    Neglected, overlooked, or just plain missed large crater in South America.

    Car ?'s

    Don't you live out in the true middle of nowhere USA? The big city should have enough business for independent shops to pay for all the specialty equipment, but I'm sure it is pushing shops to be become more specialized. Most of this board probably lives within an hour or two of large city...

    Car ?'s

    First mistake was taking it to a stealership. They are probably charging at least 30% more than an independent shop. If you live in a big city you can usually find reputable shop recommendations on enthusiasts sites, although I don't know how big the Hyundai community is. If it's a decent...

    Peacemaker

    Oh, right, forgot about Penguin. It was good too, but not sure I have a desire to rewatch it like Peacemaker. Time will tell. I've watched Peacemaker three times now and thinking back on it, I don't think I rewatched The Punisher either (maybe I'll put it next-ish on the watch list).

    Peacemaker

    I never watched the movie and had no issue following the show. Sure, it probably would have made things a bit easier to track at first, but the show does fine setting up everything on it's own. Not that it's saying much, as there isn't a lot of competition, but Peacemaker is the best or second...

    The Luckiest Man in America (2025)

    Sure, but no. We have all been taught by video game reviewers, since at least the 90s, that they may say they have a 10 point system, but really only use a three point system (unless it is utter trash or full of bugs). Which means that "good" games are at a minimum, 7 or higher. This was...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    A gaming oddity: A game with a longer development time than Star Citizen finally got released. This game originally started work in 2003: Don't plan on playing it, just something kinda interesting.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I find it the total opposite for both GTA and Cyberpunk, where I enjoyed the main story and the "side" stories that were tied to the main story, while skipping most everything else. The side missions got repetitive/stale after 2 or 3 times and the driving did not compare to a real racing game...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    The Discord channel (not sure how many work on it) has kept the following google spreadsheet mostly current since Velious, and it looks like its been updated quite a bit since I quit. When a new xpac drops, it takes a few weeks for the min/maxers to decide on a "good enough" list, get it written...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Flurry cap for this server was lowered to something like 75% at the start of PoP along with other changes, but I don't think any others involved waisted AA points by spending over cap. Up until that point, Mag/Bst made it easy to get 100% flurry. As for PoP pets, when I stopped playing a month...

    Computerized Embroidery

    Yea, no idea on the machine side, other than some sewing machines can only do up certain materials. So I would assume that embroidery machines operate the same way, with only commercial grade machines able to do things like leather or suede (not that you said you were planning on doing anything...

    Computerized Embroidery

    That guy probably had a decent amount of experience and/or it was a simple logo. As an alternative to learning the software yourself, I had a somewhat complicated 4 color 6in x 4in logo converted a while back by a company online. I don't remember the name of the place but it was pretty cheap and...

    7 Days to Die

    Kenshi is a third person survival, base building, squad management, RPG-lite, with some RTS like battles. You control when and how much your base/crew gets attacked, by how you interact with the game and where you build your base (whose land you build on). Valheim is a first person decent solo...

    Fréwaka (2025)

    Indeed. I didn't know it was a horror channel in particular. It looked like it was owned by AMC, so it just became the AMC streaming service. Sort of like how Paramount has original programing and CBS shows at the same time.

    Fréwaka (2025)

    I don't much like horror movies or TV shows unless they are exceptional; generally when they lean into the suspense/thriller and involve space (Event Horizon), involve space creatures (The Thing), or both (Alien(s)/Pandorum). I often wonder if it's due to having few if any superstitions, so I...

    Fréwaka (2025)

    Looking on the list of Shudder Originals I don't see anything I even recognize, let alone talked well of here. I also wrote off AMC and haven't watched anything (other than Better Call Saul) they have made after finding TWD too ridiculous to keep watching (around season 4). Also, the midseason...

    Purchase Lossless or High Quality Audio

    Subscription service might be worth it, depending on how much you think you will be buying. Some years ago I subbed to Deezer for a while, as they were one of the few that streamed FLAC (lossless), back then. You can set up playlists, set it to play artist by discography, or album by album.

    Woodworking

    While I doubt I would have any suggestions, as I have not worked with fancy/large woodworking tools, a clarification on what they are crafting might help others. All you mentioned was crates, so for example if all they are crafting are custom sized crates for safely shipping various odd sized...

    Ah, right. So instead of doing the thing I don't want to do most (level up items) I can instead put an egg in that slot and level it up instead! ...so open them up immediately it is! Thanks for the info.

    What are the rewards for the Easter event? If they really are buffing WiZ, I might be temped to play before it ends. Although I don't hear of any item XP changes and that's one of the major things keeping me away.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Ranger/SK/x is a really strong combo, but there are others. Ranger pairs really well with the proc base classes, so RNG/ROG/x is strong too. The discord has a bunch of discussion on the various combos, with the amount of posts in a thread denoting how popular they are. Discord has it's annoying...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Do you have it memorized more than 1 time in the spell book? I get the DnD4e and DnD5e rules confused sometimes, but I think 5e Clerics still need to mem the spell for every time you want to cast it. So if you have five spell_level_1 slots, you need to fill those slots with Create Water, if you...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Up until that point only Peter Moulinex had the reputation of lying his ass off to hype his games before they were released. It was the golden age of wRPGs and there was little reason to doubt them. Little did I know that Oblivion was the harbinger for the end of that age.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Aye, it's been a while so it's difficult to remember and it was before the internet remembers everything, so it's also difficult to go back and find various interviews. I don't remember listening to a thing Todd or Pete said for Skyrim, so no idea what they promised for it (or maybe I didn't...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I played them both on release too. For Oblivion I got 20 to 30 hours out of it and three or so same-sy rifts before realizing Todd and Pete spewed lies out their assholes all over me and I believed it all since Morrowind was so good. Obviously I was more jaded with Skyrim, but still couldn't...

    Lies. Oblivion and Skyrim are trash filled puddles without mods, while Morrowind can be improved but doesn't need them.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Todd is just a suit and spin man, all the talent left or was fired long long ago. If anything needed changed for Morrowind (such as the current gamebro engine not allowing flying), there is no one left that could deliver anything close to the classic experience. Hell, Oblivion was the start of...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    The current set up has incentivized me to play other games. Setting up a trader is ass and when I did it for Luclin, it took almost as much time to scan and set prices as it did actually playing the game. So I couldn't care less about what would happen to prices if they cut the time to level...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Minthara was a more like a "hidden" companion on release, where you needed to be evil and side with her, basically killing all the "good" people. I think you even lost 3 party members, just so you could get her. She was the least finished and had the lowest amount of dialog. One of the patches...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    That's the party I went with on first playthrough too (killed the vampire as well). There is one more companion that you can find at any time in chapter 1, which you will eventually run into (the other is at the end of the chapter). How soon depends on which way you explore. Small hint:

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    The change to item XP sounds good, depending on how it's implemented, but making DDD no longer twin castable probably totally fucks me for PoFire. Since wizard AoE spells lag and/or totally crash me out, that seems like an over nerf, when it really just needed a damage reduction to be closer in...
