For a while I thought I might be a deluded old man yelling at clouds (I'm 37) when I thought everything was getting worse and worse qualitywise. Now I'm totally sure of it, it isn't in our heads. It's very noticeable across the board in pretty much everything consumerist. Impossible to reach a...

Managed to resolve that whole issue. UPS did deliver it and it was next door. I knew it. In any case I got the trade done and got an S22 Ultra, plus a $50 phone case that's totally see-through. $50, seriously? I never used a case on my S9 and it was pretty damn beaten up after a while from the...

Grabbed what might be the last one of these in existence at retail price. Apparently someone returned one like the day before I happened to check to see if any had been restocked anywhere on the 0.1% chance that it'd be the case. Unopened and I'm not even sure if I'm gonna open it myself. This...

I don't think Blood Dragon has co-op. It's just a DLC for Far Cry 3, really. However they did such a great job with it that it ended up getting its own game release digitally later.

Time for Story Time With Raj. Well, I took up T-Mobile on their "trade in S9+ and get lotsa money towards new one" deal. However this required trading in my old one in very good shape. My old one is pretty beat up. Good news is, it's insured, so I was able to request a replacement S9. I wanted...

Is S20 Ultra a better deal than S22 Ultra? All I really care about at this point is the camera. I have an S9+ and with S22 Ultra I'm just going from 1440p to 1440p with a slightly better processor I guess. If S20 Ultra and S22 Ultra have the same camera I might as well get the cheaper one...

Finished Doom 64 after 25 years of wanting to check it out. Pretty short game but it was fantastic, probably my new favorite retro Doom. For a long time this was really hard to get to because I didn't have an N64, then when emulation came around for it, the game was way too dark to play. So it's...

Oh it does look better? That's cool. I haven't done a side by side comparison and the PS5 Blood Dragon basically looks like what I remember the PS3 version looking like ten years ago. Course if I actually put them side by side I'd probably see that the PS3 version in 2022 doesn't look like it...

Blood Dragon is soooooo good, I wish I could play it for the first time again. At least I got the digital PS5 version for free cause of FC6 so I can play that. It isn't really any different from the PS3 version though, maybe a little sharper. Not a full-on remaster AFAIK. I should play that...

Yeah, it seems that way. Maybe it's time for me to go back to desktops and spring for that crypto mining rig I was considering putting together a year ago. I don't know though, laptops are super convenient since I'm not home a lot of the time and can get stuff done on the go.

I'm still swamped with icons and it's making pretty much everything on here unreadable, meeeh.

I've got a Legion Y545 and it absolutely sucks. I bought it in...mid-2019 I think? It might have been 2018 but I think it was 2019. Thing has had one problem after another. I had to replace a bunch of parts over time and it still keeps having issues. So I caution people to watch out for Legions...

Posted the new thread. Challenge starts today and runs through April 30th. @Regime pls post your Far Cry 6 post over there so it doesn't get missed later.

This month's backlog challenge is going to be a little different. As usually, the objective is just to beat games and post about it here for a chance to win fabulous prizes. PRIZE #1 - Defeat Rajaah Challenge (WINNER-TAKE-ALL) - Going off of Howlongtobeat.com times and adding up scores as in...

I agree. I'm thinking I'll front the reward for the winner of the main challenge (which will be bigger than this month) and if @Utnayan wants to front an overall participation raffle reward we can have that again. I'm doing a post for the next challenge now, and I can edit it to add a third...

We could each put up one of the two prizes, and I can run it. I'm coming up with some ideas.

Doesn't look like it. I could host to keep things moving. We'll see after this weekend (insanely busy weekend for me). Anyone have any ideas for changes they want to make for the next one? Maybe use a new system besides HLTB? I don't know, let's hear some suggestions.

Crowd: "YOU SCREWED RAJ!" ::Rajaah writes "WCW" in the air:: Kurgan: "Quite frankly, Raj screwed Raj."

Yeah, I was mostly referring to general other servers / future servers when I talked about prioritizing Inktuta's shard. Mischief is its own beast, where up is down and down is up.

After I thought about it more, I realized that it's possible he was taking another SIM card out of his mouth and that'd make a hell of a lot more sense. I probably glanced away from the screen and glanced back in time to see him putting the card back and it appeared that he'd just licked it...

