    Weight Loss Thread

    Survive the next decade - we're at a point where obesity is (sorta) solved via chemicals. With AI and other advances, cancer is probably also on the chopping block. Mike Isratael, a youtube PhD guy in sports science or kinesiology or whatever, basically laid out what is a reliable sort of...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah; the key was to drop their Brave to zero using the Brave Down ability from Beowulf. I think you also had to pick a special character to do it to otherwise there was a pretty good chance after the fight the person with super low/zero brave would leave your squad. Or spend some time after...

    EVE Online

    I've been getting a shitload of EVE online adds in my various feeds over the last 3-4 months. And it's never even remotely indicative of what the gameplay actually is (I played briefly; kind of lost interest in spreadsheet simulator in space pretty quick) with super action heavy ads. Wonder...

    JRPGs

    Wait there's a base game for that? I thought it was just the PS2 and Steam releases, which should include the special characters? NM - just googled and apparently they're DLC... on a 20 year old game? Waddafug Atlus

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Honestly all I remember about the dungeon to get Zodiark is basically standing still and then having the token Move-Find person getting hit with all the Brave Down (or Faith Down? honestly don't remember) abilities from Beowulf (had to look his name up; Phazael said Weigraf but my brain told me...

    Man you could murder a family there with such ease... I mean, that looks incredibly tranquil and secluded. (I know, they were the heroes and not murderers, but google was coming up limp on my searches for 'secluded cabin murder' haha)

    The D&D thread

    Perkins and Crawford to the queerpg from Critical Role. Crawford I feel is probably a net positive for Wizards losing, but Perkins has been around and worked on a lot of the pre-woke stuff. Critical Role likely threw them a lot of money to jump ship, to add legitimacy to their woke game for...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Honestly there are so many cool characters with interesting abilities/etc in the game, but for almost all of them you kind of get them when you're either already OP or working towards it and their abilities just don't really match up. Like the Dragon and her Boy; both cool characters and the...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Mustadio (again, i'm going off a memory from probably 20+ years ago) had some fairly low hit rate cool abilities but nothing special. Most people went with Chemist for him because they could use Guns and they had all the item effects so you could just run around phoenix downing people vs...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Honestly I think there's a much simpler explanation for the longevity/relative stability of ancient things that still exist. They're made of stone. Stone takes a long, long time to wear/wither away. Roman concrete is still around and visible, because it is both stone and a bit of technology...

    She must have been a later era food network star; from a glance I am pretty sure I wouldn't have liked her food. Either way, never happy when someone dies =/

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    edit: Orlandu It's been decades but I seem to remember Mustadio basically being brokespec forever, even into the final battles. Give him break abilities and concentration, and you can kind of just shoot everyone's weapons out of their hands while also using don't act/don't move at will. If...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah; I think the whole bundle was 1 game, two controllers, and two memory cards. For like 400? It was like their only pre-order deal. Or maybe more. Honestly it's been a long ass time; can't remember haha.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I think when I purchased my PS2 on launch day it required only one game; Software Etc in Redding, CA. Went with Tekken Tag and it was objectively the superior choice at the time I think haha.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Windwaker was like a year later. Not sure if Luigi's Mansion was a console seller or needed really for that release. I think the PS3 initial releases with the backwards compatibility is probably the most recent (GC was in 2001, PS3 was in like 2006? I think). Every other console/handheld...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm trying to think of the last time being a super early adopter actually paid off when it comes to consoles. Maybe PS2? Perhaps Gamecube? It certainly hasn't been any of the other consoles/handhelds since. Oh wait, PS3 with the built in backwards compatibility that they engineered out after...

    That's gotta be a pretty big hole. I had a hole in my lung (33% deflation/fluid filled) and basically had to be kept on a ventilator that was actively sucking the fluid out so my lung could be re-inflated and the hole basically cauterized shut. Was a four hour procedure and then 4 days laying...

    My local arcades were pretty trash in Redding, CA when I was a kid. it was like... the Mt. Shasta mall, and then whatever you would find at rando pizza parlors/etc. Interestingly enough, I found out recently (like three years ago) that Shasta Pizza (a place that I went to almost daily) had a...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah would definitely agree. There was literally just a couple of battles in the early game before the end of the first chapter that were incredibly overtuned and if you were playing even semi-normally (ie, not grinding until you had Ninjas unlocked before Dorter Trade City) were just...

    Watchmen (2009)

    I loved the movie, which made me read the comics (I fell out of love with comics/graphic novels when I was still a young teenager, so never got into the more cerebral works) and I get why both endings make sense. The comics are awesome, and I think the movie did a great job paying homage while...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    It's funny, because they wouldn't even need to do any sort of balance work or otherwise if they simply had a popup that said "Saving here will lock you into a series of fights. It is recommended that you make a backup save before continuing." Boom; problem solved. Newblars make a second save...

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Since most of the WNBA is kind of inept comparatively, I could see that actually being a legit strat for eating up the clock if you are ahead and there's not a lot left in the game. Granted it's kind of unintentional - she's just a really bad shooter.

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Honestly it's ESPN's fault. Their stake in the WNBA means they have to try and amp up the sport in any way possible. The college "rivalry" where Angel's team beat Caitlin's team (even though Caitlin carried the team in the game) was basically one game and a viral moment that ESPN cranked up to...

    Prior to seeing his name in the list I honestly thought McGee had retired like... years ago. Have no idea how I had missed several fights of his (losing most) over the last 3 years. Good on Usman; I don't see him retaking the belt or anything but it's good to see him back in the win column.

    Computer Issues

    Yeah definitely check for LEDs on the mobo first. Swap cable to onboard graphics input (if it isn't already) and see if anything comes out. If it's a thermal thing (frequent reboots usually are) then you would still get something on the monitor like the BIOS trying to kick until the...

    Dune Awakening

    Just curious, but is this a case of hard counters? Ie, this missile battery armed Onrithopter is just going to murder your non-anti-air equipped Ornithopter 10/10 times unless the other guy goes linkdead in the middle of combat? Like oldschool warriors spec'd into improved revenge fighting...

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    My issue with a lot of the narratives around fixing is that the refs in NBA games are some of the worst in televised sports history. NFL is the only reasonable contender, and they are miles below the "It's not travelling until I think it is, regardless of steps." or "That's clearly a shooting...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    Reminds me of Ja Morant getting in trouble twice for flashing a gun in public places/social media, when he's worth 10s of millions. Why, dude? At least in Ja's case he's like 24 or something; AB has been kind of crazy ever since he left the Steelers, which has been a minute. I mean he was...

    Ancient Civilizations

    This is probably a pretty easily debunked take, but I've always had a problem with archeological finds and histories that just get labeled as "fact" at some point and people avoid trying to have discourse about. Not that I'm saying Hancock is right or anything, or that the pyramids were clearly...

    Didn't the History of the World sequel series kind of suck? Mel's a legend but he's also like 98 years old.

    Bakery I used to live near would have fresh lasagna strips (somehow actually harder to work with than the Barilla dried stuff, but whatever) that was like twice the length of my pan at the time. I ended up doing funny 'braids' of pasta for the layers vs. the single stripe method. It actually...

    Yeah looking at that recipe it's a shitload of meat layer haha. Personally I'm more a fan of a thin layer of meat followed by layers of ricotta and basil, and then béchamel on top before you hit it with the next pasta layer. (I don't type special characters; that bechamel thing was an...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I'm interested in this but I actively do not want to playtest/beta this thing. If it makes it through to an actual release situation I definitely want to go in slightly blind. After being in dozens of betas over the years, I'm done with it for MMOs. It drastically impacts the initial experience.
