Finished the demo. This is basically Game of Thrones in RPG form. I like it, it's very different from the rest of the series. The story seems so similar to FF15 early on* that I'm wondering if this game is just them reusing some of 15's concepts and "getting it right". * - Starting en media...

Just did that part. Not sure what the point was either. The Phoenix/Ifrit fight reminded me of the various on-rails fights in FFXV where the game shifted into "Dragonball Z mode" for a bit and controlled completely differently. It's cool that it looks like a traditional RPG setting, as opposed...

I'd get the FBSS in the meantime, otherwise you're just functioning at way below peak efficiency. Shaman is best off just grouping and healing until 33. Funny thing is, mid-30's is when they suddenly become super-soloers but by then you don't need to anymore cause you're in range of your 50. I...

Yeah, resist gear is first and foremost and should go without saying. That and Sky haste and you're covered. From there it's just a matter of how much else you want to farm (Epic drops, DE mask, Robe of Whistling Fists).

At a bare minimum for things to shoot for, off the top of my head and I'm sure there's more: Classic -Sky haste belt -DE mask -Whatever you can get done for epic before Kunark (there's a nice robe) Kunark -Celestial Fists Velious -AOW pants -primal fistwraps Luclin -Vyz'drah H2H

Before that in August we've got Armored Core 6 and Baldur's Gate 3 like a week apart. My God. Well, outside of those two I'll mostly be catching up on other stuff that's already out. Wouldn't miss BG3 and AC6 for anything though. Here's hoping Mirage learned the lessons of AC...

As much as I think Atlantis was in Mauritania, just crossed my mind that maybe it was in the Mediterranean at a time when it wasn't full of water. Would have been very fertile low-land terrain with streams and lakes if the Strait of Gibraltar were sealed up. Maybe the "great flood" was Gibraltar...

As far as that last one goes... if a craft actually burst into faster than light travel in our atmosphere or even close by, the resulting wave emitted by that would likely strip off the Earth's atmosphere in one shot. Something I have rarely seen brought up, that any kind of fast travel pulse...

Oh, there you go. Women on a bunch of dating sites have like 300 men in their inbox at any given time. They want immediate chemistry and gratification or it's on to the next. Triggering their "approval-seeking" brain is the best way to gin up chemistry. Ask them questions, challenge them to...

We've got a dating thread over yar: Dating @Amod May want to merge. Sounds like the situation is what you think it is. You had an awkward roll in the hay at 4 AM and it didn't work out. Unfortunately it happens. I had a two month relationship end a couple days after a similar awkward early...

Semi-related question. Occasionally doing some uber due to its mobility, but I've seen enough wacky uber videos on here to know how psycho people are. So if I'm gonna keep doing that I should probably have some kind of camera in the car. What'd be a cheap and effective option (preferably that...

That's good, if they're gonna try to make Metroid into Hollow Knight, at least it should have some pretty solid boss fights. IIRC there's one cut boss (water area, probably Draygon since you see its shadow in one room) and I was hoping they'd add it back in as a DLC but no luck yet. Looks like...

Nice, just loaded the game up and got a "Rookie Mode Unlocked" message. Maybe I will play it again. Just not keen on doing a repeat of the slog that was Normal mode.

They might need it for their "baby paladin" alt! They'll take that Cloak of Flames too, thanks. @xmod2 Whoa, that's the video I recorded. I think that was after we dropped Tormax + Vindi + Statue + AoW but I might be wrong. Charmed pets did like 90% of the damage and I think our out-of-raid...

That's another thing. Xenogears was going to be Chrono Trigger 2 (and likely have the other time periods of the game's history as the travelable time eras). While FF7 was going to be a combination of (our) Xenogears and Parasite Eve. All the early ideas that they dropped from FF7 ended up...

Yeah pretty much. Not sure where you are in relation to the final boss, but IIRC the last 5 or 6 bosses were all kind of ridiculous. "Take two energy tanks off per hit" ridiculous. The Metroid series was never about being Souls Hard, it was about exploring and collecting enough powerups to be...

Just had a thought. Legend says that Xenogears was supposed to be Chrono Trigger 2 early in life before it got repurposed into its own thing. Which makes me wonder... maybe the six eras of time in Xenogears weren't intended to be six different games, like Xenogears fans have been thinking for...

Doing it to stymie game rentals makes a lot of sense, some games did weird stuff like that back then. Personally I rented it a couple times. 7th Saga and Secret of Mana were the first RPGs I ever rented/played really, and both of them kicked my ass. Tried both again at later times and did a lot...

