    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Is anything after WotLK "Classic"? I am happy to play through that but when does "classic" become retail at this rate?

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    That's what's happening right now. I would get a 6900xt, though, because they are the same price and better performance. Nvidia are shameless fucks who I hope have to lie in the shit bed they have themselves created after the second Crypto boom/bust cycle they rode to billions in profit. Live...

    Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

    Th I almost didn't get past the first episode, like Primal. Overall it was a great work based on the IP and a good but sometimes tough watch. There are mature shows that pull no punches and then this kind of shit. That's not a spoiler, that's the nature of Night City; Agreed its over done...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    People forget what a huge difference customer service can make until they need it. Not to call out Xexx but for lots of stuff, MBs or even CPUs, in the past you were dealing with a physical store. Now with all the tales about AIBs while Powercolor prices look good, I hesitate to drop 700+...

    There are many more and far more graphic puking gifs than I would have imagined. That gif of who looks like Depp in Black whatever Boston mobster thing gives me horrible high school drinking flashbacks before I developed better alcohol taste. Even so, the 80's were a drinking simpler time. I...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    My just bought ASUS 3080 was my first non-Evga card in a decade. I was hoping they would pick up AMD, not drop Nv. This is really a sad day.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I don't mean to defend this heaping pile of trash but Sauron fooled a lot of people, even powerful elves, although I think they gave him the boot from Linden right away (he got the boot from one place right away, then when someone else to forge the rings, and then went to Numenor where he ruined...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    But what if said bad guy knows you read minds and doesn't block you but feeds you bullshit mundane thoughts. He's hiding and knows how to hide. James Bond doesn't erase his past as a secret agent, he creates a plausible cover story. Sauron would do the same here, i.e. Annatar or whatever...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Our local Dominos was boxing way above its weight class for a long time: pizza was *really* good, got here fast, delivery dudes knew us and were cool. Then COVID hit and they never recovered. They started delivering again but the seriously worst pizza we ever received. Papa Johns is our...

    The Fast Food Thread

    After spending much of my life looking down on McD's as baseline, it seems like its the only place outside of Chickfila and Whataburger that consistently gets my order right. Lots of days when I am super busy and we are all home, I can have Doordash bring us good McD's food for 5 bucks over menu...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    We don't disagree, I just put their irrelevance in 1993, you extend their decline into Mid 90s (95?). Spaghetti Incident came out in Nov 93. Actually, the big mistake in that post is mine, I push Grunge back into 93, when really Nirvana was hitting big Christmas 91/Jan 92 with "Smells like...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    Just what the Thor Franchise needed: a Se7en installment. Gor was always dumb, and Cancer Jane was extra stupid sprinkled on top of it. Have *Taika* doing a Gor movie with Cancer Jane in 202x was the Nuclear Fusion of Stupid, though, I will give you that. I was scared they were going to bring...

    They had a few great years as hair metal died and then they drank their own kool aid and started hating each other; in 93 Grunge took the piss out of everyone playing $100 Million dollar stadium show tours and flying on individual private jets to shows and whatever else they were doing.

    Europa Universalis IV

    I've learned how to play this game like 3 times, years apart. It's ok to keep updating stuff, and adding on to the game, and adding *CONTENT*. Stop changing basic systems, though, ffs.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Well, if you mean an a new server, as soon as I started on Maladath, I could have started a DK. Maybe because someone had already hit 55? In any regard, it seem like there are plenty of plate wearers now, although in my personal quest to play classes I haven't leveled before, DK is on the list.

    Why was DK already unlocked for me? I keep seeing people saying they "finally" unlocked it but it has been unlocked for me since I came back this time.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I have been playing super casually, my highest leveled character (pally) just hit 25 last night. We did Deadmines prior with 4 pallys and a druid; I tanked as a level 24. We literally burned through the whole place. I thought about making a Shaman but I just don't level fast enough/playing...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    So many great builds in this game, I remember my warrior healer significantly baseline healing in open world rifts by damage done, then them nerfing almost everything. Part of the allure of Ashes of Creation to me is the callback to at least a little of how Rift did its classes. I, too would...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Look, I was never that much into WOW; I went on a whole different MMO trip. I played EQ2 for a year, then when my guild broke up there I played vanilla WOW for a year mostly solo and pickup, never went on any raids, leveled one character to 60 or something, a few others to mid 40s (NE Rogue...

    Ashes of Creation

    Rickshaw the person, not the thread. As in, "Someone's GOT TO GO" on a long vacation, Goodfellas style. I did indeed /ignore them but given the comments around said person, I see its all about them, which is I'm sure exactly the point of the whole charade.

    I agree. I hate putting people on ignore but his guy joins dogfucker on my list. I will just watch Narc and Asmon for whats going on with the game until we Rickshaw Ice this assclown "until further notice". i.e. for good.

    Can we stop this Foler-esque sock puppet work from ruining the whole thread? There are so few things to be excited about the MMO Space these days and this is full on trolling. This is why we can't have nice things.

    Supposedly out in Q1 2023 but will inevitably have a #$200 price bump to go along with a really nice performance bump. There will be no new socket for AMD for 4+ years.

    Jon Hamm is so much lighter and funnier in interviews than he is in this trailer. How can you make the actor worse than his real life persona? His Chevy Chase impersonation suuuuuckks. Part of the problem is just the casting. Fletch always could always play dumb and play along with the...
