    Yeah, I saw Witcher 3 in a Wal-Mart the other day for like $40... I got that for $20 like four years ago on the PS store.

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

    Space travel is so ungodly difficult and unwieldy that it'd make a lot more sense to move through wormholes or otherwise distort space to travel vast distances. Have drones explore the cosmos, when an interesting planet is found, "bookmark" it by setting up a wormhole/distortion in its periphery...

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

    Man, everything about this incident is fishy AF. The people filming their backyard sounded legit freaked the fuck out. I took a few semesters of acting and usually when I watch UFO-related testimonials I spot various tells that the person is making shit up. These people had nothing in their body...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Usually yeah. Some retailers just suck, like Wal-Mart and Target. Their prices have always been horrendous for games. Not uncommon to see things that are years old going for $60 in those stores that are like $20 on the digital store and $25 on eBay. But yeah, for the most part digital isn't...

    Best thing is, the dog survives the demo and is in the main game. So does the silver chocobo surprisingly.

    Mortal Kombat 1

    Wait a minute, so is this MK12 or is it a timeline reset retelling of MK1? Cause I'm hearing something about Fire God Liu Kang going back in time and how Jax has normal arms in MK1/12 which indicates that this takes place before MK2. An MK1 remake is what I wanted so is that what's kinda...

    Ancient Civilizations

    It's crazy to me that the site took so long for anyone to notice, and also crazy to me that there aren't archaeologists pouring all over it. Probably some good reasons for that though. Apparently the government in that area (governments are...loosely-defined at best there) doesn't want anyone...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Asmon does have good takes and is a generally likeable guy. Damn though if I don't get tired of seeing goofy thumbnails of his face everywhere on YT for a week after I watch one of his videos though. Some of the FF16 stuff I've seen gave me the impression it might be open world. Like the areas...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Well...yeah. People shit on Fox News to this very day for pushing the WMD story in 2003, but everyone seems to have collective amnesia that it was also pushed by CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, Newsweek, USA Today, ABC, NBC, CBS, and outright spearheaded by the New York Times. Just full-on...

    Dating

    I got a late start too due to homeschooling and just generally not being very confident or attractive until I hit my early 20's and suddenly got really attractive and confident, probably because I worked out all the time. And even then it was like pulling teeth to make things happen with chix...

    Castlevania

    True, in the JRPGs you spend a lot of time KILLING GOD. I've probably done it a dozen times by now. Just started Season 3. It's a good watch, very chill and a bit cerebral. Kinda regrettable that Grant Dynasty isn't in this, or CV1 and 2. Seems like it would have been easy enough to slide...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Finished the demo. This is basically Game of Thrones in RPG form. I like it, it's very different from the rest of the series. The story seems so similar to FF15 early on* that I'm wondering if this game is just them reusing some of 15's concepts and "getting it right". * - Starting en media...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Just did that part. Not sure what the point was either. The Phoenix/Ifrit fight reminded me of the various on-rails fights in FFXV where the game shifted into "Dragonball Z mode" for a bit and controlled completely differently. It's cool that it looks like a traditional RPG setting, as opposed...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I'd get the FBSS in the meantime, otherwise you're just functioning at way below peak efficiency. Shaman is best off just grouping and healing until 33. Funny thing is, mid-30's is when they suddenly become super-soloers but by then you don't need to anymore cause you're in range of your 50. I...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yeah, resist gear is first and foremost and should go without saying. That and Sky haste and you're covered. From there it's just a matter of how much else you want to farm (Epic drops, DE mask, Robe of Whistling Fists).

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    At a bare minimum for things to shoot for, off the top of my head and I'm sure there's more: Classic -Sky haste belt -DE mask -Whatever you can get done for epic before Kunark (there's a nice robe) Kunark -Celestial Fists Velious -AOW pants -primal fistwraps Luclin -Vyz'drah H2H

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Before that in August we've got Armored Core 6 and Baldur's Gate 3 like a week apart. My God. Well, outside of those two I'll mostly be catching up on other stuff that's already out. Wouldn't miss BG3 and AC6 for anything though. Here's hoping Mirage learned the lessons of AC...

    Ancient Civilizations

    As much as I think Atlantis was in Mauritania, just crossed my mind that maybe it was in the Mediterranean at a time when it wasn't full of water. Would have been very fertile low-land terrain with streams and lakes if the Strait of Gibraltar were sealed up. Maybe the "great flood" was Gibraltar...

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

    As far as that last one goes... if a craft actually burst into faster than light travel in our atmosphere or even close by, the resulting wave emitted by that would likely strip off the Earth's atmosphere in one shot. Something I have rarely seen brought up, that any kind of fast travel pulse...

