    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Samurai is pretty good, and the only thing I'd choose besides Wretch (though I could see someone making a case for Astrologer to be a "real caster" right away) Samurai starts with an Uchi, meaning it's the only class that can dual wield and powerstance Uchis. The one Uchi in the actual game...

    Civil War (2024)

    If the US fell into a civil war, China and Russia would be too busy taking out all of their adversaries to possibly bother with us. Russia would be fighting France, UK, Germany, etc over Eastern Europe, while China would be fighting Taiwan, South Korea, Japan. Somebody would annex Mongolia...

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

    This, Why Files is always good. This particular video is about the Book of Enoch and all of the Great Flood stories, which is one of his favorite topics to get into. At the end of the videos he debunks everything that can be debunked so you're never left believing things that are off-base.

    And then there's Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth right before the end of January. Kind of an embarrassment of riches TBH. I'm gonna make some room for Infinite Wealth, FF7, and the Elden Ring DLC but I don't know if I have room for anything else. If the DLC is a no-show, then Persona 3.

    What part do you disagree with? ...all of it? Glad I'm not the only one who isn't crazy about GTA4. Well, a friend of mine who is a GTA fanatic decided to help me finish the game since he's hyped about GTA6 stuff, so we're gonna have a few Saturday game sessions and try to finish the game...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Not convinced that there's anything to this. It's basically just a controller collaboration dropping on the anniversary of the game, doesn't mean SotE is dropping at the same time. It the controller is itself an SotE controller it could also be generating hype for later in the year. We don't...

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

    I totally agree with you. Human capacity for mass hysteria, mass illusion, mass belief in something that isn't actually happening knows no bounds and it's been well documented. We just saw millions of people put a drug dealer who had an overdose death onto a Jesus-like pedestal while raging...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Next stop is to do the Grand Slam achievement for Convorteum in-era. And later on, beat UEE in-era. I'm certain you could pull both of those off. Keys don't really factor in in either case to detract from the achievements. They've still both only been done once to my knowledge, and both late in...

    Bloodstained is tremendous. It single-handedly got me back into Metroidvania style games. I fell out with them for a while but now they're my 2nd favorite genre behind Soulslikes. If I can find something that combines the two (Salt and Sanctuary for one) it's a magical thing. Just got...

    More on the ammonia thing, which has turned up in even more of the contact stories than I thought, and was also cited by the reddit biologist post a few months ago.

    Yeah, I had to resort to spamming emotes to get through that. Totally mind-boggling that they put that section right after 3 other sections since the last checkpoint. The spring section was also pretty bad, and it had 2 sections before it that had to be repeated every time you fell. Just meh all...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    I'm taking a break from it since I got to Genichiro (and gave him the one try as a fun test run). Got too much going on between now and the new year, so I might not resume it until then. Hopefully my ability to play doesn't atrophy in the meantime (it shouldn't, not in that short a span).

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    That's pretty sick. Finishing UF in 28 hours is also pretty sick. No idea what the record is but I imagine this is in contention, with the keys factored in of course.

    Much better than any actual announcements coming out of this crew. It's bonkers how they have people spelling it out for them and still manage to be clueless about how to get people pumped.

    Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

    Did you do a CT dungeon crawl? I remember doing something like that at level 40ish (I think) back in 2000, trying to get the Ravenscale armors in my failed run as a rogue. It took a whole evening and replacing group members as people left, but I got every piece of Ravenscale. It's probably my...

    So phase 2 is the real battle? Lightning countering looks really fun in videos so I hope I get it down. Wo Long taught me parrying and made me a lot more competent for this game, but you can get through most of Wo Long using the same strategies for every boss fight. Being able to level up also...

    Mario Wonder's very last level (after 100%ing the rest of the game) has to be the hardest level in Mario history. Mostly because it's super long and they went stingy on checkpoints. After a couple hours I reached full "I'm too old for this shit" mode and switched to Nabbit for the first time all...

    No way, I don't think there's anything positive about "saving up for one big donation" considering that the whole time he was namedropping a bunch of organizations they were actively "working with", implying money.

    Oh man, I had so much beef with Twilght Princess. I was looking forward to playing it for years, expecting Ocarina of Time 2.0. I finally get a Wii in like 2010 or so and the game was all brown and dull and the special items were basically useless outside of being a gimmick in their dungeon, as...

    This is an ad, right? Been getting these official-looking "your warranty needs to be re-upped" mails for like 3 years now and they're always hyperventilating that my warranty is about to run out. The car is a 2017 and I believe the factory warranty ran out in 2020, so they were on the ball in...

    "Secreting waste through their pores (the way we sweat)" is interesting because I've read similar things in other places. Most notably, I think the Varghina alien was doing that (secreting some kind of waste) and it gave off a strong ammonia smell according to the witnesses. That is, if I'm...

    Alright, I'm gonna hold off on the apes until after Genichiro. It feels like I've already played the whole game since I've watched so many clips of it over the years. Think I've seen every boss. Is Genichiro about the halfway point of the game like I've heard? Also it would be awesome if I had...

    I have no idea. He didn't have any particular stated goal. Every year the charity events would be touted as "going directly to alzheimer's research". On multiple occasions he name-dropped University of San Francisco saying that his charity was one of their top funders. Also name dropped a few...

    Nope. You can get to them before Genichiro? I looked pretty much all over the place and the only ways forward I found were the Folding Monkey idol (doesn't work yet) and the locked door after the centipede guy (no key). The only thing I didn't do that I found was this one miniboss in the cavern...

    Defeated Genichiro Ashina on the first try. Does that mean I have the hang of the game now? Then his second form beat me, unfortunately. I've never had a chance to try countering lightning yet so I just ran away when he did that. What did me in was running out of posture from his chain attacks...

    Unsure. I just saw the one trailer from the other day and it looked like Leviathan was involved, had a water themed title. Also saw Omega in there though. So there are two DLCs, one that's out and one upcoming?

    What rustles my jimmies today: These fucking modern rappers stealing legendary songs of yesteryear and making them "theirs". "Walk On By" is one of the great classic songs.

    Just looked around the room and counted. 3 internet-connected listening devices in the room, 4 when a particular thing is turned on, 5 if the TV counts (it isn't a Samsung, it's an LG, so probably not). I bet most people would have more than that if they stopped and took an inventory. Kind of...

    Beat Lady Butterfly. Really not bad at all once I figured out how the game works. Being able to mash parry actually kind of breaks the game. I think Wo Long was harder in the parry department. Still aiming to parry on-timing because it's a lot more fun. Also downed Armored Knight (Roberrrrrrt)...

    Looks like it adds a Leviathan chapter to the game. Leviathan was notably missing from the base game and there was definitely a part of the game where it felt like a chapter was missing, so I'm guessing this was supposed to be in the base game and didn't get finished in time. If I ever replay...

    Can vouch for both of those. Also liked Diofield Chronicles and that one kinds goes under everyone's radar. It isn't a pure tactics game but it's similar enough.
