That's a pretty good lineup. So 1998 vs 2000 vs 2023, who wins objectively? It's probably more like 30 games a year so you're off by 270, but whatever. I don't know why I'm getting Stormveil requests. I'm at endgame / NG+ level, haven't leveled much since I first beat the game. I think it's...

Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Xenogears. What else? I fired up Elden Ring this evening to put on a summon sign and help a few people with boss fights. Were people always this inept at the game? I keep getting summoned to Stormveil Castle to help different people who tend to run around...

Interesting, so that droning sound is the normal field theme maybe? Reminds me of Secret of Evermore on the SNES, which would often have menacing droning ambiance in dangerous locations instead of music. At least FF16 has music at all. I seem to remember FF15 having a lot of areas with no music...

Personal rankings of the best video game soundtracks (that I've heard) #1 - Chrono Cross #2 - Xenogears #3 - Chrono Trigger #4 - Vagrant Story #5 - Secret of Mana #6 - Tobal No. 1 #7 - Mega Man 2 #8 - Secret of Evermore #9 - Final Fantasy Tactics #10 - Super Metroid Fun fact: The top 3 were...

This has happened to me many times. EQ camp going on too long, post complaining, there it is. Or other games, can't beat a boss? Complain to people in the heat of the moment about how much I hate this game now, win on the next try, then have to retract my previous opinion.

Very well said. Dennis Miller is another one who comes to mind. I forgot how many comedians lean right because the last few years it's been such a rite of passage that they have to all be outwardly left to fit in with the "comedian community" and still get roles in all of the stupid ensemble...

I also got the low ominous drone in Moore, thought it was kind of weird music for the game. Even considered for a second that the game was glitching or something. Then decided the low ominous drone actually wasn't bad on the ears and just left the sound on. It was different. I did both the...

I think historically they leaned left a bit, but were also based and sensible. At least that's the vibe I get from Sandler. Nowayears they might all be leaning right, I don't know. Chris Rock - Left-ish but also frequently thinks they're full of crap Rob Schneider - Fully switched teams to red...

I like Da Bomb. Not even sure what it tastes like because all I get is heat. If I want a good heat punch I'll put a couple of drops of that on some food. I probably do this 2x a year and it serves its purpose. Last Dab (Scorpion version) is significantly less hot, and tastes better. Has a lot...

I also get that feeling from different EQ zones/memories, but not from going back to them on TLP unfortunately. All of this was from Live in the 2000's: -Sunderrock Springs in TSS. Ambience, music, the scenery and Southwest US Navajo vibe to all of it. Remember sitting there listening to that...

Did the two Moore side quests. Man, this Branded stuff is kind of nightmarish.

Birthday is celebrating a birth, not a conception. We don't have a conception day. I think pretty much everyone had to play FF Tactics twice because Velius kicked their ass. The fact that the game lets you save right before the fight (so you can't leave) almost felt malicious by design. They...

Ask her if she wants to dress up as that character next time you do it. Like offer to get her the blue dress and everything. Back in 2016 or so I remember being a bit enamored by Margot Robbie Harley Quinn (the first movie she was in, before it got played out) and her hot little outfit, and next...

I thought that was Anna Jay for a second, sure looks like her, but I'm pretty sure she didn't do track. So your guess is as good as mine

2000, my previous winner for total good game releases, also had a lot of sequels. Suikoden 2, Wild Arms 2, Chrono Cross (more or less Trigger 2), Final Fantasy 9, and so on. When so much of the new stuff is so bad, breathing new life into the old stuff that actually meant something to us is...

Balthier was a great protagonist who should have been main. He reminded me of Spike from Buffy. Lulu's personalities were great, I'd love to motorboat those personalities. FF6's characters really were great. Most Japanese game protagonists drive me nuts, especially where "love interests" are...

I've got another one: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. This game is a horse's ass. FFT on PS1 is one of my favorite games, so I was super stoked to get ahold of FFTA. Took me years to get around to it but when I finally did I couldn't have been more excited. Then within an hour of starting it up I...

I've done the NYC to Boston (and vice versa) drive about a dozen times and it's crazy how much people suck at driving along that entire route. On I-95 people drive like they're trying really hard to die. For instance, going 110!

