    Final Fantasy 16

    Similar feelings here. Lots of lulls in an otherwise good story. Took me a while to realize that the Eikon specials are all on separate cooldowns. So I thought my Ifrit specials locked out Ramuh specials, etc, and basically just stayed in Ifrit stance all the time except to switch to Garuda for...

    I get the same feeling. I'm at 57% and 20 hours now. Got some real time to play this weekend so I'm going to try to make some significant progress in one sitting finally. Chapter I'm on is "Fire and Ice". Volcano area looks unbelievable on an LG OLED. I feel like a lot of the mid-game areas...

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

    This map doesn't make any sense. It isn't the "antarctica is a ring" UN map that flat earthers go by, it's a totally different thing. It kinda looks like there are two Africas. That or they've got the Lost Continent of Mu on there for some reason. WTF?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If you use one of the gold "summon me" items, it lays a summon sign right where you are (good if you want to do a specific area, or help a specific person). The other summon item sends a summon sign to a nearby summoning pool (those stone things I think I might have missed a lot of). When you do...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Had a couple of better summoning experiences last night. Threw the game on while I was doing other stuff, threw out the bait, and let it sit there. Had a few good boss fights where the person I was helping played somewhat efficiently, didn't waste a bunch of everyone's time, and had good fights...

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

    A lot of this stuff sounds reasonably accurate and if it's a LARP it's incredibly well thought-out. A few things caught my attention: 17. Instead of waste, they secrete ammonia-like gas. This lines up with the Brazil alien where people kept finding it hiding around town and they all reported...

    Why do I keep seeing Blink 182 mentioned everywhere nowadays? Feels like I missed some huge meme. Also this video was great. Reminded me of Bill and Ted. Also learned a new word, "croosh"

    Oh yeah, Typhon is the guy I know as Chupon, forgot about that. So... the boss I most recently fought in FF16... was Chupon? My God. Didn't look much like Chupon, didn't sneeze either. Chupon was one of FF6's big mysteries. Who was he? WHAT was he? I mean look at him, he's an orange blob. I...

    2000's goodness depends a lot on how much someone likes RPGs. Cause 2000 was a HUGE year for those: -Baldur's Gate 2 -Icewind Dale -Chrono Cross -Final Fantasy IX -Suikoden 2 -Legend of Dragoon -Wild Arms 2 -Vagrant Story -Grandia Likely forgetting a few as well.

    I still to this day don't know the lyrics to "You could be mine". End credits music from T2. Heard it as a kid, had no idea what they were saying, intentionally never fixed that because kid me made his own version of it. "You could be my-eyennnn, but you're way, out of pie-ie! When your lips...

    Just did the Typhon fight yesterday and I liked the music, felt like it sort of fit as a "battle in an otherworldly void" type of theme. The part where Ifrit fights Typhon, I mean. Don't remember the music before that. I don't know WTF Typhon was supposed to be (missed something I guess) but...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    That's a pretty good lineup. So 1998 vs 2000 vs 2023, who wins objectively? It's probably more like 30 games a year so you're off by 270, but whatever. I don't know why I'm getting Stormveil requests. I'm at endgame / NG+ level, haven't leveled much since I first beat the game. I think it's...

    Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Xenogears. What else? I fired up Elden Ring this evening to put on a summon sign and help a few people with boss fights. Were people always this inept at the game? I keep getting summoned to Stormveil Castle to help different people who tend to run around...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Interesting, so that droning sound is the normal field theme maybe? Reminds me of Secret of Evermore on the SNES, which would often have menacing droning ambiance in dangerous locations instead of music. At least FF16 has music at all. I seem to remember FF15 having a lot of areas with no music...

    This has happened to me many times. EQ camp going on too long, post complaining, there it is. Or other games, can't beat a boss? Complain to people in the heat of the moment about how much I hate this game now, win on the next try, then have to retract my previous opinion.

    Sound of Freedom (2023)

    Very well said. Dennis Miller is another one who comes to mind. I forgot how many comedians lean right because the last few years it's been such a rite of passage that they have to all be outwardly left to fit in with the "comedian community" and still get roles in all of the stupid ensemble...

