I'm taking one last character through the campaign and those fucking breach forts are just obnoxious. They get in the way while making everything ugly. I'm positive that some of this league's bad retention are due to how much worse it is to take a quick trip through the campaign versus last league.

What I love about Orson Welles here being a curmudgeon is that this clip is from 1982. He was already sick of homages in the 80s.

It appears to be a series of tasteful shots with minimal dialogue with most of the screen time spent on a grumpy lesbian.

The game looks good and it's still pretty new while also having a free weekend and not costing all that much even outside that window. It brought in a lot of normies is what I'm saying. I just wish I could select classes and skills with a reasonable amount of confidence that the campaign wasn't...

Are they really following player patterns when it appears to be a hard rule that players are allotted 36 weeks in vanilla through Luclin and sixteen in PoP/LDoN setting things up for a fresh TLP when May rolls around? They're not even trying to get people to hang around for the later expansions...

If all of this is etched in stone than I don't consider starting later than vanilla to be a feature. I like all the early expansions just fine but eighteen weeks of Velious to eighteen weeks of Luclin is too much of both of them. I'd absolutely rather spend at least a slice of that time in...

And then what, 16 weeks of PoP to get us to 52? I would like more information as to the nature of these handcuffs.

I get that the results are tied to the options presented but who the fuck wants to do ToV and AoW from the end of May in to October? Finish that up and it's 18 months of Luclin? Do their internals tell them that every TLP must be right around Gates of Discord the following May to encourage...

With Path of Exile 2 starting a new league last week I started listening to the audiobook again. There's two different recordings and I found a higher quality version of the older one that would have been on cassette. I've listened to both before and prefer the older but the quality on the...

I'm caught up. I conclude each episode feeling puzzled.

I liked it more than IT Chapter 2.

WoW style personal loot where you check a box for the kind of shit you want and sometimes you get it would be good fun in EQ and by fun I mean infinite drama. Which would also be fun. Something that occurred to me when I was thinking about free trade Velious start was how much the boxer/RMT...

It's early and I didn't look at all of them but most of the results thus far are reasonable. People want a Velious start with free trade and no item requirements with faster unlocks post Planes of Power. If we're just reheating leftovers you could do a lot worse.
