    Path of Exile

    One of the recent leagues taught me that I despise the trap/mines mechanic and will never play it again (arc mines to level 90). This league confirmed that I still don't like the summoner mechanics as well. I am not saying you can ONLY do the league with summoners, but it is easy if you do. I...

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    Ermagerd that point at 0:47 where Scorpion starts his jump and the editor leaves a millisecond too much in and he looks like an idiot. I nearly spit out my coffee and had to rerun it hahahaha.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Well, owning your home is crucial for ease of finances when you retire (IF you retire I guess haha) so consider yourself a success. I both hate my home and won't have it paid off when I hope to retire in 15 years or less, and the local home market sank into the shitter significantly since i...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    When you define the quality of your life experiences by the accumulation of chronic injuries. Let me see: Chronic lower back issues from one shitty-aligned shoulder press rep in the mid 90s. Shredded rotator cuffs from blocking giant linemen. Seemingly steady Achilles strains from too much...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Over the last while I have had to look up YEET and YOLO. Fuck me. That being said I said the word meme to a coworker the other day and they had no idea what that was. So there are far worse people than us.

    Borderlands 3

    This is one of my RPG/gaming gripes/pet peeves. Making quest rewards scalable to your level means everyone will game the system and just put them off until the end. Why developers continue to include this in their games amazes me. If you put a quest in a specific area, fix the fucking reward...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah - I work in the downtown core of a major urban center, so the commute would fucking kill me if I lived outside the city limits - this city's road system was designed for 1/3 of its current population so traffic is perpetually bad. Also, I am divorced so proximity to family and all that...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I have a neighbor on one side that is nearly a shut-in that I've seen three times since moving into this house several years ago. He's the kind of guy who actually mows his lawn right after a severe downpour - that shit is creepy as fuck. On my other side is a lovely older couple that wanted to...

    I'm not envious, YOU are envious. Sigh.

    Rambo V

    This is why we can't have nice things anymore. Ford has been phoning it in for 2 decades now, how could this be remotely successful? He almost ruined Bladerunner 2 for me because he came to the set in jeans and a T-shirt and said "wardrobe, we don't need no stinking wardrobe!"

    Uncut Gems (2019)

    Damn. I hate Sandler on principle (mostly on the principle that he's made mad bank on taking vacations with his buddies and making crappy ensemble comedies with them while doing so) but this actually looks good, and he looks good in it.

    Blood Machines (2019)

    This looks like an episode of Lexx on steroids had sex with Mandy. I am intrigued. Edit - I said Dex lol. I am shit at pop culture.

    Rambo V

    This is what I was talking about earlier. This is every fucking movie that is not an Art House piece of shit nowadays. As a bit of a tangent, probably one of my fav Stallone movie remains Get Carter. It was an actually well done, dark-ish revenge flick where he is a bit of a good bad guy. Or...

    Rambo V

    "Trumpian". It's a fucking adjective, adverb, noun, now? Seriously. First they came for our games. Now they have taken our movie reviews. You literally cannot trust reviews AT ALL anymore. The discrepancies between critics and viewers on Rotten Tomatoes in almost every recent movie...

    Borderlands 3

    Can one reduce themselves to the humor level of Borderlands after such a cosmopolitan, history-ridden trip? THAT is the question. From the Coliseum to "rip his dick off" may cause mental whiplash.

    Cube World

    Plebs. Heh. Good one. I guess if we come in late we will have to eat ketchup sandwiches for a week to afford it. You sound like a shill, although I know you aren't. But you guys inadvertently answered my above question, albeit in the most retarded way possible.

    It (2017)

    IIRC IT came during King's heavy coke stage, where he pumped out massive tomes that were erratically paced but good reads. The guy can shape a great image in your mind, it's his greatest strength. He's not going to make you cry or think about the secrets of the universe, but he's going to keep...

    Rambo V

    Jesus fucking pogo-stick Christ. THERE HAS TO BE A BAD GUY! Stop being so narcissistic for fuck sakes. Also - the movie is not being made for you if your "race" is the bad guy and you take offense to it. Get over it, and move on. Ever watch a Chinese-made movie? Almost every fucking one...

    Cube World

    I seem to recall being a bit interested in this a while ago but doing some shallow research and noping out. It still intrigues me. I am now way to lazy to do ANY research so the Cole's notes on shenanigans? Also, in the middle of the video the character gathers up a bunch of bees and kites...

    Borderlands 3

    As an aside, I reinstalled Borderlands 1 over the weekend, the GOTY edition I never played, and it feels like difficulty progression was changed: I hit several places VERY early where I was getting my ass handed to me - and I do not recall this AT ALL on my many previous playthroughs. Anyway, I...

