    Doubtful. Celebrities, the wealthy, etc don't have to follow the same rule as the peasantry.

    Stellaris

    Stellaris is really healthy right now and it's one of the best 4X games around. I think quite a lot of the DLC is worthwhile if you enjoy the game.

    I don't think watching two screens at once is a very good idea. It noticably impaired my sons ability to focus/pay attention to anything back when I was allowing it.

    This show was ultimately quite boring.. A little disappointing, although I never expected too much given how hard I believe it is to translate this novel series onto the screen.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    This is a great one despite the fact that Joe is really out of his depth with these guys. I cringed a bunch of times at the stupid shit he was saying to them but it was still a wonderful and enlightening episode.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Delubrum is next which is even more punishing. I feel like I cast 20 revives on the hot/cold boss alone in my run earlier today.

    Skyrim

    Updated, expected an absolute shitshow trying to get it running again with the 50-60 mods I have installed. Was surprisingly easy.. Installed the new SKSE which is already available, and then had to remove the mod "(Part 1) Engine Fixes" which the authors seem to say is not going to be updated...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I think 1572 (Moxie Marlinspike) is my favourite of the last 2 years but 1728 is definitely a top shelf one. Very entertaining from start to finish.

    It's not necessarily that they've watched squid games. Kids games such as roblox as well as youtube/tiktok channels aimed at kids are overrun with squid games themed stuff especially the red light/green light game. My son definitely hasn't seen squid games but he knows all about red light/green...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Heavenward was great for this. My favourite is Nidhogg extreme. That is one fight where you really feel like he is throwing everything including the kitchen sink at you. His transition/ultimate is the best looking and sounding ultimate I've seen in the game so far. I liked it so much I duty...

    The music in this game is pretty damn good. I was enjoying the Rak'tika zone song so much I was getting super annoyed by my mount music turning it off. So much so I tried to research a mount that doesn't have music and couldn't find one.. then I thought maybe there is a way to disable mount...

    Dune (2020)

    Excellent movie, very Villeneuve. Wonderful visuals, managed to tell the story at a pretty fast pace while still being easy to follow. I can easily believe there is a 6 hour cut out there. Cast was all solid and from memory it seemed extremely faithful to the book. Looking forward to part 2...

    I have recently party findered all of the ARR, Heavensward and Stormblood 8 and 24 man raids and the only one which wasn't extremely pushover easy was Twintania (Bahamuts Coil Turn 5). Most of the ARR and HW ones are pretty dull but the Omega fights are almost all a lot of fun and Ivalice has...

    I don't bother replacing my equipment with levelling dungeon stuff, I turn all of that into GC seals. When I came back a few months ago having left during ARR, I have used poetic equipment for the whole tier until I could get the new tier poetic gear. Right now my main jobs are all 80 wearing...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Wall encountered. With full white scrip crafting gear you can easily make Aesthete's and their components with about 90% HQ rate just using macros. Probably 100% if you manual but I CBF. But to craft Exarchic you don't have enough control, so I am working on an Aesthete's set. I'm not willing to...

    The show is not really representing the books. I would say 90% of the subplots and even some of the main characters are made up for the show. The only connection to the books are the names of some of the characters, and the main setting / overarching plot (foundation, empire, psychohistory etc)...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I guess I will figure that out soon! I have full white scrip gear on my harvesters, it's enough to get +2 pick clean on normal l60 harvestables, max collectability on l60 harvestables in 2.5 swings. Only +1 pick clean on dolomite etc, so there is some value on trying to max out the gear I...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I finally got all of my DOH/L classes to 80, started looking at crafting high end gear for them... and it seems pointless? The white scrip equipment is better than crafted and requires less scrips! I guess crafted gear is only relevant earlier in the xpac before they patched in the high tier...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I don't even remember what classes I played for poe1/2. Seconding the recommendation for Tyranny, that game was a lot of fun even though it was clearly incomplete.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Ignoring DOS1/2 since I haven't played those, I'd recommend POE1 then 2. They are both really good, whereas Tides of Numenara is a bit of a mess. I've tried re-playing some of the older ones in the last few years and it's fairly hard going.

    That space jews line went down like a ton of bricks.. Dave seemed surprised at the audience reaction.. That in itself was funny to me. The whole special was excellent, Dave is a very insightful comedian. Love that he added some clunkers into this special too which is a little unusual for him...

    Looks like most of the tanks got a l90 off GCD ae. For GNB which is the only tank I play, minimal changes.. Looks like they've stacked the cartridge spending combo into one skill so instead of pressing 123 for the combo you just press 111, same way continuation works. Also added a continuation...

    This is pretty intense and Gyllenhaal did a good job portraying a guy who's not coping with life. Haven't seen the original.

    You either haven't watched any TV in the last decade, or you don't know what the word expect means, if you expect a show in 2021 to have an all male cast.

    I think you have to expect gender swapping in a TV adaptation in this day and age. It's been a few decades since I read it but as far as I recall all of the main characters in the novels are male. Gaal was also male in the book.

    I watched all of S3, but it wasn't easy. The whole season is fairly miserable compared to s1-2.. Just un fun.. Way way too much 'cops are bad' shit. There are some interesting storylines in there like the la fiera stuff but over all, I don't think I'll watch s4.. Although maybe it will be better...

    We travelled extensively when my son was that small and never did any special arrangements for his sleeping. He'd sleep with us, or on a second bed in hotel rooms, or on whatever spare mattress/pullout bed the hotels had available. I'm of the opinion that trying to keep little kids environment...

    Being unfinished and buggy messes are pretty much a signature of games by obsidian and their predecessor black isle. Think fallout 1/2, two of the most loved games ever. Both were impossible to finish for most players due to how buggy they were. More recently Tyranny, a great game even though...

    Well KOTOR2 wasn't made by bioware it was made by Obsidian who are still making pretty good games to this day. I'm not making any comment about how good a remake might be but Bioware outsourcing it is probably good news. Since the company that's doing it 'Aspyr' was somehow involved in the...
