    Time Travel: What would you do?

    I'd like to see a show or movie about this hypothetical. I imagine the Roman Empire would have lasted WELL into their future if you were to essentially move the Italian Renaissance back in time 1500 years. On the other hand, knowing the full scope of the world might make them hyperextend and...

    The Body Shop: Repairs for the Self

    I get those annoying "tongue sores" fairly regularly, usually on the sides of the tongue (so not taste buds). They're white and pinch a bit and usually go away after a few days. I figure they're either from biting my tongue in my sleep, or they're some form of herp or HPV or whatever that I...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Regardless of the veracity of these claims, it makes a lot of sense to set up a radar network that can track things passing in and out of space and have EMP weapons set up to try and knock down a UAP when one does occur in the vicinity of a base. I assume these things are getting done now if...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Oh yeah, where the hell ARE all the ladies in this game? It's a full-on sausage fest. Seen a few on the Japan side but hardly any compared to the multitude of dudes running around. Mongol side is 100% dudes so far in the main game. It IS an invading army but I'm still surprised not to see any...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I'm more of the mind that if everyone had a choice and found that the self-driving tech worked well enough to ease their minds, it'd naturally get enough widespread adoption for the system to really work and alleviate traffic issues. Our "leadership" doesn't need to butt in at all, nor should...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    I've seen a few foxes and wasn't sure how to interact with them. No prompt to pet them appeared or anything, they'd just run out and scamper off. Being stuck on Ikishima Island until it's done is pretty iffy, wonder why they did it that way. So that's what the yellow bird is all about, that's...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    For someone with a puppy as an avatar, you sure come off like a fuckin' douchebag. I also played a rogue back in the actual classic and it really was horrendous. People told me to stick with it because rogues were good on raids (this was circa Velious because it took me like 18 months to reach...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    FF5 FULLY DONE. That level grind took an ungodly time but I just got it done. Go to the desert in the final dungeon and just hold the down button a lot to auto trigger fights while you watch something else. Looks like they got to 9999 HP after all but not 999 MP, that's annoying. Not sure why...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Finally playing this after several attempts over the years. Having a tough time getting into any particular game lately since I finished the FF Pixel Remasters. It was either this or the next CRPG (prolly Neverwinter Nights) and a friend of mine who lives very nearby is playing this so I figured...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I think that's the key: Nothing else like EQ gets made anymore. It fills a certain retro niche that just isn't being filled otherwise. I guess Pantheon was supposed to target that retro niche but yeah. Every time I play a turn of the century CRPG or open world game I hope to get that same sense...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Far as open world stuff goes, I'm just glad OW games are so popular now and that the last two Zeldas brought them to people who weren't into them before. OoT was open-worldy to an extent but it also followed a path through the game. BOTW and TOTK are true OW, and exposing new people to the...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    I think the Library of Alexandria is a solid answer. Just going back and finding out who was doing what and when (i.e. ancient civilizations, looking for Atlantis, etc) would be an amazing way to spend the rest of one's life. Gathering info that was lost everywhere you could. If the rules of...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Out of the serious hardcore players I'd say maybe 99% for SEQ but nowhere near that for MQ2. I have nothing to base this on statistically and don't know what percentage I'd say it actually is, but IMO it's nowhere near that. In my experience it's largely the boxers that are using both while...

    Driverless Cars in 2016

    Reviving this old thread because I got into a tangent about this in the Rustled thread. So would I. Having them mixed might be a bad thing. It's a situation where in order to have everything functioning at peak efficiency, like 95% of the cars would need to be under AI control with the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    There's a good possibility that those cars could alleviate most city congestion. Everyone would need to be using them though, or almost everyone. Cause then the cars can all coordinate and go through lights efficiently, etc. If the lights are also hooked into the system, even better. No more...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I'm not into building things with legos either. My infamous failure to platinum Fallout 4 was due to several building trophies that were horrendous to try and get working. Just wasn't into building things. When I was a kid I would have liked that stuff...maybe...if the UI were more intuitive...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Thanks, I just submitted one on there. Sending that out to a bunch of her friends so we can pummel them with complaints until they get off their ass and do something. I imagine they're pretty busy, since GFM is so ripe for exploitation by freeloading POSes submitting fraudulent fundraisers.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Actually this is probably my #1 daily source of being rustled. I've never seen so many horrible drivers as I do nowadays. A lot of people who creep along like they're in a school zone and randomly brake. Or start to go at a yield sign, then stop again. So I start to follow them, look to the side...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yeah, EQ still has really solid gameplay. @Sylas The problem is that the worst part is the very beginning. Probably level 1-8 or so. You move slow, miss a lot, have no gear, and most of the noob yards are pretty bland. Class choice is also a big factor, some classes at those levels are even...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This is an ongoing issue, the guy still has a Gofundme page up for this girl and is still trying to collect money for her nonexistent funeral. Not only did he not give her a funeral, he's also being charged with negligence for her death in criminal court as we speak. So he's profiting off of a...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Too bad Vainglorious Shout got so nerfed. I remember playing as a bard box and kiting like 50 mobs with it. Had to play chicken with the oncoming death-blob (which meant being aware of about how many there were so you didn't overpull and cause lag). Soon as the train got close enough, wham, hit...

