    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Did some more with this. Had a blast in Hirata Manor in particular, that place makes you feel super-badass. Something about sneaking around a heavily-guarded place at night in the rain and assassinating everybody. Got to both of the early big bosses, horseback guy and Lady Butterfly. Got...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'm still seeing people (often people who haven't even tried it) trashing Elden Ring for "inaccessibility" and having difficulty that doesn't accomodate players, and not having an easy mode. I don't get it. ER is probably the easiest Soulsborne game, and accomodates people of all skill levels...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    WoW will never have enchanters. Their opinion of their playerbase is waaaaay too low to introduce a complex class like that that could frighten people off. ...and they're probably right.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I've always thought that WoW needed to do what EQ does and have the previous expansion(s) still have viable content to do during the current expansion. In ANY given EQ expansion, people are still doing stuff from the past 1-4 expansions (depending on era) because there are still things WORTH...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah, I realized that later after I posted. Meleequest is in full swing after the initial rush is over. Maybe I'll go Ranger after all and save Mage for the next normal TLP.

    I'm more or less in the same boat. Have Thursday off but I'm just gonna end up working extra time because I'm still making up lost time from Elden Ring hijacking my life for a few weeks. Anyone planning on running the April contest? I don't want to step on any toes, but maybe I'll run the...

    Smartphones

    Got a weird question. Was watching The Raid 2 and at one point the main character takes the SIM card out of his phone, licks it, and puts it back in. He does this at a time when he's under heavy surveillance and needs to make some calls that he doesn't want traced, which he makes after...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Does Zoo drop it? I thought it required Ikkinz+ instances. Regardless, I got it in era myself, but I remember seeing several zerkers over the next few expansions who didn't have it and couldn't get help to go back and redo the raids. Much easier to just get it done while everybody is splitting...

    I'm not the only one saying that the IRS is getting "weaponized". It's all over the place: https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+biden+is+weaponizing+the+irs&cvid=885235e973da4c8bbde874dbec0d0fa7&aqs=edge..69i57.4321j0j1&pglt=771&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=LCTS There's a concerted effort to increase its reach...

    Definitely WW2 because of the historical component of doing battles that really happened. They had good attention to detail in terms of what weapons were used when (like you'll see more modern machine guns in 1945 battles and mostly older rifles in 1941 battles). Advanced Warfare is #2 because...

    Rogan's show has been worse lately. He also had this CIA guy on recently who just spread Ukraine misinformation (well, CIA misinformation really) for the whole show and Rogan wasn't calling him on anything. At least, from the clips I saw. For example, pushing the idea that the 2014 Ukraine...

    He's right. If the media covered anything else, it'd be way harder for the race vultures to pretend that The Police are the thing causing over 40% of young black male deaths to be from fuckin' homicide every year. FORTY PERCENT

    Playstation 5

    The current PS Plus price is $60 a year, right? I'll probably stick with that, never really use PS Plus for anything except online playing anyway. A Gamepass type subscription has its appeal, but I already have a backlog shelf with like 40 things on it.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    If I do this TLP I think I'll run a Mage this time. I seem tapped-out on monk and necro (my old standbys) and I've played pretty much everything else extensively at this point except Ranger. While Ranger would be good in this era too, Mage is a curiosity for me and I could try pushing the meta a...

    I took a swing at Resident Evil 1 Remastered last night. Man, even with the tank controls changed to normal controls, it just feels so clunky and disorienting with the constant camera angle switches. I don't know if I've got it in me to play this even though I've wanted to for years. I think...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Question I've had about mages for a while: What normal pet surpasses their epic pet in overall power? I always assumed the 65 pet in PoP, since their epic is one of the harder ones to get and I'd be surprised if it were immediately obsoleted by, say, the 61 pet or something in Luclin.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    It's true. I love zerker and it's my class of choice the rare times when it's actually available, but it's pretty damn bland from 1-60. Shar Vahl is a pretty bad Origin point too if you go cat. I still recommend going zerker if the interest is there, cause it pays off later (level 70 era and...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Reaver comes to mind as a level 1 usable weapon with a 1:1 ratio. When I returned to EQ in 2017 as a zerker, that's what I used from level 1 on Phinny. A faster 2H makes more sense for level 1-20 (until the damage cap eases) but you fly through those levels fast anyway. Could look for an 11...

    Justice League (2017)

    Thanos probably = Darkseid since he was based on him. So the question is, how would Superman do against Darkseid one-on-one? I have no clue. They can both whoop Steppenwolf's ass. DeSaad or Goodness are probably closer to Superman but likely also not as strong as him. I'm sure someone who is...

    When I see someone constantly using "black" and "white" and capitalizing the former but not the latter, I stop reading. When do "brown" people get capitalization? Latinos must be pissed nowadays.

    How much are you selling the PS5 for? I have a friend who has been looking for ages and doesn't want to buy from a scalper. Dunno if this is a good time for him to make a purchase or not but I can pass it along.

    Finished the new Kirby game. Pretty good, definitely not worth $60 though. Played on hardmode (well it's more like normal) and only 3 fights all game presented any kind of challenge. It does get a ton of inspiration from Dark Souls, though, which is kind of interesting.

    It seems borderline idiotic to release a server that starts in GoD at the same time that the last round of servers are in GoD. Like, you're just splitting the population for no reason. They've done this sort of thing before, though.

    Yeah, Craigslist is total ass. Nothing ever goes well on there. Had to look for an apartment a while back and Craigslist did me no favors, out of the 20 or so ads I emailed, only one of them was a real place that I went and looked at. Rest either didn't answer or were scams (over half of them)...

    Creating as few taxable events as possible is something we should all keep in mind going forward. The IRS is basically militarized now and audits are going to be a lot more common than they used to be. Wouldn't surprise me to see people on the wrong side of the political spectrum finding...

    I don't care about his wife or him standing up for her. Whatever empathy I've got for the guy and his situation is in spite of his completely retarded family. Sure he's rich and has everything, but he's also a human cracking under the pressure and all the bullshit. I'm sure he'll be fine either...

    Ayanna Pressley is my least-favorite person in politics. I'm not saying Will Smith is right, but I understand what led him to this point and pushed him over the edge as a fellow man. Cernovich is right though, it is a perfect encapsulation of our times. Responsibility for one's own actions...

    A lot of open relationships start because the guy is successful and wants to bang as many women as possible. Then after a while he realizes that, with his busier schedule and his being male, it's actually the wife who is doing most of the open relationship banging. I've seen this happen in...
