    House of the Dragon

    As previously mentioned, the "book" this is based on is a "history" book written from the perspective of a citadel maester. Completely dry, fact based telling of the targaryan civil war. I wanna say it was actually written by the couple that run grrms fan site and he gave it his seal of...

    Prey

    Nah she is female cary (kerry?) In legion. Shes the fighter chick that comes out of old scientist man cary. You know, the one who kicks ass and chews bubblegum but shes all out of gum? Earlier in the thread before the movie came out people were all like "hurrdurr 90lb injun woman gonna...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    So finally stateside and actually driving my NX 350 for about a week now, loving it. I made the mistake of immediately linking my phone and using android auto... the Lexus navigation is so much better and fully integrated into the car, wish it would link to google maps but the lexus nav the...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    It was invented all the way back in TBC, but it wasn't intentional, it was a bug fix for a quest. They later used it intentionally during WOTLK and many other games like ESO use it to handle quest progress/passage of time during quest lines/events. These guys had broke off from blizzard before...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    This was basically space WoW, made by a bunch of old blizz people right? The only thing I remember about this game was it's surprisingly simple yet brilliant use of faction standings to aid in leaving shit. What I mean is, at the time most games were WoW clones so story/quest based leveling...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I thought they were gonna turn it around but the changes on the PTR are not nearly enough to satisfy the people who "don't play because the combat is lame" ex-players and it's too much changes for the current players who "think the combat is tactical and shows skill, even if it's not enjoyable."...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    Nah that was changed to make this "the gayest movie ever" 45 seconds in to this video:

    EVE Online

    Welp nostalgia won i suppose. I downloaded the game and went through the recovery process to unlock 3 of my accounts. Apparently I've had 6 total accounts associated with my email over time and i seem to remember using some kind of refer a friend thing to get free trial accounts a free month...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    yeah i'm not talking about having to watch videos to learn tips and tricks to eek out the last 10% of effectiveness of an already solid build, i'm talking about the utter cluelessness of your average casual. Like wearing pieces from 6 different sets and not getting any bonuses. Light helmet...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Weaving may be what separates vet players from elite HM players with that extra 15-20% damage but honestly it has nothing to do with the power balance between casual and hardcore in this game which is the reasoning behind the changes. Casual players do like 20-30k dps and struggle in rnd's vs...

    EVE Online

    Eh Eve you've always been able to buy and sell game time for in game currency and always been able to buy and sell characters to "catch up," so in a way it's always been pretty pay 2 win in that aspect. Also it's always been a pretty "serious business" game taken to the extreme. I remember...

    EVE Online

    also fuck whoever bumped this thread and reminded me about Eve. I get random bouts of nostalgia for it every few years but never enough to actually download it, but this time for whatever reason I find myself watching youtube videos trying to catch up and learn about all the things that have...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    uhhh....thanks for pointing out the shitty player work around that simultaneously negates the entire purpose of having separate traders instead of a centralized one, and proves they need to just implement a regular auction house in game?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    to the second part, hell yeah that sounds like a great change. for weaving, dont really care either way, if you aren't focused on constantly refreshing buffs then you should have enough time to weave properly so seems like an unneeded change once they fix the 2nd thing. now all this game needs...

    EVE Online

    haven't logged in to Eve in like 8 years. played this pretty religiously from 2006-2010 until I joined the Navy and started deploying. came back in like 2012 after a couple of back to back deployments and tried to play again off and on but all my peeps had moved on to other games or different...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I don't really get the "elitism" aspect of these games I just play casually, but the player bases for all these games are pretty much the same, maybe more weeaboo shit in FF14 and more crafter focused in ESO but they're still mostly (like 80%) just casual players enjoying the story or crafting...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Combat enjoyment for me has increased atleast 3 fold now that I can 1 bar. I'm just tinkering with my optimal loadout now for my 5 active abilities, and sub things out based on scenario. If it were more like new world or gw2 where you swap weapons for different scenarios or access to different...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    edit: whoops I guess you play this game so you didn't need an explanation on how it works. Bar swapping is fine in most MMOs, but this is weapon swapping with its animations and associated delays between ability uses. If you are talking about hotbar swapping then you are not alone, I always...

