@Raes Damn, I misread the definition of Gifted. I thought it reduced your SP gain by 5 per level. I think that's what the description says. So I thought that meant you only gained like 2 SP per level or something. Didn't know it was 5 percent. Almost considering starting over just to get it now...

Yep, one of the reasons I just don't like Switch visuals. It's basically stuck in 2014 (Wii U) level visuals. Similar to how Wii's visuals were pretty much the same as Gamecube's with added system innovations. I guess the Switch 2 or whatever is next will finally move the visuals forward if...

As for D&D, I managed to get ahold of the 2000 movie and its sequel I didn't know existed, Wrath of the Dragon God. Working on tracking down the third and final one, Book of Vile Darkness or whatever. Unsurprisingly that one is hard to find, I don't think anyone else knows it exists either...

John Wick 1 and 4 are both in my Top 5 action movies of all time. The rest of said Top 5? Aliens, Terminator 2, The Raid. So they're in good company. Get with it, @Burns !

FALLOUT UPDATE -Got a party member, the guy with big Aquaman hair in the first town. -Nobody has any gorram caps to trade so I can barely make any money from selling stuff. Have a bunch of stuff to sell at this point and nobody to sell it to. -There we go, got the 3 ropes in Sandy town. -Got...

SU-57 was my guess after looking at some "fifth generation" lists. Not certain Iran has those in the real world, but I'm still gonna stand by my assessment that the "enemy country" was Iran. Movie certainly isn't above taking liberties.

Yeah my question was about the in-movie reason, but the real world reason is also interesting. So basically they had to use F-18s and worked around it with a plot contrivance. And yeah I do consider that a plot contrivance, especially considering how outmatched they were. Don't see any reason...

I've never been clear on the difference between "demon" and "daemon" or if there even is one. In D&D there's a location difference in that daemons occupy a certain plane (Hades? IDK) while demons occupy the Abyss and devils occupy Hell. I think Hades / daemons represent neutral evil while...

Watched this on my huge 65'' OLED. Yeah, I wish I'd caught it in theaters but I think this'll suffice. Phoenix (Monica Barbaro) was hot as hell and everybody here was likeable. Great movie, but I'm a little confused. I think I missed something. Why did they use F-18s for the bombing mission...

This got posted in an EQ thread (for some reason) but it's pretty interesting due to the timeline involved going from top to bottom. Anyone have a higher-res version of it that's actually readable?

On a bit of a movie-watching crusade the last week or so, trying to clear a backlog I've had building up for a while. John Wick 4 - 11/10, already gave my thoughts on this in its thread and think that it's a contender for best action movie ever. Not certain though, Aliens/T2/Wick 1/The Raid are...

FALLOUT 1 TIME -Started out with the above stats. My character doesn't seem to be able to say anything besides guttural noises. Hilarious so far. Thinking about doing a murderhobo run since my character can't communicate with anybody anyway. -Have no goddamn clue what to do so I ran around...

I'm...I'm actually not sure.

Oh yeah, I forgot about how expensive N64 games were at launch. I couldn't afford the system + Mario 64. The N64 cartridges were also noticeably heavier than SNES which was kind of interesting. Ended up getting a PS1 instead a year later + FF7, and a used N64 some time in 1999 for like $50 from...

Plus, you can plug a PS5 controller into a PC and use it with emulators. So between that and the visual upgrade, it'd basically be like playing BOTW on PS5 if you have a decent size monitor.

Oh God, it's one of those games with a "MEGAMAN MEGAMAN!" character who doesn't shut up isn't it? Too late, I already bought it. Think it was when I got that massive trove of games in early 2021 that I'm still working through now. Another thing that'd get me plowing BOTW is if Zelda were...

Well, I just think I'm cursed. All this simulation talk is a bridge too far for me! Florida isn't actually that anti-gay. Or at least Gov DeSantis isn't. The "don't say gay" bill doesn't exist, seems to basically be a media creation. Far as I can tell the actual bill was just "don't teach sex...

Got Temple of Elemental Evil working on the second try at installing. This game is super nice-looking and has great music, glad I didn't give up on it. Back on the list! Unfortunately, Fallout Tactics won't install correctly, so it's off the list. It was a "maybe" as it is. FO1 and 2 both work...

Yeah I'm not sure you actually read the replies. We were being empathetic. Also I said to avoid drugs.

