    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I still haven't beaten Cuphead. Every few months I might fire it up for a few minutes and then nope out. I think I have something like 4-5 fights left in the game. My best shot at actually beating the game was probably back when I actually played the rest and was super-familiar with the nuances...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I definitely miss the launch multiplayer. I can't believe how bad some of these players are, the rare times I do get paired with anybody. Have seen people run right into chariots and other room traps, run into Commander Niall's room while the other person and I are still engaged fighting mobs...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is weird. In the PS4 playthrough I'm finding that there's basically NO multiplayer going on. When I use the summon-displaying item, nothing ever shows up. When I use the items to get summoned into someone else's game, either I don't get summoned at all, or it takes like 15 minutes and then...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    DoDH is Luclin, huh? I thought it was OoW. Sounds like it makes the most sense to get GoD AAs / superimportant SoL/PoP AAs at 55. So like Combat Agility 3, Natural Durability 3, GoD AAs. Then just get all of SoL granted by the 60 unlock a week later, then do PoP+ after that (since PoP AAs are...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Anyone playing this Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes game? I liked the first FE Warriors a lot so I bought the new one today, only to get home and not be able to find my Switch ANYWHERE. I might have left it at my other place, unsure. Anyway, curious if anyone's playing this new one and how...

    Star Ocean: The Divine Force

    Yeah, I agree, Star Ocean has had the longevity that Phantasy Star should have had. I've never played any Star Oceans, but 1 and 2 were always on my radar as a kid and still are. Seems like it's been hit-or-miss ever since. This new one looks visually high-res at least. Never played any Tales...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I mean "still a thing" as in "why are they still planned to be in these movies, and why hasn't there been a direct backlash against them from their employers like what usually happens with actors who do horrendous things?" The usual disavowing and so forth. Not seeing much of any of that from...

    I have a pre-nerf magic 8-ball. But yeah, have what I said on pretty good authority. Though now that Santana is injured, things with him might be up in the air entirely and he could get the singles run he wanted when he gets back, as they've pretty much been force broken up as a team by this...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Why is Ezra Miller even still a thing? Why is Amber Heard still a thing? Is it the cultural double-standard at work? Women and gay trans-ish guys can get away with anything and must be defended at all costs? Everything you just wrote sounds like The Dream for wealthy elites in the post-police...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    This AGDQ events seem to attract all kinds of autists and mental cases. Not necessarily to the actual gaming seat, but definitely the couches and audiences. No wonder they turned into a trans-fest the last couple of times. It's an opportunity for your average Tiktok lunatic to actually be...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Looks like the exp bonus is going to last until the 8th, if I'm not mistaken, and the level 55 raise on Vaniki is the 6th. So it should be a snap to get 55 and some AAs for people who plow through on Weds/Thurs. Then again, aside from tanks needing CA/CS/HP, and general bleeding edge players...

    Damn, I didn't even know they went after people for ECTunnel krono purchases. How would they even find out? Sting operations with an undercover GM posing as a seller?

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Wonder Man, eh? Who will be his diverse female sidekick who is smarter and funnier and fights better than he does? To me Phase 4 is just sort of a "random shit" cooldown phase after Thanos. I assume Phase 5 (and 6?) are going to have a lot more direction once the villain takes shape. The...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    It isn't like they'd make an origin movie about her anyway. It's much easier to just introduce and push these Diverse Female Characters while piggybacking off of (and sometimes subverting) a successful, established male character in his own movie. They have the formula down to a science.

    Return to Moria

    Fourth Age? The trilogy is at the end of the Third Age right? If so, cool that they're exploring some untapped parts of the timeline, rather than going over the same material a zillion other games already did. Someday I'd like to see a game covering the Second Age (or whichever one Morgoth was).

