    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The only three stats that exist in a FromSoft game are STR, VIT, and STA in that order. Nothing else matters.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)

    Love the art style, love the presentation, never going to see it and my kids aren't either. They just cannot fucking help themselves. I even KNOW the defense going in "the Turtles are from NYC, there are more MINORITIES there now than white people. In TODAY'S NYC, April would not be white!"...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Well, Immortal was a pay to win cashgrab that I refuse to even read about so if those things exist in DIV, are tradeable to other players, and have no P2W component then it might be ok?

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I know this is two posts in a row, but I wanted to address this specifically. People not picking up items off the ground is a problem POE had created and FLAT OUT REFUSES to address. Do you know how I know that it isn't a problem with the items themselves but with the acquisition of those...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    That has entirely too much to do with POE's bloat and not the currency system itself. If there were only 3 or 4 currencies you wouldn't have that issue since the number of things you can do with them is similarly limited. Honestly, Blizzard wouldn't even have to go that far. They could have...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    How the fuck hard is it for ANY of these new ARPGs to realize that POE's real magic is that they got rid of gold and replaced it with CHOICE. I can save my transmutes to use because they are useful or I can horde them and upgrade them to a different useful item that is also useful OR tradeable...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    He seems jealous that Brett and Heather come off as relatable and even-keeled. They seem like a really smart couple who eschewed academic elitism to teach where and how they wanted to while Eric and his wife just went for the meaningless titles and now lumped in with the group that look down on...

    The White Lotus

    My wife was on show picking duty and she picked this. I hated the first season because every character was a terrible person except the son. Even if the point of the show was to make them all unlikable, I just need some shred of humanity to connect with and got none. Oh, and there was no real...

    Dying Light 2

    As someone that played the shit out of DL 1 and loved it - Is this game worth playing? I don't want to ruin my memories of the first one being excellent for an experience that isn't even half as good.

    Path of Exile

    I am actually shocked at how much choice they have given players in how to limit the content you see in your maps @Khane's blocking strategy mentioned a few pages back has allowed me to farm Expedition with a scarab and passively farm harvest because it shows up in 90%+ of my maps. @Khane is...

    Investing General Discussion

    I fucking hate every single 'financial' writer and department that write articles about revenue/profit with absolutely 0 mention of either profit margin or a chart that shows the companies P&L. It is just a hit piece dressed up as financial news.

    Investing General Discussion

    Just to make sure I follow, in your example above where the price doesn't hit 19 and you keep the stock you make the .28 dividend and keep the .20 strike per share meaning each $18.50 share made you .48 or 2.59% in a single month and you still own the stock?

    Cyberpunk 2077

    So many missed opportunities in this game, like the recorded memories playback. They could have made this game a banger of a detective style mystery game with a ton of hard to find clues inside those memories; instead we get three of them and it holds your hand to find every clue in every layer...

    Rick and Morty

    I think that I would've really enjoyed it if it wasn't the season finale. The President vs. Rick and Morty episodes are usually mindless and f7n but since this was the finale I think everyone was expecting plot development. Rick findings out that he probably has to go kill hundreds of copies of...

    Are you talking about Bahroo? He has a huge, dedicated following and he was discussing with them that he would take Twitch up on the offer but use the money for community giveaways or something. I will tell you that I, a casual Bahroo fan, would not stay around for any amount of ads over 30...

    Path of Exile

    I like Raiz; but fuck that take. If he wants a game that feels like punching yourself in the dick and calls it fun then great. 99.9% of us do not stream/game for a living and don't have that amount of time to dedicate to it.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    While I agree with your line of reasoning in principle I find that it speaks to the mindset of the company and their priorities when they push the monetization over the gameplay. I really thought I was going to buy this and play the campaign because I stopped really playing Path of Exile; but...

    OK, so anyone playing Maurder start in general what is the super early go to for DPS to just get to Act 3? Is it just 2 hander 3 link upgrade when possible and rely on a totem for kiting hard stuff?

    What fucking part of my answer makes it seems like I don't like ARPGs? I fucking LOVE them and I want them to be complicated but fair. The issues I have with all of them is either that they are too fucking braindead (no trading, smart loot, infinitely refundable skill system) or the ones that...

    Yes you can. These games are not competitive; there is no reward for being OP other than that you can clear the game faster and letting your players feel powerful is something that makes them play longer. Many many POE players, myself included, talk about the staying in the league that...

    It is not about acceptance of caster gear dropping for a melee character, it is the problem with time investment. I am not a person that enjoys replaying a campaign over and over just to try different builds; I like playing one build and refining it to the nth degree. I also have less free...

    Well now I wish I never bought this game. Without some sort of auction house or trading interface this just becomes D3 since people are going to complain when they drop INT items on a STR build character and vice-versa. I don't understand how these retarded studios don't just realize that not...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Rogue Traders were usually very wealthy families that were looking to go from the 1% of owning a few planets and a fleet to defend them to the.001% of owning a whole subsector or more. Their problem was that all the known subsectors are already owned so they go to the Imperium and ask for a...

    Twitch.tv

    They were asking some huge streamers to do 6 min/hr. That seems like a death sentence. A medium-ish streamer I watch, DolphinChemist, was offered a pretty heft (for him) sum but required 8 minutes per hour of ads. Hell, I would probably not mind as much if they made the ads smaller so that I...

    Fallout

    I completely agree; what I said is that the writers' rooms of this generation cannot craft a story around anything but Western progressive values being the default values that are 'good,' 'right,' and 'moral' even though the Fallout universe eats those values alive. So we are going to get...

    Fallout

    They have so much unused stuff to explore.....and they are going to fuck it up by going with the dumbest, laziest, and most rehashed plotlines imaginable. There will also be a heaping ton of STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS and a bunch of the same "end of the world morality" shit that was handled...

    Dude, the penalty for choosing the wrong class, the wrong ascendency, or the wrong gear to buy or make is huge and doesn't manifest itself fully until you have invested enough time or currency into that particular playthrough that starting over feels really bad. Also, @Penance and @mkopec...

    Complete noobs? It takes a ton of time and trial/error to understand the game mechanics. I have hundreds of hours in this game and still use 'literal paint-by-numbers' lists because of how complex this game is. It also takes dedication since you could have had a great handle on the game...

    Oh you sweet summer child; even when you are attacking super fast you can be stunned simply by the amount of hits that you are taking. And when you get stunned out of an attack you just fail to kill those monsters who get to attack again and possibly stun you. It is a vicious cycle.

    It may be a retreat from his earlier, more radical position, but he is not sorry and he does not admit he is wrong. Instead, he says that he must balance his "correct" view of what the idiot public needs to see (DEI) vs. the idiot public that he needs to pay his salary. He only regrets that...
