    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    It wasn't about vanilla hide/sneak. You got access to 75%(?) of the AA up to like the 10th Xpac, at level 1 (the rest were unlocked by or at 60). They gave each class some AA in order to smooth out the leveling and make them more appealing to pick. Some classes like rogues and bards got the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Oh, lol. I get all the BMW model numbers mixed up and have to look them up every time they are brought up. So I only looked up a picture of a 2025 M2 and saw that it looked nice. I remember people saying they kept a few models with the classic-ish style, but I was thinking that was just the Z.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It looks like BMW is back into the nice looking cars business. Was the last generation of the ugliest grill ever put on a vehicle the shortest generation?

    This one might be a bit iffy for the face, but the wall comes at you fast when you're a junky. She is the Russian roulette of "I can fix her" and one guy pulled the trigger too many times.

    The whole clip is a joke to set up the punchline at the end, not to showcase anything about the show, exactly.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Ah, no idea. I took both your posts together as "no, how is it actually possible to get around Truebox." I've never played Daybreak's EQ, so don't even know what Truebox is exactly, just that (using context) it is obviously an automated multibox detection & prevention.

    There are ways to get around automated detection, like using a VPN to set up multiple computers or sandboxes. All depends on how much the botter or whale wants to spend.

    After not using a controller for long enough, it's hard to marathon a game for as long of a time with it. So if there is something like a gaming weekend planned, ones hands can get fatigued faster than the rest of the body. Not to mention needing to buy a controller for 1 game every 5 years or...

    The Bear

    I didn't hate last season, like a lot of people here seemed to, but this season is certainly sounding worse; making for zero motivation to start it up. I agree that it doesn't look like they had any idea what to really do after season 1 where it didn't get soap opera-e, cliché, or have it look...

    I haven't used a controller in 10+ years. I'm also not a huge fanboy for the game or the action/rpg-lite genre, but it was worth the time/money. I'd rate it on par with GTA5 and played it as such, where I skipped most of the busy work and focused on the story based missions. It has branching...

    Distant Worlds 2

    I ended up going back and playing the first game (Distant Worlds: Universe) with THIS mod instead. Now that you bumped this thread, reminding me it exists, and it's been some years, I was thinking of trying 2 again. Both of them are fairly different than Stellaris. The first game had 2 or 3...

    Supposed story: Thief tried using a drill to put a hole in the tank, to steal the gas, instead of trying to bypass the anti-syphoning and/or gas tank door lock. Dunno what country, but I've not heard of this before just to get gas:

    Correct, pick any 3 classes and get everything they get, including up to 3 pets/dire charms and a bunch of AA that are not xpac locked. Gear has uber stats w/ quality levels and XP is boosted. They even put in a catch-up mechanic for AA xp to level up alts faster. An almost perfect solo EQ...

    Disclaimer: I'm not big into the grind of survival games, so I left the difficulty on default. Couple notes with mechanics/resources, no story spoilers (I completed the game with plenty of time): While I don't think I want to replay the mechanics side of the game again, there are certainly some...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Yeah, I would never have played THJ if it cost money, there are too many other "new" games to play, if I am going to spend money (I haven't spent money on an MMO in ~10 years). If I want nostalgia, I can go play a plethora of old games I already own for free.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    I would guess THJ will still be up for a month or more(?) while it gets processed through the courts, as the legal system isn't known for it's speed. So there is probably time to play through the Xpacs up to PoP. Disclaimer: I've never payed attention to EMUs before, so maybe shit will move...

    Broken Arrow

    They are supposedly going to put in mid-mission saves and tweak the UI. The Worth A Buy guy might be right, in that this needs another 3 to 6 months. Still, he said he really likes the game, but no saves on a 1-2 hour mission is just too much.

    The Expanse: Osiris Reborn by Owlcat Games

    Yes, unless the game takes place over the course of many years (show seasons), it looks the game will all take place between Earth, Mars, and the Belt (including Saturn/Jupiter moons). In the interview they said that the game will take place (or at least start) around the time of the Eros...

    Summer 2025 Anime Thread

    Outside of Frieren, I don't think I have watched an Anime made in the last 10 years; so no idea what all those are about. For the classics like Bebop, which had wide appeal and should still hold up animation wise, here are a couple more: Ghost in the Shell (movie and TV show) - Cyberpunk that...

    Depends on the game and how the mods are set up with Steam. If buying from GoG it's also the best place to get mods. Some modders don't like Steam Workshop, so they will use Nexus instead.

    Of course, that's the funny part of it. All gaming "journalism" is shill bullshit, but only PCGamer is trying to tell people nothing will change. The other articles I skimmed didn't even mention what various users had dug up on the new owners. Most people around here should be able to read...

    Watchmen (2009)

    While the movie is in my top 5 of comic book movies, I thought the TV show was mediocre at best. I don't care about comic books though, so the whole squid cannon did nothing for me and the new characters were meh.

    Amazon Prime Video Thread

    Prime is a bit scammy and is made for impatient/undisciplined people. If you order over $35 in one order almost everything is "free" shipping anyway. So if it's less than $35, just leave it in the cart until you need something else. The scammy part is that vendors often mark up their products to...

    Last I looked, some years ago, the effective adblocking for Apple products cost money. I don't remember if it's a subscription or one time fee. I think they are whole device blockers. You could always run an HDMI from your PC to your main TV, then clone the second monitor onto that TV. There...

    Looks like they are aiming for 1.6 being released mid July. It's implied that the xpac will release at the same time? If so, that's a much shorter time period between announcement and release of the last DLC?

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Going from old memories, they probably over girl bossed Uhura and maybe the navigator a bit, but the cast is all pretty likeable. Unlike Discovery, I can't recall them taking a cry time-out or even when any of them cried at all (maybe a few of the war or war memory episodes?).

    So in the Lasagna you make you just toss in some plain bechamel sauce and not turn it into a mornay sauce? I mean I see that on THIS video (Italia Squisita), but I don't see how it would be better than Ricotta. Otherwise that seems just like the Ziti recipe from Chef Jean-Pierre: The recipe...

    Wat? They have the exact same ingredients (w/ a different type of noodle), you just don't have to spend nearly as much time on layering. Since it takes less time it turns it from a special occasion meal into a regular rotation meal.
