    I'm with you for now. How can it go up if people aren't allowed to buy, though? Utter horseshit. I'm holding, tomorrow will be interesting. I don't suppose anyone can step in and save the day in terms of one of these trading platforms opening GME to people so it can have a big resurgence.

    Put $500 (combined) on AMC and GME yesterday morning. Didn't expect much of a return but was hopeful. What's going on now seems like total horseshit though. Down about halfway on the investment and WANT to hold the line, but it seems like I'm not being given any choice in the matter.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Would Pathfinder be a good game to start with out of this group? As in, the first one I play all the way through? I'm looking for the most user-friendly one to start off. Maybe the easiest one. Granular difficulty settings usually accomodate that. Or would Pillars of Eternity be a good one to do...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    How can I avoid that when I play it? Just put Kingdom on autopilot? I think the only time I ever lost 60+ hours on a game was the infamous Velius fight in Final Fantasy Tactics. Like a lot of other players, I got boxed in on that fight and my party had no chance of defeating the boss (since...

    For real though, what it did was pique my interest and give me an understanding of the basic fundamentals. It also held my interest, which I doubt any actual finance class could have as a teenager. Course, now I'm studying up on whatever I can get.

    Good points. I think you're right about what the BTC ceiling is right now and that it'll exceed that, but not this year. I'm thinking I'll drop some funds on it as a long-term investment, leave that alone, and see what happens with it over time. Meanwhile, try doing some swing trading of BTC...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Welp, I got 'em all. Now I have ten CRPGs to play: Planescape Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, and Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Basically catching up on like all the CRPGs ever. Not sure...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I've seen a lot of people say that Planescape: Torment is their favorite game of all time. Probably a comparable number to things like Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid. I mean it has HYPE around it. I can't wait to check it out. Is Torment: Tides of Numeria a sequel to it? It doesn't seem...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Grabbed Planescape Torment + Icewind Dale, the Baldur's Gate duogy, Neverwinter Nights, and I think I'll get Pathfinder: Kingmaker soon. I've heard Divinity: Original Sin 2 recommended a lot, but what about the first one? Are they both worth a run? Looks like the second is pretty cheap on PS4...

    So uh...when's a good time to buy into Bitcoin? I feel like it's going to surge under Biden while everything else drops, due to being disconnected from the banking system that they can now ban people from. Unless they're going to go after it for that very reason. And maybe I'm wrong and it's...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    I've got World/Iceborne on PS4 and I really like this style of game, it's something I didn't realize I needed. I should have figured this out when my favorite parts of Final Fantasy 12 and 13 were the optional hunts. Dunno if I'll ever actually finish this monstrosity, but if I do, what other...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    After ignoring CRPGs for years, I got Torment: Tides and Pillars of Eternity on PS4 and like 'em so far. What else is worth getting from the genre? There's a Baldur's Gate duo-gy, and an Icewind Dale + Planescape Torment two-fer. Thinking about grabbing 'em both.

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Welp, I finished Cyberpunk and I'm almost done with Yakuza 7, Ys 7, and Fenyx Rising (been bouncing between them for the past month). Think I'll get back to this next. I left off midway through, with a few territories in England conquered. What I'm reading has me pretty worried though. Why did...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Had a chance to get this for a measily $23 so I did. Hopefully I enjoy it. Been wanting to play a good modern Star Wars game for years and the Lego Star Wars series just doesn't really tickle my pickle the way I want. Main concern here is that I don't know if I have 20+ hours to put aside for...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I didn't say it was worth $1500, I said I've got about that much worth of relic draws on the account. I assume FFRK accounts are worth a lot less, even moderately well-geared ones like mine. Regardless, if anyone wants to make an offer or see the wares PM me and I'll send screenshots. At this...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Not gonna lie, stuff like that can make mediocre games a lot more tolerable. There have been a few times where I was on a stronger painkiller for a week or two and spent that week or two destroying my backlog of games I couldn't be arsed to finish under normal circumstances. Even the dull ones...

    JRPGs

    I probably won't get to Ys 8 before Ys 9 because time isn't gonna permit it. So I'll be going 7-9-8. At least the story isn't super-important to follow in order. 8 sounds like it's got some issues. I'm really into the Souls style of attacks feeling deliberate/weighted. One of the reasons Hyrule...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    If anyone's interested in getting into this and wants to buy my account, shoot me a PM. Haven't played it in about a year now but it's pretty up to date for that point. Tons of level 99 characters and weapons in the 8 or 9 star range, including most of the chase weapons for the Final Fantasy...

    Best phone games?

