    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Wasn't necessarily "listening' but for my drum practice today I played: War Pigs Iron Man Paranoid Sweet Leaf Mr. Crowley Mama, I'm Coming Home No More Tears Might've missed one or two. I can't remember which thread I posted it in, but for his solo Rock and Roll HOF induction, a bunch of major...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    It's funny, when I posted Madsen died, everyone was like "yeah, but look how he lived." Meanwhile you've got Ozzy and Keith Richards.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Damn, that sucks. Saw the Sabbath reunion tour in '99. One of the greats. Glad he made it into the Hall of Fame before dying (twice).

    Dune Awakening

    I agree that getting an ornithopter feels incredibly rewarding, but that's also about the time the game started to fall off for me. Before it, the game world felt challenging and vast. After it, you just start checking boxes for finishing things.

    Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026)

    Probably just trying to do a horror movie cliche. Like "Wes Craven's blah blah blah" or...I dunno, that's the only one I can think of immediately. I'm sure there are others.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yeah, you should be able to just sign up and download. Wondering if there's a forum guild, on which server, and if anyone else is starting from lvl 1 to group up?

    Harry Potter

    That might be the only option where it'd make sense to keep it a secret. I stand corrected.

    Harry Potter

    That seems like a strategy that worked 30 years ago when the only source you might have would be Ain't It Cool News. In 2025 it will 100% be leaked. Why bother? It's not like whoever was cast is going to be some big shocking moment. Like, who actually gives a shit?

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    You're probably right, but they would've been smart to release it closer to the show. By the time they release the game, the show will have long since been cancelled.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    My problem is even though I can poopsock all day long, since I'm retired, I still don't want to sit there tied to my PC because you can't take a 20 minute break.

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    Don't worry, a few years from now people here will be "sure, it's $90 and they haven't made a good game in decades, but this is a day one buy for me." And then they'll say "well I got 20 hours out of it and that's a good value at under $5 an hour!" A year or two after release they'll finally...

    Huh, well that's a nice QOL feature I suppose. So it's available to non-casters?

    Yeah, I just didn't have the patience for it. I figured it'd definitely go up, but I thought it might settle around $40-50. No big deal though, I only had my AMC remnants in it, and even if I'd held until now would've only been worth about $3500.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Adrullan really scratched an itch, and it seems like it and MnM have a lot in common. But it seems like every single thing I read about MnM, or video I watch, and the game just seems like a fucking pain in the ass to play with a shit ton of "realism" inserted that just makes things...not fun...

    Dune Awakening

    My thing is still, there's no reward system in place for PVP. It's just PVP for the sake of PVP. If I'm a PVE player, what's the incentive to engage in PVP whatsoever? I don't mean venturing into PVP areas, I mean actually doing PVP. In fact, the carrot here is to actively avoid PVP as much as...

    I fucking hope so. I've been in total market funds forever, and for the last half decade they just feel like a drag on my portfolio. Kept considering switching to an S&P or QQQ type fund, but figured the smaller guys would eventually get their due.

    All I know about Wyoming is they have a "mud season." Not sure if it hits as far west as you're looking, but it sounded miserable. Oh, and the winds.

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Well I enjoyed this. Bummed it's likely not only years out from release, but probably many months until another test. Almost made it to 8 on war-wizard, which is a bummer because I think it really starts to open up with dual wield. I spent a butt load of time on the crafting though. I like the...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    In fairness, it seems like the only games that still do monthly subs are ancient MMO's. Somehow nearly every game for the past decade has managed to pay for server costs and continuous development without them. It made sense 25 years ago when hosting online servers was costly. In 2025 it's a...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Probably won't get a response by the time it's too late, but which guildmaster gives this? I'm really struggling at lvl 2 to find mobs that are actually lvl 2. This has a steep curve where most lvl 3 shit will rock me, and lvl 1's give crap exp.

    Weird, I just finished and I thought after about episode 4 it just got more and more ridiculous (episode 7 notwithstanding). Otherwise the show was pretty good. Think we watched it in under a week. Actually, the other massive, glaring issue I had was, you're the President and have your pick...

    Dune Awakening

    That's pretty funny. I put my base on the D6 island because it was next to a large spice crater. A day later I decided I was done with the game and tore it down. Reading the subreddit for this game it seems like Tuesday or Wednesday of this week the game really fell apart. Inventory bugs with...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    There's no fucking chance. Just look at Steam charts for players and if the numbers they're claiming were legit, it'd make EverQuest one of the most popular games being played, every single year, since its creation. Cracking 10k concurrent puts you in the top 100 most of the time.

    That's pretty nuts. The first time we went camping at Zion, we were probably 50 feet from the Virgin River and maybe 10 feet above it. The river during the day was barely moving and maybe a foot deep and 4-5 feet across. Tons of rain north of it one day, and we got woken up in the middle of the...

    Eh, stopped reading when they started talking about how the tariffs were going to fuck us. It's already a talking point that went into the shitter, as none of those negative impacts have materialized. They then go on to use those as a prediction that GDP will be lower because of increased costs...

    You're delusional. They don't owe you or any of the players shit. You keep crying about legacy and stewardship like they inherited some sacred artifact and not a fucking video game. Not only that, but if we're being honest, a pretty meaningless video game. Yes, it holds a very special place for...

    You seem upset. Did you just assume they would support the game indefinitely? How do you suggest they go about attracting new players to a 26 year old game? Honestly, what course of action do they have besides just milking it for more cash? There isn't some new generation out there just waiting...

    You just said you can't fix it, but then "let's not pass the mess to our children." What the fuck do you even mean? There's no choice but to fuck the next generations, since if we're not actually going to lower the deficit (which means not even attempting to lower the debt), it means as you...

    Pretty much. But Trump likes to spend money while crying about the deficit (kind of like a politician now). When we can't even get Trump to cut spending and this is now his 3rd or 4th spending bill in the multi-trillions, I'd say it's a lost cause. Just hope we die before the entire system...

    Most of those points seem to prohibit an individual from connecting to the server using an EQ client, but the server itself is using the emulated version which, as someone stated, is 20 years in the making and at this point entirely separate.
