    Life extension- let’s play EQ1 and keep socking into 2100

    Pics plx. Had a GF with a high libido for many years (incidentally including the years where I drank alcohol), maybe that also contributed to my not aging as fast.

    Life extension- let’s play EQ1 and keep socking into 2100

    Anecdotally, I think it probably did. I didn't drink much of anything until I was 26, then drank regularly yet socially, and then completely ceased drinking at 32. Now I'm 40 and almost nobody thinks I'm over age 28 unless they see me close-up in some good light (then they might say...low to mid...

    Spring 2024 Anime Thread

    When does it become convoluted bullshit? In the manga? Looks like the 90's show is like...Volumes 3 through 9 of the manga or something like that, and it's up to 35 volumes now. Show really is just the intro. I assume it's ending soon from where it is now.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    TBH I feel like this game has a multiverse storyline that nobody really asked for. I get it just fine but it's so played-out. Like they saw what Marvel was haphazardly building with Kang the Conqueror and decided to make their own version of it.

    Spring 2024 Anime Thread

    Just recently watched the Berserk series (90's version) for the first time. What a tremendous series... until you get to the end and realize it was just the intro to a much larger story and the show ends right when the "real story" begins. It's basically a ten-hour infomercial for the manga...

    Car Insurance / Home Insurance

    So my car insurance company Geico unceremoniously dropped me without warning because I missed a letter from them asking if I ever did rideshare (so they could jack up my rates, of course). I call them today like "I have before, but not in a while, sorry I missed a mail from you, can we just...

    I got the EXP Up materia, didn't realize it affected everyone. That's cool. Yeah, one of these months I'll do the rest of the plat. Sounds like Hard is the last thing to do.

    Any advice on equipment that resembles Guts from Berserk? Mainly need a weapon that resembles his giant sword. Gonna try a Guts playthrough for the DLC. Been tooling around with Guts playthroughs in some of the older games. Demon Souls has the Dragon Bone Smasher, Dark Souls has the Greatsword...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah back in Souls 2 I noticed that I was better off sticking to the back of a boss' foot than trying to get distance on them. One of the many things you have to learn with Soulsborne that are different from how you play everything else. Most of the difficulty people have getting into this...

    -30 costumes available at launch Damn, now we're talking, I'm sure it'll have a bunch of looks I like more than the default. They're probably gonna all be microtransactions though. -No microtransactions Wait what? Well this just moved back to being a "buy at launch" for me.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think Cloud can be taken out of the main battle party once you beat the game and are going back through with chapter select. However he's always the lead character in the field no matter what, which is pretty lame for anyone hoping to have Tifa in the lead and look at her all the time instead...

    The 1-60 grind is gonna be real hard-core, yeah. Only had to do that once before, on Selo, and that was with both Velious/Luclin unlocked and I think we had an EXP bonus that weekend as well. Here, no Velks, no Grieg, no Acrylia, etc etc. Chardok and Seb are gonna be people's options and 55-60...

    Oh damn, it's two random? Yeah one normal and one random would be $$$. Gonna be harder to get a specific drop focused on. Like prenerf Guise is gonna probably take a lot more camping of nameds of the right level and getting other unneeded drops. Then again with everything droppable, maybe...

    A few thoughts: -Glad they're doing a Mischief, but they're gonna want an overflow server right away. -Kunark start is a good call and will liven things up quite a bit. The launch is gonna be a hell of a grind, time to re-up my Adderall script. -Tormax is DOA and it's a shame they wasted such...

    As the one raid SK/puller who doesn't use MQ or SEQ and has to compete regardless, I'm fine if they go balls to the wall with anti-cheat code to even things out.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I still like using the RoB and even dual-wielding it (too bad I can't get two during the DLC replay since it's NG-only). Corpse Plier is a lot like Mortal Draw in Sekiro, which is similarly outstanding.

    JRPGs

    Agreed. At this point I really want to do some Souls strength builds now that I've seen Berserk. Kinda given up on keeping up with new games. Eiyuden is something I've wanted for years but we'll see when I even get around to that, might just have to live vicariously through other people's posts.

    JRPGs

    I really wanted to give UO a whirl and had it on my agenda, but it looks too time-consuming. Still glad there's a modern Ogre Battle. Will probably check it out eventually when time permits. "Smash or pass" probably depends on how much free time you've got.

    Probably a 1/100 shot but are you the similar-named iksar SK from 2000 Karana (Terris-Thule maybe)? Guy stood up for me a lot when I was a dumb kid making dumb kid mistakes. Oh yeah, the PoP signet. That's just one of 3 multi-part tradeskill quests required to even start the Artisan's Prize...

    I always really liked this particular dragon model. It's wirey and creepy, perfect for somebody like Trakanon or Zlandicar. And yeah all of the "major" dragons in Kunark/Velious have this model except Phara Dar. Later in SoD you go back in time and see Trakanon in his original form and he's...

    Dark Souls

    Watched Berserk (90's series) over the last few Mondays with friends and just wrapped it up tonight. Wow, what an incredible story. And it ends right when it gets good, too. Like "read the manga for the remaining 80% of the story lol". Saw an insane amount of similarities with the Souls series...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Alright that's pretty hot. I'll shut up about Eve now. Reminds me of how the sexy dress in Elden Ring also significantly increased your aggro radius because it drew a lot more attention from mobs. Which the game didn't tell you. It's a stealth difficulty spike. So the first time I played the...

    @Zaide Listening to the Permafrost episode (LINK HERE) and this is some really interesting stuff so far. Apologies if any of this gets gone over later in the video, as I've only seen the first 30ish minutes so far. In any case, all this time I thought Nagafen and Vox were Kerafyrm's parents...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Cross-posted from another thread: Went through several of them the last couple weeks and EQ runs like crap on all of them, though once I crossed $1k with this latest one it now runs passably (as in, I could play it like this and even raid with spell effects and names turned off, which are good...

    Computer Issues

    Really not keen on spending more than $1k on a spare laptop to run EQ of all things. Surprised I even needed to go that high for this 25 year old game that should be smooth as butter on modern systems. EQ runs like crap on the $300 laptop I got a few years ago, and runs super-well on the $1800...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    Just to clarify, I've got no problem with them making the MC all uber-hot. Something about the "Bayonetta body type" just does very little for me personally though, and this character isn't too far away from the Bayonetta look. Like I don't find Bayonetta hot at all. Not crazy about a woman...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Got this up and running on (another) new lower-cost ($1k) laptop for the 25th servers, and finally found one that works well. Kind of shocked I had to go up to over $1k to run EQ of all things, as the previous two I tried were $800 and $850 and neither ran it well. This one's a Lenovo Legion...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    I was actually thinking the MC's proportions are unrealistic (and thus less appealing to look at than, say, a Tifa). Then I come here and find out the MC was motion-capped from a real woman. So I guess that kinda nullifies that argument. Still would prefer if she were a little less "idealized"...

    Don't see a thread for this and feel like it's gonna be kind of a big deal, so here's one. Played the demo and this game is pretty awesome. Not sure it does anything particularly new, but it has a cool futuristic vibe and some insanely hot women (thanks, Korean devs) alongside very Nier-like...

    Oh man, tradeskills in EQ, never again. 300 is enough to do Shawl 2.0 and Shawl 3.0 which are fun quests (and strong items, regardless of class). It's 301-350 and the Artisan's Prize that was a bridge too far for me. I think I got to around 310 before I tapped out...on the game entirely (for a...
