    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Side anecdote, Story Time With Raj, feel free to skip: When I was a kid (like 18) I worked for a gas station. 3 days a week, nothing serious, was just putting in some work to help my mom out instead of starting college. A few people at the gas station had a clique and didn't like me, so they...

    JRPGs

    Or they'll add an Easy Mode where you no longer need to micro-manage or think, trivializing the gameplay and destroying the overall game. Every time I say stuff like this, people are like "what's wrong with easy modes, you can just not use them". In some cases I agree, some games are better off...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah, half the appeal of a TSS start is having all those new 1-70 leveling zones to make use of / funnel the players. It'd be like a brand new game for a lot of people. Except in practice you'd go in on release day and Blightfire Moors would be empty because everyone would be packed into Field...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I'd do short unlocks so it wouldn't be a normal 3 month cycle. I'm saying it'd be similar to the Vaniki we got, just with the unlocks spaced out and not clumped together. So like two weeks at 40 in Classic, two weeks at 50 in Kunark, two weeks of Velious, two weeks of Luclin, two weeks of PoP at...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I think the correct order is Originals: 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2 Pixel Remasters: 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 2 That's right, I think 3 gets a significant bump from the remaster. 5 is probably a better game, but it's a bit too long for me to do casual plays of it like I do with 1/4/6. 3 is so drastically improved...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah. Wouldn't even have to change much. Start at level 40 again, but in classic. Raise it to 50 for Kunark, keep it there until PoP which goes to 55.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    If Vish didn't happen at 60, very little chance Lethar is happening at 65 or Meldrath at 70. I thought Vish would be doable since it's mostly execution. I hope we see a Vaniki 2.0 next year (or the year after) with better thought-out objectives and clearer structure (in terms of unlocks). There...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That all sounds like bad design to say the least. I'm gonna get to 60, see as much of the SL zones as I can along the way, run all the dungeons and LFR raids once, then do Dragonflight launch the same time everyone else does, then quit. Will hopefully be a fun month and a half, I've never...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Wow, so that'll get him to 6 solo movies. The other modern Spideys got 3 and 2. Pretty much cements Holland as THE Spidey of the era. I figured they'd replace him with Miles Morales before any further solo movies happened. As for the 3 MCU movies... Avengers 5 and 6 makes sense. What might the...

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    This any good? How'd they handle Chadwick/T'Challa? I assume he dies early in the movie or offscreen. Spoil away because I probably won't get to this one for a while. Was actually supposed to see it tonight, friend got me a ticket to it, and then I got held up on the highway by Accident #4803...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So the first zone in Shadowlands, that you have to do the first time through, is also total shite? Man, you'd think they would put their best foot forward. Played for another half hour, somehow went from 45-47. One more dungeon run and it's Shadowlands time. I've got like, two and a half weeks...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Jeez. Alright, so I can start Shadowlands at 48 yeah? Where do I go to start it? Got to 45 in last night's sesh. I can play for like 30 minutes (or one level) at a time before I start to snooze. Prolly do a big session this weekend.

    Health Problems

    Still haven't tried the Abilify, maybe I won't. Got a script for Cymbalta for pain and tried one of those. Jury is out but it definitely had a pronounced effect on me the day I took it, felt relaxed as fuck and in less pain. Any experience with Cymbalta here?

    What are you playing?

    Gotta say, Last of Us 2 isn't nearly as bad as everybody says. The gameplay is a bit meh (mainly because I never have enough bullets and have to melee stuff). However the story has grabbed me a bit. I even like Abby, maybe more than Ellie. The main problem is that they put the story in totally...

    College

    It was a long-time dream of mine to be a doctor, but I went to school for writing instead. The 10-12 year commitment (and costs) felt prohibitive for being a doctor, especially considering I started college late (age 26). The funny thing is, if I'd just gone ahead and done it, I'd probably be...