    So a new mythic ring came out especially for 1 bar builds. I spent the better part of the afternoon leveling scrying and farming for this ring but it solves so many problems:

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    No, i'm not confusing shit. feel free to read this thread tho? The game at launch had a super shitty character lockout bug. like "fuck this game" if you were affected, and people who were affected quit over it, not denying that. but it only impacted a small fraction of people. something...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    Other than the character lockout bugs that made the game unplayable for certain people, the game's launch was fine and the game was great at launch. It was developer intervention/repeated nerfs/tinkering with gear/tier levels/etc which killed this game. So you're all saying that they stopped...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This is pretty much where I'm at. "optimizing" builds makes me hate playing the class, any class. So I said fuck it and rolled a 2h stamina necromancer and just death knight around like a boss. hate weapon swapping so much I just use identical 2h on both bars, with rarely used/long lasting...

    SWTOR

    Didn't find the JK story to be particularly compelling, middle of the road at best, but some people really love it. It's definitely better than some of the other storylines (Sith Sorcerer/Jedi Sage for example) but there's definitely better class storylines to enjoy. Most people rate trooper...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Those were laser guided bombs. No we don't have space lasers. I mean when we are bombing browns riding camels and shit we typically lase from 30k feet so its basically the same thing, but against a real opponent like fictional iran in this film flying under radar its still the aircraft (or a...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    F35 is the harrier replacement and the marine version is vstol. It deploys on amphibs, though they still have F18s (a-d) they are mostly land based. Navy F35 is the F18 (a-d) replacement and its taking a lot longer to modify for navy use (carrier landing, suped up landing gears, tail hooks...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    preaching to the choir about the reliability my man. I guess i'm just jealous cus i'm poor. You're talking 50 grand after it's all said and done paying 30 cents a mile @5.00/gallon and that's not expensive to buy. I mean I did just drop 60 grand on a brand new Lexus NX but the MPG was a huge...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    16 city / 19 hwy MPG = Not Expensive to buy? and even the base model is 40k...plus market rate adjustment i'm guessing an additional 5k? depending on your area.

    New World

    you guys are putting more effort in to what it would take to salvage this dead game than the developers ever put in to making it. What's this game have now, like 500 players? and most of those are bots? like 75% of the players were bots when I quit months ago and 98% of the servers had less...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    kinda confused. could of sworn this was just 3 nerds larping about making a video game with all volunteer dev's and 0 funding for the past near decade, it certainly hasn't been a real thing since the kickstarter failed and the fuzzy troll era. When the fuck did they manage to secure funding...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Wasn't any of that shit. If you read my 2nd rant you'll see the forced diversity, and its really only an issue if you are US Navy who works/flies/has intimate knowledge of F18s and know they used gimped aircraft in order to accommodate said diversity. For general audiences theres like 0 woke shit.

    Companies that don't have 24 hour customer service. This is only rustling me because i'm getting ready to move back to the states and actually have a need to call these people. Why the fuck do I have to stay up late as fuck to talk to "bob, from chicago" who's really buntu from bangladesh and...

    So last night in my room, its dark, head set on, vigorously masturbating to some internet porn, when i feel something hit my chest. Look down and its some sort of creepy crawly, idk beetle or spider or something, i cant tell. My eyes arent adjusted and all my brain blood is in my dick so i...

    welp the purchase process (actually just the paperwork portion) took a little longer than expected but my car should be arriving at my folks place on Thursday.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    hrm. combat/gameplay is fun, not as good as shit like black desert but better than most games still around right now. lore/questing is interesting, full voice acting for every npc, better story than most games, not quite as good as TOR but better than anything else. I think what leads to...
