I feel like this movie is gonna end up being some kind of election metaphor. Immortan Joe is Joe Biden and the warlord Dementus is Donald Trump, and everyone else is just trying to survive them?

Was thinking the other day how there are more people today than there were in the 40's. A lot more. So there should be more Oppenheimer and Von Neumann equivalents in our time. Yet there really don't seem to be. Outside of Elon Musk, who's really moving humanity forward? This is the result of a...

This fuckin' guy. I don't want to believe he did something dishonest, and was waiting for him to put something out explaining himself. Then he just...didn't. Does he think this'll go away if he just says nothing? Jirard is really humble and wholesome in person and I had a high opinion of him...

I just hope they don't start coming out with a bunch of revelations about Proxima-52 Star Fighters and the ongoing war between the reptillians and greys. I need scissors! 61! What star do people think is most likely to be the source of alien life, if we really are being visited? Sirius? Vega...

So it's basically a combination of the Limitless drug and the Slo-Mo from Judge Dredd?

It's worth noting that Punk's segment on RAW got 300k less viewers than the opening segment of the show. Why is this worth noting? Because narrative-pushers have spent the last couple years saying that The Elite "cause 200k viewers to tune out every time they're onscreen" just because they were...

EQ: Zimbabwe Server

Everything that memo outlined has happened. Except Iran for some reason. It was always the biggest target on the list (unless you extend the list out to include Russia or China, both of which I think were in consideration at one time or another).

Yeah, the only hard parts are having the time to do it and the ability to stay focused. Back in 2000 when RPG Maker came out for Playstation, I was up for like 3 days working on it. Basically had the next 6 months or so off at the time being between school and finishing early, so I had all the...

"Procyon-B star spacecraft" huh? Did the aliens name it that? It's totally believable that Lockheed-Martin, Freescale Semiconductor, etc have pieces of off-world tech and are trying to reverse engineer it the same way they tried to advance all that stolen German tech. But it sure turns around...

"I've never let schooling interfere with my education." -Mark Twain Questioning everything should be taught, but it certainly isn't. Nowadays being a "conspiracy theorist" is pushed as one of the worst and most dangerous things people can be, and it's crazy how many young people actually buy...

I know this was done with Nazi tech, but I thought the Nazis took the first picture of Earth from space, about a decade before this? Maybe I'm thinking of some combination of them sending the first satellite into space and doing the first international TV broadcast. But I could have sworn they...

I can believe such a story. Seen plenty of camping videos where people recorded horrendous unidentified noises coming from the woods, sometimes from what sounded like a whole bunch of creatures. Usually recorded in the deep woods, and not sounds humans can make. They don't like when people get...

I used to really like finding ways to AFK-sploit to get power in old games. Something that comes to mind in a much later game: In Castlevania: Circle of the Moon on the GBA you can hold the limp whip in the air while standing under these ceiling things that drop endless enemies on you. This is...

Not rustled so much as...perplexed. Was sitting next to a bunch of foreign tourists on a plane. They were talking in a language I didn't recognize. Could have been literally anything. They kept alternating into English briefly so I got the jist that they were excited to go to the next town they...

Nearly every time I go to this one supermarket, they make some huge mistake. -One time I took my mom shopping and she bought $30 worth of cat food. She put it all in a plastic bag (one of the see-through ones from the produce section) and put it on the conveyor along with other groceries. Guy...

I'm hearing QT Marshall headed to WWE to join Cody. People are gonna joke and all that but he was an asset behind the scenes to AEW and did a ton of stuff. I think he'll be the 4th guy to go from AEW to WWE instead of vice-versa. Might not be much hoopla about it if he's just gonna be a...

This is probably a longshot, but anyone got any advice on Kid Icarus for the NES? It's one of the few NES games I still haven't played and want to. I think that list is down to like 4 or 5 things at this point because I got the rest of the big ones over the decades. Crystalis, Punch-Out...

Lot of doom and gloom in here about the state of the game and the competence of the people managing it. ...and unfortunately pretty much all of it is spot-on.