    I also got the low ominous drone in Moore, thought it was kind of weird music for the game. Even considered for a second that the game was glitching or something. Then decided the low ominous drone actually wasn't bad on the ears and just left the sound on. It was different. I did both the...

    I think historically they leaned left a bit, but were also based and sensible. At least that's the vibe I get from Sandler. Nowayears they might all be leaning right, I don't know. Chris Rock - Left-ish but also frequently thinks they're full of crap Rob Schneider - Fully switched teams to red...

    Hot Ones

    I like Da Bomb. Not even sure what it tastes like because all I get is heat. If I want a good heat punch I'll put a couple of drops of that on some food. I probably do this 2x a year and it serves its purpose. Last Dab (Scorpion version) is significantly less hot, and tastes better. Has a lot...

    I also get that feeling from different EQ zones/memories, but not from going back to them on TLP unfortunately. All of this was from Live in the 2000's: -Sunderrock Springs in TSS. Ambience, music, the scenery and Southwest US Navajo vibe to all of it. Remember sitting there listening to that...

    Birthday is celebrating a birth, not a conception. We don't have a conception day. I think pretty much everyone had to play FF Tactics twice because Velius kicked their ass. The fact that the game lets you save right before the fight (so you can't leave) almost felt malicious by design. They...

    Ask her if she wants to dress up as that character next time you do it. Like offer to get her the blue dress and everything. Back in 2016 or so I remember being a bit enamored by Margot Robbie Harley Quinn (the first movie she was in, before it got played out) and her hot little outfit, and next...

    2000, my previous winner for total good game releases, also had a lot of sequels. Suikoden 2, Wild Arms 2, Chrono Cross (more or less Trigger 2), Final Fantasy 9, and so on. When so much of the new stuff is so bad, breathing new life into the old stuff that actually meant something to us is...

    Balthier was a great protagonist who should have been main. He reminded me of Spike from Buffy. Lulu's personalities were great, I'd love to motorboat those personalities. FF6's characters really were great. Most Japanese game protagonists drive me nuts, especially where "love interests" are...

    I've got another one: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. This game is a horse's ass. FFT on PS1 is one of my favorite games, so I was super stoked to get ahold of FFTA. Took me years to get around to it but when I finally did I couldn't have been more excited. Then within an hour of starting it up I...

    I've done the NYC to Boston (and vice versa) drive about a dozen times and it's crazy how much people suck at driving along that entire route. On I-95 people drive like they're trying really hard to die. For instance, going 110!

    Between this and FF6 Tactics... just get rid of the dev companies and let fans create everything from now on with dev resources. Somehow. Just found out someone's making a Mega Man: The Wily Wars 2 (Sega Genesis remake of the NES classics) that includes MM4/5/6. And they're pretty far along...

    @DickTrickle Why picard? We've got one vote for Tides! I'm okay with hearing something good about it, because it's still "on the list" for my CRPGs and I'm going to at least give it a shot. Would be great if I found something to like. I'll often end up liking unpopular things and disliking...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    No idea about Mischief specifics or minis, but the easiest way to get a globe is to take out Ture and Hanvar. Neither fight poses much of a challenge at 80 compared to the other bosses in there. That'll get you one (every five days?) and after that try Keldovan+Jelvan and Vangl. If it's a real...

    Damn, I've always hated Kevin James' guts for some reason, but now I'll have to revise that. I think I had "stepdad you hate" syndrome with him because he kind of replaced Chris Farley in the "Sandler crew" and Farley is basically irreplaceable, much less by a giant talentless turd like Kevin...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I know there's an actual reason for it being worded this way, but (for the hearing impaired) always rustles my jimmies. Maybe I just like watching things with subtitles to make it easier to follow along, especially if I've got an AC going or something. If there's only one English subtitle option...

    What's up with CPAPs, they help with breathing while sleeping? I sleep horrendously bad and often have breathing issues (nose stops working when I lay down). She's got full health coverage.
