    Lord of the Rings Online

    I like this, but it does make vip much less appealing. I'd rather just buy lotro points for mithril coins, crafting bags and inventory space.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    It may look odd now because of the promotion that's giving everything to everyone. The way it normally works: Buying the expansion gives you access to the area, then you can get VIP(aka a normal game subscription) to access the quests, or buy all the quests in game outright. It was their version...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    It looks like Helm's Deep is $20 on the newish standing stone games store. It looks like they're transitioning away from the old site. I don't know if those are normal or sale prices, but $20 is a lot cheaper than 4295 points. They use digital river to sell codes for games, which is weird, but I...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I want to highlight that I'm not suggesting anyone do 2nd or 3rd age weapons at this point. The functional difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd age is negligible, but the first age is a tiny bit better. When first went through the process in 2016/2017 1st age weapons were prohibitively...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I looked at the legendary imbue process again yesterday. What a pain, especially for a min/maxer who wants those extra few dps. I hope the rework makes it more accessible. Got sucked in yesterday and did the midsummer chapter and a couple Mordor zones. The music in the game is still fantastic

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I maxed my stuff out ages ago. If I remember right, 1st/2nd/3rd all end up in the same place, but 1st give you a heads start. I think I went with 2nd because that's what I could make, and first age was crazy expensive or a pain to farm. I did whatever the extra farming and it was fine. But, the...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    It looks like I stopped in the middle of the second mordor zone, so there's plenty for me to do. It took me a bit to remember how to spec my champion(110) but it seems like he still does good damage. How soon is the legendary weapon change? I looked and I think my level 100 2nd age stuff is...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    How does the future of the game look? I think I finished, or made it halfway through Mordor the last time I played. I stopped when the new lotr MMO was announced because the it seemed like lotro would be doomed, but they have another expac announced on the wiki page?

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Pretty good line up. I think I need to agree with Mike about Turtle Dreams, it has to be poking fun at avant garde. That or Meredith Monk is a lunatic.

    Is this the Baconater breakfast? If that was on a buttermilk biscuit instead of a bun it'd be perfect.

    Warframe

    I did the raptors solo, without looking anything up the first time. Maximum frustration. I think a good shotgun can make short work of the raptor, then just drop the ball in the hole. I think the arca plasmor is still pretty good after the status nerf, because it wasn't a 100% status build...

    Speech to text?

    I use otter.ai for transcriptions because they make timed srt files and regular transcriptions from mp3s. It's 10$/mo for 6000 minutes premium account. The transcriptions have been pretty good. If you want a ghetto solution play audio into Google docs speech to text.

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Gibson did something cool. Not really about just guitar, but Cantrell talks for an hour about his music career. I'd call it his best interview, but it's not really an interview. It's just him the entire time.

    I decided to go from 10's to 9's on my sterling jp160 this weekend without realizing the Floyd has to be restrung differently and that I would need to adjust the tension. It took about an hour, but I got the bridged leveled after removing one of the springs and adjusting the screws. I bought a...

    The Irishman (2018)

    Made it through the whole thing. I kinda want my Sunday afternoon back. It would've been better with younger actors that were aged. It's not just the CGI, it was the body language. They moved like old guys. The rest of the cast was fine and Pacino did a great job as Hoffa. It would've been a...

    Looks like an old allegation. This reddit post is from February. Giantwaffle isn't mentioned in the post, but he is mentioned in the flair for the website. Any police reports or legal action?

    I wish I didn't hate headphones because I'd love to get a multi-fx board and go digital. I hate having headphones on for long periods of time. I've been looking at low wattage amps or amps with built in attenuators. I bought a small fender mustang and it sounds fine, but it's a pain to tweak the...

    Theorycrafting from TheQuartering. We don't know anything, we may never know anything. Just one more mystery in the dumpster fire of 2020. Someone in the Twitch cult needs to spill the beans. Official apology.

    I agree, but I'd wouldn't call the people who run twitch rational. Didn't they do some dumb irrational shit when Ninja left? And h3h3.

    I made it through character creation and into the game, but it just felt weird running around so I logged out. Not a very earnest attempt on my part.

    Twitch.tv

    Twitch itself is a creepy cult inside the creepy cult of modern leftism, so I'd take any word from their affiliates like Shannon with a grain of salt. The simplest answer is that he probably was going to a competitor. But who knows, maybe they have HD footage of him in some participating in some...

    You're right, the orange is .60. I pulled out my stash for comparison. Also, be prepared for it to be thicker. Sweetwater puts it at 1.38mm. This is it compared to a 1mm + 1.14mm I tried the Jazz III for a bit after watching a Kiko Loureiro where he talks about his style of playing with...

    I switched from a .88(orange) to 1mm(blue) tortex a few months ago. I've found that I can use it for both rhythm and single note practice so I'm sticking with it for the foreseeable future.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Before it started happening, I'd only log one account into each computer. SK into the desktop, Shaman into the laptop. I gave up yesterday after getting the 'Server request denied' error for a 5th day in a row.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I'm starting to take this personally. Three days in a row. I played a little this morning without issue, and logged out normally for lunch and to get some exercise. Just got this trying to log in agian.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    That's shitty. I think I'm done for awhile until I'm sure I can log in every night without that server denied message, or I get some reply from support. I don't want to invest any time if I'm not going to be able to log in because of their buggy anit-cheat software.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I just tried again and I hit a two minute queue, which logged me in. A few days ago the queue would boot me every time. The behavior of their queue and anti cheat makes no sense.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    No, one account, one machine. It gives a different error when you try to log in an account that's already in world. I submitted a ticket. No response and I still can't log into Aradune several hours later.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I have a laptop I use for two-boxing on TLP that works fine. I logged in and back out without issue. So it's something wrong with my desktop. I'm going to try to submit a ticket for all the good that will do.

    Second day in a row I've turned on my computer, try to log in, and get this. One account, one machine. I'm not doing anything to break the server rules. Maybe it's a sign I should be doing something else with my time.
