    Goodbye Earth

    Searching for a Friend for the End of the World is probably the best movie or show on this topic. But basically, if the world knew it would be complete chaos before Giant Meteor came down to take the oath of office, at least in the cities. Just take a look at how Katrina played out for a good...

    Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)

    First one was a masterpiece that pretty much came from out of nowhere. I am willing to give this one a go. Trailer looks unique and sort of gives me Brazil vibes mixed with All that Jazz for the performance parts. I will take a musical exploration of society glorifying insanity over the...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    This. This game was DOA even before it ever left the planning phase simply because of the parties involved in its development.

    3 Body Problem

    Time stamped the relevant part. He is basically talking about the expansion of the universe changing. The only extra wrinkle in there is the concept of space time bubbles which are pure theory for the most part. I am explaining it in simpler terms. I can pull sources but it appears you are...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Alloy was an attractive ginger in the first game. They went out of their way to darken her hair and derp up her appearance. Same thing with Gigantor in TLoU 2, if you saw the actress she was supposedly modeled after. And then they went back and uggoed up Ellie and a bunch of other characters...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Not really, unless you are going to say I am a homophobe for wanting to watch a half naked chick beat the shit out of things instead of staring at man ass in games like Dragons Dogma or similar as my free time escapist entertainment. And the other part is as Vorph touched on the quality of the...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    A long fucking game with a mostly silent protagonist and no woke shit, I am gonna play a female avatar so I dont have to stare at man ass all 100 hours of the fucking game. First person actively voice acted protagonist? Yeah probably going to go with something I can identify with. There are...

    3 Body Problem

    Think of it in these terms. We know we are moving away from the center of the universe and have been for a while. Whats more, there are galactic clusters moving from it in all vectors from the center and we are only able to observe the ones moving our general direction because of this. Here...

    3 Body Problem

    I don't know if this is true. The effort to make another planet, even one with very close parameters to ours, remotely colonizable is very difficult. I mean our own species runs into fertility issues just by moving to higher altitudes on the surface. Slight variations in gravity, radiation...

    3 Body Problem

    Relativistic speeds greater than c exist. It is why the sky is mostly black at night. In an infinite universe with infinite stars every single millimeter of the sky would be bright white. But because we are moving away from most of the observable universe at a combined value greater than C...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    That aggregator of shit they are involved in is the first thing I got from Steam in years. Totally worth it. Every game they have been even slightly involved in has been a giant shitpile with woke garbage crammed in.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Four Kings is just a DPS test. If you can burn down the spawns fast enough so you are not fighting multiples, you win, period end of sentence. O and S is tricky with the pair and timing, especially if you are trying to get the Ornstein drop from the fight. Plus when the game community is...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I do the same thing in Heide Tower for XP and also for the materials. Plus thats an area I typically use a reset item on because its not that much harder in NG+ and the second time drops from it are pretty nice. The dragon is actually fairly easy if you get in close and know to run away when...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    DS2 is really two games. The base parts, everything gets raped by dark magic and lightning. The expansions, most shit is very resistant to magic but is somewhat vulnerable to one of the physical damage types. Also remember that DS2 has mobs go extinct if you kill them enough times (unless you...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The Eternal Wakestone is a res entire town item, probably meant as an out if you let the plague go off. You can also get a working copy from the forgery guy, but its stupidly expensive. My advice on the Sphinx quest for casuals is to do the two easy ones that give you a port crystal and allow...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I know you are edge lording, but the core story idea is interesting and the main play loop of exploring while farming up levels/stuff is very satisfying. The difficulty fall off (especially if you main a sorcerer or mystic knight) is probably the biggest issue, with the end game being too brief...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Dark Arisen is a long playthrough, because its the base game with the Everfall farm loop and two deep runs to the bottom of Bitterrock Isle. Even if you know exactly what to do, its a pretty long play. This also presumes you don't get turbofucked by a Grim Reaper appearance at the wrong time...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Finished it. Overall liked it and if the inevitable DLC is on par with Dark Arisen this is an all time great game.... BUT... As of now, the most fun part of the game is an endgame on a limited timer. And sadly the timer does not matter, because if you are even moderately prepared you will...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I treated this like the first game, basically farming mobs with shit XP when leveling vocations and earning most of my levels as my preferred stat gain class. For my mele based pawn, that meant maxing all the non spell using vocations then spending nearly all of her leveling time as a warrior...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    He had his whole leveling up side quest montage as the B story. Zilla really only works for fights (the Coliseum bed was a nice joke though) and has always worked best as a force of nature the protagonists have to work around somehow (see Minus 1), while kong has actual emotional reactions so...

