    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    @Zaide Listening to the Permafrost episode (LINK HERE) and this is some really interesting stuff so far. Apologies if any of this gets gone over later in the video, as I've only seen the first 30ish minutes so far. In any case, all this time I thought Nagafen and Vox were Kerafyrm's parents...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Cross-posted from another thread: Went through several of them the last couple weeks and EQ runs like crap on all of them, though once I crossed $1k with this latest one it now runs passably (as in, I could play it like this and even raid with spell effects and names turned off, which are good...

    Really not keen on spending more than $1k on a spare laptop to run EQ of all things. Surprised I even needed to go that high for this 25 year old game that should be smooth as butter on modern systems. EQ runs like crap on the $300 laptop I got a few years ago, and runs super-well on the $1800...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Just to clarify, I've got no problem with them making the MC all uber-hot. Something about the "Bayonetta body type" just does very little for me personally though, and this character isn't too far away from the Bayonetta look. Like I don't find Bayonetta hot at all. Not crazy about a woman...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    That "it's all in your head" thing should be straight-up banned from the medical system. Heard it multiple times, know other people who have heard it over things that turned out to be serious.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Got this up and running on (another) new lower-cost ($1k) laptop for the 25th servers, and finally found one that works well. Kind of shocked I had to go up to over $1k to run EQ of all things, as the previous two I tried were $800 and $850 and neither ran it well. This one's a Lenovo Legion...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    I was actually thinking the MC's proportions are unrealistic (and thus less appealing to look at than, say, a Tifa). Then I come here and find out the MC was motion-capped from a real woman. So I guess that kinda nullifies that argument. Still would prefer if she were a little less "idealized"...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Don't see a thread for this and feel like it's gonna be kind of a big deal, so here's one. Played the demo and this game is pretty awesome. Not sure it does anything particularly new, but it has a cool futuristic vibe and some insanely hot women (thanks, Korean devs) alongside very Nier-like...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Oh man, tradeskills in EQ, never again. 300 is enough to do Shawl 2.0 and Shawl 3.0 which are fun quests (and strong items, regardless of class). It's 301-350 and the Artisan's Prize that was a bridge too far for me. I think I got to around 310 before I tapped out...on the game entirely (for a...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Is Warwizard some kind of Warrior/Wizard/Mage hybrid? That's the only hybrid missing from original EQ and I've theorycrafted it out in my head before. To differentiate it from Ranger I'd let it keep self-only ports and maybe Mage pets for half its level like SK. Would really like to play an EQ...

    When they first announced 2016 GB, I expected four hot chix with like a new short shorts variation of the GB uniform. Probably one of them would be Eliza Dushku. It'd be the best thing ever. By the time 2016 actually rolled around, it was pretty clear anything like that was now Bad and forget...

    If a dev really wants to completely exclude a group of people, in 2024, fine, artistic freedom and all that. But to go brag about it like it's a good thing, thinking they'll get applause or something, fuck off with that.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    We are all one big combined consciousness is an interesting theory that would explain a lot. I'm a big proponent of reincarnation as an idea, and at its root it's kind of the same thing. Less magical and more "we're all from the same soup of consciousness and we return to it when we die"...

    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

    If people want a Ghostbusters 3 that we never got, I recommend the PS3 game from 2009 or so. Dunno if it ever got remastered or anything and it probably looks dated now. Maybe there's a PC version. In any case that game was a great "GB3" and had the original cast (including some of their actual...

    Looks like it doesn't matter, the RAM is soldered on. One slot, anyway. Lame, unless laptops have to do that due to their nature of moving around. Second slot is open, though. I guess I could add 32 to that for an oddball total of 48.