    Fast X (2023)

    This is hilarious. They don't want to go beyond Fast X for marketing reasons (11 and 12 just don't have the marketing oomph) so they're just gonna make any successive movies additional parts of Fast X. This is like branding for a smartphone or something.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I think the one in the middle is like, the previous version for phones. Looks like a PSP sprite, except FF6 never got a PSP version that I know of. The one on the right is the Pixel Remaster version, I think. And yeah the PRs are supposed to be pixely. They're as close to the originals as they...

    Sports Entertainment

    Collision ticket sales are pretty bad so far. First episode (Chicago) isn't on sale yet or even announced 'cause of fuckin' CM Punk. The next few episodes however are on sale and around 500 tickets sold is the norm so far. WAY below Dynamite's average, for something that is supposed to be an...

    Collecting Movie Again

    Is there a porn section? And good call, I also got a number of blu-rays specifically because of censorship. During the Dr Seuss Debacle I picked up a few copies of all the banned books, along with a few potentially controversial movies like Pulp Fiction, Blazing Saddles (contains evil words!)...

    Terminator (2019)

    I don't think time travel was the impetus for them getting skin. Time travel was a last-minute Hail Mary by Skynet. For years before that they were trying to infiltrate human bases/warrens/tunnels. At first they were easy to spot, then they got really hard to spot, to the point that dogs became...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Jesus Christ. Sounds kind of like part of Mother 3 (or Earthbound 2 if you want). Probably the best game on the Game Boy Advance entirely and one of the best games I've ever played. However a big part of the game is the villains doing stuff like that to "improve" all of the life-forms in the...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Up! is the only movie in the last ten years or so that made me bawl my eyes out. Doesn't help that I watched it with my girlfriend who is no longer with us, so now it'd hit home way more than it did then even. I don't think I could do it now.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Done maxing out FF6 characters with level 99, 9999/999 HP/MP (except the two WoR characters), Paladin's Shield, and all spells. That didn't take too long. 34 hours on the clock altogether, finished the plat at like 27 hours. Meanwhile in FF5 I'm at 35 hours (finished the plat at 29 hours) and...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Who would win in a one-on-one fight, Superman or Thanos? I feel like Superman would. But also Darkseid is the Thanos of DC, he's stronger than Superman, and most people seem to regard him as roughly equal to Thanos I think. So who knows.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    How bad is the animal stuff? I'm pretty much ready to call it a day on Marvel in general after the implosion of Majors and the last few movies being kinda shit. Saw all of them up to this point, even Eternals, but I'm way beyond done. I love GOTG though so I was gonna see this before I call...

    Path of Exile

    Got this for free on PS5. I'll give it a try, but I get the feeling it's one of those games that takes a pretty substantial time investment to get anything out of? Definitely seems to have a pretty hardcore fanbase though.

    Playstation 5

    Funny how the "we just want everyone to be excellent to each other" crowd loves calling other people "neckbeards" and "incels" all the time. Getting people to be excellent to each other sounds like a worthy objective and I think my generation was already really good at it in the late 2000's and...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Anyone played the FF7 NES de-make? Uses the FF3 engine. I've heard good things about it. Apparently there are two of them: One is a fairly low-quality Chinese bootleg game, the other is the modded FF3 made by a team that is actually high quality. Might be worth a look for FF7 fanatics or NES...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I'm saying the most credible reason for "visitors" to show up in the first place is that we started setting off extremely bright nuclear explosions on an almost daily basis starting in the late 40's which happens to be when the sightings ramped way up. Nuclear explosions emit a distinctive...

    Terminator (2019)

    Trying to remember the third one. I don't remember there being any infiltrators in the Genisys intro, just lots of battlefield endos and the Matt Smith "T-5000" Skynet Avatar. Unless Aaron Williams was the terminator that menaced Young Kyle in the sewer? I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yep. Mage, Enchanter, and Druid are all solid mains to farm shit with early-on before transferring things to your actual main later. Especially if you want to main a Beastlord or Zerker, since they straight-up aren't available. But in general it's advantageous to plow your farming with the...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Is this game really a lot closer to ER than BOTW was? I saw ER as a better BOTW personally. Similar games (to an extent) but ER was like the Super Saiyan version. If this game moves things closer to ER that can only be a good thing for me. At the very least I assume they learned a lot from ER...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I decided to go ahead and level my FF5 and FF6 characters to max since I did that with the other four and since I'm not really playing anything else post-PRs. FF5 takes WAY longer than the rest of them. Like way way. I did the maths and I think it's about 12 hours of grinding to get from level...
