I'm watching the RLM review of it now, and it kind of hit me that really He-Man is a property for people 50+ at this point. I vaguely remember He-Man, but I don't know that I was ever really into it. I'm just not quite old enough. If you were the target demographic for this in 1983-84, you were...

The show obviously has an enormous budget just from the set pieces and cars and shit. And it's obviously got a cast with above average acting chops. The writing is just so so terrible. I haven't watched the last episode yet, and I kind of just don't want to. You can really tell they had no idea...

I'd play it if it were a $20-30 box price and no subscription. A subscription on an MMO is an automatic no for me. Mostly because it makes it so I don't actually feel like I own the game. If I decide to stop playing for a year and come back, it feels like I'm basically paying the box fee again...

Misc was already a shell of itself for years before it shut down. Now years removed, I doubt most users are coming back.

Are they still sticking to their EA launch in a few months? It seems like they're basically doing a complete redesign at this point. It's starting to give me the same vibes that Ashes of Creation did where you're just like...what the fuck are these people doing?

Seems like we get a minor variation of those people here who just want the most painful possible mechanics. It's not a real MMO unless you have to spend 23 hours a day playing. Which is something I think @Kirun got to in a recent post, where it seems people are confusing difficulty for time...

It's memorable in the worst way. Instead of actively engaging in the game, I'm forced to do a frantic corpse recovery to not lose everything I've got. And in the course of that, the game threw an impediment that's basically insurmountable to waste my time (I should also add I even had a bard...

Down about an entire year's worth of expenses today in net worth. Which I guess is actually a good thing, because it means our withdrawal rate is sub-3%. Definitely annoying, but then again, we're also still up massively this year.

Yeah, but just imagine the epic battle scene with this banger in the background? It's got over a billion views, so that's how you know it's good.

Sounds like the ideal MnM experience they're going for. Reminds me of my story from a year ago where I died because I couldn't outrun a crocodile across the entire length of the zone, and when I went to find my corpse a sandstorm that lasted an hour started. Quit looking out of frustration...

The twinking thing is interesting. Assuming anyone from their team reads this, would making an account flag based on the highest level solve it easier? For instance, an account has a level 40 and 10 character. The account level is 40, meaning you can give an item from any range between 0-40 to...

I mean, even beyond that...they're claiming this game is notable because there are early level dungeons? Mixed tier level zones? Crafting? I don't even understand why they're pointing these things out. They're in literally every fucking MMO. It's like they actually think they're a direct...

Yeah, but how many of those 40% are on gimmiedats that cover 100% of their expenses?

I don't know how anyone can read that and be hopeful about this game.

Watching the Drinker video on Backrooms, and it makes me think it's not that movies or the theater experience is dead post-covid, but rather everyone has just rejected the dog shit Hollywood has been putting out. I think we all like to point out Endgame and covid as the end of an era, but I...
