Working on Fallout, in Necropolis now. Looks like this is a pretty short game. There are 3 main quests in the game and each one presumably only takes a few hours if you know where to go. You do the Water Chip quest first, then the other two in any order, then done. So I'mma try to knock this off...

Can you extrapolate Mischief out over all the expansions since PoP? I'm curious as to what the population ebb looks like over time and if my preconceived notions are correct.

I think you're kidding, but I will say the Sea is actually a good place to grind without the PoP being available. Lit2 one-shots Sahagin and Kyzoku (pirates) and they attack in big posses. Pirates give a lot of gold too. So run around the sea with at least one Lit 2 caster and hit the inn in...

A couple more FF1 notes: -The Pixel Remaster removes the Peninsula of Power from FF1. Probably not even on purpose, 'cause the Peninsula was a bug that had to do with how the NES had encounter sets in blocks on the overworld. There's a Peninsula in FF2 as well (just south of the starting town)...

This real Atabishi or an imposter? I'm curious how AEs are gonna work in general. I assume they're still gonna hit everyone in the area regardless of whether they're on the list for the mob's engagement or not. Sleeper is gonna like, gank one person at a time slowly I guess. What always got...

Yeah I guess Cornette had a point after all. Pretty tired of the guy (mostly his sycophantic followers who bully everyone in relentlessly) but he has things he's right about and this was one of them. What matches do people want to see at All In? Jamie Hayter vs Saraya is a given barring...

What horrific bullshit does Elden Ring have? I forgot about how Baldur's Gate was a bunch of discs. I remember watching other people play BG1 in...1997? Maybe 99. Then in 2000 or so my mom bought BG1, BG2, and Icewind Dale. I remember a bunch of discs and thinking it must be the best game ever...

These are listed on the store now, can't be bought yet though. Is this silhouette Kefka or Terra? Cause I had heated arguments in the past with people over it. I always thought it was Kefka, most thought it was Terra. Both are seen in magitek armor early in the game.

I don't know about Jaheira, I booted her pretty early in BG2 for someone else. Didn't like her new portrait at all (her BG1 portrait is quite hot). The Versus Books guide not mentioning anything about being able to revive Aerie was pretty weird. The rest of the time, that guide was awesome...

Elementary school kids skew towards WWE pretty universally. AEW's demographics are the 16-40 male crowd primarily, though they're starting to finally make progress with the female demographics as well. WWE vs AEW on demographics is very similar to WCW vs WWF back in the day. WCW had a lot of...

Who summarized it like that? Yeah that's a real BS way to interpret the story that takes responsibility off of the chix in the movie. Two girls climb the tower to post it on instagram because they're total idiots. Well, one of them is a total idiot, the other doesn't know how to say no and gets...

For the average person on here who goes hard and pushes through, it wasn't excessively difficult or prohibiting, no. For the average non-hardcore person just looking for something enjoyable to play in their 4 hours of time off every week, it's a different story. Thus I can't recommend it to...

Aerie was my "love interest" for most of BG2 and hooked up with the hero towards the end. (Right after I turned down sex with the dark elf chick, maybe jealousy is what really did it for Aerie) Then she got kidnapped / vamped and I thought she was actually gone forever. I was kinda pissed after...

Mulling over Wembley Stadium. First off, just a couple weeks ago AEW's event planners were looking at the feasibility of switching from the NOW Arena to the United Center for All Out (which they should have done already, 2021 at least would have sold it out easily). Then suddenly this Wembley...

Looks like it was hovering stationary and the plane flew past it. Shouldn't the light reflections on the "dome" have moved around more if it was a real object though? Them staying stationary tells me it might be a trick.

Baldur's Gate 2 is beaten. Feels good to cross off another one.

I got the impression all of them took place in the span of like a month or so, basically one after another rapid-fire. Even him losing his wife happened like a week before the first movie, IIRC. If I'm right, then JW4 is like a few weeks removed from him losing his wife.

After a couple weeks of tooling around in the Underdark (and barely playing), I'm finally out of Chapter 5. I have mixed feelings on it. On one hand that was the most annoying chapter in any of the BG games. Being a drow errand boy got so tedious, and I was lost half the time since every time I...

This part was hilarious. I had to basically tell her I was a eunuch to get her to back off. Dark Elf women don't mess around. Even being "taken" didn't remotely dissuade her. Was worth it to keep Aerie from having a nervous breakdown listening to hot dark elf banging in the next room.

I don't see how having multiple races with different stats/acumen causes "harm" to anybody. And I'm 100% sure the people saying it causes "harm" are all white people speaking for other groups. And I've also been cognizant for a while that referring to words and concepts as "harmful"...

