Yeah I'm similarly annoyed by roguelikes. In theory it's a cool concept where you get stronger each time you go out to the dungeon. It's relatively obscure but I liked Ehrgeiz's "Quest Mode" which did this very thing. Hades and Returnal are both really good games, but most of their runtime is...

Turned spell effects on, and I gotta say I LOVE that Serpent's Bite has the old lifetap animation. Almost, almost tempted to de-level to 5, since the proc works at any level, just to see the low level and mid level versions of the spell and get some nostalgia going. The very first spell I ever...

As far as any future Agnarrs go...one thing I can think of that might work is a Mata Muram server. Locks at OOW (plus DON). It's funny because the 70 era kills so many servers, yet it'd also be a pretty decent lock point with all those epic 2.0s to so (when they're permanent and not condemned to...

Attrition hits harder with fewer people to begin with, yeah. The point I was making though (in response to the Trakanon drama) is that once 54-man raid DZs become the norm and OW targets fall off, which all happens fairly early, it doesn't matter if you have 200 people in a zerg. A solid crew of...

Yeah I also like DS2 the more I play it. I think it has the best story out of all of them, and the best DLCs. I love how one of the DLCs is basically the scrapped Demon Souls DLC. I found DS2 to be the most difficult out of the ones I've played. I can speedrun Demon, Dark 1, or Bloodborne...

Anyone an expert on the Ys series? I've been playing Memories of Celceta lately which is a remake of Ys IV. However there are apparently two different YS IVs that were released on different systems (SNES and Turbografx 16 IIRC, or rather Super Famicom and PC Engine since we didn't get either...

Niiiice. I might well move up Sekiro since I'm on a katana binge lately as is. Have a few things lined up for August, mostly June/July things that I didn't actually finish any of: -Ys Memories of Celceta (almost done) -Uncharted 4 (about halfway) -Live A Live -Dragon Quest 5 SFC (about halfway)...

I agree that Souls 1 is very worth playing. I'd just put it below the others. Playing 3-2-1 in that order could be interesting. Personally I did run throughs of Dark 1 and Demon Remake (both NG++) this year after Elden Ring. Both kinda felt like they paled in comparison to ER when it came to...

Dark Souls 1 is rough to go back to now, even the remaster. Not just the visuals but also the design choices. Sekiro is a totally different type of game. Here are a few options, from most to least recommended: -Dark Souls 3. The most refined and closest to ER Souls game from what I've heard...

Watched Iron Sky (2012). Total chore to sit through, not even "so bad it's good". It's a farcical comedy about nazis but nothing is funny. Only good thing about it is that it has a couple of hot female characters (the protagonist is especially cute) and it continually finds ways to either rip...

SK LFG for 55-60. I usually form a group, but I haven't had time lately, so looking for something to jump in on. Edit: NM I formed a group.

With deepfake technology getting as advanced as it is, I think we're rapidly approaching a time when anyone can be framed for anything just by using that tech with video footage. And if it's the government doing it, then they'll be able to do it with impunity.

I hope this is good, watching it day one. Been wanting a "historical" Predator movie since Danny Glover got the flintlock in P2. I'm also assuming this is going to end with the Predator slaying her entire tribe and her basically just surviving to tell the tale. If it's the same Predator as P1...

I grew up on a shitty side of town, at least for a few years, and knew some legit gangbangers. We had mutual respect. Game recognize game. @Zaide one time I beat up 3 of them at once. ...I'm just kidding, they laughed at my skinny 10 year old frame and my pale whiteness. They were indeed scary...

Damn, I totally lost it at the Sarah reveal. Haven't laughed that hard in weeks. Pertaining to this and the stupid Daenerys discussion earlier in this thread, there are now some super-convincing deepfake porns of Daenerys out there and they're actually really hot. Yeah, Miller made his own...

He's half-Jewish, isn't he? Which is probably why he grew up rich in an upper-class neighborhood. And yeah, there's something really dark about Peele. He's definitely got some issues going on. I've been a fan of his for a long time and it's obvious just from looking at him, going back to Key &...

Am I understanding this right: -Main timeline "He Who Remains" is the good version of the scientist -In other timelines where things happened differently, he became various evil tyrants -The one who isn't an evil tyrant did his best to control the multiverse by getting rid of the alternate...

