As someone who sucks at action games and doesn't think Elden Ring is that hard (if you use everything available to you), I'm curious to see how the DLC handles difficulty. Does it stay more or less accessible and keep the invisible difficulty slider of the main game, or do they go all in with...

Fahrenheit 451 - The newer movie starring... Michael B. Jordan?? Didn't have high hopes for this and expected it to be geared towards a teenage audience, but the villain is played by Michael Shannon and that single-handedly carries it. By the end I'd say it was actually passable and got some of...

What's the best way to watch T2 or Aliens at this point? I've got T2 on both VHS and Blu-Ray. Never bothered getting a 4K player despite having a 4K TV. For movies it really doesn't seem to make much of a difference, or even worsens them in some cases. Far as I can tell DVD is too low-res and...

You still playing IWD? Another really good long-form video worth adding here that mostly focuses on CRPGs but also gets into the contribution of JRPGs a bit, or at least the late 80's early 90's ones that branched off of the CRPG genre. This video single-handedly got me pumped to do more CRPGs...

For 90% of the card battles I won by focusing on just taking over the majority of the board so the CPU had nowhere to go. Those cards that can be placed on an existing card to flip the pawns next to them were ideal for freezing out the CPU.

Sounds like the lifetime sub was kind of like buying into bitcoin in the 2010's. Seemed like an iffy prospect at the time while actually being an incredibly good deal.

They need to fix whatever the issue is with mob exp at level 111+ and just let mobs give normal exp at that point. While they're at it, having 101+ not immediately nullify exp from pre-TDS zones would also be nice. I don't know if this is a coding issue or an exp curve / numbers issue. As in...

IIRC silver is pretty useless after a point because it'll "blue out" most high level raid equipment you have on and cut your HEM by like 80%. It lets you log in and that's about it. Never gave much thought to it as a result, I'm either subbed or not subbed.

Well...well... I disagree. Level 1 epic server let's GOOOO.

Yeah, same thing happened to me early in the video when he was showing PC games from the 1970's like Moria. I recognized some of the footage from when I was VERY small, and unlocked a distant memory of playing Moria (or at least looking at it) on a school library computer at like 4 years old...

Not sure I believe anything that random guy is saying about being experimented on, but if grey aliens are real, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they could cross-breed with humans. Have always gotten the vibe that they either made us, or ARE us from further up the evolutionary ladder (i.e...

I definitely regret missing out on getting a lifelong sub for $200 or whatever it was during the super-limited time it was for sale. Found out about it, was gonna get it, then poof no longer available.

That was another thing, they made Shinra responsible for the reactor explosion being so intense rather than letting Avalanche actually be a morally questionable shade of grey, "ends justify the means" faction. Good luck running OG PS1 FF7 on the Switch, I'm not sure if the hardware can keep up...

Did he? My bad. I don't remember seeing any corpses of regular people on the ground, just lots of Shinra troopers. Maybe I'm wrong. I might be wrong about Dyne's victims, but I listed a ton of other things that I thought were unnecessary changes and I don't think I was wrong about the lion's...

In other news, so far this is pretty good and I'm glad someone made it:

You missed the part where I said "schoolgirl anime panty shots"

https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/how-about-a-server-where-everyone-starts-with-their-epic-1-0.296850/ My wacky epic idea got shat on by a bunch of people with no imagination who barely even read the post, or noticed that I had recommended levels for stats and level...

Just thought of something else. Everyone Dyne kills in the Gold Saucer is a Shinra trooper. In the original he killed a bunch of innocent people, which illustrated how far gone he was. This time they sanitized that by basically having him kill a bunch of the bad guys. Which makes the reactions...

Personally I have more disdain for Japanese anime-style games with low camera angles and schoolgirl panty shots than I do for anything from Sweet Baby Inc. (Don't get me wrong, they're both lame as hell)

Funny because I used that very strat to steamroll Ogre Battle back in the day, and was asking on here if it was feasible in UO. Sounds like it totally is. The game should be pretty much a cakewalk then.

Oh shit, THAT is the "BFG 9000" from back in the day. Never knew what it was actually called. I think you could do all kinds of 'sploiting with it.

This means your level 5 Origin-bots could also be bound in other places and used as a death-shortcut to get around. Basically doubling your available town-warps. Run the DE down to Oggok and bind there and you can skip the Ogre bot. Basically you can create your own super-ghetto version of PoK.