Between this and FF6 Tactics... just get rid of the dev companies and let fans create everything from now on with dev resources. Somehow. Just found out someone's making a Mega Man: The Wily Wars 2 (Sega Genesis remake of the NES classics) that includes MM4/5/6. And they're pretty far along...

@DickTrickle Why picard? We've got one vote for Tides! I'm okay with hearing something good about it, because it's still "on the list" for my CRPGs and I'm going to at least give it a shot. Would be great if I found something to like. I'll often end up liking unpopular things and disliking...

She sounds cute. Pleasant voice. Good listen.

No idea about Mischief specifics or minis, but the easiest way to get a globe is to take out Ture and Hanvar. Neither fight poses much of a challenge at 80 compared to the other bosses in there. That'll get you one (every five days?) and after that try Keldovan+Jelvan and Vangl. If it's a real...

Another short and accurate bit from whoever this is.

Damn, I've always hated Kevin James' guts for some reason, but now I'll have to revise that. I think I had "stepdad you hate" syndrome with him because he kind of replaced Chris Farley in the "Sandler crew" and Farley is basically irreplaceable, much less by a giant talentless turd like Kevin...

I know there's an actual reason for it being worded this way, but (for the hearing impaired) always rustles my jimmies. Maybe I just like watching things with subtitles to make it easier to follow along, especially if I've got an AC going or something. If there's only one English subtitle option...

What's up with CPAPs, they help with breathing while sleeping? I sleep horrendously bad and often have breathing issues (nose stops working when I lay down). She's got full health coverage.

Tides of Numenera being so bad is a bummer. I talked about this on the CRPG thread, but when I worked at Gamestop I knew so many people who were STOKED for that game, and watched them all get really bummed within a couple days of getting it. Also sad to hear Star Ocean went off a cliff. Never...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/175747403532 Jeepers! Not that far from that life-sized animatronic version of this now. As long as they can keep the chance of it murdering you under 10%, it'll sell like hotcakes!

I don't understand* why child trafficking is such a subject that the mainstream (Oscars etc) doesn't want anything to do with. Mostly only seeing right-leaning outlets even talking about it. Seems concern about it should be a pretty universal thing rather than a partisan political thing. * -...

This thing is doing worse than Flash? Cool, maybe next time they bring back a beloved legacy character, don't make it a movie that "deconstructs" him to prop up a younger replacement who is better at everything.

I think Grusch is legitimate. He was just hesitant and had weird body language on a couple of things which gave me the impression he didn't actually know all of the answers, and was supplying secondhand info on some of them. None of that means he's illegitimate though. All of this is very...

I'll need to check it out. Glad London is getting some respect as a wrestling city finally. So many cities internationally that would do incredible business for wrestling if anyone would give them a shot.

EQ is full of useful skill-teaching. Three examples: -I always led my own groups in EQ (live) while leveling. Always. Not only did I assemble them myself, I'd also direct traffic. Was always a monk on live, and being puller gives me an advantage for traffic-directing. Was able to lead groups...

"What's a Paladin?" is such a hilarious memory. Did she turn into a whore with you, at least? Good to find someone else who has beef with that game like I do. It's too long, too tedious, and just doesn't have much redeeming about it. I think the low camera angle was the biggest issue, cause...

Yeah, like...wot? Like I said before, raise the potion cap by 2x or 3x and don't refill potions on death. Can keep the checkpoints, whatever, but take away death being an advantage.

Funny, I actually know a guy who spends a fair bit of his sundays painting miniatures and had to make sure his wife accepted it. In any case, you're right that it's better to discuss these things upfront. Most people hide their proclivities, either because they think they'll be judged for the...

Top guild on Vulak... was that EoE? I think Faceless was also on there but wasn't big yet IIRC. Fippy is the one I mostly hear about since it had TL/AoS, Citizen/OGC, etc.

I know what you mean, PSP spinoffs of AAA games tended to be big downgrades from their main serieses, and not even worth it for completionism. I stopped worrying about them after a while. I could probably put "all DS games" on here in the same vein. I really didn't like the DS. So much stylus...

I've had a suspicion from the get-go that you the player would turn out to be the bad guy or something in the overall game. I hope they have the balls to follow through. Has any RPG done anything like that?

I'll never get all that "how do I get my wife to do X" stuff that's all over the internet. Always makes me wonder why they married someone who isn't into their main thing. Usually it's a three-way or buttsex or something. I know people have other priorities and lots of other things can draw you...