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

    Automation is the new buzz word for useless managers to jerk off over when they read about it in Sky Mall Magazine. It CAN be tremendously beneficial, if you use proper planning and invest sufficiently into it. The issue is every company wants the end results and to say they are using "machine...

    Guess ill just stop coming here for a few days, happy april fools amod

    I erroneously assumed that the prank was giving everyone enough tucobucks to give out gaming weekends to everyone so that total chaos would ensue. I think that would have been a lot funnier, personally. But I guess two days of ghost town around here with the parachuters and Brosyar operating...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Three things that would make this game better: 1- Eternal Ferrystone- The current money grind is bad enough without having to mush drakes to replenish these end game. I get it exploration is fun and great for leveling and farming mats, but once you have done the desert town to capitol trek 4-5...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The sphinx quest is a classic capcom "buy our cheat guide" quest. There is no fucking way anyone could get the answers on their own. Also the Dragon disease thing is a big mega fuck you.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Major cities or quest locations you have to port back to, especially if it saves you hours of foot travel. The main desert town and the Sphinx cave are good choices.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    My friend was over using out 3d print lab watching me play and laughed his ass off at this death. I am rolling with a sorcerer. Fucking Mino attack in the middle of the night, He launches me nearly one shotting me. I run like a raped ape to get clear and heal and some random goblin that never...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    You are a retard who has clearly not played the game. I am actively playing it this weekend. Here are the facts, at least at the point in the game I am at. You can buy Wake Stones (waste of money), Rift Crystals (even more of a waste), and a one time starter pack thing in the store. Nothing...

    The Acolyte

    One scene (and there were other really good ones) does not justify sitting through hours of boring shit. Echo has the same problem, with having to sit through deaf magical squaw ninja just to get to the Kingpin parts. The fact that this is going to be super saiyen lesbian woke makes it even worse.

    The Acolyte

    Andor was good for a total of about an episode and a half's time over its run. It was boring as fuck the entire rest of the season. The Imperials were actually the most interesting part of the show. Or did everyone forget three episodes of droid making prison? It wasn't woke and did not shit...

    Lets see if you can figure out why you are retarded with this statement. In the meantime, go back to watching BBC shows that make Made For Netflix memes look tame in comparison.

    JRPGs

    There is a lot of rock paper scissors matchup elements in it, with specific units being strong against certain enemies but weak against others. Also there is a stamina mechanic to curtail using just one unit to fight except under very specific scenarios. There does not seem to be a faction...

    JRPGs

    The Tactics Ogre remake is really good if you want story and game mechanics with more depth. If you want simpler tactics style RPG combat, the Mercenaries Wings and Fire Emblem games are out there. Tactics Ogre, for my money in all of its versions, is the gold standard for tactics games and on...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    If they were gonna let Kirk go, they probably should have nabbed Wilson first when they had the chance. Now they are pretty much fucked for the forseeable future. But its not shocking they let him go. Vikes have a long tradition of dumping QBs who are injured immediately. As a Packer fan, I...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Pre Cap era, but still a contender for worst trade ever. This is basically how Jerry bought himself a SB winning team at least on the defensive side of the ball. Vikings sucked for years after that and Dallas was basically the Yankees of football, playing with a roster twice as expensive as...
