    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    The studio's time with Activision/Blizzard has damaged the IP somehow. The moment-to-moment gameplay (I hate the term loop) is still fantastic and the Destiny1/Destiny2 IP/world(s) is amazing and compelling but what they are doing with the narrative has lost me. I completed the last XPac and...

    New World

    I still think I have TSW installed on a PC somewhere, loved that game so much. Just the best take on a Modern/horror/occult/conspiracy Game and world. IIRC I leveled two complete faction characters all the way to endgame. Some of the best quests and areas. How was Funcom always making such...

    The Synthwave Thread

    Does anyone have a link to the Carpenter Brut Paradise Warfare video that was all of the 80's skinemax/cheesy action movie clips cut together that was posted in this thread from a few years ago? I swear its a mandela effect, I can't find that anywhere now. There is a commando one, and a...

    Age of Empires IV

    Yeah, I played AOE4 and was not impressed. Going 3d didn't seem to help the game in the not huge amount of time I played 10ish hours. I was really hoping for something different than an AOK remake. I mean, it was the best/most competitive AOE game but it really does seem to bring nothing new...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Here is the WorldofGeekdom Youtube video that has full spoilers for Matrix 4. It was taken down by WB for copywrite, so the assumption is that its a real report by someone who saw an early cut of the movie, a "95% cut" they call it. Warning: He isn't kidding; he is going into full plot and...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That is what makes this game awesome. Every time I do a new instance, I worry and fret about not doing it right. I always tell people: I haven't done this before, and always someone says some variation of, "Not big deal. This way."

    Guild Wars 2

    See, every time I think I want to come back, I realize how much bullshit is stacked between the game that I loved and where the game is now.

    KOTOR Reboot

    I am not referring to KOTOR2, which I probably own but have never played. I understand it was an unfinished mess at launch and never improved much over that, although over the years various people/teams have poured time/sweat/treasure into it to make it not a POS. One of the best things about...

    KOTOR Reboot

    It was great *at the time* because BioWare was great at the time, and they gave Star Wars a great Bioware spin. The Force power they gave whomever "fleet command" or whatever, IIRC seemed kind of deus ex (BAM) but funny companions and big ShamalmaDingDong Twist was good. Plus it was was so far...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    I don't know, looks good at least. A soft reboot/reset was built into the franchise from the beginning; Seems like they are doing some of that here. It certainly has potential. Whether they can pull it off, since the pair of them haven't made a really good movie since the Original Matrix...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    No no no, That's Michael Stipe, Jared Leto, Courtney Love, Chris Cornell, and Kurt Cobain. It was the 1990's, I was there.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    It was dickchopper propaganda in 1999, too. We just hadn't been fed so much of it because they weren't finished normalizing gays at that point and weren't ready to move onto destroying gender yet. People would have Noped out of all of that shit, the L's the B's the G's and certainly the T's...

    With the Hurricane I have been having to work a ton of hours and I have been under the weather, I just got my Paladin job to 49 and MSQ to Lord of Crags. Reading up on it, it seems like the first encounter that requires any kind of real mechanical knowledge. I peaked at where I was in the MSQ...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Destiny 1 and even the first few Expansions of Destiny 2, I just absolutely loved. After awhile though, its pretty clear they are just killing time, though. Getting Darkness powers and the content vault is I think what broke me. It's not Sword Logic, Its Soap Opera Logic: Whatever can extend...

    New World

    Seems like it was made for the Switch of things, if I am seeing/reading this correctly, before it was taken down and redone ala FFxiv. I am still in on New World. I really don't see how Bless can be better, but I have played New World and am currently playing FF and don't have room for another...

    New World

    Really? I have watched some videos on and it really didn't look amazing (or even anything to write home about) to me. I guess I need to visit the thread and see what I am missing. I did get that the PTW hype was just that, overblown, and it sounded like every other cash shop at least since GW2.

    That final point is what kept me from doing it, really. I have the capital (more or less) to invest in the bot and the proxies and the time, etc. The one thing I don't have is the trust in selling to people giving what I have experiencing buying from people: I would never trust random shitbags...

    I think I might have been abused as a kid. How do I find out?

    There are emotional and chemical causes for our reactions. It would be easier, and I don't mean this in a negative or condescending way, if there was an external cause for that change, as you recall, from the happy kid to the angry kid. And maybe there was, perhaps? Or it could a multivariate...

    I think I might have been abused as a kid. How do I find out?

    As many people here stated, "Recovered Memories" are a minefield into which you don't want to tread; there are far too many false positives one can be talked into, as discussed the way the brain forms "memories' is deceptive at best and there is tons of literature about why none of this is...

    I just got Scholar/Summoner and did a bunch of quests in Limsa Lominsa. Arcanist quest line was good. Fates seem to be linked and escalating in some places, like the public quests in GW2. I am probably doing to it wrong but I am seemingly playing a bunch of clases until they unlock the...

    Reminiscence (2021)

    I like the premise with the exception of the sunken city. Do we really need more Climate extremism, which I hear has almost no relation to the plot, shoveled into everything? Will wait to watch purely because if I want more Green propaganda I will watch the news.

    This is one game where the community has lived up to their rep. People are generally nice to Sprouts. People let people watch cutscenes. The game design encourages cooperation and cross-class knowledge. The whole feel of the game is just "good". Devs like the player base. Reports about...

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    In my corner of Texas in the 70's there was no UHF channels, either. We had the big 3 ABC/NBC/CBS and occasionally we would get PBS from Houston (and Lake Charles NBC/CBS/ABC but that was the *exact* same thing as Beaumont/Port Arthur). They did air Battle of the Planets, though at...

    There are no rules anymore. Fuck canon, I guess. These are barely anti-heroes, most of them. James Gunn makes good/interesting movies. This was way better than most DC films. Or at least more interesting. I get that its cool to hate America but that is so played out; America is just...

    I got so sick of all the guild drama; all the stupid server interguild fights and then the countless hours of required raiding. And this was all in Velious and the next couple of expansions. I know even before PoP (by the time we went to the moon, before we finished that expansion) I was done...

    Books that you read yourself are only ever just background, even in single player games.
