    No Man's Sky

    The earth biome you mean? It's amazing how many alien worlds have evolved evergreen trees exactly like ours.

    Aion 2

    Starting to lose interest. Played a ton the last couple of weeks, great fun, totally worth the buy in. But I knew the lobby dungeon grind would kill it. Just not a fan of lobby games. The dungeons are fine, but not after the 50th run. The Abyss is ok. But I played a ton of Aion 1 Abyss and this...

    Aion 2

    Fucking game. I know it has a limited life span for me, hate the blatant P2W stuff and the singular design around one number. But I keep logging in.

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

    Camelot Unchained is still in development. Haven't kept up with it lately, but discord is active and they keep updating the build. Pantheon hasn't announced bankruptcy yet, might be inevitable, but they are plugging along for now. So fake news. No they are not all bankrupt. That may happen but...

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

    I've been building computers since the early eighties. Worked on Dec computers before that. Doubled as IT in the companies I worked for before one bitched about paying me an engineer's wage for doing unbillable work. So they made me hire someone to do it. But I still was responsible for their...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    I live in San Diego. Long time now, most of my life. But I've been a Raider fan since I was a kid, before I moved out here. I've always hated the rest of the AFC West, especially the Donkos and the Cheaps. No way I could ever switch. Living here this long though, I do have a soft spot for the...

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

    If it's a prebuilt talk to them. If you built it yourself then I find that google AI is surprisingly helpful. I did my normal tests, but then I asked google ai and it had me do some of tests I didn't know about. Didn't see how my ram could be the problem, system isn't that old and the ram...

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

    Incredibly rare, but it can happen. If a failed update forces the system to repeatedly loop while attempting to write to the BIOS or map physical addresses, it can occasionally trigger an SPD corruption or cause a power surge that electrically fries a RAM stick. That is what happened to my ram...

    Aion 2

    Yeah. I'm not sure how much time I will play. I love the world, unreal 5 can do incredible things. Imo Aion 2 really is a step up in graphics over every mmo that has come before. Sometimes I just ride my pet to the next objective instead of porting just so I can look at the world. But the...

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

    I don't usually have issues, especially that bad. Never that bad in fact. Stick was probably going bad anyway and the update just pushed it along. But the timing. Jesus it's criminal how much decent ram costs today.

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

    I just came here to bitch. Fucking windows update last night blew up somehow. Woke up and my computer was hosed. Booting to screaming fans and a black screen. Reset cmos and all that. Turns out the update fucked up one of my ram sticks.. Unfixable. Matching the other one a crap shoot on ebay...

    Aion 2

    Not really bothered that people will do this. But I don't understand the mentality of needing to be first so badly in a game of pixels that you would spend thousands of dollars for it. Even if its' just pocket change for the person involved, it's still sad.

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    I like Asmongold for the most part. Fairly harmless and coming from the right place. And what he is doing is hilarious. But if I was playing right now I wouldn't want to be on a server with his guilds.

    Ugg. Not doing aa's on all my alts or my main at that rate. Better things to do.

    Gears of War 5

    First game has a lot of charm. I like the characters and the game play is fun, nothing complicated. Sometimes I just want to jump into a game and not think about 5 million different systems before firing a gun.

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    Hoping the current purge going on in the major dev studios is the result of owners and senior managment realizing they fucked up hiring these morons and are now reversing course. Their bottom line has been fucked the last few years and the bill is coming due. They can't just single out the dei...

    Gothic Remake

    Anyone try this yet? What did you think? Is it just a reskin? That's what I'm hoping for. Maybe a couple QoL improvements with the inventory. Loved the original. Even tried replaying it a few years back. Still had fun in spite of it's horrible ui / inventory. 20 percent off on Steam. Probably...

    Aion 2

    Game is really pretty. So nice to see killer graphics again. Not having a sub doesn't seem to be an issue early game. Haven't claimed my founders pack yet, so no sub. I imagine the sub is much more useful at the endgame, but the FTP players have a lot to play here.

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    Kind of sucks this is coming out now. It's been a mmo desert for a while. Now we have WoW C+, M&M, Aion2, EQ Frostreaver Luclin, etc. etc. and FFXIV with their combat revamp just around the corner. Wasn't really looking to go back to WoW, but this new stuff definitely has me interested. Going...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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...
