    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Finished the video. IMO, he actually sounds really apprehensive about it and hedges his words a lot. Like he doesn't want to sound negative about it, but he's also uncertain about what he saw. It seemed like the Q&A with the showrunners was the main thing he was positive about rather than the...

    Digital Camera Assistance

    Is this the camera thread? Just wondering how this guy's video has such popping colors: Is it the camera he's using, or is he adding a warmth filter of some kind in post (or camera settings)? What do people think? 7:09 is a good spot to see the colors. Also the lego store before that, or the...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Oh nice, Big Ben is finally renovated. I've never actually seen Big Ben (a childhood dream) because every time I've gone to England as an adult, it's been covered up by scaffold for renovations. Edit: This guy's video has bright colors, wonder how he does that. No way these places are this...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Surprised they haven't announced a Fantastic Four movie yet. Phase 4 also doesn't seem to have an end-movie like the others did. It just goes right from Phase 4 to Phase 5 some time soon. I can't really wrap my head around that. What differentiates Phase 4 and 5? I'll say this though, I...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Yeah, I've got two episodes left and it has grown on me. Dare I say I kinda want to also watch Hawkeye and F+WS now. These shows are basically the length of 2 modern movies so it isn't like they really take much investment. I'm sure I'll eat my words on F+WS but I'm guessing I'll like Hawkeye at...

    Pretty much this. It's easy to panic-sell, especially if you're trying to stop the blood-loss and aren't sure when it's going to hit bottom. Like do you sell at 31k when you're down, in case it blows down into the 20's? Seems like a terrible idea so you don't, but you could end up being wrong...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    EXP requirements get truly obscene after level 220 or so. If you get to like NG++ and grind the Mohgwyn Palace entrance farm with the final boss sword fire-wall move, which is the fastest possible grinding in the game, it'll still take like 20-30 minutes per level after a while. If someone...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I one-shot Dragonlord without much trouble myself, and seeing all of these posts about his difficulty is weird. On the other hand I absolutely struggled with quite a few fights that other people say are easy (like Godrick). This is all proof that people can have wildly different experiences with...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah that shit was mad annoying. People putting messages right on treasure chests is another one. Between this and all the "try jumping" by cliffs and stupid "you don't have the right"s in general and I feel let down by the player base this time out. That's the downside to having a zillion new...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah but I got pretty tired of fucking 1992 Pamela Anderson and at least 2022 Pamela Anderson adds another digit to my scorecard. Same, but I even pretty much did that. Level 255, all the stats I want are softcapped. Went so far as to track down and beat up the couple of dungeons/bosses I...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    DMGS is what I'm using on NG+. Already used Moonveil/Malenia and twinblade extensively. My two main choices for the Faith Samurai from-scratch build are probably double Uchigatana or colossal weapon unga bunga. I've never really liked the big slow weapons so I doubt I'll like them now, but...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    So I can get two platinums for it. I did the same thing with Dark Souls 2, 100%'d SOTFS and then decided to go back and plat the regular version too. I don't do this kind of thing with anything except Fromsoft games and it's a new phenomenon. Really it's just Souls 2 and ER.

    I mean like -over- over. Like no more particularly good runs until 2024 kind of over. Hit 29.8, rebounded sharply...probably from all the buy orders that got tripped when it passed 30k. However, the sharp rebound seemed to top out quickly and might not mean much.

    Salt and Sacrifice

    So this is out now, eh? What are people's thoughts on it so far? Considering getting it in a week or so but I'm not sure if I have the time or energy for it right now if it's as tough as the first one was. But I'll definitely get it at some point, probably sooner than later. The original was SO...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Not that damning. Vaniki got 19% of the vote and Yelinak got 24%, which is a somewhat negligible difference. The majority not being interested in trying either IS a bit damning for this year's TLPs in general, but it could just be fatigue. Hard to say without previous year polls to compare it...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Bitcoin 30k. What the actual fuck. Set my last buy at 37.5k, wish I'd stuck to my previous buy order of 33k that I raised because it kept bouncing upward off of 37. Is the bull run over? Considering capitulation with a 20% loss on this run to avoid a further loss until the market corrects...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    32k Bitcoin today...Jebus, what a bloodbath. Could it break down into the 20's this week? I doubt it, but given that we're on the precipice of a possible economic great depression, it'll be interesting to see if Bitcoin weathers that or moves with everything else.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Yeah I'm pretty tired of people (on both sides) rubbing one out over civil war fantasies. People do it on here, and leftists I know in RL openly wish for something like it to happen. People need to get a grip. Our problem is with the people at the top, but they did a great job dividing all of...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Wait, are they seriously doing that? Damn. I'm not sure if I'm even interested in watching this now. I've had it up to here with hyperfocusing Jan 6 while totally ignoring the billions of dollars in damage done in Minneapolis and other places, which resulted in way more deaths (Jan 6th...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    LOKI UPDATE: Been having fun watching Loki get beat up by the lady timecop, his lady alternate self, and now Lady Sif giving him a comedic pummeling. Is this show actually about him? Starting to wonder if all of this "women can easily kick men's asses" in Marvel movies is some sort of attempt...