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Surprisingly, gargoyles weren't too bad on this latest run. I've felt "under leveled" for every fight unlike the first time when it was the other way around. Leaned a LOT on Blood Blade (and now RoB) to get bosses down. I never level grinded this time around. I think I might need to do some...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, I also have all other games ruined for me now. Or did, at least, it's subsiding a bit and my interest in other games is slowly returning. My PS4 run (for a second plat) has gone really well. Went shield-less (except Rykard) with no spells and it has been much more difficult. Powerstancing...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    America Chavez kinda sucked. She had this "deer in headlights" look for the entire movie, no charisma, and just came out of nowhere with no introduction. People in the theater thought she was Ms Marvel. Factor in her stealing a lot of Strange's thunder in his own movie, and her overall presence...

    Backlog Un-Challenge

    Finished my last playthrough of Dark Souls 1, now finishing up the second plat of Elden Ring. 20 hours in and almost 50%, at Crumbling Farum. After this I need to figure out what I want to knock off next. Either Returnal, Bloodstained, or (finally) RE1+2 remakes. Leaning Returnal, but I'd say...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    They could have had the same boss spawn over and over again too. Like say one boss respawns a bunch of times, it effectively has more than 32k HP. They had this code at the time before the HP cap raise (tainted/corrupted HG). So in this alternate universe it's possible. So fo something like...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I've wondered a few times what EQ would be like if they had never been able to raise boss HP above 32k. If they were planning for the future they could have started low, like maybe Naggy has 5k instead, and go up from there. If they were just going from our timeline only without the raise, I'm...

    Dark Souls

    After a few more fails on Four Kings, I went back and did all the stuff I skipped in the game (I skipped a LOT of NG++ when going for the plat). This got me a ton of levels. Put it all into Faith and the Zweihander is doing a lot more damage, was able to get Four Kings down to about 25% a...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I took one semester of code in High School (this was in like 1999, I wanted to learn how to make games like FF7 and EQ). Not gonna lie, I frequently wish I would have taken that career path. Coding is like a super long math problem that needs to be solved and re-solved and it would have been a...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah I don't care about bragging rights (to the air because nobody cares what difficulty I'm playing on except me), I'm too old for that shit. If a game only has one hard difficulty, like a From game, I play it as intended and I usually have a lot more fun than if it were easy. However with...

    The asexual misanthrope thread - where Mist has something to add

    Cool, I didn't even know this was a thing. Not sure if I want to mess around with my hormones, but I'll certainly get my T checked since I've got such a vastly-diminished physical drive the last few years. Could also be a general un-treated depression type deal that I don't even know I have...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Because before, the global file of the game was basically full. As I understood it, this is why changes to one server had to be across all servers. I remember there being several changes TLPers wanted that "couldn't be done" because doing so would have to also place the same changes across all...

    Is there a specialized doctor for this kind of thing or does a general practitioner actually do it? Is it an ass injection like the 'roids?

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    People doing Hero's Journey at appropriate level (rather than the current paradigm of a few completionists doing it at like level 110+) would be really interesting. It's basically a "story mode" of EQ that has been 99.5% ignored.

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I'd like to check out the Halas area since snow areas are my favorite type of game level theme. How feasible it is to get there on an Iksar SK who started in Neriak? Can I run there in my travels without getting nuked by KOS racists? Would I be better off just starting a new character with Halas...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I got to a decent level in this recently (can't remember what level) and was surprised at how fast the levels FLEW. However I also found myself pretty bored compared to normal EQ. Without the nostalgia component (having never really gotten into this when it was current) I also don't know how...

    Everquest Nerd Rage Logs

    This is basically what happened with me in LGuk a couple weeks ago. Guy shows up in my camp, loses a DPS race on Frenzy, does a bunch of name calling in tells because he "was there first" which doesn't make any sense because I'd been there for hours. Frenzy spawns again, I beat him in another...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    So, the reason we never got a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD is because they were saving them for individual releases. Smart from a financial standpoint. Chances are these remakes will be a lot more visually upgraded compared to a general HD trilogy port, since they're one per disc instead of all 3...