    Path of Exile

    The PACE of play has constantly increased with character power creep and rotating metas. The strata of things you have to do in the midst of all that PACE has increased dramatically. More RNG on loot. More master mechanics. Crafting linked to scavenger hunts and master mission RNG loot...

    Rate Movies You've Recently Watched.

    Black 47. Pretty decent revenge flick during the Irish Potato famine. I am a fan of Hugo Weaving so had to watch. 7/10. White Chamber - 0/10. I made it maybe 15 minutes in but the social commentary about racism in the UK and other progressive bullshit that started "the war" was just too...

    Path of Exile

    <open can of worms.gif> It is a "discussion" that has been ongoing since trade was forum listing and dropping stuff on the ground in The Coast and a third party stepped in to try and improve the activity. The original "Trade Manifesto" (puke) made it muddily clear that Chris Wilson thinks...

    The Fanatic (2019)

    So, based on the last page or so, this movie is just a gold mine for memes. You KNOW it was not made that way, but it sure is ending up there. At this rate it is going to be a fucking underground classic. Lots of lulz being had, at least.

    Hustlers (2019)

    Ell-o-Ell the majority of people on this forum are, without question, the last demographic this movie is targeted towards. I am interested if the demographic it IS oriented towards puts out sufficient entertainment capital to sustain this type of movie. I guess "going to a movie" is largely...

    Path of Exile

    I actually resemble this. I am level 88, and my tool-tip DPS caps out at around 90 k with everything running. I am pretty much 100% on blight IN maps unless you get one of those branches that spawns on top of the pump before you take note of it, which happens to me occasionally. But Blight...

    Borderlands 3

    If you think this is not prevalent in a swathe of industries, you are wrong. Early on in my career I sold my soul, sweat, blood and tears to a small oil and gas company - worked intense 7 day weeks, 12+ hour days, on call 24/7, to help set it all up for great things and create the groundwork...

    Borderlands 3

    Hence my point on the continued employment in a failure state. I understand it reflects on them, and everyone wants something in which they have a hand to succeed. That is the tightrope we walk here - how to punish the idiotic figureheads and SJW taint while still rewarding the everyman...

    Borderlands 3

    The problem here is that the financial success, and the accolades earned therein, generally goes directly to the shitheels,,,,,,,,and the artists and programmers don't get shit. They also rarely get any kind of recognition or exposure. And continued financial success enables the shitheels and...

    Path of Exile

    What the.......... Am I crazy but wasn't it supposed to be far more imminent than that? I was actually thinking this X'mas but the fact that we are 3.8 clearly that was dumb. But more like April 2020 seemed likely. That is a UGE push. How are they going to bridge this gap? Shit I hope it...

    Path of Exile

    They are [.........] close to understanding the MTX market, but that remaining gap really gets them in trouble by times. This was a fucking stupid idea without guarantee of no dupes. Shit they should have included some sort of lower chance of dupe algorithms in their stupid boxes after all I...

    Joker (2019)

    Out of all the commentary I connect the most with this last statement. I am not a comic guy, I was more Conan and WWII comics in the 70s and 80s than superheroes. But I still follow casually and enjoy the movie genre. I think the Joker as a primal force of Chaos ala The Dark Knight trilogy is...

    Cyclone, or melee in general? I have a necromancer waiting in the wings, just wanted to try it. Like doing Legion with a Cleave build.

    Path of Exile

    Okay so I just did my first Blighted map, a T4 Lookout, and objectively it may have been the worst experience I have ever had playing PoE. I believe my first several experiences in the lab have been buried deep enough that I no longer remember them, so take that for what it is worth. In...

    Just to update my previous post - cyclone DOES get better with level (as a reply stated). Also relevant decent weapon, but the gem level is key. Plus some additional skill points in Duelist/Marauder AOE range points that I THINK are new to the area? I know I didn't have them in my build last...

    Greedfall -- Colonizers vs Magic Injuns

    I haven't logged onto Steam, but yeah the "An Item on your Steam Wishlist" e-mail says 64.99 (Canadian, I reiterate).

    Greedfall -- Colonizers vs Magic Injuns

    Huh, apparently I have this on my wishlist because I got the release announcement on e-mail. I have to say it looks intriguing but the $65 Can price tag requires a wait for me. I despise all this social commentary in gaming - fuck off my hobby you rejects. Sure, colonialism, with summoned...

    Underrail: Expedition

    I love how SSethTzeentach does a review and the game shoots to the top of the Steam sales chart. That guy has serious influence. He got me on Starsector. I also love his reviews. The one on that multiplayer space station sim had me in stitches.

    The Fanatic (2019)

    Okay, put aside the fact that Travolta has entered the Nicolas Cage era of his career. So he plays this character as some Asbergers/Autistic obsessed maniac who pushes it too far? Certainly paves the way for diversity and inclusion and understanding of mental illness. Should we boycott him...