I can confirm that FF4 mobs are extremely counter-heavy. Depends on what version you're playing though, some versions they're not. Yeah levels make all the difference in these early RPGs. I remember struggling with things like 7th Saga on the SNES back in the day until I slowed it down and...

Sounds like I'll probably just play the main game and then Hordes of the Underdark if I want more. Unless the game totally catches fire with me in the meantime. I barely even got out of the starting areas so far though.

It's weird, first time I played Seiken Densetsu 3 (in 2014) I actually didn't like it at all, was a big letdown after the like 15 years of hype. The controls felt a lot stiffer than Secret of Mana. I liked SoM's loose gameplay. ...which was too loose at times to the point that the game could be...

That ZeroHedge article at the end is really good. Shit like Charlottesville and the Jan 6 fracas are convenient excuses for these woke people to co-opt shit to "fight back", but they don't seem to have anything else to fight back against. That doesn't stop Newsweek up there from going on about...

What would have made this server a lot more appealing is if the exp bonus didn't reset soon as Kunark etc are out. Just a flat 10% more exp for every character you get to 50, up to 10 characters which is permanent double exp on the server. Could even do it incrementally, like each character you...

Sounds like it's about what I expected for the Sword Coast, with NWN taking up a lot of that middle ground I wasn't sure about. Noticed NWN has two expansions included in the Enhanced Edition. I know NWN2's expac Mask of the Betrayer is a must, but what about these? Worth bothering with...

The most hilarious thing would be wood elf females who try to cyber other wood elf females and are shocked to discover they're both actually dudes. I have no pics or footage but I'm 100% sure this has happened many times

Humans aren't exactly like animals on Earth though. We're similar yeah, maybe 97% similar in some cases, genetically. We also have a massive gulf between us and the intelligence levels of everything else though. I'm very interested these days in the idea that advanced humans came here from...

What video is that? There are like seven video links in the posts before you. I checked out a few of them and they're like an hour long.

A few reasons off the top of my head: -It's a sometimes-turbulent planet with a lot of environmental factors/interference to consider, especially for non-natives who aren't acclimated to the climate. Like foreign militaries trying to function on Russian territory during their worse weather...

Nobody's talking about doing this as a replacement for a job. Not sure why somebody always makes that assumption whenever "best way to make lots of kronos" comes up in discussion on here. It's more about how can one most effectively get their kroner number up in a scenario like GiG/Mischief...

Go to Settings and make sure battles are set on Wait rather than Active. That'll stop things while you choose commands, so you don't have bosses wailing on you 3-4 times while you look for an item or spell. Setting the combat speed can also make a difference, but the time that it affects only...

What insurance? With Geico, at best I still have a $1000 deductible. For the most part they've been good under other circumstances though. Rustles me cause if the hit-and-runner stuck around / left a note or whatever, our insurances could work it out and they wouldn't have to pay anything...

Side note: Could the US/NATO intelligence apparatus have come up with a creepier name for their system than "Five Eyes"?

I feel like Gold Saucer is probably gonna be the big DLC they add to it later, with just the main story part of it (chasing Cait Sith around etc) being in this version. Hopefully I'm wrong. IMO the best part of the original FF7 was Disc 1, by far. I wasn't that into the rest. Losing Aerith +...

I think Junon here might have been the latest thing storywise in the trailer? Looks like the game is all just one big open world which could be really cool. Was wondering how they'd handle the overworld. The answer? Just make it a giant area, that's all the rage anyway thanks to games like ER...

This very thing happened to me the other day. Parked car and left it alone for 2 hours, returned to a big ol' dent and scrape on the side. Since it was a hit and run and I wasn't present, insurance dragging their feet on covering it. I basically am gonna have to pay $3000 outta pocket on car...

How in the blue fuck do I get all of these "Samsung Internet" popups to stop? I tried closing all browser windows on the phone, looked around for any settings or apps that might be the problem. Every 5 minutes or so I'm getting a pop-up that's like "breaking news: some terrible catastrophe...

Get that ivermectin outta here, misinformation-spreader!

I might have posted this already, it's a pretty sweet map. Anyone want to help me out and circle what areas are part of which game? I can't remember which game Waterdeep is in, if any. Seems like it'd be in NWN? Off the top of my head, I think green is BG1+2 and yellow is Siege of...

What's the metagame for making kroners in a GiG / Mischief type GDKP scenario? Attend raids to collect the paycheck without bidding on anything you don't have to? Bid on things and sell them in EC instead of equipping them, like a prick? Bid normally and get your gear upgraded, going for BIS...