Lot of red going on here. Also a lot of cat hair, god damn

I think 2001-2008 was always penciled in by some very powerful people as a time when lots and lots of blood money was gonna be made. 9/11 was the kickoff, and the financial crash was their last "fuck you" going out the door. Every so often we have these kinds of "blood money orgy" timeframes...

I'm not sure which Doctor Sleep I saw. It was whichever one is on the Blu-Ray. I actually watched it twice. Only movie I've watched twice in a while, though I'll probably see Wick 4 a second time soon. Best 3 movies I've seen in the last 3 years or so all happened to be in the last several...

I disagree. Well, I'd see JW4 a second time anyway. Maybe I'll report back after that and say it wasn't as great as I initally thought.

I get it. Naw, not just saying "I get it" to be empathetic even though I don't. I actually do get it. I've run into roadblock after roadblock and denial after denial for my entire life to the point of ridiculousness. Yes, life is unfair. Yes, life doesn't hand people anything. But I've dealt...

I can't imagine spending money on this or anything else while John Wick 4 is in theaters. Unless you have seen JW4 already. If so, see it again. If you've seen it twice, then yeah, maybe this movie.

Holy shit you're right! AN ACTUAL REDHEAD.

This is a lot like the F&F series. Furious 7 was the PERFECT end point for it. Then they made more of them. Are F&F 8 and 9 good? I mean, they have plenty of crazy action and they serve up what the audience wants. They aren't necessary though. The series gained nothing from their existence, and...

I'm actually really interested in this particular subject. Cause in 98 there were rumors JFK Jr might do a White House run in 2000, and if that happened, no Gore or Bush. However the indications seemed to be that he was going to instead run for senate. Which means he beats Hillary for the...

This kinda looks like Officer Downe, a completely ludicrous movie about an immortal cop (played by Tig from Sons of Anarchy). Just saw it last week. Best part of that movie is the first scene where this hot woman has like 14 orgasms. I guess this kind of completely ludicrous (and graphic) movie...

Seriously! I just checked in with my guy and he says details Soon, and they will also make everyone mad.

Same here. That and the rampant puzzles. I'm not a huge puzzle guy, at least not in my action/exploration games. Wasn't crazy about Uncharted 4 or Immortals Fenyx Rising either because they both constantly ground to a halt to do puzzles. Funny thing is I have no issue at all with the puzzles in...

Wait, so is Mirkwood (exp 2) just the one zone of Southern Mirkwood? Cause that zone is only a very small part of Mirkwood too (I think they added the rest in much later updates?) IIRC Lothlorien and Enedwaith might have both been added in expansion 2, but it might just be Lothlorien along with...

Yeah, I'm doing it because it's possible and it's so rare to see things like this in modern games. In FO2 I'll play a regular scientist-type character who can do all the things. Cania the 8th layer is the most interesting part of D&D Hell to me. Partly because Mephisto is the most interesting...

Speaking of gold box games... I recognize this: This picture was on the cover of a Choose Your Own Adventure book I have somewhere. It was the first one I got as a kid and I was hugely into it. Another thing that helped get me into RPGs, along with the Keep on the Borderlands module. Man, I...

This whole Amazon odyssey got sorted out, but it was a full-on debacle. I tried to reactivate my mom's old number at AT&T and they couldn't because "someone new has it now". So I tried to get whoever has the number on the phone to ask them for the Amazon code (new owner is someone named...

Yeah, so would I. Nintendo fanboys would argue that Nintendo getting out of hardware means we'd lose their inventive spirit. I say all their inventive spirit has really brought us is waggle-motion controls and stylus controls that nobody likes. The Switch is a fantastic system due to its...

Started Fallout 1 @Regime Here's the dude I made for this one. Lowest int possible and based around fighting at melee range. Taking Small Guns would help out early on but probably not later, if this is like FO3/NV were for me. I'll be fine as soon as I can get a sledge. Wish I coulda maxed...

"realize" "the government is not our friend" lol Maybe it WAS highest clearance and is now being opened up a bit due to congressional prying. Hell if I know. I hope more people start recognizing that congress isn't the government, and is in fact a lower power compared to the Deep State and...

Pure action wise I'd put this movie above Matrix, JW1, or even The Raid. Just rewatched the first 3 movies over two nights. JW3 feels like part two of JW2, and is better than I remembered. It gets going in the second half with the High Table assaulting the Continental. Wick's brawl with the two...

I mean, they added Veksar to Kunark well after Kunark launched, and the Hole well after Classic launched. Adding a new boss to Classic that doesn't dramatically alter the game in any way except to add a new raid target might be kind of cool.
