    There a good place to get a bidet type deal on credit/financing (just want a seat, not an entire Japanese super-toilet)? Was looking it up and there are a few Toto showrooms around, and I'm fine with $1200 for a Toto seat if it's the best thing I can get. This is one thing one shouldn't skimp...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I haven't had that issue at all, I just make note of what paths I haven't been to yet or where there's a boss I haven't beaten and make sure I cover everything. Course I'm also only like... 30 or 40% of the way through the game so there's plenty of time to get completely confused. If all else...

    That sounds pretty good. Europe has all the good stuff readily available but I don't live there and customs are a thing, so... Feeling rough physically this year in particular (turning 40 is even more of a bitch when you spent your 20's and some of your 30's beating yourself up) so I've been...

    Interesting list. Baldur's Gate 2 is a little far from the top for my liking, but I've only played a few of these so it isn't like I could do a better list.

    It was made by the Terminator Resistance people, and they did a fantastic job with both games. TR is basically a sequel to the first two Terminator movies and RRC is basically a sequel to the first Robocop. So they set their games at just the right points in time. I liked TR more due to having...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Doesn't ketamine stay in your system / keep you high for like 4 weeks though? I'd like to try it, but I can't be all buzzed for weeks. Have to be able to drive and stuff. Also have no idea what to say to a doctor to even get such a thing. It sounds pretty awesome though and since I'm gonna...

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    This all sounds like a very good advertisement for playing Druid over Cleric. The QOL would be exponentially better at this point in the game. Only problem is that at max level (which is most of the game) the cleric would be exponentially more needed and sought-after. I've never done either, if...

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    What does this sword end up at for delay with the haste factored in? 30/45 is eh outside of the haste. I'm guessing the haste is the same type of haste as FBSS or CoF. What would really make Monsoon good is if the haste was a song. First two-hander I usually get with a 1:1 ratio is Reaver, and...

    I've noticed this a lot for like a decade now. Even young adults do it. They'll walk up to you and start having a conversation at you while you aren't even looking at them, or are talking to someone else. It's truly bizarre. It happened especially often when I ran a Gamestop years and years ago...

    I'd say the same thing (that Khan should have kept Punk around and figured something out) but he didn't want to be there, he was ready to go off half-cocked, and he saw himself as above everybody when he was in AEW. If he was kept around he would have had more problems and ultimately other...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    I have a tendency to have trouble with bosses that other people don't, and have no trouble with other bosses that people complain about. I beat Laxasia without much trouble, took 3 tries but I got her down to like 5% health (if that) on the first go. Second go I flubbed and only got her to about...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The complete lack of a Game Awards trailer was worrying. From trailers became a sort of "main event" on those shows over the years, with 2019 being the only time they didn't have a new trailer (because ER was too far away). So no trailer... I don't know, this could be a ways off. Maybe they...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Samurai is pretty good, and the only thing I'd choose besides Wretch (though I could see someone making a case for Astrologer to be a "real caster" right away) Samurai starts with an Uchi, meaning it's the only class that can dual wield and powerstance Uchis. The one Uchi in the actual game...

    Civil War (2024)

    If the US fell into a civil war, China and Russia would be too busy taking out all of their adversaries to possibly bother with us. Russia would be fighting France, UK, Germany, etc over Eastern Europe, while China would be fighting Taiwan, South Korea, Japan. Somebody would annex Mongolia...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    This, Why Files is always good. This particular video is about the Book of Enoch and all of the Great Flood stories, which is one of his favorite topics to get into. At the end of the videos he debunks everything that can be debunked so you're never left believing things that are off-base.

    And then there's Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth right before the end of January. Kind of an embarrassment of riches TBH. I'm gonna make some room for Infinite Wealth, FF7, and the Elden Ring DLC but I don't know if I have room for anything else. If the DLC is a no-show, then Persona 3.

    What part do you disagree with? ...all of it? Glad I'm not the only one who isn't crazy about GTA4. Well, a friend of mine who is a GTA fanatic decided to help me finish the game since he's hyped about GTA6 stuff, so we're gonna have a few Saturday game sessions and try to finish the game...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Not convinced that there's anything to this. It's basically just a controller collaboration dropping on the anniversary of the game, doesn't mean SotE is dropping at the same time. It the controller is itself an SotE controller it could also be generating hype for later in the year. We don't...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I totally agree with you. Human capacity for mass hysteria, mass illusion, mass belief in something that isn't actually happening knows no bounds and it's been well documented. We just saw millions of people put a drug dealer who had an overdose death onto a Jesus-like pedestal while raging...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Next stop is to do the Grand Slam achievement for Convorteum in-era. And later on, beat UEE in-era. I'm certain you could pull both of those off. Keys don't really factor in in either case to detract from the achievements. They've still both only been done once to my knowledge, and both late in...

    Bloodstained is tremendous. It single-handedly got me back into Metroidvania style games. I fell out with them for a while but now they're my 2nd favorite genre behind Soulslikes. If I can find something that combines the two (Salt and Sanctuary for one) it's a magical thing. Just got...

    Yeah, I had to resort to spamming emotes to get through that. Totally mind-boggling that they put that section right after 3 other sections since the last checkpoint. The spring section was also pretty bad, and it had 2 sections before it that had to be repeated every time you fell. Just meh all...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    I'm taking a break from it since I got to Genichiro (and gave him the one try as a fun test run). Got too much going on between now and the new year, so I might not resume it until then. Hopefully my ability to play doesn't atrophy in the meantime (it shouldn't, not in that short a span).

    Did you do a CT dungeon crawl? I remember doing something like that at level 40ish (I think) back in 2000, trying to get the Ravenscale armors in my failed run as a rogue. It took a whole evening and replacing group members as people left, but I got every piece of Ravenscale. It's probably my...

    So phase 2 is the real battle? Lightning countering looks really fun in videos so I hope I get it down. Wo Long taught me parrying and made me a lot more competent for this game, but you can get through most of Wo Long using the same strategies for every boss fight. Being able to level up also...

    Mario Wonder's very last level (after 100%ing the rest of the game) has to be the hardest level in Mario history. Mostly because it's super long and they went stingy on checkpoints.

    "Secreting waste through their pores (the way we sweat)" is interesting because I've read similar things in other places. Most notably, I think the Varghina alien was doing that (secreting some kind of waste) and it gave off a strong ammonia smell according to the witnesses. That is, if I'm...
