    I'm kind of pissed that I missed 1.31 MATIC this morning. It's 1.51 now which would still be a deal, but 1.31 would have been *chef's kiss*. Solana has absolutely nosedived, down to 93 which is the lowest I've seen it. 82 this morning. Has taken by far the biggest dumpus of any of the major...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It always gets me when people who rail on the MSM for their dishonest bullshit turn around and cite the MSM when it agrees with them. "They're wrong in everything else, but not on this one thing". Regardless, looks like the crypto markets took a massive dump early this morning, probably in...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Naw, you have way more than enough on your plate already! The Bioshocks aren't really puzzle games though. They're more like the Metroid Prime series, sort of first-person adventures. I like the first two and their focus on booby traps and strategy of that nature (or you can just bulldoze...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Leadership AAs might be some of what I was thinking of as well, because I grinded all of them. Completely maxed-out leader AAs. It was a good impetus to start my own groups constantly, which is how I got anything done back then.

    Just noticed I'm coming up on my 50th platinum trophy. It'll probably be either Code Vein or Rift Apart, maybe GOTG if I can find it. Time for a quick trip down trophy memory lane: Fallout 4 not being at a full 100% really bothers me. Like a lot. I need to find out what I'm missing and go do...

    Guardians of the Galaxy was on my shortlist for this challenge, but I can't find the game anywhere! Got it like two months ago at half price and didn't get to it in the first contest. It has completely poofed. I know it's around here somewhere, and I gotta say, this is pretty bizarre. I've never...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Looking at that raidloot link for AAs, it's amazing what a difference class makes in AA totals. For example, Monk/Rogue/Zerker have around 900 AAs from Underfoot, while Ranger/Paladin/SK are in the 1600 area. I jotted down the totals across the board for Bard since they seem to be the most...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I'd like to see one normal and one experimental server each time around. One with a 4x baseline exp modifier worldwide, a "try different classes" server where you're encouraged to reach max level and reroll and try everything. I don't think there has been a server like that before. People will...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    There are some pretty big quest-related reasons for Freeport staying the way it is, plus those zones would look super-dated if reverted. What they could do is revamp all of those zones AGAIN and give them the exact same layouts they had originally, only with modern visuals / polygon count, add...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Huh, I don't know why I thought there were around 400. I must be thinking of OoW, since I played through OoW and GoD in the same timeframe, hit max level and started AAing in WoS. So the two blend together for me to an extent. PoP and Luclin both also have WAY more AAs than 160. The devs were in...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    A lot of regular group-level players couldn't get any use out of GoD past Natimbi, too. So the whole expansion was just a muddy beach with stonemites for those people, setting foot in Qinimi or even the steps outside of it was basically just death. I guess Abysmal Sea had its uses for those...

    In the immortal words of Scott Pilgrim, "now I'm sad!" You make some sound points here though. Looks like some rocky days are ahead. I still fully believe that by 2024/2025 we're going to see a price surge unlike any before following the next Bitcoin halving. It'd be nice if we got the normal...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    How I'd do it: 2022: Luclin Remake Pt 2 (Mayong) 2023: PoP Remake Finale (Loruella, Earth/Water) 2024: Muramites return (not a GoD remake, but something vaguely similar with them invading Alaris or something) with the 4th and final Rider as the endboss. I'd have the first zone of Alaris be the...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    You're a bitch for all this. I'm just kidding, I agree. They did a pretty good job with the Kunark remake and I think a lot of people were happy to get a fleshed-out version of Kunark with tons of quests, etc. The quality level went way downhill for the Velious remake, especially the back half...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I'm just gonna put this out there, the BIC quest was the best quest I've ever done in EQ. That alone makes GoD a worthwhile expansion. Though admittedly I haven't done the Artisan's Prize or some of the bigger tradeskill quests (Eron's Jewelry, Aid Grimel) but I doubt they've got anything on...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    How do you get all your GoD AAs on day one? Bank 130 beforehand and Deep AOE for ten hours? IIRC there are like 400 AAs for the average class in GoD. If that's a "get all your AAs on day one" expansion then so are PoP and Luclin. Edit: Nevermind, I'm wrong

    The Loss-Pron Thread

    Don't have any screenshots for the loss porn, but I'm down about 62% in my entire crypto portfolio since October. I mean everyone's down a fair amount right about now but I also rode the Shiba Slide for 3 months before this.

