    Jebus. With all these mods, maybe I should just play KOTOR1 on the PC rather than Switch. Like I said though, Switch = bigger screen at home, and portability. Does that offset mods that I may or may not use? I don't know, but I also don't need to worry about this for a while. I never did a...

    I can't say because I don't remember. Most of these were ages ago. There was one Tinder date I went on not too long ago so I remember it fairly well, with this oddball girl who was like 5 years older than her pictures (...they all are) and I don't think I made any second date plans on that one...

    I have gotten into a fight before over this very situation. Flirted with a girl named Angie at a middle school party, she flirted back a lot harder. Then some guy named Cameron appeared out of nowhere telling me to stop trying to get with "his girl" and challenging me to go outside cause he was...

    CRPG Crusade #4 - The Ultima and Wizardry serieses. Coming in 2028! But seriously, I'd love to, but it's pretty unlikely I'll ever get to play those. Always really liked Ultima in particular as a kid. Ultima IV got a great and highly-underrated NES port (that I'd put next to some of the Dragon...

    Got a question for a dating thread. Maybe not a question so much as me wondering if this is normal. I've been on a ton of first dates. Like a friend joked that "50 First Dates" was a movie about me one time. What I mean is that I've gone on a ton of dates with dating app matches, friends of...

    Like I said, the best advice comes from women, and I don't see none of those in this thread. There are still a few good things to pick up here though. Huh, that...makes total sense. It's also the truth. I couldn't care less about being single the past couple years. Contrary to what Ossoi...

    Dating

    I wonder how they'd view me. Not a widower or divorcee, not really a lifetime bachelor either. Had a bunch of short relationships, then one really long one (with several more short ones cris-crossing with it due to my open-minded GF), then that ended, then COVID, then backlogs, TLPs, and CRPG...

    Latinas are cool like that. They make everything easier for some reason. You can just come right out and tell them that they're hot and you want to take them out and it's fine. No jumping through hoops or tiptoeing around like with suburban white chicks who get offended that a guy is looking at...

    Just saying what has worked for me, and worked for me quite a bit. Women may not know what they want out of life, but what they do know is what's attractive and what looks good and what makes a good first impression. Things like what to wear and where to go. And yeah, I highly advise having a...

    That's cool, I have no Rogue plans so I'll do that in NWN. Like how I have no Cleric plans so I'll do that in TOEE. Planning classes for all of these games in advance would be kind of silly, but it's alright if I do it for a couple of them. Likely to default to a tank or caster for most of the...

    Switch can be played on a TV in docked mode. I'd most certainly play it that way rather than handheld, which is more for on the go situations where a TV isn't a possibility. Also all I use at home are laptops, so the Switch actually IS the big screen in this situation. One of these years I'll...

    Hey, I was raised by a single mom. ...and yes, it fucks you up. I was WAY too nice to women growing up. Too nice in general actually. When you grow up deferring to a woman, that carries over into adulthood as weakness. Which isn't the worst thing in the world (some women like a puppy dog) until...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Be careful, when I called all of this way in advance I had a bunch of people jump down my throat for being a quitter or whatever and say that all these things are doable... while not going on Vaniki and trying to do them themselves, of course. I do think an ultra-dedicated top-tier guild that...

    Just pulled it up on the Switch, looks like they added KOTOR 2 since the last time I looked. $15 each for KOTOR 1 and 2, looks very sharp visually so I'm pretty sure it's wide-screen and HD. Given the convenience factor I think I'll go with this version for 1. KOTOR 2 is a different story...

    He also turned traitor and switched teams not too long after launch. Scandalous. Man, that whole thing was zany. I like most of the Amtrak crew (everyone I've played with) but Lord knows I got pissed-off at the leadership, namely the level 1 shenanigans. I kind of respect the hustle though, if...

    Good idea. And didn't KOTOR 1 get some kind of HD version on the Switch? Probably just go with those versions instead of digging up my old XBox with its terrible load times and fuzzy 480p (at best).