What is a Breezeboot's Frigid Gnasher? 500,000 man-years have been spent playing this game, longer than all of known human history and pre-history. Warrior being the most-played class kinda explains a lot. Like why so many people left for WoW.

In that case my 200k rat ear collection is probably obsolete now since they're buyable from a merchant again due to the passage of eras. So basically have to sub for a month to get the potion claim. No big deal. Goblet of Adventure II isn't the best though, 25% over 8 hours. Aren't 50% pots...

Who was it in FF16 who offed herself? Was it the evil queen? I'm drawing a blank on FF16 in general but I vaguely remember this. And I agree that they messed up a bunch of magical parts in the FF7 remakes so far: -Not having Barret's theme play while walking around Sector 7 at the beginning of...

That's a real image right there. I think it's pretty likely that "the meek will inherit the Earth" and not know what to do with it. I learned from James Cameron's terminator future war mythology that in the event of a nuclear war, the only areas that would really be left alone from nuking would...

'Nother persona question: Is there anything stopping you from switching personas to a caster, going to a place and binding yourself there (like the Seb bubble), origining, switching back to your non-caster main, and gate potioning back to the new bind point? Or at least reappearing there upon...

How do these anniversary EXP potions work? Just log in on any character and it'll give you a /claim for it? I assume you only need to log in once per account. I should probably get that done. Yeah I feel that. Haven't logged into a high level character on a live server since like 2015 and even...

Words to live by, but social media gave everyone a voice, dictated that they take a side and have an opinion, etc. Now all of those tendencies have bled over into the real world and nobody knows how to shut the fuck up anymore.

Yeah, wood elf covers that too. So how many of these persona do you have by default, 3? Only need to buy 2 slots, or 1 if your main is one of the five races Xevy mentioned. Obviously dru/wiz have to do less. If you do all of those I don't think bard is really all that useful after all for runs...

At some point (Miragul server I think) I tried doing a heroic 85 necromancer to go do some soloing and whatnot. Was getting beaten down by DB mobs in New Feerott just trying to get the J5 merc tasks done, while I tried to figure out all the AAs and everything for 60-85 that I wasn't familiar...

Alright, so -Level 5 Bard persona with a drum for running somewhere out-of-the-way, preferably with a centralized Origin like Freeport (though even this is sounding situationally useful at best since you can just do an Origin persona) -Level 5 Iksar persona (if not Iksar) for switching over...

P3 doesn't really go insane until like the last 10% IIRC. For the most part I found the main story to be on the slow side since I wasn't into the sim aspects as much as the dungeons/combat and spent most of my time doing Tartarus for that reason.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 200k rat ears I hoarded are on Mischief, because I did it right before they made merchants stop selling them. It was a great leveling route at the time. Mischief was well after Phinny and they still gave good exp when they were removed from merchants. You might be...

So basically just...PoK and Nexus? Where do you persona-change in Classic-Velious? At least in DoN+ you can do this in the Guildhall and then port to where you're going. Sounds like they drained much the usefulness out of the concept and basically just made it a way to share flags and nodrop...

TBH I'd be happy with people like that just being completely irrelevant, like they used to be. Nobody pays attention to them, nobody cares, let them do whatever it is that they do in their little corner of society. Though her attitude got so pervasive that it's no longer irrelevant, it should be.

It was a while ago, I don't remember anything that happened in those games except that I think Superman went evil at some point and eye-beamed people. Fighting game stories aren't generally the most engaging, though the modern MK/Injustice types have elevated fighting game stories quite a bit.

Kinda like how Cait Sith's mere existence brings down the gravitas of every potent cutscene he's in. -Plate falls, killing thousands of peasants while your heroes struggle helplessly to stop it and the Shinra overlords who planned it dispassionately look on. Cut to a cartoony stuffed cat doing...

As in, any town zone? Too bad you can't switch anywhere, but any town zone is workable. Still say a level 5+ Bard with a drum is a very good idea to Persona. Pre-mounts it'll help a lot with getting from town to town. Be kind of funny to have to duck into Neriak on the way to Sol A/B just to...

I'm guessing buffs (SoW) aren't shared, given the level reset and all. Might be smart to Persona a Bard and get them to level 5 (or higher) with a drum for travel purposes, then switch back once you reach the zone you're running to.
