    Splendid. And about time. Means there's going to be lots of salty fighters when they still try to game the system and then lose a shitload of money when caught. Where's the Nate Diaz commentary on this?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You just need to go into the "Reset save data" menu and wipe one out before running, as it auto-saves and will have you at the 61 mark if you try to run again on the same save. It is definitely soul crushing, however.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The content in SB is probably based upon the minimum ilvl requirements for the final HS storyline stuff. I would imagine that they might make drops easier to come by via reducing Lore costs or something similar, but they probably aren't going to drop the ilvl requirements. Once you hit 60, if...

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    Jesus, that's a bit harsh hah. I mean the Warriors are obviously as stacked as can be, but that's some pretty ridiculous disparity, even given tonight's performance.

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    I wouldn't go so far as to say that the Cavs have a sub 10% chance to win the Finals or anything drastic like that, but it really showcases just how integral to the team Lebron is. They literally built themselves into a corner that is going to fall apart when he starts declining hard.

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

    That is probably a rabbit hole you reeeeeeally don't want to go down. I'm not sure where it ends up but bestiality links are sure to follow. Also, the rabbit hole pun was entirely unintentional.

    Mitsurugi! Good trailer; really showed off how powerful the Garleans are relative to everyone else. Mofaka's got three swords in his scabbard. Three! Didn't feel like it spoiled too much though.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The entire "class" holdover from 1.0 really needs to just be scrapped in general, but there's way too much story attached to the 1-30 game to just spin more out of whole cloth. Much like the stat allocation that is effectively meaningless for almost every single job; it's not like Rogues/Ninjas...

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

    Only mildly relevant, really. Just had both of my direct reports and the director of division (well, this morning at any rate) drop in on my "fuck with server infrastructure" department and tell us they are funding training/classes and testing fees for myself and two others to get our CCIE DC...

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

    Modern MMO player is definitely not the target audience, hah. Looks like a reskin of EQ done in 2007, as others have stated. But with apparently much lower damage output! Hey, if it scratches the itch of our rose-colored glasses brigade, then it is clearly doing what the most vocal supporters...

    Factorio

    It really depends on how you approach the game, honestly. When I was actively playing it, a large portion of the fun was slowly going through the various phases of gameplay and coming to revelations, where I would then build more optimized versions based upon those revelations. Which would...

    Cruises: Good Value Vacation or White Trash Rafts?

    To OP's question: No, millennials are not incredibly stupid. They are, however, horribly misinformed by our media and educational systems.(At least in the US.) At this point, many millennial-centric ideologies are exactly that; ideologies. Borderline religions with how little they listen to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Realistically, you have a ton of bag room in FFXIV. 425 non-equipped slots as a level 1 character is a lot. There's just no real way to increase your carry around inventory, so if you do every job and craft, you end up with full bags all the time. I think the most you can have in WoW is...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah, that's pretty legit. The huge inventory space increase is also awesome. So much more Armory room, which is great for newer players who probably have classes all over the spectrum. Some breathing room is nice, but almost all of my classes are at/near cap, so I'm only using roughly the...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    I think it's $8.25 here in Santa Barbara if you go during the daytime/matinee. Evening I'm pretty sure it's $10.75 without 3d shenanigans added in for adults in the normal time slots. And that's with our incredibly retarded cost of living. This is a normal movie theater though, so if you are...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    That's a platform I can support. The prologue deal looked pretty good, though I may be mis-remembering but didn't the chick know that David is the one who basically killed her boyfriend/husband/whatever?

    Eight Values

    Social Liberalism Which is roughly correct but there were a shitload of terribly worded questions. I had a lot of "Don't know" answers simply because the question was too ambiguous to make a statement on. The science/tradition stuff falls right where I would imagine it would, except for being...

    They've been open about the normal stuff, but mechanics would be a spreadsheet and that is more of a Yoshi P letter than a big SE product advertisement. Par for the course, really.

    Persona 5

    Yeah, I haven't done a lot of deep diving in order to get the information, especially since I've had to take a hiatus on the game due to work. I know within a few weeks of P4s release there was a compendium on gamefaqs, but there's a good chance this one might take a little longer, since it...

    The Bad Batch (2017)

    It looks goofy and disjointed, but it does have Khal Drogo and Neo. I must have missed the first description of the movie where it mentioned the love story among cannibals... wasn't there another trailer/thread where it didn't allude to that at all?

    Persona 5

    The fusion quests are almost always just "level a base persona and then keep fusing it up" type scenarios. It's all about knowing the progression path. I'm sure there's a spreadsheet somewhere out there about exactly what can be mixed with whatever to create a certain persona. Then it's just...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Twilight Sparkle for mod. Not like the topic came up organically during the Thor conversation or anything. Can we talk about how Hela looks way too badass compared to the entirely random power levels ascribed to the Asgardians?

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Some EsJayDubb writers are criticizing Marvel for not having a strong female villain yet, and also for not having a strong female as a primary character. This movie is their golden child, for some reason. They kind of gloss over Black Widow and Gamora by claiming they are not "leads." Or...

    Persona 5

    The entire Shin Megami Tensei series of games are fairly decent/good, with some outstanding titles if you don't have a hardon for using the term "weeaboo" in a derogatory manner regarding all things japanese. If you enjoy anime at all, and like RPGs, this series is basically built to cater...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Haven't played this so I'm a perfect person to make some commentary on it. Bioware has been doing the romance angle for literally 20 years at this point; getting antsy about it is silly. Unless they drastically changed how they work those scenes, there's always an option for "nah dude, I'm...

    Persona 5

    Legitimately, what fights have you run across that take 30 minutes? If you aren't downing all the enemies by exploiting their weaknesses, they tend to assrape your entire party fairly quickly. And even the palace leaders don't take anywhere near that long, unless you are engaging everything...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Pick the outlier; use it as example of the mean. If you -need- to have cable/direct TV in this day and age, you should probably try to hang around women who don't watch shit like the Housewives of Atlanta. Netflix alone handles 90% of most needs, not to mention that most people who do the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, hyperbole struck. It's more like having a bunch of companies offering shit for top dollar when it's worth pennies, if that. So instead of being legalized theft, it's really just a lot of shitty collusion between the (old) primary content delivery service for television shows. Thankfully...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If anything, the cost of cable channels in general is legalized theft. There's a lot of gray area to the concept of media and theft, as far as I'm concerned. Take the series Letterkenny, which is fucking amazing. Except there was (there might be now, but there most certainly wasn't 6 months...

    The Matrix may be a New Hope, but Reloaded/Revolutions sure as shit weren't Empire and Return, haha. The first Matrix movie was, like I said, amazing. But the pseudo-intellectual philosophical sophistry of the third is -not- worth anyone's time to put more than idle thought into. Its very...

    Life is feudal The search function can be a bit wonky at times. The colon probably threw it off. There's a few folks who purchased it; I'd check the other thread and see who dove into it; early access MMOs from new devs don't inspire a lot of love around here generally. See that "Revival"...

    Dave Chappelle shows were great. Couple of lulls in the Austin show, but they both delivered.

    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    Terraria/Minecraft/Etc work great as single player/small group games. Their concepts do not apply well to MMOs. Going forward, I hope other devs at least paid attention to that concept and realize that the Fuckhead Factor(TM) of the MMO playerbase means you simply cannot have mechanics that...

    Lynda Carter as WW is a fan thing; it has nothing to do with comic book portrayal. She's ideal because horny 12 year olds (no idea on age demographics here. What are we, 30+ as a reference?) remember her fondly while fondling themselves. But compared to literally the entire history of comics...
