I've noticed the GOP was more than happy to let the pawns get thrown under the jail too. If Trump got back into office he'd pardon them and I'm sure DeSantis or Rand would as well, but I don't know about anyone else from the big fat corrupt GOPe. I don't think Mist actually said Trump planned...

We're living in a full-on Land of Confusion at the moment and finding out what's true or not could be a full-time job. Maybe I am gullible, or maybe I'm nuanced and taking all sides of the current political war and trying to suss out where in the middle the truth actually is. Notice I never said...

The raid currency rewards weren't exciting to the TLP-only crowd, but their usefulness on live wasn't lost to me. A couple of those rewards in your pocket and you could roll up to a brand new expansion on live ready to buy a bunch of BIS items from the shops. I think I have two of those banked...

I see five guilds I've been in on that list, awesome that they're all still around. It's particularly cool to see Faceless Conquest and Original Gangster Club on the live expansion clear list. Probably the two longest-term successes to emerge from TLPs? Oh yeah, and ROI of course.

This is probably the most intelligent "left" counter-point I've read anywhere on the whole thing. Usually it's just autistic screeching and calling the protesters terrorists. Absolutely agree that Biden should have pardoned the protesters, or at least made sure they were charged fairly for...

I think generally speaking you're right that people will completely change their views on things depending on what shirts are being worn by the people involved. Case in point, all those Youtube videos where people go around asking young people what they think about "this thing Trump said" before...

Was it in-era? I don't remember anyone doing it in-era, but maybe it was at the tail end when I wasn't in the game much due to BR's population dropoff. Tell us more about how it went down. I don't think anyone was going that hard in terms of class-eugenics. People were playing what they wanted...

I've actually never seen it in its entirety either, just bits and pieces over the years and the entire third act. It's a pretty solid movie and at some point I'd definitely like to watch it in its entirety.

Revenants are when you examine the grave of another player and have to fight something, right? I think I did one of those and it was pretty rough with little reward so I just started avoiding the piles. Keep in mind that I've played this in like 1-2 hour sessions spaced like 6 months apart for...

I'm looking forward to your strat on taking down Cragbeast Queen at 55 with her incredible regen rate and 54 people since the devs inexplicably decided at the last minute that you couldn't do it in OW. I think Rusty gave that one the most/best tries and got it to like...95% or something...

Oh, that's why her NJPW music sounded so familiar... holy shit, it was an instrumental of "Jump" by Kris Kross. I suspect her AEW music might end up being "Miss VIP" which was supposed to be Tessa Blanchard's AEW theme and got shelved when she never came in. By this time next week, there's a...

Bind Rush was indeed the top Vaniki guild, no quotes about it. They dominated while they were actually whole and competing. By the 55 era basically half of them had quit so they slowed down a bit, and then at 60 half of the remainder quit so any competition was long over with. Burnout was very...

What's the earliest you can get an axe in Nioh 1? I don't think it was one of the early weapon choices and I haven't gotten one as a drop.

Finished Cuphead DLC. Man, what a fantastic game. Sometimes I wasn't crazy about it, but I had a lot of fun overall. The last DLC fight took about an hour straight of trying it over and over, but it was so fun that when I finally won I was almost bummed the fight was over. Super hard game, in a...

I bet tonfa is way more my style than axe. In Nioh 1 I'm still running with twin swords for the time being though. my last big Bloodborne run got me really used to Blades of Mercy and I had to get used to slowing it way down when I went back to other From games.

Taking a break from Crisis Core (about halfway done with the plat) for a bit and I'm liking Nioh enough to maybe stick with it this time. Been bouncing between that and Salt+Sacrifice the last couple nights. I actually like S+S so far. Did the first two Mage hunts (the things people say are so...

Yeah, I know guys like him too. The douchey pretentious guys who pretend to give a shit about their GF/dates while not even knowing how to listen to them. Anya Taylor-Joy isn't that good looking but she isn't bad either, has a really nice 'bod, and knows how to dress to accentuate it. Or...

Titanic is way better than people give it credit for.

Any advice on said breakage? I wanted to do some farming early in the game to get used to the different controls. That's how I got anywhere with Bloodborne / Souls in the first place, by just farming for levels for a few hours until I was actually good at fighting stuff. If I can farm stuff of...

Supposedly it's going to get a bluray set at some point soon, but I've been reading that since 2019. In Europe you could already get bluray box sets for, I think, the first 3 seasons. They sold out everywhere though. The only thing I can still find is Season 1 which got a region-free release...

