    JRPGs

    Yeah, as someone who mostly plays portable mode, the Switch OLED screen is a huge improvement. I'd actually prefer this to a Switch Pro. However the time is drawing near where a Switch Pro is starting to feel kind of necessary. Switch games look so antiquated on my TV compared to PS5 games...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, revenants and the big iron maiden robots are the two enemies I pretty much never actually fought, just noped out and walked past them.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I learned something new today: The proc on this is a lifetap, not a straight poison DD like the description implies. It might be a poison-based lifetap, I don't know, but it's a lifetap. Lifetap procs are rare at this stage so that's pretty cool. Anyone know exactly what mob type...

    JRPGs

    I wish I could get into the Xenoblade games the way I got into the older Xeno games. They're so different though. I want sci-fi space operas, and XB1/2 seemed more like generic JRPGs.

    Playstation 5

    What's the deal with always-on HDR? Why's it a bad thing? I don't know much about this stuff except that HDR is contrast and makes game look gud. First TV I got with HDR was when I was midway through FFXV and I remember how blown away I was by how much better it looked. Similarly, what's the...

    What are you playing?

    I've had a lot of trouble getting into anything in the Post Elden Ring Era, but I managed to knock a couple more things off. Uncharted 4 is what I'm working on now, as well as Memories of Celceta (Ys 4 remake). They're both short (10-15) but it's taking me a while to get through them. Next up...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I completely agree that there's no issue whatsoever with GTA having a female protagonist. They aren't replacing some long-standing hero John Connor style, they're introducing another new main in a series that has a new main in every game. If people are gonna be fussing about GTA6 having a...

    I don't think I've ever avoided a game over wokeness. I wasn't too keen on Horizon 2 at first because I thought they made Aloy look like a man, but it turned out to be a lot of nothing. Last of Us 2 is something I have very little interest in, but not because of the wokeness, more because they...

    GG lads, well done. Say hi to Poubelle, fellow OGCer. I hope we get around to doing some Ele bosses this week just for the challenge's sake, but we'll see. I'm guessing they're pretty bad-ass at 55. I'm not playing as much this week, mostly just waiting for 60 at this point... gotta remember...

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    What gets me are people who complain about having to see drama and guild feuding, saying stuff like "don't you have anything better to do" Usually the same kind of people who respond to other people's accomplishments with some variation of "who cares, it's an X year old game lol" When people...

    It's pretty awesome how many YT channels have had meteoric rises since the Rittenhouse trial just by offering honest and upfront interpretations of what happened and how it was handled. People dropped the MSM news media and moved towards those channels in record droves in the timeframe since...

    This particular pose really does it for me. Not necessarily here but in general. So goddamn feminine.

    Everquest Confessions

    This reads like a creepypasta where you're the villain. I've never jacked anyone's AIM logs or known how to, but I did get access to the officer board of a guild I was in once. Officers + clique members had access, but not us peasants. They had an entire thread dedicated to talking shit about...

    Oh, I have an EQ Confession that spills into the real world. Again, it involves a girl and me being a jackass. So when I was 19, I met this girl in EQ who was 17. Yeah, don't arrest me officer, etc. She was a very good player, and an awesome person, nice to everyone, talented, and interesting...

    Fallout 4

    FO1/2 are hard to get into because the QOL and everything are just way too archaic for most people. It desperately needs the kind of overhaul that Baldur's Gate got. If the corporate overlords aren't going to do it, then the modding community is the answer. I'm personally waiting for some kind...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Shadowlands doesn't have a physical release? Yikes. I have big-box copies of a bunch of the others on a shelf somewhere. Does Shadowlands ever go on sale? Not keen on paying $50 for a digital-only version of something so poorly-reviewed. I'd still like to play through it once, but I never got...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I know the feeling, EQ ate up nearly all of my game time from mid 2004 through mid 2008. I don't think I beat a single video game in all of 2005. The only games I took any real detours to play over those four years were Metroid Prime 2 and WoW Burning Crusade. This meant I missed out on a ton...

    Fallout 4

    Yeah I hate that too. It never pans out either. Like not once has someone told me that and I've found it to be true. Usually I dislike the game just as much at hour whatever than I did earlier. As far as FO4 goes I'm sure I'll get a dopamine hit from finishing it, if I ever do that. Every time...

    Fallout 4

    This is the only platinum trophy I have on Playstation that doesn't have a 100% next to it, and that drives me NUTS for some reason. I did enjoy some of it. I really liked the first ten hours or so, and Far Harbor. So it isn't like I suffered for 110 hours, I had fun at points. Unfortunately...

    Once a political discussion starts up, they snowball quickly, and pretty soon the text is scrolling like a Twitch stream. Anyone who sees my political posts on here knows I literally can't resist wading into the fray, especially if "my side" is making dumb points and needs some help. Well...

    Everquest Confessions

    When I was 14 in 1997, I met a girl in a game called Terris. She was cool and seemed into me and kept wanting to group up. After a few weeks of me giving her stuff and us grouping up religiously, one day she just abruptly broke things off with an "I'm not into you anymore" spiel and never talked...

    Ended up doing kind of a semi-SSF on here the last two mornings, level 10 now. People said you have to be level 10 to solo in Befallen, so I went there at 6. Had a few instances of pulling mobs to zonein and root parking them to split the room up. If I keep going with this, I need a few more...

    Highlander

    The two swords with a more generic one for comparison. I definitely recommend the Marto (bottom) swords if you want a real Highlander replica. It feels spot-on. The more generic one (middle) has a slightly wider and stronger blade, and is probably a lot more durable. However it feels like it's...

    Emperor Ssraezsha's sword, bay bay Really impressed with BR on this latest Emp fight, things went super-poorly in the first 10% and there were a few times where I thought we wiped. Everyone pulled it together and we got a slow and steady win despite how dire it looked at the outset. Another...

    They'll probably beat CBQ before us too since, like LDON, we aren't exactly rushing to get to it. I don't even know what a CBQ fight will look like on this server yet.

    Fallout 4

    I've got something like 110 hours on the PS4 version with 90% trophies. Been wanting to finish this off for ages. Everything I have left is either A) Weird settlement-building stuff that I can't get to work right and am not too interested in, or B) Nuka-World dog-fighting and recipe collecting...

    We never actually tried Curse Reborn until last night because we were in no rush to get to it and were gearing our tanks instead. We're doing a very different route than Rusty. We have five warriors around 8k/700+ which sets us up for the next round of bosses (Time/GoD) where tank durability is...

    Cleric'd for a while early this morning, got to level 6 with nothing but a Fine Steel Morning Star. A LIVELY political discussion erupted in general chat, especially for like 7 AM EST. I'd say the population on here is doing pretty well. I of course waded into the discussion. Later, well after...

    JRPGs

    I think I'm gonna play the scenarios in chronological order, so the caveman first. Back in the day I started with the Edo Japan scenario, and it's probably the longest and most complex out of all of them. I'm finishing up with Ys: Memories of Celceta and I'll prolly do LAL next. For anyone who...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I've been watching the two Fantastic Four movies for the first time. Jessica Alba is so unbelievably hot in 2004 or whatever this is. Really enjoyed the first one, that was a great time. Doctor Doom in this movie is even more Elon Musk-ish than Tony Stark is. It'd be awesome if they retconned...
