    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Got some extra funds for the first time in a bit, and perfect timing with the lull. Do I get BTC, Eth, or add more to help my struggling alts (VET mainly)? I'm generally inclined to say Eth, but it's at this weird mid-ground where it seems like simultaneously a terrible time to buy and a...

    Metroid Dread

    I'm going to be at Gamestop when they open and see if anyone cancelled their preorders of the Collector's Edition. Also will "100%" according to them be able to get a Switch OLED that day if I want one because they've definitely had a few of those preorders cancelled. $50 from Wal-mart is nice...

    Dark Souls

    I'm getting the impression that Code Vein and then Nioh 1 are the easier ones on the list. That works for me, I was kind of hoping for something like that. I can finally finish Nioh.

    I don't know who's left as far as big returning stars go. In the span of a month, AEW acquired NXT's top star, possibly main roster WWE's top guy, and the #1 WWE wrestler people have wanted to see return for 7 years. Charlotte, Cena, Brock, or Roman might make some waves if they jumped, but it's...

    Dark Souls

    Can I get some opinions on the difficulty scale of my remaining Soulsborne games? AKA rank them from easiest to hardest? I want to play more of these for Halloween but I want to start with whatever's easiest because I haven't played much of anything difficult in months. DS1 is the only one of...

    Those Southeast Asia inspired tunes really do set this one apart. The SNES was capable of some crazy-good sound, in the right hands.

    Actraiser Renaissance

    Yeah, in Ogre Battle I just used my main hero group to kill everything. All of my strongest characters got funneled into that group. Had a secondary group with my other decent characters as backup to help finish off stragglers or run interference, while the primary group beelined right for the...

    Actraiser Renaissance

    Soul Blazer was a prequel to Illusion of Gaia and (Japan-only) Terranigma. I could see all 3 of them getting an HD trilogy release at some point, they were big enough to justify it. Anyone ever play Skyblazer? Now that game was bad-ass. Hardly anyone knew about it, it seemed like.

    Dragon Quest: The Definitive Thread

    Finished DQ5. MAN that game is good. If you never played the Japan-only (for a long time) DQ games, definitely check out the phone or DS port of DQ5. I'm on DQ6 now and I was pretty excited going in because DQ5 left me on such a high. Unfortunately DQ6 has been a big letdown so far. The story...

    Death Stranding

    So basically, no reason to play on Performance? I recently wondered a similar thing about Ghost of Tsushima, because the framerate looked the same on both settings while the resolution was much better on one.

    At this point I'm really wishing I'd sold those alts I was debating selling so that I'd have more money to buy the Ethereum dip with, however low it gets. Not gonna sell the alts now at a 10-15% loss though, obviously.

    It looks like the Reuters Fake News from April is actually true this time. Problem with pushing fake news is that when something real finally happens, it has less of an impact because people think it already happened. Looks like alts dipped today, but barely. It's a drop in the bucket compared...

    This looks really good, super high-effort remaster. They added some new postgame-type content too, it appears. Had no idea this was even a thing in development, I'll definitely put it on the list and go through it eventually.

    Death Stranding

    Same. I'm tired of bothering with the PS4-to-PS5 transitions and having two versions of games downloaded on my system. I'll just buy the PS5 version. I sell games when I'm done with them and make back 50-90% of what I paid for them anyway.

    Thanks, I think that makes sense. My third TV (now in storage) once stopped working after a power outage. Then a couple days after that, it miraculously started working again and didn't have a problem since, until the day that I put it away a couple months ago because I'd bought a C1. I don't...

    Need to get two decent surge protectors and don't want to spend an arm and a leg. One for living room, one for office room. That's where my two TVs are and they're the main things I want to protect. One TV has the PS5 next to it, one has my computers next to it, so I can include those. Don't...

    I said a few pages back that we'd probably have a big dip before the customary end of the year surge, then that happened. Also said Solana seemed like a good bet, then it went on a huge run. I'm on a roll That said we'll see if that roll continues because I'm not too sure about my next move...

    Might have mentioned it already, but those guys made an off-air appearance after Grand Slam and got a massive pop for calling Mayor DeBlasio a bitch. Not to get into politics here in the non-politics thread, but if that kind of anti-Democrat reaction happens in the depths of Queens, NYC, then...

    MJF's contract is up in early 2024. He was signed to one of the longest-term contracts of anybody in the company, maybe THE longest. Even the EVPs generally have 3-4 year contracts. We'll see what happens with all of them come 2022-2024. Though it's worth noting that they've been re-negotiating...

    Yeah, I'm always telling people, the memories are fond especially if you didn't get to play these things very often. Some of my fondest memories are getting a bunch of quarters just to go play Tekken 2 or Samurai Showdown at a pizza place. I didn't get an NES until 15 years after it came out...

    MJF, Ricky Starks, and Ethan Page are incidentally who I consider the future of AEW. Like if the company isn't built around them in five years I'll eat my hat. At least, on the heel side. Hangman, Sammy, and Wardlow are who I see the company being built around on the face side (all due respect...

    I was hoping for 1.5m viewers (or whatever is needed to break the AEW record) and was fairly certain they'd handily beat RAW's .49 demo rather than essentially tie. The fact that this didn't get 1.5m is disappointing to me personally because there was zero reason for this to not break their...

    I'm just gonna give the first one a spin, 2nd looks too weird. I don't know when though. One of these days I might just set aside a week and plow a bunch of the shorter games I have laying around.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I'd love to see the level 70 expansion idea, with one difference: If you're keeping 3 month cycles for level raises, then have DoN/DoD/PoR all release simultaneously (give OoW its own moment, cause with epics it's fine). That gives said expansion launch AAs and plenty of stuff to last 3 months...

    One thing is clear, I need to get Arcade emulation going and finally check out stuff like Aliens and that Double Dragon fighter (that was actually good, not DD5). There are a bunch of other things I missed out on too like King of Fighters / some of the middle Virtua Fighter and Tekken games...

    RAW went all out this week, and gained almost 10% in viewership. They also set the demo rating at a lofty 0.49 IIRC. AEW Grand Slam has a high bar set for it if they want to beat RAW in the demo for the third straight week. I'm sure they will, but it's funny to see WWE trying to stave them off...

    Aliens: Fireteam

    Yeah, I beat this game. The fight with Skynet's CPU is some super-creepy shit. I found the early levels to be the hardest, and after you go back to the present to fight the T-1000 it's generally easier. A lot of Terminator games are like that. There's also a Terminator Salvation arcade game...

    Magestorm was pretty sick. It was my first real 3D online game and man was I into it. Sort of EQ before there was EQ, for me. Just tried out this Aliens game. It plays pretty well, but it also feels like it could be a lot more. Or maybe the first area is just really generic, IDK. One of my...

That's why so much of The Bullshit is so effective at manipulating Americans, because we're fundamentally...

    A friend did it for me, but it seemed pretty simple. Get the right files on a USB thumb drive, get a power cord splitter thing that lets you attach the USB thumb drive and the USB power cord to the same USB jack, start it up. As for the Switch, mine is most likely hackable, since it was the...

    Anyone here ever play Anodyne? It's another indy game with a weird aesthetic that has been described as a Zelda clone. Saw it for $6, and it's only like 6 hours long, so I figure I lose very little by playing it on Switch.

    I'm confused about what PS5 can do. No 1440p? But it CAN do 2160p/30, yeah? 1080p/60? Wasn't there something about 1800p for some games? All I know for sure is that PS5 native games look incredible on a 4K TV, better than anything I've ever played before. PS5+4 cross-platform releases like AC...
