    Computer Issues

    Having an issue with a Lenovo Legion Y540. One of the fans on it was doing the buzzing chainsaw thing all laptop fans seem to do after a while when they fail, so I got a replacement set of fans (CPU/GPU). Turned the laptop off, had the "Update and Shut Down" thing going on because it hasn't...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 3 ends Feb 28

    Finished Dark Souls Remastered (and then beat the final boss again for the other ending). I've played the others as melee specs, but I always play this first game as a caster. I really like the Big Hat Logan spells. I think I even played as a Faith caster once, though the slowness of their...

    Yeah, I'm shocked that isn't what happened. Rumor is Tony prodded him to do it and Cody wanted to stay face. I think Cody has big aspirations of running for office in a few years, and part of that is being a beloved character on TV in the meantime. Everything he's doing (the reality show, etc)...

    This means WWE's pocketbook is now a fully-armed and operational battle station. If they're willing to shell out ludicrous money for Cody, they'll shell it out for MJF, Wardlow, Jungle Boy, Sammy Guevara, really ANYBODY that AEW is building around, the minute their contracts run out, and now...

    It was last minute indeed, he had a meeting with Khan on Friday to go over his new contract and they couldn't agree on it. TK basically lowballed him and I guess between that and the savage crowd reactions he's been getting, Cody just went "fuck it" Then again, he did just spend months cutting...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, caster makes Demon and Dark 1 super easy in comparison to melee. My current Souls 1 run has me playing an almost pure fighter for the first time ever and not using any kind of ranged damage or attack spells. In the past I'd always run a battlemage type deal and melee with damage spells if...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Bigger, Bolder, Buggier...Boyish-er than ever. I may beat up on the game, but I'm sure I'll play this (and the original) sooner or later. They're fantastic-looking visually and the whole post-post apocalyptic theme is interesting.

    Far Cry 6

    Just finished the game, pretty much speedran the whole thing by taking out all of the AA gun emplacements early on and then using the helicopter/plane summon from base to fly in and air-drop every time I had a mission in the middle of nowhere (which was most of the missions). Probably saved me a...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 3 ends Feb 28

    Finished Far Cry 6. The last couple of missions were really good/intense and the most fun I had all game. The rest was a bit meh, about 10 hours too long and way too much busywork. Halve the game's length and make more of it like the last couple missions and it could have been incredible. That...

    Event Horizon (1997)

    Watching the movie now on that Youtube link and I can answer my own question: It's from 1981 which pre-dates all of Cameron's big movies, so he probably got inspiration from it. The opening shot looks VERY Terminator-esque and the first few scenes remind me heavily of Aliens, from the boardroom...

    Peacemaker

    LOL, I'm glad I started something with that comparison. I left off on episode 5 (I think?) and need to get caught up on this ASAP. That watchseries link from earlier in the thread isn't working anymore for Peacemaker episodes, anyone have an alternate means to watch this online? I guess I can...

    Event Horizon (1997)

    I might be remembering wrong, but didn't James Cameron either influence or get a lot of influence from this movie? I remember there being something really important about Galaxy of Terror but I don't know what. I'm gonna watch it later, for the first time.

    Nope (2022)

    I dunno, this looks interesting to me. I want to know what this dastardly sky menace is, because knowing Peele, things aren't usually as they seem. Besides, "Us" was like the creepiest fucking movie I've ever seen, in a "lots of us are at war with ourselves" kind of way that revealed the thin...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 3 ends Feb 28

    Back, plowing Far Cry 6 as we speak. Was planning to plow the new Pokemon game today but I ended up deciding to finish off FC6 once I found out how far along I'd gotten with it. Also have a Dark Souls Remastered run going. Never played it before, only the original. I fully plan to plat this, but...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, I usually go offline my first run at these games. Eventually I end up going online when there's a tough boss I need help with. Every Fromsoft game (except Demon's) has 1-3 fights that I always end up needing help with. It takes a lot to get me to cave on that, like the worst of the worst...

    Everything’s Gonna Be All White

    Yep, Asian-on-Black rape basically doesn't exist at all, talking like single digits per year sort of thing. Black-on-Asian on the other hand is fucking nuts. Just noticed they very intentionally have the w small-case in wHITE. Is that whole thing about how we're supposed to capitalize Black...

    Everything’s Gonna Be All White

    The stats aren't THAT bad you say? I'm pretty sure they are, 93-7 and 99-1 on murder and rape respectively. Best-case scenario it might be like 90-10 for murders between black/white versus each other. And yeah, when you also factor in other races (especially Asian and Jewish) and the amount of...

    Watched the Rumble (I generally skim the RR and WM even if I'm not watching WWE at all otherwise, have been doing that for a few years now). Who is this insanely fucking gorgeous ring announcer? It isn't Jojo, or anyone I've ever seen before. I didn't exactly get the best screenshots of her...