Are these good stats? Just pulled up my Planescape: Torment file (right at the beginning) and my stats look super weird for a Fighter. In my notes it says to be a Warrior (which I assume = Fighter) for six levels and then switch to Wizard, so maybe that's why I went so hard with Int/Wis. I'm...

Don't get too excited. They're going to give her a very short haircut and mostly unflattering outfits, as is series tradition.

At least the main character is played by a fairly cute actress. I could swear I've seen her in something before, like one of the John Wicks, but according to IMDB she's only been in a few semi-obscure things.

Yeah. I went into this wanting to give it a fair shot and thinking the annoyances were just a sliver of the overall picture. As the game progresses though, the annoyances grow and grow. All of the social commentary is about as subtle as a sucker punch to the head while walking down 5th Avenue...

Wow, this Danikast thing is annoying as fuck. This podcast that plays over the game while you're running around the city and has no apparent way to skip or turn it off. She gets increasingly subtly communistic as the game goes on and by the 60% mark she's using Karl Marx phrases. I'm like "what...

No new CRPG news from me, but I did find this video that includes most of the games that have been discussed here. Been chipping away at watching it for a couple days since it's quite long, but worth a watch. Stuff that appears on my own list: 1:03:55 - Temple of Elemental Evil 1:36:05 - The...

John Erp, a service officer for Disabled American Veterans in eastern Washington, spoke about Belton’s military service, where he survived the Battle of Okinawa - one of the bloodiest battles of World War II. “What Shorty did not survive was a brutal beating by attackers who stole his life, then...

Agreed on all counts. He says there are a few Ex-WWE guys in AEW right now just waiting to go back to WWE. Yeah, Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, and Andrade. Now Brody King is probably waiting to take off as well. So basically all of the Collision hardcores, AKA the people Punk surrounded...

Beat the Special World in Mario Wonder, also got all the Seeds in the game. Done with that game now. Technically there's one more level at the end of Special World that I can't access because it requires getting ALL of the collectibles in the entire game. Had no idea that was the case, otherwise...

Punk's new theme music. Much more bass-heavy, I like it

One thing's for sure, Punk is going to "main event night 1 of a buy 1 get 1 free PPV extravaganza" as he put it himself on AEW. Right now Cody is ironically one of the main eventers who is actually okay with the guy, funny considering his Elite connections. Then again The Elite never really...

I'm pretty sure MJF is signed to a new four year contract starting January 2024. They're just keeping it extremely quiet so that there'll actually be some doubt as to whether MJF will retain or not at the World's End PPV. Then he can take some time off in January and have a big return a few...

Just got to the part where you play as MJ with the taser. How much is left? Totally comical how this untrained 100 pound girl seems more effective at beating up these giant Hunter guys than either of the Spider-Mans are. Holy shit. Is this kind of media the reason why people are okay with men...

Good point about how the lack of effort/spending has been pretty endemic since the beginning, even with Verant. It isn't some new thing with Darkpaw. Maybe the owners of the IP have remained consistent and they keep the budget on a really short leash.

Are these two actually the same guys from EQ?

Most of the thought processing power of the people working on it is being used up on "adapt for MODERN AUDIENCES" and "clap back at racist online trolls!"

Frog coins are kinda no longer missable because enemies can drop them. The final area (Weapon World) drops them like crazy. I went from like 45 to 75 going through that place twice for EXP. Needed EXP endgame because the star leveling tricks no longer work (aka you don't keep your levels when...

I'd like to get into this series, but I have so much stuff I want to get to already. I still have to finish the Xenoblades and Dragon Quests, and I never even got to the Bravely Defaults or SMTs. And this thing has like ten games. Well, in some other lifetime where I didn't fall so far behind on...

@TheNozz Single-handedly keeping this thread fun until the actual game drops.

You know what really rustles my jimmies? The way it refers to both characters as "Spider-Man" in the subtitles. It gets real confusing real fast when playing the game on mute late at night. Why not just call them "Peter Parker" and "Miles Morales"? Oh yeah, because they were making a statement...

Well, without the 200 posts / day Araysar is going to have a lot more free time now for the full-time work and full-time classes and taking care of a family that he does.
