    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    Maybe I'll play on this TLE, just like a year in or something so I can avoid unlock waits to a point. @Mur Or I can check out Maj'Dul, yeah. TBH I'd rather go SK than Necro anyway so I'll give that a shot.

    Love, Death & Robots

    Watched the first few episodes of S2, gonna catch up this week. The giant drowned man episode was good, felt like something written in the 1800's. The guy's musings on the deterioration of the body, etc. Then Michael B Jordan trapped with an EMMI was really good. Maybe it's because I played...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    After reading this thread, I'm gonna run a Necro on EQ2 eventually and see as much content as I can solo. Liked the first fifteen levels or whatever I did back in 2008. Might as well when I have an all-access EQ sub anyway. Have unfinished business with WoW and LOTRO, and an ongoing EQ1 thing...

    Hawkeye

    Just went on Netflix and watched that Edge of Seventeen movie with Hailie Steinfeld in it. It's actually good. The main character is kind of insufferable for a lot of it but I think that's the point. Her hot best friend looked like a younger Yelena and everything with her was cool. I...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I misread this as Warriors and Celtics for a second. Thought "hey that'd be a pretty good NBA Finals", then remembered I haven't given a shit about the NBA for two years.

    Had a crash on the MAX 15 today. Error was "Driver Power State Failure". Wasn't doing anything intensive at the time, just reading on here. Had such a bad time with my previous laptop that every time this one does anything I get slightly freaked out that maybe I should return it while I can...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    For most people GoD/OoW is early era. Early era ends somewhere in the level 70 expansions, maybe PoR at the latest. Middle era is TSS through RoF (level 100) or so, and Current era is COTF+ where all the expansions are basically standardized. Those 3 eras are very distinct from one another. For...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I have a friend who loves the look of Elden Ring and has been reading/watching material about it for months, but hasn't actually gotten it because he thinks it's too hard/stressful to play. Basically he bought into all the "it needs an easy mode" whacktivists. I maintained that an easy mode...

    Yeh, the 2024 election is gonna be the least "actual issue" oriented election in my lifetime so far. The majority of the actual issues and the state of the US make the choice obvious at this point if the R candidate is halfway competent. So instead of issues, they will need to heavily focus on...

    SHM or ENC or NEC LFG, guess I'm in for launch after all if there are any groups left with room. I'll play whichever, not actually set on anything. Edit: Got scooped up

    The "Defeat Rajaah" Backlog Challenge (Ends May 31st @ 11:59 PM EST)

    We're down to the last ten days of the challenge! Let's see some last-minute submissions. I've only got Monday and Tuesday free, but I've got two of those pairs left. Might try to knock out Resident Evil 1 and 2 finally, maaaybe Nuka-World if I want to suffer. Cuphead and FNAF 5 are both close...

    How tough is this game? About on par with the first one? I found the difficulty of that one to be just right.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah, various monx did ask him if he could go for piercers or blunts instead and leave the H2H to monks (in those eras H2H > the others for monks) and he basically refused, said he was an H2H collector and entitled to it because of all the DKP he'd earned. This was also in a guild back in 2008...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Pretty much. In OGC there was always kind of an unspoken honor system where most people wouldn't bid each other up. Probably 95% of the time that I went in on a weapon and someone started to bid it up, they stop and delete their bids. Stuff like that. Items that are clearly for a specific class...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Story about morale-crushing: Once I was guilded with a beastlord who was a long-time 100% RA guy. Didn't play at all outside of raids, but never missed a raid tick. Refused to use any weapons besides Hand-to-Hand, despite having other weapon choices / H2H being super rare for us at the time /...

    Dip this morning. Wondering if it's FUD from Monkey Pox news. If the usual suspects decide to run with this as their latest scare campaign, we're in for a huge drop across the board soon. Maybe even another March 2020 type buying opportunity.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    The big shiny murder stick was often the main thing that mattered in a given expansion for a zerk though. I'll get whatever other upgrades I can, but a BIS weapon is paramount and takes every priority. Not sure if any other class is that reliant on / gains so much from a single slot compared to...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I was usually that BIS guy. As a zerker, my 2H weap is the single most important item in the inventory. I'd make sure I got a BIS weap every expansion, at the expense of other slots. If that also means being the only guy in the guild lobby with the VOA holy mallet or the SOF Tjudawos purple...