    Everything’s Gonna Be All White

    All CNN and MSNBC even DO is race-baiting shit. I struggle to find any actual news on mainstream news networks...during the 10 minutes a week when I'm forced to watch them in a waiting room or airport. As for the subject of this thread, I played the initial video (with an open mind) and checked...

    Pokemon (Handhelds, not Go)

    I still have a Pokemon Platinum run to do in the future so I'll keep all this info for that. I'll probably base my party entirely around defeating Cynthia at the end, since nothing else in the game poses that much of a threat. Staravia, Gyarados, Abomasnow, and whatever else. Intimidate...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    If you want something Gears of War like and set in space, pick up Vanquish Remastered instead. Like $10 on PSN and fucking fantastic, probably better than this lump of coal.

    Dark Souls

    Started a Dark Souls Remastered run. Never played this version before, and I expected improvements along the line of Scholar of the First Sin. The graphics aren't THAT much better than I remember (just higher-res) and the framerate doesn't feel as high as SOTFS. It basically feels just like the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Definitely do that, you want this on the best OLED possible. I'll be playing it on the C1 I got last year, which I still need to get professionally calibrated I think (I did my best to calibrate it myself already, but I also live in a new place). Open world games aren't usually visually...

    I think Rosa was always the plan for who Britt drops the belt to, since they had that MOTY last year. Expecting Britt/Rosa to main event and Rosa to come out to Thunderstruck at the PPV. If that happens, she's winning. If it's placed below Page/Cole and has normal entrances, Britt is retaining...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    TBH I'd rather just have a marker on the map. I don't got time for all the reading and rummaging around in the grass looking for the Lost Clitoris or whatever. I hope there are mods for that. 20 years ago I would have totally taken the game on au naturale. I don't know about doped-up...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    If they're gonna do an AC in the Middle-East, I'd like to see them remake AC1. All the other early ACs (PS3-gen) have gotten remasters besides that one, and the lack of an AC1 remaster makes me wonder if they're planning something bigger, sorta like what happened with Demon's Souls. A full-on...

    Uncharted (2022)

    They should have cast Nathan Filion to play Drake and I'm shocked that they didn't. 10 years ago everyone was clamoring for that casting if this movie ever got made. Gotta say, $10 for a movie ticket and a ton of trophies is pretty tempting. I got like 60% in UC1 and 3 and 92% (including the...

    Rate Movies You've Recently Watched.

    True Romance was my favorite movie for a long time. It's still top 10, maybe even cracking the top 5. It's been supplanted by a bunch of horror sci-fi type stuff like The Thing, Body Snatchers '77, Terminator 1+2, and Aliens. Patricia Arquette is so goddamn gorgeous in this movie. In the last...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Morrowind has been backlogged for me since like 2014 when I got into the ES series. I loved the games before it and after it and I really need to play it. Have it on PC already (physical release with the maps and everything), just need the right graphics mod and a computer that isn't a pain in...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I agree, that shit is annoying. I've been annoyed by the term "Metroidvania" for years because to me, games like that are "Metroid-style". It came out well before 'Vania appropriated the style. Now you've got BOTW appropriating the style that Skyrim and Witcher 3 popularized and taking all the...

    Remakes you wouldn't mind

    The couple of remakes I'd like to see are more in the TV series realm, but I suppose they could have movie lead-ins since they did originally. The Dead Zone: Would like to see a TV series or a movie remaking this story. It got both in the past (they were independent of each other and told...

    That was always hilarious to me about EQ. Back in the day I played a Necro, and this was like 1999 so everything was KOS. I'd aggro some bard NPC and escape, then a few minutes later I'd be across the zone doing something and I'd see the damn bard NPC in the distance running over the hills in a...

    Decided to give this commie fuckfest another try so I snagged it from the library (they ain't getting my money). Looks like I'm way further along than I thought. I would have guessed I was like 10% through the game but I'm more like 35%. Considering how little I played this, I must have been...

    Funny story about Arceus, I went to Best Buy to pick it up and they didn't have it. I was like "any other stores have it?" and the clerk (who was right out of Idiocracy) was like "naw everybody sold out" so I asked if I could order it online and she went on the computer and was like "naw you...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I kinda agree here. Two really good things may result from this current stupid brouhaha: One, Rogan is gonna emerge redpilled. He'd be a tremendous ally to the left since he aligns with them ideologically in a lot of ways, but instead they made sure to push him away just because he isn't in line...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I think Rogan is "bending the knee" because he's a legitimately decent person who doesn't want to negatively affect anyone on a major level with his words/actions. If he feels like he hurt somebody, he'll feel bad about it. I'm sure he regrets using a word that hurts a lot of people, even if in...

    Pokemon (Handhelds, not Go)

    I got through Pokemon Brilliant Diamond by basically leaning heavily on my OP party with 3 legendaries in it (the game just gives you 3 legendaries near the beginning, seriously). I rolled over the entire game with ease, and watched things while I played to ease the boredom. Then the final boss...