    Anyone know how feasible it is to play games like Dragon Quest 5 or Final Fantasy Dimensions with a controller on a tablet? As much as I like them on phone with touchscreen controls, I feel like it'd be a much better experience to put them on a tablet with a controller plugged in. Specifically...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    That's a shame. I've had a couple of people now lose their shit at me and stop talking to me because of some innocuous viewpoint I had, like "letting men play in women's sports is doing a disservice to women" type stuff. I'd be willing to bet that most right-wingers have at least a couple of...

    JRPGs

    Anything I should look out for in Ys Seven as far as the last boss goes / anything else? I'm basically speedrunning the game. Gonna take more time with Ys 8 depending on how much time I've got until Feb 2nd.

    JRPGs

    I'm a ways into Ys Seven now and it's fun. More or less 2.5D like 6 was IIRC. Was kinda expecting it to be 3D like 8/9 but this works. On emulator it looks very much like a Wii game as far as resolution and clarity go. I had to try it on four different computers and each one had a different...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    This is something I would have been super into 5 years ago. Never platinumed any of the three, or even checked out any of the DLCs. ME1 and ME2 were two of my absolute favorite games from the PS3 gen (played them on the trilogy re-release). I mean they really got me thinking about space and the...

    My God, I hate that. What are they even looking at? If an S.O. of mine starts making a habit of doing that I usually try to put a kibosh on it fast.

    Music Keyboards

    I've got about 20-30 things to sell around here and haven't gotten around to listing any of them on Amazon. This thread has reminded me that I totally could have gotten a lot more overall if I'd gotten all of the selling done a month ago. As for the keyboard, my only worry with the first one...

    JRPGs

    Weird how Ys 5 never got a western release much less a remake. You'd think they would have tapped into it by now. I've never played Ys 4 either and have to figure out which version to go with whenever I get around to it. The TG16, Super Famicom, and Vita/PS4 versions are all pretty different...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Here's the thing. I like the idea of Sephiroth time-hopping to interfere with the heroes. However, just reviving Zack with no explanation is ridiculous and diminishes Crisis Core. The ending fights with the Whispers also felt like Kingdom Hearts bullshit with platitudes and nonsensical bullshit...

    Bloodborne

    So Bloodtinge is mainly for gun damage and Arcane is mainly for....? When I first played it and saw that stat, I thought the game had spells. It has some spell-like items but that can't be the only benefit. Oh yeah, and Tonitrus I presume gets Arcane benefit when enchanted. I remember loading...

    Bloodborne

    Martyr Logarius is one of the few bosses that I remember giving me serious grief the 3 or so times I played this game. At least he's skippable, not that anyone should. The other fight that gave me a lot of trouble was Rom the Vacuous Spider. There were a couple more tough fights in the chalice...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Just beat the game after 3 more hours of banging my head against it. One of the final missions, either Nocturne or Last Caress, kept glitching up where nothing would work and I'd have to reload an earlier save. Started that mission over four or five times. By the time I got to the very last...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    This game is a glitched mess. So many crashes, so many warping mobs, disembodied guns, etc. I was bearing with it because the setting really is astoundingly cool (I love Japantown, and the industrial park at night felt like the Midgar Upper Plate that I wish we'd gotten more of in FF7R). But...

    Late to this thread. If anyone is still needing advice on mobile games, is an RPG-thusiast, and wants to play some things that don't really exist on non-phone systems, I recommend: -Final Fantasy Dimensions: The first one, don't know about any spinoffs. This is a high-quality FF even though...

    I don't mind games with slow starts. I used to. Took me years to get into Dragon Quest VII, which has several hours of game/story before you even get to fight any battles. Now, though, I'm okay with that kind of thing. Looking forward to playing as the hawt blue-haired girl. Do you play as her...

    EQ a couple times a week. Other than that, hoo boy. I'm accumulating quite a backlog of things I want to check out at this point. I just finished a Platinum Crusade of sorts where I went back and platinumed God of War 1, 2, 3, Chains of Olympus HD, Ghost of Sparta HD, and Ascension. Then I went...

    Immortals Fenyx Rising

    Played about half of this when it came out, gonna swing around and do the rest this week. Like others have said it gets pretty repetitive and easy so I'm going to speed through the rest just to knock it off the list. It's a pretty fun game and on PS5 there aren't a ton of choices yet for new...

    Demon’s Souls Remake (PS5)

    It's funny how the easiest world (World 2) is the one with the hardest bosses. Sort of. DG is easy once you know the puzzle, and Armor Spider is only difficult for beginners. Flamelurker however gave me the most trouble of any boss even on the latest run. Edit: Also, World 4 and 5 are the...