Wick not murdering that bald Karen adjudicator from JW3 was a big missed opportunity in 4.

I think the only thing left for a John Wick 5 was him going after the High Table itself and wiping out all 12 of them (11 now? Was that guy in the desert a member?) I expected that to be the situation for JW5 after he dealt with Donnie Yen and the Marquis in JW4. But now he doesn't need to go...

I liked how completely over the top the series got. It reminds me of rhe Highlander universe, except with real-world explanations for why things are the way they are (as opposed to Highlander's "cause it's magic" explanations). Things like Holy Ground and being challenged to duels makes a lot...

They hate Pratt because he's a white Christian man who isn't shy about talking about how much he loves God and his church and stuff. Also he didn't participate in any of the Marvel star anti-Trump circle-jerks, so people assume he must be a republican to boot. I have no idea if he is or not, but...

There isn't one, except that it's there and it's the rarest item in the series. I never got Excalibur II in FF9 either. Some things just ain't worth it on a first run. I'll definitely play FF1-4 once they're out. 5 and 6 are a lot bigger so those are prolly gonna be at some point later on.

In Final Fantasy II: Leila, Leon and Scott are left-handed. In Final Fantasy IV: Kain and Palom are left-handed. Yeah, there are no shortcuts in the 16 bit version. You farm a 1/4300 battle item and like it. That's how it'll be in the PR as well most likely.

Man, in 11 days my poor CRPG Crusade is gonna have to go on pause for a couple months. Hopefully I can get Baldur 2 and FO1 done by then cause I'd hate to leave them hanging midway through. A few bits of advice for this series: FF1: -If you're gonna do any grinding in this game, do it early...

Yeah, unarmed + shield is the way to go. Just be sure you properly switch it around for the left-handed characters. I steamrolled FF2 on the PS1 (Origins) version a while back by doing this. I'm gonna assume the DS version has much higher drop rates for Pink Tails if you were able to get 5 of...

For anyone wondering about trophies: https://www.truetrophies.com/n22553/final-fantasy-pixel-remaster-trophies PS4 version is most likely going to be the same or very similar trophy sets to these lists. Interesting and logical sets here, though I'm a bit concerned about the "Get 100% of the...

This has a lot of potential for longevity, and if they were gonna do an "experimental mechanics" server I'd much rather see it be something like this. Perhaps add an "expansion flag dude" to Commonlands tunnel who you have to talk to after beating any particular final boss in order to chronicle...

Her - Really good Joaquin Phoenix movie where he plays a guy in love with an AI chat program (voiced by Scarlett Johannson). Lot of heart-felt moments in it and whatnot. The first hour actually made me kind of sleepy, then it picks up a bit in the second hour. Thought it might turn into a horror...

Good point about height, in pictures you always want to be taller than the people around you and I guess the objects too. I don't think height matters as much as the internet thinks it does (I've known some very successful short and medium guys) but when you're looking at initial attraction...

They're probably not holding back any great ideas, yeah. Thing is though, what players want is so readily obvious that it defies belief that they aren't going that route, unless they're saving things for an occasion and want it to be a big deal at that point, doing experimentation in the...

I mean me getting beat up by a Navy chick isn't as impressive as you getting beaten off by African tribesmen, so I defer to you.

Oh yeah, good point. The FF4 that I posted such a low time on was the SNES version. This one is gonna be the SFC version and significantly tougher. 7 hours, 10 hours... I don't remember exactly what my time was. Just that I reached the final boss with a single-digit time and I wasn't even...

Maybe someone should do a Prydain Chronicles thread in the Book House, IDK. Lot of stuff from that series to get into. This jogged my memory about the beginning of The High King and now I remember it a bit more. First book Taran is a kid, second he's a kid on an adventure with a sense of...

Yeah, I exagerrated. FF1 PR and FF4 SNES took me like 12 and 8 hours respectively on a replay a few years ago, both were waaay shorter than I remembered. I didn't play any of the others at the time. If sub-10 on FF4 is so unbelievable, maybe I'll set a day aside and do it again.

Yeah, these are pretty close to the originals. They don't have the optional dungeons and super bosses that got added in later (DS and PSP) versions, which is sometimes a bad thing and sometimes doesn't matter. They look like the originals, just sharpened up and wide-screen. Worth getting all of...

I mean, I beat FF4 in like one workday last time I played it. The SNES version is really easy outside of the final boss. I'd go take a picture of my final time, but I went and farmed Pink Puffs for about 16 more hours (and never got their drop)

I bet "I gave up on the first level" represents like 30-45% of the Returnal playerbase. It's a shame that the game doesn't do a better job letting people actually get into it. I enjoyed it (on the like, 5th attempt over the years when I finally had a winning strategy) but I can't really...