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

    Anotha one! I had way too many of these Warriors games to catch up on. This one was the longest by far, probably 3x the length of your average Dynasty Warriors. Was the most fun out of all of them though, due to the magic system among other things.

    I might have already asked this somewhere on the board, but how reliable is the Citra emulator on mobile? I've been waiting for a Dragon Quest 7 official release so I can actually give them my money, but one doesn't seem to be forthcoming, and I've been sitting paused after DQ6 for months now. I...

    What's the deal with Evony? I see ads for it CONSTANTLY. Half the ads are a Youtuber-looking guy being all like "a lot of mobile games have deceptive ads but not this one!" So what the hell is Evony and how bad is it?

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I actually didn't mind America's Moms at all. If she'd been wearing a traditional Pride flag pin rather than the iffy intersectional one, I wouldn't have minded that either. And I barely mind the intersectional pin. It's pretty idiotic to get worked-up or offended by representation that isn't...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Finished Wandavision, was a good time. Just wish I'd watched it before seeing Multiverse of Madness in the theater because that movie makes WAY more sense now. Watching Loki now, on episode 1, not enjoying it. I really like Loki so I was looking forward to seeing him get up to some mischief...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'm gonna finish NG+ and get the PS5 plat first, which is gonna probably take me a couple months at my current rate. But eventually I'm getting the PS4 version and re-platinuming it. For reference, I went dex build on NG, then dex/sorcery on NG+ which I don't like as much. Any ideas for a fun...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Was that from the Ukraine thread? I think I asked about it there because I didn't know there was a new Dozekar. The Claws of Veeshan expansion (re-does Velious) has a bunch of new dragon models in it. They actually look really nice in action, similar to the old models in motion but more...

    Well, I haven't had any other issues with the B key, don't know what that was all about. The keys in general on the Max 15 do feel like they may not be long for this world overall. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the keyboard needs replacement within 2-3 years. They just feel loose and...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    I'll probably play Legends alongside the main game as a diversion whenever I get on the PS5 version of this. It'll make it even more of a big time commitment but that's okay. How hard is the platinum to get? Anything terribly missable to worry about or is it a pretty smooth sailing kind of...

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

    Had a super-weird dream. I picked up Fallout 4 to finish Nuka-World. Except the game was...real? Not sure if it was a VR holodeck thing or what, but I was "in" the game and it all felt completely real. However I still had VATS so it was still a game. I picked up the quest I left off with in...

    "Oh my God! It's that actor! From something else!" The worst is when lots of people don't actually know who it is or what they're from, so people keep yapping after the initial "woooo" and it's all like "that's X" "he was in X movie" "which one was that" etc etc etc SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    WandaVision

    Watched the first four episodes. Favorite part so far was Wanda in a leotard and fishnets. I really liked the first 3 episodes playing with different eras of sitcom. I guess a lot of people hated those but I was entertained and wanted to see more eras get represented, hopefully in further...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Cool. Yeah I'm leaning Wandavision and Loki as far as the shows go. Side Note: If Kang is the Stage 4 villain, I think it's a safe bet Galactus will be the Stage 5 villain. Then Elon Musk (or more likely Disney) can buy both Marvel and DC and mash them together, with Stage 6 having Evil...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    After seeing this movie, I'm definitely gonna go back and watch Wandavision. I like Scarlet Witch a lot more after this movie. Her being such an obsessive mother who wanted her kids to exist in this dimension almost felt like a big pro-life statement. Most of all she felt like a real person who...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Nope, and the post-credits scene was super dumb and unimportant. The movie itself was very good, only thing I didn't like was that America girl being shoehorned into everything, even scenes that would have been fine with just Strange and whoever he was talking to. People in the theater had no...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    It certainly seems that way. However, when the trailer for Avatar 2 came on at the theater, it got more of a reaction from the audience than anything else by far. Only Thor even got somewhat close and it blew away whatever reaction Thor got too. Avatar being absent all this time and not...