    Taking bets on the AEW video game actually releasing in September. I'd say there's zero chance of that myself, maaaaaybe December. ...of 2023. Keep seeing news reports that AEW has spent $40 million on it, or even $80 million. TBH either of those are likely absurd suggestions. Last official...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, there is no basement rendered under the arenas. I think the elevators actually go up, to bring people to the stands to watch the PVP instead of participating. Didn't know that about the center area, figured it was just a great big ocean. If there's a giant empty square there, then yeah...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    There are 3 arenas in the game that are all locked, and apparently they're all identical: Not sure what the point of these places is. A PVP arena would be awesome (especially if it allows lots of players at once) but why have 3 of them? Maybe the idea was that each one would have a different...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Seems like Vaniki is losing raiders at an alarming rate unless they make some changes in the next week. Not even sure I'll play on it myself now, might do the launch rush for fun and krono-farming (and the 40-50 rush since it'll be inside of a month's sub) but I don't think I'll stick around...

    I wish I'd made a Matic buy today when it was at .68 or so, at .72 now. Still a steal but yeah. If it drops again, it might be the play for the reasons I mentioned above. Lots more upside than BTC for a spike, unless all altcoins crash. I think it's the best altcoin, though.

    Hawkeye

    Here's the track from the end of ep 2, when they introduce Echo in the room full of subwoofers and red light. The way the show segues into the credits with this continuing to play was awesome.

    I felt bad for the owl after his tree got knocked down. However, he made off with the mini-van so he at least got a meal out of it.

    Hawkeye

    Agreed on Hawkeye/Kate/Yelena all being insanely charismatic. Unfortunately it looks like the only main character to get their own show at the moment is Echo, who I found the least charismatic of the four "good guys" by far.

    Hawkeye

    Finished it, that was a great movie-and-a-half. I could always go for more Yelena. The last episode with the Christmas Tree and the heart-to-heart talk about Black Widow was good. Speaking of Black Widow, whoever that was who played her during the Avengers Broadway thing...was hot as fuck...

    Hawkeye

    Renner is 5'10'' and Steinfeld is 5'8''. Renner is probably below-average for a guy in size and Steinfeld is above-average for a girl. The real question is how the suit fit Grills who was like 6'4''. Just finished Ep 2. That Depeche Mode scene that segued into the credits was one of the best...

    Hawkeye

    Just started this. I thought Jazz Jennings was gonna be the new Hawkeye, like they set that up at the beginning of Endgame. Did they switch out Jazz for Hailie Steinfeld because Jazz is having nervous breakdowns in RL or something? Also what's going on with Jazz's face? It's like one half of...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    What ashes of war did you do with Rivers of Blood? I'll probably use that in the late game of my Samurai build. Half-naked blacksmith tranny is one of the weirder things about the game for me. I'd rather if we'd just fought Marika but whatever.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I haven't played in a bit, don't have access to my PS5, and honestly forgot: Do Ash of Wars add special attacks to weapons? Or are they just the thing that transforms them into Keen / etc weapons for scaling/effects? When I do a third playthrough with dual frost/blood weaps I'm gonna need to...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    There are very limited possibilities as to what these drones are. The only countries on Earth that could conceivably produce them are the US and China. I don't think Russia could, as their military is designed to be defensive like Japan and Israel's are. Russia can't project power outside of the...

    Video removed, what was it? I'm pretty interested in creepy shit from forests. Heard a few sounds myself that I couldn't identify in upstate Vermont, plus there seem to be a lot of videos out there of weird sounds in the woods by fairly credible campers. The "wooping" seems to be the most...

    What I'm doing now is waiting to see what the bottom actually is, yeah. We'll see if the 18k people are correct, or the 27k people. I got out at 31k. The lower I buy back in, the better shot I have at a major recoup. Or it could suddenly take off into the 30's, who knows at this point. If...
