they're also ugly... well dwarfs aren't turrable). I can't ever play them in any game I have tried for any amount of time. Ogres supposedly have clipping issues and of course fitting in place. Lack of easily available...

    It was a serious question. As far as I knew they were still doing security updates for the foreseeable future but I wouldn't put it past them to announce that they will be sending an update that tries to install win11. That or have it look like you must "upgrade" to Win11 and including a small...

    From what I watched of season 3 I rooted for Taliesin to die because he basically recreated the shitty Molly character again. I was also rooting for his character to die as well. Not sure if I will ever start season 4 since splitting it up looks like it was so they could get their diversity...

    Yeah, that lull was great for splitting camps, but it did get me killed a few times when trying to lull +4 or higher over level (also, bosses seem immune or maybe the gobo boss was high resists). I used the shit out of it until I found my Grip of Shadows spell on my SK, which trivializes...

    Yes and maybe. Druids only currently have two ports, one close to the zone line to Glass Flats in Sungreet and one at the Woody city. I got a druid up to 16 and didn't see an AoE spell outside of root. I didn't get high enough level to mess with druid charms (two boxed in the undead dungeons for...

    Supposedly Nick mentioned in the Dev stream, about halfway through the last test, that they will probably have at least one more test.

    She needs to be various levels of unlikeable to get people to sympathize more with how "great" the hive mind might be. Then they will slowly pull back the curtain, like @TJT says, and during that time she becomes more relatable to a wider audience.