    People argue with this stuff and call it misogyny or whateverthefuck, but it's true. Not just true, but also extremely obvious when you're studying biology. Humans have existed in their "modern state" for what, 200,000 years? For 198,000 of that 200,000 years, the social hierarchy didn't exist...

    Got a hardcover Elminster in Hell. Looks like it's part of a book series, hopefully I'm not lost reading it by itself. I do a lot of reading when I'm not working on a particular game so I'm down with adding a D&D book to the list. Just bought this too. Couldn't find Crown, but it's just as...

    PS5. The Midgar DLC is there for sure. There's also a Tomb Raider DLC that I haven't looked at yet. Or the main game. All I've actually played is the Midgar DLC which is kind of funny. Pretty much. We can't fix the real world in any appreciable way and this game lets us feel like we're making...

    Playing it in small doses is relaxing. If one were to sit down and try to "beat the game" then yeah I think they'd start questioning themselves before too long. For me, sometimes I want to play something but don't want to have to think about it too much, cause I'm tired or whatever the case is...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    It's kind of crazy going to TLP after years and years on live. Live is so relaxed and quiet. If you run into another person in a zone they'll be like "hail adventurer, how goes the hunt?" and give you a bunch of buffs before heading out. Then you don't see anyone else for a little while except...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    EQ2 has been such a ghost town every time I ever popped on there. I really question why it has gotten expansion after expansion all these years. They split their resources like 60/40 between EQ2 and EQ1 and the EQ1 expansions really suffered for a long time. Eventually I think it shifted...

    Funny, the aformentioned girl I was talking about offered to pay for my vasectomy (so I could plow her even more often). She broke things off before I got it, and insurance was covering it anyway. There's gotta be something in the big book of red and green flags about women offering to pay some...

    What's your beef? I think I'll probably end up adding NWN2 to the list eventually, but let's see if I can even get through half of what I've got now. Fallout Tactics is also a very likely add since it's included with the Fallout 1 + 2 set I just got. Once SoD is done (which won't take long)...

    Not gonna read this whole thread (maybe some other time) so what's the TLDR? How'd this work out? Yeah, that's true. I went through a similar situation to this back in the early 2010's. Met a cute but slightly overweight 25 year old Puerto Rican woman, she asked me out which is nice, and we...

    Toronto is well within range to get the Chicago crowd that filled the United Center for last year's Forbidden Door, as well as being a nice centralized location. Good choice, but I wish they were going with the Skydome instead. Been 24 years since a non-Wrestlemania show was able to draw a large...

    Watched Clockwork Orange for the first time a couple weeks ago. Really good. In retrospect 10 out of 10.

    The D&D thread

    Got a D&D question. I asked in one of the other threads if there was any D&D game/module where you go to the Nine Hells or fight any of the big guys that the lore heavily builds up. Or are they perpetually out of reach and more used as deities / plot devices? I'd love to play a game where you...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I assume you also played ToB? If not, then do a replay including that. I'm sure you did though. On an EE replay you could throw SoD in there. It's inferior to the other parts of the story but it's still an interesting addition. Only other time I can think of where a game got an "inter-quel" 15...

    Doing SoD first, unless it stops being interesting, then I'll jump to BG2. SoD seems a bit short, especially since I turned the difficulty down to Story Mode for it and am one-shotting everything. Just there for the story. SoD is full of traps and ID-style dungeon crawling and it seems a little...

    Bunch of Baldur's Gate 1 images before I go on to the next one: Starting stats, basically made a Moor Paladin. I abused the Rest command all game, which meant getting harassed by guards. So basically RP'd a hobo. Some of the more hilarious dialogue choices. Didn't know this was a Bioware...

    What's that first one, Fighter/Warrior? I haven't played a healer in any of these games yet (then again I've only played one so far but I never had any healer classes in it) so a "solo Cleric" that can get really strong sounds like it might be a fun change of pace for TOEE. Neera isn't woke...

    Yeah I also got that. It's like the most relaxing game ever. Only downside is that it can kind of put you to sleep after a while, and the levels tend to get a bit tedious in the last 2-3 percent when you're trying to find the last few specks that are hidden under things and it takes forever. The...
