    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I wonder how much Blizzard spent on this event to gain literally 0 new customers.

    Path of Exile

    This was even worse for slams because of the 2H windup; I cannot tell you how many times I was stunned when my weapon was .001 sec away from completing the first attack. That leads to stunlock and then death in higher tiers.

    Sales Career Thread - Uncapped Commission for Everyone

    Any other career sales people lurking in the forums? I know that @Haus is in IT sales like me, but it thought it would be interesting to see who else stresses about quotas every quarter. I have only worked for pretty large corporations and would love to hear more about smaller/family owned...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I forgot how fucking awesome that scene with Cap and the hammer was. How could anyone see those 2 minutes and then think that fucking Falcon could ever hold a candle to Steve Rogers?

    Cheated out of my youth

    Is the age of consent in AZ really 18? Weird.

    Desktop Computers

    My desktop is approaching 7 years old and I was looking into building another one, but the cost of graphics cards is really making me not want to do it. I have a GTX 1060 right now which is a dinosaur by today's standards. However, it only cost me $280 and it was pretty good at the time. Now...

    Path of Exile

    The amount of QOL changes is actually angering. It's like there was a backlog of them that the executive team just wouldn't approve even though they are all great.

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    Also, finally, they train you to look for openings to heal....and then the last few bosses give you 0, ZERO, openings. Why make the game play a certain way just to make you unlearn the shit later on?

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    Also, Radiance being gated behind the 4th phase of the Hollow Knight for each attempt is fucking retarded as well. Some really dumb decisions at the end of this game.

    Hollow Knight - Metroidvania meets Dark Souls

    I'm playing through this for the first time. They did themselves a disservice with the White Palace. There is nothing fun about it.

    Weather

    Well, gents. We just got power back after bearing the brunt of Beryl. The eye went directly over my house and our neighborhood. Power lost for around 36 hours. I need recommendations on a whole home genny. I am thinking commercial, not residential.

    Dresden Files

    When this thread gets bumped I just know I'm in for disappointment. Hewas on a fucking tear with the books and then just stopped for that other series. I can always hope he will just bear down and finish it, but that is unlikely.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Ok, so they have said this is it for Elden Ring, no more expansions or DLCs, or sequels. I am frustrated because there is a ton of stuff that is just completely unexplained; stuff that Dark Souls eventually did in DS2 and DS3. Super disappointing knowing that we will never get answers to very...

    I swear that all of this is in an attempt to get Dr. Disrespect to break the NDA. He is being dragged through the mud by people that seem to think they cannot be held accountable (and probably cannot will not be). The most surprising part is his YouTube channel being demonetized; how does a...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Fuck no. We don't need this as a shitty show or series that doesn't understand fuck all about the game. FromSoft games do not have a story or plot in any way conducive to TV or movies.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    The old @BoozeCube D4 paradox. Shits on the game for a half decade before and after it comes out; also is one of the top 4 players on the forum. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Can't explain that.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Drinker may shit on woke media hard, but most of his critique comes in how these shows handle the writing because he is a published fucking author with a series of 9 moderately successful books. Maybe his books aren't great, but he is usually talking about how dumb the writers are when it comes...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Held in My Gaze or whatever that single target shot is + the staff that allows you to use the first one without spending AP or the action is great.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I went to the Rouge Trader CRPG reddit for the first time just now to see what the talk of the patch was now that I had completed a blind playthrough. This was the second hot post:

    Blazing Saddles (1974)

    This is a freaking classic. I love how in the scene @lgarthy posted that it is slow moving, slow cuts, and no background music. Just building up the scene.

    Shouldn't it be all about the timing of the reveal? What if he got a little innuendo-y with this girl and then she either offered up her age or he asked and then he shut it down? If there are lewd/weird messages after her age was established then we can have a conversation about content.

    The Acolyte

    That is exactly what happened. The new trilogy had an utterly terrible STORY; they relied on Han and Leia's performances to carry the nostalgia from Force Awakens, but the story behind where they had been was garbage. The second movie has a ton of Luke in it and in Hamill's own words he hated...

    The Acolyte

    KOTOR and the original trilogy were good because they were story driven, not character driven. Sure, they are iconic characters now; but look what happened to the new movies when they tried to focus on the three heroes with a story that made no sense? Utter drivel. Turns out that Star Wars is...

    Robert Jackson Bennett

    The first one was really good. He really has a way of crafting a weird, compelling setting. I started the second one, got 50 pages in, it didn't catch me so I stopped and don't know how I feel about it so far. His one shot novels were great, but just the start to this second one where he is...

    This is absolutely in no way going to happen. There is no possible way that fat fuck could keep his completion of Winds under wraps so completely that it would not be leaked.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    You have a point there. Some of the talents, specialty classes, and interactions felt like they were unnecessary and a little opaque.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I finally got around to this and should have donevit sooner. I'm in act 2 now and this is fucking awesome. They nailed the WH40k ascetic and somehow mixed in a nostalgic dose of Mass Effect 1 planet scanning. I cannot point out a downside.

    Investing General Discussion

    Haha, this is easy. A buyer is paid on how much money he/she can save the company. One of them saw a fat bonus by agreeing to a ridiculous, but less than reputable, contract. Turns out it was fake! Everyone is (not) surprised.

    Path of Exile

    I don't play ARPG's to get a Dark Souls like feel. I play DARK SOULS to scratch that itch. GGG trying to fix problems that don't exist instead of the problems that are pretty fucking obvious in POE that hold it back from being uncontested #1 ARPG of all time instead of just #1 of all time...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    The combat is fine, you will have to get used to Souls game combat. The exploration is what makes it excellent. Have you ever played a game with a map that doesn't tell you anything about where to go or what to do? How about one that absolutely rewards you for every single bit of digging into...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    The more I look back on EQ and WoW, the more I realize that my favorite parts of those games were the exploration, being truly excited/terrified of what was coming around the corner, and the satisfaction of completing a hard dungeon/raid. Every single one of those things was satisfied twice...
