    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Okay take a step back here. One of my favorite dungeons ever created in any game is Blackrock Depths. It is very obviously a love letter to its predecessors like Guk or Seb. Now, running that place with its scripted events and cool shit in it the first few times? Awesome. Beyond that, it's like...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Commendable because using modern tools to create something with EQ's basic architecture is a lot easier than in 1999. Zones load in seconds now. Although WOW's seemless zone transition was and is a cool development within the genre.

    Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan

    These are explicitly meant to be damaging. Not to just lul at people. Not sure why you can't understand that. As you can see below the media is picking it up and making the rounds with it now...

    Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan

    Here's another example of SBC pulling a ruse on someone to accuse them of pedophilia. So funny! https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/watch-sacha-baron-cohen-trick-roy-moore-into-pedophile-detector-test-704620/

    Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan

    Yes, Rudy absolutely should be ridiculed and laughed at. No questions there. But you aren't talking about surprising someone with a pie in the face. You're setting up someone so you can accuse them of something completely disgusting (and a crime) and have the media misrepresent it to smear...

    Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan

    Pretty much. I don't know why you're this dense. Yes Borat can have some funny moments. Doesn't mean that all he's doing in 2020 is apparently making "jokes" to be used as political fodder rather than just to make people laugh. As they are all specifically meant to be damaging rather than haha lol.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    There were certainly a lot of complete trash dungeons in EQ that nobody ever went to. Nearly all of them had at least something to go after though and EXP bonuses. I liked that you could go off the beaten path in those dungeons and just do your own thing. If you wanted. But yes everyone will...

    Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan

    The sole reason to do that is to create the optics that Old Rudy is into underage girls. Regardless of what actually happened.

    Ulduar Hardmode was a genius design IMO. I loved that shit. Of course, they immediately shit on it and never tried it again.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It goes without saying that the EQ developers never intended camping to even be a thing. They presumed people would dungeon crawl for stuff then exit. Not find convenient spaces in the zone where mobs didn't path(Safe Hall in Guk), use invisibility spells to get there, and set up shop. That was...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The biggest thing that MMOs really need to make it a World and not just another game with a social aspect is to make the world scary. You need to fear death and the environment around you. And know that wandering into some random location can mean your death. Which would be inconvenient or at...

    The D&D thread

    This is one of my favorite thing to do when I have power-hungry players. You want to advance you have to deal with an incredibly eccentric, dangerous, and totally batshit legendary crafter of some kind who will ask completely ridiculous bullshit of you. Oh boy does it piss off munchkins when the...

    GTA4 and RDR2 were their worst games. I really hated a lot about GTA4.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have a similar situation. My ex who ran out on me has been asking around our former friend group about me. This has stopped or at least it's no longer an issue. But she did try to follow me on Instagram. Which I only use to look at naked women. She didn't message me or try to or anything but...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Writing good characters is actually quite difficult. Even in BG2's roster some of them were terrible, or at least super boring and lame. This was countered by having extremely memorable characters like Minsc. However, never in all of my dozens of playthroughs of BG2 have I EVER included this...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Good idea. So I don't want to get into agile methodology too hard because it's a buzzword and seriously nobody applies it in the way it was meant to. As it very specifically should only work in software development. Nonetheless if you use Jira organize your work into "sprints" all of our teams...

    IDK what your workflow is like but we use Jira for everything. We devs use it, IT uses it, Finance and shit use it. It's really customizable with a little dev time.

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    This was huge when I was in the Army at Fort Huachuca in 2005. My idiot roommate was this pipsqueak of a guy (maybe 110 lbs soaking wet) named Jones. I came in and he was writhing on the ground after drinking like two bottles of the robo moaning about dragons. I shit you not. They all called it...

    Verdict: Smells really good but disgusting unless you both use almond milk (or regular milk) and blender it.

    Any hope for this painting?

    Maybe you should ask someone here if they have a kid under 10 who will paint this for you. I am 99% certain all of them could at least do it equally as well.

    Ashes of Creation

    This is one MMO that will most likely release in the next 3 years. One that, at least, took considerations from the genre into account. I'll take it.

    What did you just read?

    I don't care about the French per se. When it comes to serial whodunits and similar I like ones that are generally absurd or comical. Travis McGee novels are fun and out there while still being mundane. Same with Tim Dorsey. I think of it as a byproduct of the books I grew up with. My parents...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Not like where you make a linear choice and it changes the ending of the quests (but it'll have that too) but where you get choices on how to execute it. Like in their example of the turf war with the roid rage bois. You can be a super strength roid rage yourself and tear out doors and whatever...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    That is the vibe I'm getting. Mix in the Deux Ex Style of narrative with multiple routes to resolve missions.
