    Look at this Dallas snob. The second you get outside of Houston proper the county is purple and every mile out you go from there it gets more red. @Sanrith Descartes you would probably want to look at The Woodlands or Cinco Ranch (Katy) as your destinations. Both are nice but it really comes...

    Then the North Texas burbs are not a place to look at a starter house. At those prices it would be more attractive to switch jobs, make less, and move to a new city/state but pay less in housing than to bite the bullet and overpay for a house that comes with problems (and all 20 year old houses...

    It is hard to blame @Tmac for not saving aggressively during those years unless he comes back and tells us that his parents and family hounded him to do it and he ignored them. I say this coming from a lower-middle class (half the time upper-lower class) family/neighborhood where exactly 0 of...

    If the developer was smart they were talking with the city/county to see what sort of changes they could get made to the schools to attract more buyers. It is a weird chicken-egg scenario as the more people buy in that attractive part the better the school will get as more active parents get...

    Maybe all of this will have people rethinking that they need 4000 square feet for a family of 3. A 'starter house' should be 2 or 3 bed and 2 baths at the most but there are none of those being built anymore. The current idea of a starter house being 4 bed 3 bath and an extra room...

    I cannot believe it has already been half a decade since that retard got onstage and accidentally created the "don't you all have phones?" meme.

    It is because they are mostly a company of mediocre (at best) individuals and that level of talent cannot develop or balance something as complex as a skill tree.

    If they don't have: 1.) A deeply customizable skill tree/system 2.) An exciting crafting system 3.) A near infinite and interesting end game Then they have already lost.

    I was about to tell @Khane to get out of here with his no horse bullshit but ranged kiting on the horse? Are you playing fucking Nobunaga's Ambition up in here?

    Thimbleweed Park was great so you know he can still knock it out of the park.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It is just a gigantic game, and most of the fun is seeing something and trying to get to it instead of just having a fucking waypoint and not bothering to stop on the way. It was truly a joy to complete.

    The problem with Waterfowl Dance is twofold: 1.) The first flurry is the most damaging and also the hardest to dodge since she can start it when you are quite close or (often in my case) mid jump or swing. It is uninterruptable, you have to be moving away from her right when she starts or...

    Finished this morning. I played the whole game as a STR Colossal 2 hander only and it worked exceedingly well.... up until Haligtree. After pounding my head against Melania for 2 1/2 days and over 50 attempts I broke down and used my first spirit summoning (Mimic) and beat her first try. The...

    First try of the day on Melania. Roll the wrong way on her first combo and she heals to full. Stand still for reset. Edit. I broke down and used the Mimic Tear for the first time ever. I went and got it to +10 and one shot her. I feel like a failure.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Of course you're right. However, for the first time in something like 120 hours of playing this game I am not having fun. I concede that I could just get better and be perfect and that she is an optional hidden boss and is supposed to be hard. I still said the game is 10/10. That doesn't...

    This fight is my Pontiff Sulyvhan of Elden Ring. It is physically impossible to roll/dodge her multi attacks.

    Bro, fuck this fight. I cannot even get her past 50%. For some reason this fight is just fuck starting me. Even when I have a good run her water dancer shit either kills me or heals her to full. Infuriating.

    Milenia steals back health. What fucking trash. I am still rating this game 10/10 and this is, admittedly, a secret area boss; but that just seems like cheese and not good design.

    Whoever said the Haligtree is AIDS was right. It's like "Congratulations on finding the hidden zone! Here are 12 punches to your balls."

    This is the first FromSoft game that I made a conscious effort to use my soul gaining consumables any time I was at 50+% to a level and wanted to try a new area or boss without having to obsess about dying. It has been so much more fun than past experiences that I have to assume that is what...

    After using the Zwiehander for the entire game and getting it to +23, I switched to the Ruins Greatsword +10 today and it is fucking S scaling with Str. I am now at over 800 damage and chunk all bosses. I bet Margott took lass than 20 total hits.

    How about the fact that the first death was actually two deaths at the same instant? Also, there is a ton of evidence that a comet hit the world eons ago and it had life on it.

    Ok, so Mogh healing up to 75% and then getting a fucking limitless range on his move set in the second phase is some horseshit.

    This is done by giant companies in tech all the time. Angel invest in a wide swath of potential home runs and then acquire the ones that get 75% of the way there. This allows the good ideas to grow without being bought out too early but allows the giant companies to capture a ton of revenue by...
