    I do remember it, but never played Dragonrealms. Great memories of Gemstone 3 back in the mid to late 90s.

    Star Trek: Picard

    I HATE Agnes. What a terribly unlikeable character. Even more so than the rest of the cast. Second episode was only bearable. Starting to go down the shitter fast. Hilarious that it only took racism to defeat the Borg.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Of all the Souls games I never played a caster. Only melee with a big ass shield. A friend, who has never played a Souls game, picked up Elden Ring and is insisting on playing a caster. My feeling is that casters are playing the game on hard(er) mode. Am I correct?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, this. I've played all the Souls games so I'm very familiar with poise and stamina. I'll have full stamina, yet a boss's physical attack will sometimes land hard. It feels like they are hitting around or over/under the shield. Things happen so quickly it's hard to exactly see. Also...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I feel like some enemies (namely bosses) are hitting through my shield. Is it due to a special non-blockable attack or are they hitting OVER or UNDER my shield? Just wondering if switching to a big ass tower shield would make a difference there.

    Not at the time, but I do now. I have Google Authenticator set for everything. Regardless, if the user had attempted to log into my account through normal means an email would have been sent to me informing me that access was being attempted from a unknown IP address as well as a SMS text...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I've been with them for over 2 years and never had a problem either. May just be a matter of time? Or some recent vulnerability has cropped up. I'm wondering if that log4j issue could be a vector of attack? I see Vmware posted a critical security warning regarding that.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    A word of caution to those who have Coinbase accounts: I am fairly certain these guys have some kind of security hole in their system. As some may recall, I had my entire Coinbase assets sold and transferred out of my account without my approval. I had two-factor authentication setup for both...

    I wouldn't say it feels like classic Trek, but more like movie-Trek (Generations, First Contact, etc.)

    I haven't played much into the expansion, but apparently there's a lot of woke bullshit thrown at you.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Just began a new project working on something totally alien to me. It's a customized GL.iNet MiFi device (a 4G LTE to WiFi router type thingy). These run a custom OpenWRT O/S. Up to this point there has only been one developer (the creator) working on it. It's using LUA as it's scripting...

    Has there been any talk of balance changes? Wondering if there are going to be any nerfs, specifically to those Torment runes.

    Lucifer

    I stopped watching this after it went to Netflix. I never felt this was that great of a series. Don't get me wrong, Tom Ellis was perfect in the role, but it was yet another police procedural BUT! the side kick is Satan. He never really used any powers other than "What do you really want?" or...

    What the hell is up with character deletion in this game? It's been in "Character Deletion Pending" for like 2 days now.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I received emails when *I* accessed my Coinbase account (remember, I said I hadn't logged in in a few months so you have to go through the usual routine of confirmation). If someone ELSE logged into my account then logically those same emails should've went out, but they didn't. I received a...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    But here's the thing, when I went to access my Coinbase account emails WERE sent to my email address. I even looked at my email account activity history and see nothing about having been logged in on some other system. So it doesn't look like they had access to my email account. I could...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Doesnt' sound like there's much I can do. The Reddit group is saying that I probably had a "sim-swap" done on me, but still none of this makes sense when you couple that with the total lack of email notifications. Also being lambasted for not using proper security. I had 2FA enabled but...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    So, this isn't making sense to me. I got a response stating that $1500 worth of Dogecoin was send out of my acccount. 1) I didn't have anywhere near that amount of Doge. So someone converted one crypto to anoither and I never received any 2FA authorization for this. 2) If someone logged in...

    Did some hax0r shit go down with Coinbase? I got a notification a few moments ago about an ETH purchase. I have 2-factor authentication enabled, so I was able to freeze this transaction. HOWEVER, once changing my password and logging into my account I can see my account balance is WAY the fuck...

    Well, the feeling is that all economists were predicting a bad report. Even the White House itself apparently sent out a warning prevously? Then whamo, they beat all expectations by a huge margin? Something is rotten.