    Dating

    Oh, there you go. Women on a bunch of dating sites have like 300 men in their inbox at any given time. They want immediate chemistry and gratification or it's on to the next. Triggering their "approval-seeking" brain is the best way to gin up chemistry. Ask them questions, challenge them to...

    We've got a dating thread over yar: Dating @Amod May want to merge. Sounds like the situation is what you think it is. You had an awkward roll in the hay at 4 AM and it didn't work out. Unfortunately it happens. I had a two month relationship end a couple days after a similar awkward early...

    Ring/Nest/Other Camera Doorbell Megathread

    Semi-related question. Occasionally doing some uber due to its mobility, but I've seen enough wacky uber videos on here to know how psycho people are. So if I'm gonna keep doing that I should probably have some kind of camera in the car. What'd be a cheap and effective option (preferably that...

    Metroid Dread

    That's good, if they're gonna try to make Metroid into Hollow Knight, at least it should have some pretty solid boss fights. IIRC there's one cut boss (water area, probably Draygon since you see its shadow in one room) and I was hoping they'd add it back in as a DLC but no luck yet. Looks like...

    Nice, just loaded the game up and got a "Rookie Mode Unlocked" message. Maybe I will play it again. Just not keen on doing a repeat of the slog that was Normal mode.

    They might need it for their "baby paladin" alt! They'll take that Cloak of Flames too, thanks. @xmod2 Whoa, that's the video I recorded. I think that was after we dropped Tormax + Vindi + Statue + AoW but I might be wrong. Charmed pets did like 90% of the damage and I think our out-of-raid...

    JRPGs

    That's another thing. Xenogears was going to be Chrono Trigger 2 (and likely have the other time periods of the game's history as the travelable time eras). While FF7 was going to be a combination of (our) Xenogears and Parasite Eve. All the early ideas that they dropped from FF7 ended up...

    Metroid Dread

    Yeah pretty much. Not sure where you are in relation to the final boss, but IIRC the last 5 or 6 bosses were all kind of ridiculous. "Take two energy tanks off per hit" ridiculous. The Metroid series was never about being Souls Hard, it was about exploring and collecting enough powerups to be...

    JRPGs

    Just had a thought. Legend says that Xenogears was supposed to be Chrono Trigger 2 early in life before it got repurposed into its own thing. Which makes me wonder... maybe the six eras of time in Xenogears weren't intended to be six different games, like Xenogears fans have been thinking for...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Doing it to stymie game rentals makes a lot of sense, some games did weird stuff like that back then. Personally I rented it a couple times. 7th Saga and Secret of Mana were the first RPGs I ever rented/played really, and both of them kicked my ass. Tried both again at later times and did a lot...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I can confirm that FF4 mobs are extremely counter-heavy. Depends on what version you're playing though, some versions they're not. Yeah levels make all the difference in these early RPGs. I remember struggling with things like 7th Saga on the SNES back in the day until I slowed it down and...

    Rajaah's CRPG Blog

    Sounds like I'll probably just play the main game and then Hordes of the Underdark if I want more. Unless the game totally catches fire with me in the meantime. I barely even got out of the starting areas so far though.

    It's weird, first time I played Seiken Densetsu 3 (in 2014) I actually didn't like it at all, was a big letdown after the like 15 years of hype. The controls felt a lot stiffer than Secret of Mana. I liked SoM's loose gameplay. ...which was too loose at times to the point that the game could be...

    That ZeroHedge article at the end is really good. Shit like Charlottesville and the Jan 6 fracas are convenient excuses for these woke people to co-opt shit to "fight back", but they don't seem to have anything else to fight back against. That doesn't stop Newsweek up there from going on about...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    What would have made this server a lot more appealing is if the exp bonus didn't reset soon as Kunark etc are out. Just a flat 10% more exp for every character you get to 50, up to 10 characters which is permanent double exp on the server. Could even do it incrementally, like each character you...

    Sounds like it's about what I expected for the Sword Coast, with NWN taking up a lot of that middle ground I wasn't sure about. Noticed NWN has two expansions included in the Enhanced Edition. I know NWN2's expac Mask of the Betrayer is a must, but what about these? Worth bothering with...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    The most hilarious thing would be wood elf females who try to cyber other wood elf females and are shocked to discover they're both actually dudes. I have no pics or footage but I'm 100% sure this has happened many times

    Humans aren't exactly like animals on Earth though. We're similar yeah, maybe 97% similar in some cases, genetically. We also have a massive gulf between us and the intelligence levels of everything else though. I'm very interested these days in the idea that advanced humans came here from...