    You never lose money until you sell, but you lose time by staying in something that isn't working. Over the 4 months or so that I sat in SHIB while it lost value, I could have been trading in various other things that were all gaining value. Also I'm trading pretty emotionlessly. Weirdly...

    That'd be pretty interesting, flip everything on its head. I hope the Alex Jones guy on the TV turns out to be right about whatever he was saying in that one blurb.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I should just take off and sell all my ETH from orbit. It's the only way to fix everything. Edit: I did it, but it probably won't accomplish much. MATIC at 1.60 right now is a pretty good long-term buy, probably a lot better than ETH's price point, who knows though. Gonna see what everything...

    Peacemaker

    Saw all four episodes. I like the show but I also don't like it. Every other word is fuck, and after a while you're wondering if anyone on the show has a fucking vocabulary. It also has that Modern Show Syndrome where everyone is hostile all the time, especially women to men (except the black...

    I like COD campaigns too but I haven't tried any Black Ops because I heard so much bad stuff about their campaigns. I liked the single-player campaigns in Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, Vanguard, Cold War, and really liked WW2. The big glaring omission is the Modern Warfare series...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Vanguard, I think that's the class I played in 1 and 2. Being able to zip around the battlefield with the body-crash move while unloading shotguns was a good time. I've got KOTOR 1 and 2 on the OG Xbox and I've been meaning to give them a run for years. Lucked out and found both of them at a...

    The Mandela Effect

    Berenstein Bears was my first encounter with the Mandela Effect stuff. At some point in the early 2000's or late 90's I saw a Berenstain Bears book and thought it was a typo, then saw a bunch more and wondered why they changed it. I had a bunch of the Berenstein books as a kid, and I know the...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    I found ME3 to be way more of a shooter and way less of an RPG, compared to ME2 and especially ME1. Might just be because of my class choice. I chose the class that dashes and uses shotguns/melee for the first two, then the default soldier for the third. ME3 is still a very good shooter, just...

    Zelda: Spirit Tracks is so goddamn awful. Phantom Hourglass has the same annoying stylus controls that give you elbow cramps (meanwhile, the D-Pad and analog stick are just sitting there DOING NOTHING) but Spirit Tracks adds all kinds of new even-more tedious shit. Not only do you have to use...

    I feel like tonight's Dynamite is the best show they've put on in like 2-3 months. Pretty much since Full Gear, things have been in a bit of a slump. Tonight didn't have a single bad segment (well, it isn't over yet, but yeah). Lots of really good stuff on this episode and they're doing a great...

    Who's the third mythical? Manaphy? I started with the Fire guy, caught Luxray (in his first form...best decision I made all game was building him up), got Dialga later on from the story. Mew and Jirachi...the game just GIVES to you in the second town for some reason. I think you have to beat...

    Yeah, Valhalla is WAAAAAAY the hell too long. The crazy part is that the main complaint people had across the board about Odyssey was that it was too long / drawn-out. So they literally doubled-down with Valhalla and made it take a goddamn age and a half. The game itself isn't good enough to...

    Finished Pokemon Brilliant Diamond. Had some fun with the naming, went with the Fire starter and it was definitely the right choice. I feel like Fire (later Fire/Fighting) is the best starter in Gen 2, 3, AND 4 (don't remember anything after that) by far, like it isn't even close. Considering...

    I thought Griff because he's so generic and Pillman Jr made a good impression out of the gate, but after seeing both in action so many times... I'm gonna say neither is the Janetty and both have a future. But if one's gonna fall off, I think it'll be Pillman Jr. I see big things for Young Griff...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I noticed that about LOTRO. While EQ and WoW really kind of "start" at endgame (or at least, getting to max level is just step one of the overall journey), LOTRO is the opposite. There's very little endgame content, at least when I checked in on it. There was like, one 12-man raid at the end of...
