    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...

    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...

    Path of Exile

    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.

    Fucking TCU, at least when OU went to the Big XII Championship as the higher seed you knew that 95% of the time they were going to get it done. Way to cost the Big XII 10 million in revenue.

    Watching Caleb William wing a 40 yard completion to a receiver whose defender slipped while being chased out of the pocket on one working leg made me fucking jealous as shit. He is twice the QB on one leg than Dillon Gabriel is 100% healthy. That being said, I hate watched the SHIT out of...

    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...

    Hey guys! OU grad here but I really haven't watched much college football since I graduated about 20 years ago. Is Bob Stoops still our coach? Is 6-6 a decent record? Watching a game with over 1200 combined yards and 100 points is really exciting!

    This is disingenuous since Iger's term tracks exactly with the dominance of the MCU. So he made one decision that coincided with the end of the golden age of cinemas and then he left when they were at their peak and there were already trends that they were never going to reach those heights...
