    Both IIRC. I know I did both. Progression gives all the major EXP (like 20% for a partisan cheevo and 8% for a merc cheevo during 111-115). Collections I remember being more about getting a whole bunch of AAs, though that might have been because I was capped on levels whenever I'd do those. I...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    ....Whether Genshin and Honkai are more sexual or less sexual than Stellar Blade is actually completely inconsequential to any of my overall points that mattered at all and not something I'm going to spend any time googling. I mentioned them because Stellar Blade isn't the only...

    For the most part, people didn't beat the Vaniki fights at the appointed levels. They beat them after the fact with higher level support. King/Queen might have been done legitimately though, I think those fights are possible at 60. Everything up to Cragbeast Queen was beaten by multiple guilds...

    Everything Knight Titus did reeked of ineptitude and assholery. Taunting the guy who is standing there holding his heal pack, then continuing to taunt him while he stares you down. Was a bit much. Like I can't imagine a real person behaving like that while they're desperately in need of a heal...

    Between the overlong dungeons, repetitive fights and visuals, and just general dullness of it, NWN fell off for me after that. It and NWN2 are both kind of "on the bubble" for me now, as in I might scratch them off the list entirely. They're sizable time commitments, and according to HLTB I...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    There were definitely a large amount of people bitching about it early on (...and apparently still, in some corners). I think they realized it was a losing fight and let it go though. For the most part now I see way more people bitching about the bitching than people actually bitching. It's a...

    Frontier Mountains Giant Fort was awesome, I've got fond memories of that too. Tried doing it again a few times on TLPs, and yeah, the EXP is so bad that it's bordering on time wasted, which is unfortunate. When I was a kid it was such a cool place, with lots of room to kite if solo, but also...

    Wow, that is some incredibly nitpicky bullshit. The game's dialogue is fine, pretty funny most of the time actually. There was no "did you assume its gender", what happened was they fought a big super-powerful golem and the hero kept calling it "he" and the main girl was like "how do you know...

    Got no issue with his blackness. I just really don't know WTF I'm supposed to glean from his performance. Lucy is happy-go-lucky good-hearted plucky face (something we need way more of in media).

    Yeah, ToV achievements give huge EXP boosts (and are pretty much the only way to level at 111+) but you can only get them once per character. IIRC doing all of the merc/partisan/missions on Phinny got me from 111 to half of 114 and I had to grind the rest of the way to 115. So it isn't like you...

    Droga/Nurga/Dalnir/Kaesora all being hotzones would have been tremendous for giving people a bunch of leveling paths. As for Kurns, it'll be as good as usual but I expect a huge amount of people to be crowded in there.

    Yeah he seemed fairly retarded to me, but I'm not sure if that's because the character was supposed to be, or the actor just didn't know what he was doing. He waffled all over the place with the performance. Was kind of charming and superhero-like in a few scenes (namely rescuing Lucy with the...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    In 2-3 hours of Eiyuden I haven't seen any wokeness or The Message popping up at all. It's very much "alternate-universe Suikoden 3 in the artstyle of the PS1 games". It's slightly challenging as well, I have to actually engage with the battles and earn wins, and I hope that continues to ramp up...

    Married couple friends of mine will split the PS4 (probably have 5 by now IDK) and portable-mode Switch to sit on the couch together playing two different games, and it's like they're hanging out. Most of the stuff she likes they get on Switch and most of the stuff he likes they get on PS. They...

    Got gifted a copy of Eiyuden Chronicles while having COVID so I checked it out (also got Rising, the prequel episode game, since it's like $15 now, probably gonna play that after the main game) After 2 hours, STRONG recommendation for the main game if you're a retro JRPG fan. 100% must-get for...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Was very ill today, ended up watching a bunch of old SNLs on Peacock. Specific episodes like Steven Seagal (which they butchered, he's barely in the Peacock version) and Sandler's tribute to Farley. Also watched the episode after 9/11, was amazed at how political parties seemed to be...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Yeah, EoK was designed to be done for a while (think it still might have the record for amount of AAs in an expansion). RoS is for 106-110 but expects you to have EoK gear. Burning Lands is actually a surprisingly great expansion with some interesting content, but it's basically for just 110...

    When I played live, Gribbles missions were the best EXP until like...EoK maybe? So people did those nonstop for like 3 years. One of the things that made me quit. Those missions are so incredibly dull, not to mention pretty fugly.

    Yeah I finished the FF4 3D and After Years 3D versions on phone last year, beat Proto-Babil in 4 and beat the 3 Lunar eidolons in AY. Only played the PSP versions once years ago and don't remember either of them having any particular superbosses. Far as I know PSP AY has the same stuff as Wii...

    Aside from the terrible framerate, this is pretty awesome and I'd love to see EQ actually get some sort of visual overhaul like this. In 2006 we got a bunch of zones overhauled (the desert, commons, Innothule, etc) and I don't see why it can't happen again. "No! That costs money!" said DPG when...

    In retrospect the FF8 leveling system was kind of hilarious to me, because in school I knew a bunch of kids who powerleveled in FF7 (getting to like level 99 before the final fight, getting all of the materia maxed out outside Junon, etc). They'd just trivialize the game with their grinding...

    I must have missed when that happened. I did watch some episodes distracted. Some time soon I'm gonna rewatch the whole thing un-distracted. Still wondering why people hated episode 8 though. I do expect this show to pull a Westworld and get woke and shitty later on, but I hope not. Seems like...

    Anyone know what this is? It's from "FF4: The Complete Collection" on PSP.

Don't remember it really having anything that wasn't in the original game either, unless it had...

    How does this Grok dipshit get anyone to join his guilds? Regularly kicking people he doesn't like and snapping on people for jokes is douche behavior. lol, the impression I get is that Lockjaw was both a hoot and a huge shitshow.

    RI and TEB teaming up or something? Should call the guild the Anti-Zaide Brigade. Not that I know of, but if anyone missed it, it won't let you reserve a name unless you have 200 days played with that exact name. So no reserving other people's names just because yours has 200 days. In other...

    Was wondering if I should play Nier Replicant and Nier Automata before this, since it's a spiritual Nier 3 and I never played either of those. However, since there's no real time for that and no story connection, I'll most likely just jump to Stellar Blade and play the Niers at some later date.

    "Communist is just a bad word they call the people who aren't insane" Man, even the good shows have numerous little snippets of ideological propaganda slipping in. It isn't the 1960's. In the modern era "fascist" seems to be much more frequently deployed against people who aren't insane /...

    Alright, Enclave was the one I was most uncertain about. So they blew everything up on purpose to rebuild it after, makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing that's why Goggins dislikes those corporations so much, he realized when he was serving in the military that something was rotten in Denmark...