I spent $400 on some REALLY COOL SHIT. Get outta here with the nerd-shaming. Jesus Christ. I gotta strongly disagree. Highlander 2 is a hamfisted reset that ruins the lore, but The Source has a space baby. A SPACE BABY. IIRC the plan was to have the next movie be the now-grown baby facing...

For me, The Raven started out iffy, then got good towards the end. Much like the first season of the regular show. Once The Raven moved to Paris, it recaptured some of the HTS charm. The first 60% of the season was an America-based cop show, meaning the producers learned nothing from how that...

I have never had any kind of relationship start off of a first date to a movie, with one exception. The one exception was my first serious girlfriend, because technically our first date was to a movie. However, nothing happened after the movie, and we didn't actually start going out for real...

Watched a few movies in the last couple of months. The Time Machine (2001 remake) - Enjoyed this way more than I expected, a lot of that is how good of an actor Guy Pearce is. It'll probably end up being kind of forgettable, like most 2000s remakes of classics, but while it was on I liked it...

I dont want to hit shit, but I like knowing that if I needed to reach for one in an emergency, that it could actually do some damage. Some people keep a baseball bat by the door, I have swords on the living room walls. Going to own some guns sooner than later but that's beside the point. I'm...

My God, how did Elden Ring only get a 7.0 user score? That can't be right.

I love how making any use of far-eastern aesthetic design is "appropriation" I suppose everything western with a katana (Highlander, etc) is also appropriating?

They added an autogrant system after a few years, so you get all the AAs for free up to the latest few expansions. Catching up still takes some work, but it isn't actually virtually impossible like it would be if you had to start from zero. In the lategame EOK and ROS are the two expansions with...

Yelinak limping through OOW-TBS is waaaay far off, and by then other TLPs will be out for the serial-hoppers to hop to. At least Vaniki is getting most of that section of the game all at once, which will make it waaaay more bearable (and quicker). Also another thing I haven't seen anyone bring...

I didn't spend much time trying to figure it out, but I found XC2's battle system overly confusing. Maybe I'm just special needs, IDK. XC1 played like an MMO, XCX doesn't seem very complicated at all. Then XC2 is all weird and throws tons of new things at you in the first few hours. I...

::shakes violently:: EVERQUESSST

Personally what I think is dumb is that AAs are all still the same level as before, so with every new expansion you get a bunch of new AA that you can't actually buy because your level is too low. And everything that you can buy is autogranted post-55, so you don't really gain anything from...

Back during all the bathroom brouhahas, I remember asking people if we really needed to be overhauling the nation's bathrooms and adding a third one (as many were suggesting) or changing them all to non-gendered, to accomodate 0.03% of the population. Someone yelled at me that people still...

WWE vs AEW should be heating up now with HHH running things. This'll get good.

Like 23:7 or so caster:melee. We generally field one ranger, one rogue, one BST, a couple monks, a couple zerks. Then a zillion wizards/mages/necros. This will probably change at 60 though, OOW moves the game into meleequest...under normal circumstances.

"Borrowed power" is that like, artifact weapons and such that give you temporary power increases while the current phase of the game is going on? Cause I hate that shit. In EQ you can quit for a few years and come back and you still have all your AAs and relevant gear and the game plays the...

Yeah, I'll get the DF pre-purchase and get SL out of that, then blast through it before DF. Would feel less like a waste of money if I got both of them for the price of one. That's another thing I wanted to mention in my "how do people get that much content out of WoW" post. When it...

Weapon Affinity AA and DoTs are my friend in situations like this, behold what a 10 level minus does to melee DPS...

Does the fake Rajaah on Yelinak even play? Every time I pop on there they aren't on. Yoinked the name in the first hour of server-up and then vanished. If it were a regular player who just happened to pick the name that'd be fine but it looks like someone jacked it just to keep me out of it...

I'm guessing dashboard/UI HDR is a source of burn-in? My 2016 LG OLED C6 has some serious burn-in problems at this point and I think it's from UIs, given the pattern of the faded lines onscreen. Hopefully there's a way to fix it. I'm trying not to leave anything stagnant onscreen with my new...