I think Galactus is too big to be a Kang goon. Expecting him to be the next Marvel Big Bad for like Phase 7-9 once they have full X-Men integration going. Not sure if Kang is the boss in Avengers 5 and 6, or just 5. Heard a lot of rumors about Doctor Doom being the bad guy in 6. Though it's...

Watched a few things lately, gonna pull an RLM and rapid-fire review them here rather than bumping a bunch of threads. Spoilers: Screamers (1996) - Very good sci-fi movie based on "Second Variety" by Phillip K. Dick. Had some really chilling moments and felt like a particularly nihilistic...

Yeah, a lot of this didn't make any sense / came off as a bit farcical. The guy who brought Margot there didn't seem like somebody okay with dying at the end of the evening. Those crooked businessmen and the cheating Joe Biden guy definitely didn't. Margot was hired by the guy to be his date...

What's harder, Nioh 2 or Sekiro? What about Nioh 1? I'm sure I've asked this before cause I've had all 3 of them on my shortlist for two+ years. I started Nioh 1 (again) not too long ago. Looking for a build that makes that game easier, cause I kinda just want to get through it after all...

Yeah, I wish they'd drop one of these servers in like, February. I'm never doing much in February. I think one of those predictions will be right but not both. They always have at least one classic-launch server. It's possible this will be the time they don't, given how many we've gotten...

I'm so sick of hearing "kill the animals" / "save the animals" 12 times every time someone plays Super Metroid on these things. The way they say those things, you can tell it's like the edgiest thing they've dared to say in public in years

I did a couple posts on the EQ live boards about the issues with Vaniki's AAs, like how we'd insta-get all of them as it is and it might make sense to lower the level reqs on them by 5, things like that, and had a bunch of live posters just said I wanted the game to be easy or whatever. Lo and...

I might try to re-create Khan Noonien Singh's attempt to conquer the world using some sort of India/Middle-East based empire. Though it's also appealing to take over Africa and turn the continent into one big powerhouse country that sits on and utilizes the world's biggest reserves of natural...

I've got this and it's one of those games I struggle with. I think my saves are about halfway through both THPSes. It's like I just start hitting a wall around 40% of the way through the campaigns and by 50% I can't meet any objectives anymore. The score objectives are higher than I can possibly...

Made some more progress in Crisis Core, on Chapter 4 now. Making sure to 100% everything as I go so it's taking a bit longer than just a normal playthrough. I left the game on for like 4 hours and went out, with the DMW running in Mission 1-1-1, and came back to...no gained levels. I thought...

I hear this game has an incredible soundtrack. Any recommended tracks to listen to?

That game is long and arduous. A lot of people complained that AC Odyssey's main campaign ran way too long, so they...doubled the length for Valhalla. After a while I just beelined every mission and sprinted to the next waypoint over and over trying to just get the damn thing over with. Was fun...

Funny cause I was supposed to play Crisis Core today and instead I fired up Elden Ring and ended up playing it for a couple hours and discovering new stuff. I think it's up to like 250 hours because half the time when I'm intending to play something else, I end up defaulting to it. This is...

I hope Avatar 3 has a decline / shows diminishing returns simply because I don't think we need more than 3 of these. Make it a really solid trilogy and call it a day. Cameron is too good to spend the rest of his career turning Avatar into a bi-yearly franchise where we're getting Avatar 9 in...

NG++, double platinum, and I just found another area that I've never seen before. Auriza Hero's Grave. I was looking around the edges of Leyndell to figure out if that north area of the map could be home to a DLC (probably not, looks like it's all jagged mountaintops and a big ravine). What I...

Some actual good movies on this adjusted for inflation list. I'm glad Doctor Zhivago did so well. It's a great movie about the horrors of Bolshevikism in the 1920's that more people in the modern era should see.

The last scene with Superman arriving to confront Black Adam was chill-inducing. Good to see Cavill again and man, I can't wait for Black Adam 2 or Man of Steel 2 to see what happens with these two. Easily the best scene in the movie. ...then I remember absolutely nothing is happening and none...

I predict Avatar 2 will end up landing at #7 on the list. There's a big gulf between Jurassic World and Spider-Man. And 1.8B is about as good as this can do I think.

Does this game take geographic barriers into account? Things like Germany's elevation and the Rhine making them harder to invade, the Pyrenees separating France/Spain, etc. Also how feasible would it be to start an African Empire and take over the world? Is there even such a thing? Seems like...