Frenzy scales off of your weapon's DMG, plus the Frenzy stat. So an item with 25 Frenzy on it or something is a nice hit to it. In SoD at level 75 you can get a bunch of Frenzy type 3 augs very easily (I still use the best ones at 120). This also means that in later expansions where 2HB =...

The Cursecallers are really tough even out of era. The last shard I needed to finish BIC was Inktuta of all places and I remember going back there with like 25-30 people at level 75 or 80 or something just to get me a shard. We won, but we got our asses kicked in the process. Was shocking. I...

Nice, you did it. I thought about making some sort of speedrun push to get something else done in the few hours I had before midnight tonight but I don't know of anything I'm working on that's that close to the end. Except maybe Doom 64 HD which I'm halfway through, but even that IDK.

Did some more with this. Had a blast in Hirata Manor in particular, that place makes you feel super-badass. Something about sneaking around a heavily-guarded place at night in the rain and assassinating everybody. Got to both of the early big bosses, horseback guy and Lady Butterfly. Got...

I'm still seeing people (often people who haven't even tried it) trashing Elden Ring for "inaccessibility" and having difficulty that doesn't accomodate players, and not having an easy mode. I don't get it. ER is probably the easiest Soulsborne game, and accomodates people of all skill levels...

WoW will never have enchanters. Their opinion of their playerbase is waaaaay too low to introduce a complex class like that that could frighten people off. ...and they're probably right.

I've always thought that WoW needed to do what EQ does and have the previous expansion(s) still have viable content to do during the current expansion. In ANY given EQ expansion, people are still doing stuff from the past 1-4 expansions (depending on era) because there are still things WORTH...

Yeah, I realized that later after I posted. Meleequest is in full swing after the initial rush is over. Maybe I'll go Ranger after all and save Mage for the next normal TLP.

I'm more or less in the same boat. Have Thursday off but I'm just gonna end up working extra time because I'm still making up lost time from Elden Ring hijacking my life for a few weeks. Anyone planning on running the April contest? I don't want to step on any toes, but maybe I'll run the...

Got a weird question. Was watching The Raid 2 and at one point the main character takes the SIM card out of his phone, licks it, and puts it back in. He does this at a time when he's under heavy surveillance and needs to make some calls that he doesn't want traced, which he makes after...

Does Zoo drop it? I thought it required Ikkinz+ instances. Regardless, I got it in era myself, but I remember seeing several zerkers over the next few expansions who didn't have it and couldn't get help to go back and redo the raids. Much easier to just get it done while everybody is splitting...

I'm not the only one saying that the IRS is getting "weaponized". It's all over the place: https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+biden+is+weaponizing+the+irs&cvid=885235e973da4c8bbde874dbec0d0fa7&aqs=edge..69i57.4321j0j1&pglt=771&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=LCTS There's a concerted effort to increase its reach...

Definitely WW2 because of the historical component of doing battles that really happened. They had good attention to detail in terms of what weapons were used when (like you'll see more modern machine guns in 1945 battles and mostly older rifles in 1941 battles). Advanced Warfare is #2 because...

Rogan's show has been worse lately. He also had this CIA guy on recently who just spread Ukraine misinformation (well, CIA misinformation really) for the whole show and Rogan wasn't calling him on anything. At least, from the clips I saw. For example, pushing the idea that the 2014 Ukraine...

He's right. If the media covered anything else, it'd be way harder for the race vultures to pretend that The Police are the thing causing over 40% of young black male deaths to be from fuckin' homicide every year. FORTY PERCENT

The current PS Plus price is $60 a year, right? I'll probably stick with that, never really use PS Plus for anything except online playing anyway. A Gamepass type subscription has its appeal, but I already have a backlog shelf with like 40 things on it.

If I do this TLP I think I'll run a Mage this time. I seem tapped-out on monk and necro (my old standbys) and I've played pretty much everything else extensively at this point except Ranger. While Ranger would be good in this era too, Mage is a curiosity for me and I could try pushing the meta a...

I predicted it at the beginning of the month: Elden Ring is gonna dominate people's gametime this month. It accounts for half of my 100 score

I took a swing at Resident Evil 1 Remastered last night. Man, even with the tank controls changed to normal controls, it just feels so clunky and disorienting with the constant camera angle switches. I don't know if I've got it in me to play this even though I've wanted to for years. I think...
