New addition to the pile. I thought the System Shock 1 remaster was basically imminent, now it's got a "TBA" release date on consoles. So I didn't need to get this, possibly for a while. Welp.

Imagine if EQ1, which I think has more players, got more than the fraction of funding that EQ2 gets. Without EQ2, all that money and dev man hours dedicated to EQ1... it'd probably still be competitive in the MMO space. Luclin/PoP level expansions would have continued to be the norm (and GoD/OoW...

Bro, April Fools is on the 1st, not the 9th.

Jeeesus. Yeah, FFX-2's final uberboss is the stupidest fight in the entire FF series. It isn't hard in a traditional sense, it's "fuck you if you don't have 99 Megalixirs" ridiculous. And it isn't even an interesting foe, it's an old man who gets to attack like 4 times for every one time your...

I mean, Cody looks like a full-on loser now and his moment was on Sunday. Even if he wins from here on out and gets the title this summer, they blew a great opportunity this week. Felt like I was back in 1999 watching WCW make mistakes with two straight main events. Him getting destroyed for an...

Wow that was dogshit

There seem to be several classes in FFX-2 that can totally murder the game. Problem is, the super-bosses might as well be on a different plane of existence in power, and all those OP game-breaking classes suddenly don't do it anymore. If anyone has any insight on how the hell to beat Trema in...

Really superb episode this week. Especially the monologue he gives at the end about how "conspiracy theorizing" has become something to be ridiculed in popular culture, even when you're talking about things that turn out to be true soon afterwards, which helps the government try to maintain its...

I wonder if the original root origin of Bahamut was a spinoff from that word. Muhammad->Mahomet->Bahamut->Baphomet. @MusicForFish Speaking of connections I'm starting to wonder if the Skinwalker Ranch situation has some connection to Dyatlov Pass. Unexplained radiation in both places.

I've had a day one PS5 since...day one, and never had any issues with it whatsoever, so it's believable that they overengineered the first round. That said, today happened to be the day I finally did have an issue. After playing Baldur for like 3 hours, I switched games, and suddenly there was...

I doubt I'll ever get to those since I have probably 150 games on the list already (and will probably only get to like a third of those). And no 3DS anymore. If they got an HD collection on Switch or something along those lines, though, I'd at least play the first one for sure. I'm hoping for...

On vacation and bouncing between 3 things - Baldur's Gate 2, Fallout 1, and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Rondo is hard as HELL but I think I've cleared about 60% of it. Fallout 1 I haven't progressed too much in, trying to chip away at it in small doses but it's so antiquated. Baldur 2 is taking...

Having seen some of the best SKs in action (situations of both hack and non-hack), I don't see anything about that story that isn't believable.

I took a peek at Icewind Dale since I needed a break from BG2. -Icewind Dale's main theme is REALLY good. The one that plays on the title/file/character creation screens. -Is Heart of Winter necessary to play? I enjoyed the BG1 expansion and I'll certainly enjoy the BG2 expansion which is of...

UFC-WWE. 21 billion combined market value. Currently AEW has a market value of about $400 million. Not for sale though. Point is they're significantly outgunned against this new media juggernaut, more than before.

The time of the sahagin is finally upon us! My God!

Whoa, turning that off instantly replaced it with a motion-picture of a windy lake. Pretty awesome. I wish I could set that kind of motion image as a desktop background.

Wonder if this is gonna be the most paused part of Wrestlemania. Jeepers

"How will this woman's subliminal mustache help us sell more Prime subscriptions?" "...Sell more Prime subscriptions?" So glad I canceled Prime and got 12 months of refunds.

Both Brock and Shane look to me like they're headed to a heart attack sooner than later with the colors they turn after mild strenuousness. Hope Shane is okay, looked like either a quad tear or an ACL tear on the leapfrog. On a lighter note, Cena vs Theory is literally "you vs the guy she...

