    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I'm totally down for this idea. Having to do expansion races at the previous level cap adds a very cool Vaniki-like wrinkle to the competition without going full Vaniki. For example, having to do Kunark content at 50 for a month, or OoW epics/raids at 65. I don't think any of that would really...

    Been waiting for a video on Indrid Cold, this should be a good one.

    At least RS admits that child trafficking is a huge problem that needs to be addressed. I'll take that at this point. Their gripe is basically "It's a big problem, but the movie is distorting how it happens because usually the kids are trafficked by someone they know rather than snatched off the...

    That's about what I figured. No kissing, no going downstairs... that's like going to a five-star restaurant and only having an appetizer. Unfortunately I don't think it's for me. Have always been intrigued by foreign brothels in places like Italy and Switzerland though. I can see how it has...

    Is "anally probed" better? I really don't want anything going in there, getting a prostate exam was already bad enough and that didn't involve sticking a camera in. If they put you to sleep that's good, 'cause I'm gonna have to do all this whether I like it or not. I've heard about the...

    6 foot redhead, wild in the sack? Sounds like the one I was with for 7 years, cept she was 5'10''. Was taller than the guy she ended up with and the guy she was with before me for that matter. Co-habitating was easier for us without a third person around, though she really wanted her hot...

    Dating

    My longest-term relationship began pretty much the same way: Knew this girl through mutual friends, liked her, ended up at the same party, chatted her up a bit over the course of the evening. She disappeared for a bit and returned wearing a hawt green miniskirt-length dress, started dancing by...

    And you strike me as a crotchety old asshole by your posts, so you never know. That's great, anything that avoids being anally violated in any way is a big win.

    Nope. I tried living with women a couple of times and it never worked. They just drove me nuts. Also having little or no time to myself doesn't work for me at all, not even a little bit. I like get-togethers to be somewhat of an event, or have a purpose. Like we're getting together to hook up...

    What are you playing?

    Yeah, my 3DS (which now has hella DS ROMs on it as well) has so many retro ROMs that it's actually ridiculous to have to scroll through. Like 6 versions of most games, across all regions, etc etc. A game that's late in the list (like an S) can take a while just to get to. Which is the...

    Final Fantasy 16

    I feel a lot like how I did after FF7 Remake. Kind of blown away by the overall presentation, but also kind of angry at it, probably directly attributable to the last act of the game in both cases.

    Does a full cancer regimen include a colonoscopy? Should I get a colonoscopy at 40? Never had one before, don't want one. I basically feel sick all the time now and I have no clue why. Sinuses don't work right and I've got a bunch of "cysts" in them. Getting a CT scan on that in a couple...

    I just turned 40 a couple months ago and I still haven't been able to wrap my head around it. I was 30 a minute ago, WTF.

    Not doing this any time soon, but does anyone know offhand if you have to "do everything" twice to get the platinum or can you just "do everything" in NG+? Jirard the Completionist did everything twice but I have a feeling that isn't necessary. Anything that does need to be done in NG?

    Dynasty Warriors 9 is so bad. Only "Warriors" or Musuo game that I didn't enjoy at all. Gave up on it fairly quick. They took the simplest formula for success over all those games and found a way to totally fuck it up in the last one. Not surprised we haven't seen a 10 yet.

    Final Fantasy 16

    Finished the game late last night. Great ending. The main campaign went on about ten hours too long though. Last "dungeon" was just drawn-out fight after drawn-out fight. Someday maybe I'll do a 100% run for this, not now though. Got mixed feelings overall. They did a really good job with this...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    You're saying the belt is too far from Jupiter to be torn apart by it? So it could have indeed been shattered by something else? That's super interesting. The atmosphere is also very thick so it's possible any meteorites burn up entirely on entry. Any Venusian life would be floating around in...

    93%, 42hrs The last big fight was pretty exhausting, looking forward to being done. I guess spoiler warning, game has been out for almost a month but yeah: Main story really did end a while ago. Not sure if they're trying to do a White Walkers type thing here but I found the game MUCH more...

    Just saw an ingame mention of "Leviathan the Lost". Wonder why he's lost? Did they just run out of dev time or was there a conscious decision to leave out the second-mightiest Eidolon? Think we'll fight Leviathan in a DLC? Hell, think we'll get a DLC?

    I'm kind of Castlevania-deficient and haven't heard SOTN yet, but I'm supposed to play it for Halloween with a friend so I'll hear it then. Super Castlevania IV probably should have beaten Super Metroid for the 10 spot. I did completely forget something else: DOOM. Would be #6 on the list if...

    Agreed pretty much. There are some great "villain outta nowhere"s out there and I also like the mechanic when it's done well. Did some more this evening. Loooooot of wandering around lategame. This game feels very up and down on excitement level with long lulls between the spikes.

    So rather than being a planet that shattered, you're suggesting that Jupiter's gravity prevented it from forming correctly? An interesting idea. Ceres is about one quarter the size of our moon, which is why I suggest it might have been the planetary core for something larger. I think it's...

    It isn't just The Guardian, pretty much the entire American mainstream media has "rallied against" it in the form of basically lockstep negative articles about it. This video has a ton of clippings of headlines doing exactly that. You've even got some footage of "Mike Rothschild" (whoever...

    I got past the big 75% part. Gonna make a bid to finish the game over the next couple of evenings. Seems like the game kinda blew its wad, not sure what's left for the last 25%.

    Final Fantasy 16

    After a giant play session, I have arrived. This game not having a day/night cycle like most modern games is actually a really good thing, it allows them to change the time based on the narrative. Like this night raid. And even things like the weather can be what the devs want for a specific...

    Yeah I assumed it was probably Bakhmut if it wasn't Titan. Dumb question: Edit: Nevermind, I was confusing Dion with Barnabas' henchman. The next scene settled it. In other news, just defeated Titan: This absolute photo finish (with about one HP left) would have meant a bit more if not...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    It's my belief that the dinosaurs were indeed killed by asteroids and that there's a good chance this is linked to the (now-gone) 5th planet in the solar system. When the 5th planet blew up, it no doubt scattered asteroids in all directions before the gravitational alignment settled them down...

    Now that's a good map. I think Antarctica might be grossly under-sized though. Everything else actually looks accurate. Stark difference between Greenland here and Greenland on the widely-used world map, innit? Russia and North America look like an FF title screen Amano drawing. Two Eikons...

    FF9 had some memorable locations. I liked Ipsen's Castle. Memoria wasn't bad as a final dungeon, it was intended to basically be an homage to Final Fantasy 1. I also perma-associate FFIX's soundtrack with Velious in EQ since I played them more or less side-by-side. This track in particular...
