    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Me: My computer is so old I can only play old games on it. Also me: why should I spend thousands of dollars on a spiffy new system when all I play are old games? The struggle is real!

    Yeah, you buy them per character, also, they don't go all the way up. I think the cloak maxes out at lvl 75 or so and the pocket item at 99. Honestly, I don't think they're worth it. If you're going to be buying something like this, just get the level boost.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I hear they aim to map out most of the areas of Middleearth that are mentioned in LotRO and the Hobbit, so there's much to do yet. The community is very mature and helpful. If you're looking for a game with good lore, good visuals and music, and a laid back mature community then this is the game...

    MS Flight Simulator 2020

    I remember playing one of the first MS Flight sims on my Dad's 386 back in the day. Shit has come a long way since then. As an avid player of Euro Truck Simulator 2 I keep wondering how that game might look in the future. Drive on Google Roads? Live traffic and weather simulation? The ability to...

    The D&D thread

    Seeing as Tolkien imagined a lot of LotR during WWII, I seem to remember that the main inspiration for both Mordor and Orcs were Germany and Hitler's legions.

    Wait.. wait.. you want the Music Industry to adopt a technology that users want to pay for, that would be mutually beneficial to both parties, and everyone would win by, instead of suing everything that moves, and living as if it's still the 80s? I love your optimism man! :)

    Lord of the Rings Online

    it is very easy to over level, especially if you do all the quests in each zone. And to be honest, this is one of those games where you want to do that. This isn't WoW where the "real game" starts at max level. But you can get this item in the store that stops XP gain, so you won't over level...

    I feel like that article would have made more sense had it been from the Babylon Bee, or The Onion.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    If you want the game to look even prettier then there are a few good ENB settings you can download from the Internet. I don't do it myself, since one of the problems is that they affect EVERYTHING, including the UI, and I don't like that, but many people use it to spiffy up the game even more.

    The legendary changes are on the list of "things to do". But no further info yet as far as I can see. I do believe they are scheduled for this year though.

    Servers are back up and seem fine. Maybe they finally got some new hardware lol.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    When you have a fond memory of something that happened "a couple of years ago" but when you do the math you realise it was more than 10 years ago.

    Yeah, the servers shat themselves a few days ago and no-one knows what's going on. DDO which is made by the same dev company is unaffected. As for the future, the player base has been increasing, and the have years of expansions planned.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Shouldn't be too bad, especially if one can duo as a tank/healer. If you both go one tank one healer you'll have no problems finding people to join your groups. They "buffed" characters a while back meaning mobs and instances are easier, so you usually don't even need a full group to do an...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    This game is yuuuge, but it's not without it's problems. Generally, if you like PVE, slow levelling (aka the "journey" as opposed to the "destination"), and Tolkien lore, then you might like this. If you don't, then stay away.

    I don't know about the age thing on Twitch. I think most of the streamers I watch the most of are my age or older, or at least 30+. I don't have time for 20 something shenanigans as I might have done 10-15 years ago. Here are some of my favourite: Squirrel - A Brit about 60 or so, mostly...

    Interesting, Non Political News

    I have a friend who microdoses LSD regularly. Enough to give him a vibe, but not so much he can't work. He's a programmer and says it also helps there. He's offered to help me try it and says it could help with my mood but I haven't had the balls to do it yet. I'm worried I'd be one of those...

    I think you need a pretty strong personality/mental shield to be able to cope with streaming for long periods. One of my favorite YT Let's Players, Arumba07, used to do fun and interesting runs of CK2, then EU4 on YT. He became popular, getting ~50k+ views per video, which earned him more money...