So far FO1 has definitely aged the worst out of the few I've played. BG1 has those pre-rendered type visuals like FF7 and other games of the era that even in higher res remasters just really doesn't age well visually compared to HD-sharpened polygons. I probably met him during one of the...

Isn't there also a Bravely Default II? So Second is the 2nd game and II is the third game? I never got into those 3, the weird naming is part of why. Also at least one is stuck in 3DS purgatory.

A lot of that stuff really doesn't make any sense. My local library system decided to not carry any copies of Hogwarts Legacy at any of their branches. I'm at one the other day and see that they still have the entire Harry Potter book series and movie series, and multiple copies of both, just...

Each claim is "two and a half BPs" worth of currency so I can't imagine you'd get a huge amount per claim. I dunno though.

This is actually the #1 thing that rustles my jimmies. Any time I open up any kind of browser or click on the lower left temperature corner of a screen or whatever the case may be, I get assaulted with these social media dashboard style pages full of "today's headlines" and it's like 80%...

Niiiice. I used to collect both Dungeon magazine and Dragon magazine, think I preferred Dragon. Always thought Asmodeus was like the "final boss" of AD&D but now I guess Demogorgon is. Asmodeus is more like a deity/manipulator who lurks in Nessus, while Demogorgon will actually show up and...

Didn't this guy go to Epstein Island? Who knows, not like they actually investigated anything. I'm gonna operate under the assumption that all those motherfuckers be guilty.

Culmination of Zayn and KO's year long ROH feud where KO endlessly tormented Zayn who just wanted to be his bro. 30:40 onward is probably the best match ending I've ever seen. "This guy finally wants to be my friend again. Wait, just remembered how he tormented me for a year, fuck him"

These "candy sushi" things are awesome. Anyone know what that round gold thing is? It's crunchy and pretty good. I'd buy a pack of them if I knew what it was. Also wondering about the strawberry strip around the marshmallow.

I get Purina dry food for my cat because sometimes he won't eat anything else. He's been eating it off and on for 14 years and is the picture of health despite already being beyond the average life expectancy IIRC. Didn't know there were any Purina issues. I mean I don't trust cat food in general.

Drizzt in any of these CRPGs? I'd think maybe Icewind Dale? Only time I've ever gotten to play as him was in that very subpar D&D game we got recently. Dark Alliance or something.

Shouldn't be that much. I paid like $20 for the BG1+2 EE set two years ago brand new. Think I saw it on PSN for like $12 recently and if you want a physical copy I'm sure it's on Ebay for less than 50.

Does this guy show up in any of these games? This is the "Out of the Abyss" module. Would be rad to fight him in a game (or go into the Abyss at all). I think someone said Pathfinder 2 has some Abyss?

PS4 version with a 65" 4K OLED. The fonts and everything on the default settings are just right. Here's another shot, Vishimtar down.

Baldur's Gate 2 update! Just reached Chapter 5 so I'm closing in on the end. The whole asylum part of the game was a total PITA. Not sure why exactly, it just was. I pushed through though. Boo's fur is erect with anticipation. I really like the dialogue in these games. Found an infinite EXP...

I don't want Nintendo to go bankrupt cause I grew up with them, but I sure do want to see their games at least be available on more systems. Don't think it'd even be the death knell for Nintendo's hardware. If a game like TOTK has a PS5 version, that's just more revenue for Nintendo, right? And...

I heard it's good. Kinda surprised. I'll make time for it somewhere this month, hopefully it stays in theaters long enough.

Any Fallout 1 mod suggestions? Wouldn't mind improving that experience a bit. Also a bit concerned about the game not working anymore so I might leave it alone. Seems very tenuous already that I got these super-old games (FO, TOEE) working.

I agree, FFX-2 is criminally underrated. Only two strikes I had against it were 1. The Dark Knight class breaks probably the first 95% of the game. I've got a file about halfway through the PS4 version where I lost interest because my characters were all DKs and could all one-shot every random...