    That makes the choice fairly easy, think the computer is DDR4. I'm guessing there isn't much difference between the brands.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah Unsheathe is real good, and a cure for the slow attack speed that trips up most people when they play From games for the first time. Elden Ring including a riposte feature (strong attack right after shield-blocking an attack, IIRC) is another thing that can be a huge help to new people...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    My most-wanted servers at this point: -Mischief 2.0 with a Kunark start (optional: no truebox, all classes at start) -Mata Muram server (Agnarr 2.0 starting in classic and going up through OoW/DoN. Optional: Allow Agnarr xfers once it reaches LDoN) -Kerafyrm event server (PoR or TSS start...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Cool idea, sounds like Neverwinter Nights. Every level you choose which class you want to put the level into, and then you get another level of that class's abilities. I always say SK/Shaman/Bard is the holy trio. In this setup I'd just combine the three and max them out. Would probably also...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    So basically make everything tradeable and all/all? It's a good idea. I do think it'd create some imbalance issues, and that casters would get very OP (though perhaps this would level out and balance the Meleequest era). Meta would probably be Shaman with Donal's BP. Drain all your HP to fuel...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    Since the hardest part is the beginning, here's a protip: Since they added a suspend function to it, you can quit out and back up your save to PS Plus pretty much whenever (namely, when reaching a new area, or right outside a boss room, don't think you need any more than that). This way, having...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeh I said "story so far". 30% or so of the story so far is Remake, the other 70% is Rebirth, roughly. That's going off their runtimes, not factoring in the PS1 FF7 at all here. As for what the composition will be once Part 3 exists, who knows. It might be more like Remake's length or it might...

    Cool, I'm adding the Wasteland remaster to the list. Things I'd like to get to near-term (as in, this year) are both NWNs, Fallout 2, Castle of the Winds, and Warcraft 3. Might also try to do both IWDs and Planescape, not sure though. A lot depends on how much time gets taken up by the NWNs...

    Yeah I took the stairs. Not sure if I've ever taken the elevator in this version, probably should have tried it to see what happened. Was hilarious how much Tifa outpaced the guys, showing her incredible stamina. I don't think it's possible to outrun her but I'm wondering about that too. Shinra...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I'd say it's worth it yeah. Just bear in mind that Chapter 4 is very early in the game and you have waaaay more to go. Rebirth is also considerably better than Remake so you have that to look forward to at least. Actually, if you never played FF7 and don't have that nostalgia, I don't know if...

    Trying To Remember a Dungeon Crawl Game From The Early Years

    That's it, that's the game. Surtur was the bad guy, I remember now. It got me to go and study a bunch of D&D books that I found abandoned in a musty basement (true story) which pretty much catapulted my entire interest in fantasy, RPGs, games in general... Jesus H. I don't know who left all...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I think an OoW/DoN lock is the only kind of era-locked server that would work besides Agnarr and P99. Would it die off after a bit? Yeah, but it would appeal a lot to a subsection of people who played until 2004 or 2005. Could also allow Xfers from Agnarr to Mata Muram once the new server...

    Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)

    Musicals can be good. The question is if this movie will capture the zeitgeist like the first one did, or if it'll just be a vehicle to replace dumb Joker with super-better-in-every-way Harley, plus a side-serving of The Message. Or it could be somewhere in-between and just a decent character movie.

    Yeah, NWN hasn't aged well (neither has KOTOR, which I believe runs off the same engine as NWN but I might be wrong). It's very much something I'm checking out for the historical significance and because it's on my list. We'll see how it goes / if I stick with it.

    2018 Mazda 3. It's very good, but I've put it through its paces over a half-decade and want to get something new while it still has a high blue book value. Yeah, I've got a few scratches here and there, a scrape, a dent, and somebody keyed the trunk so it has a nice line across it. All of...

    Trying To Remember a Dungeon Crawl Game From The Early Years

    It was similar to these Exile games, but even less complex visually. Yeah, it looked just like this. This might even be it, but I don't see anything about the Giants being the villains over four levels. The game I played was like super basic and probably a knockoff of one of these. But yeah...

    Sounds like I should play Hordes of the Underdark after NWN1 and Mask of the Betrayer after NWN2 and just kinda not worry about anything else. That's if I stick with NWN and don't jump ship for a different CRPG. Howlongtobeat has NWN listed as like 55 hours and HotU at another 20, with NWN2 at...