    Reviving this thread because I've got Stuff Goin On. So basically I've been back and forth about taking my school's accelerated RN program to get a nursing degree in one year. Finally decided to go for it. Went there to sign up, found out that it's a competitive entry field where they only...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I completely agree. Feels like I'm playing a PS3 game when I fire up one of these washed-out Switch games. Bayonetta 3 is doing nothing for me overall but it's fairly short and something to do on a train ride that doesn't require any real thinking. I like the Switch as a concept (the portable...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I keep forgetting that I'm subbed to this game. Left off at level 43 like two weeks ago and just like, forgot all about it. Next big session I'll probably blast to 48 with all the rested exp I've probably got and start doing Shadowlands stuff (assuming everyone gets it for free now)

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I imagine it isn't bad at all if you do your grinding in undead-heavy areas using the Harm spells (Dia in the remake, IIRC). Probably use Potions to heal like with every other party configuration (I usually don't even bring a WM) and save their MP for those undead fights. Once I get a couple of...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    FF2 is probably the worst of the first ten FFs, but it's still good. Especially if they got rid of all the sharp edges in the PR version. I'm looking forward to giving it one more run. The only party I have left to beat FF1 with is 4x White Wizards (not mages, I'll take the class up thx)...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yeah, the final boss is the only tough part. 20000 HP while the other bosses in the game top out at like...5000 or so? When I ran 4x Black Mages, they pretty much couldn't kill the final boss because Flare didn't do enough damage quick enough. All my other parties were able to beat the game at...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Got the Hot Ones Burger from Shake Shack. It's a better burger than the Ghost Whopper in terms of being a better burger. However, not in terms of spice. Maybe I missed something, because there's nothing spicy about it. I mean, maybe a little. Also got the Hot Ones Fries, which has a little bit...

    Speaking of spicy, I might have posted this somewhere already: Avoid getting the Reaper Taco at Gringo's Tacos in Hoboken NJ. Was in NYC in late Sept for Grand Slam and decided to hit up Gringo's. Their other tacos are good, super good as a matter of fact. Then I went for the Reaper Taco. Two...

    Went to check out this Ghost Pepper Whopper I've been hearing about. Didn't get around to it until Nov 2, and the BK I went to told me that the special was over. I asked if that was all BKs and they said yep, it ended 11/1 at ALL stores. WTF. The next day I was passing a BK and decided to stop...

    Sort of yeah. It's good, just know that some of the characters are like, non-binary or whatnot. Personally it doesn't bother me, maybe someone else will play it and feel represented. It's a small indy studio AFAIK, not Blackrock doing social engineering. And it has no effect on anything, it's...

    I gave SMB3 and SMW a run-through during the beginning of the BLM riots (which were happening locally) because they're colorful enough to be the only thing my brain could handle that week. Rest of my brain was wondering why I was stupid enough to not have a gun on hand. Anyway Timespinner is...

    Some legit emotion on the guy's face. Look at all the toxic bullshit in the top bunch of comments. Jesus Christ. There are way more positive comments, but all of them are down under the sea of negativity because they aren't being boosted by likes. Reminds me of Ron DeSantis' twitter. Maybe a...

    Blasphemous is on sale for $6 (!!!) on the eshop. Looks like Ender's Lillies is sort of on sale, $18 instead of the usual $24. Timespinner is normal price, $20. Those are the 3 things I wanted to get next. Grabbed Blasphemous, gonna wait and see if the other two dip for Black Friday. I could...

    He's a good heel and can be pretty over sometimes. The hate he gets is because he was significantly overpushed throughout the 2000's, first in WCW and then in TNA. Always had to put himself over more promising talents. Like in Ring Ka King they had some up and coming heels that were pretty...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Yeah. Which makes it even funnier that people on that live board thread are going on about the story/lore so much and using it as a defense for this expansion not having Ssra Temple in it, as if this game prioritizes story at any particular point in the modern era.

    I think High Rock is done, Daggerfall did it. However Daggerfall also did part of Hammerfell and that's getting a full version in ES6...
