    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    I hunkered down and finished Spirit Tracks. Easily the least-fun Zelda game I've ever played by far. You pretty much have to be a Zelda superfan to like this one. At least Link and Zelda finally reach 1st Base in this. Actually Zelda is easily the best thing about the game but she can't save it...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    That'll show Rogan, the guy who spreads Anti-Vax Disinformation by having vaccine experts on to talk about holding governments accountable and present varied perspectives. I hope they fry the bastard! I imagine Rogan sleeps pretty well knowing he's on the right side of history in terms of...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    This ends tomorrow night, right? The end of the 31st, not the beginning of the 31st? Cause I got to the (awful and tedious) final boss of Spirit Tracks and penciled it in for tomorrow since I wanted to relax today and hang out with people. This sounds like something I'd probably like, both...

    You get one superpower

    I was gonna choose "flight" or "be irresistable to women" but after seeing the available choices... I don't wanna be a superhero anymore Gun to my head, I'll pick the soy sauce one

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I agree that GOP in power is more bullish for crypto than DNC, just going by the past year. However, Trump himself wasn't too keen on crypto either, as I recall. But I don't remember him actively going after it, so it'd still be a step up from the current random menacing from Yellen. Yeah...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah, things can change very rapidly. When Biden jokes around about "I don't know if there will even be a republican party in 2024" I don't take it as a joke. One terror attack (or "terror attack") or conflict and they can quickly undo all of our norms, criminalize groups of people with...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Some people really like the DS Zeldas, I'm just not one of them. If I'd played them in-era when they were more of a thing, alongside other people, I'd probably have liked them more. Instead I played them like ten years after the fact just because I wanted to finish the series, so it was work.

    I'm still working on Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Game is horrible, so I'm here to warn people against it. Looks like a lot of comment sections on the game are full of people saying it's the worst Zelda game, or that it's their last one so they're playing it out of completionism/obligation. Which is...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I tell people they should get into this stuff because at the end of the day it's easier to figure out than the stock market and there's a lot of money to be made here. If someone can fuck up as much as I do and still break even, I imagine people who are experts (or have copious amounts of luck)...

    Well, so much for our portfolio values. Even BTC isn't safe from government-created FUD.

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    I believe both prizes are random. So one is rolled between everyone who participated and one is rolled with more weight given to the people with more games. What helps me is that the contests came along at a time when I was already planning on clearing out as much backlog as I can...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Finished Scott Pilgrim vs The World. This has been on the backlog for years cause I love the movie. Well, the game is kind of medium, lot of bugs and whatnot but it has enough charm to get by. Was surprised to find that even though it's a beat-em-up, you pretty much have to level up to proceed...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Now that I think back on it, I think you're right about Dozekar. Wonder who the mom was. Also worth noting that Dozekar was originally a blue dragon and they changed him to a rust dragon a few months after Velious launched...no idea why, or if that's part of his lore. The fact that Dozekar is so...

    Peacemaker

    That pose everyone is in at the end of the intro reminds me of the end of Bob Saget's "aristocrats" joke, for some reason.

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    I feel like Hitler-Fucking Game is one of the signs that we're entering the world of Idiocracy. Actually there's literally a show on TBS now that features a guy getting hit in the balls by all kinds of crazy objects. In any case, just beat Vanquish. What an awesome game, probably the most fun...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Oh that was just a rumor? The game is gonna be able to store like 10,000x the data that it's capped at now. Everything should run better, and in theory they can finally add new races/classes. Think the zone size potential will increase as well.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah, they all took me 20+ and Souls 2 took like 48. I'm expecting Elden Ring to be similar length to that and think they downplayed the hours (probably doesn't count all the death).

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I think Kerafyrm (he/him btw, IIRC) was just created because the devs wanted to create a ludicrously-OP mob just to rampage around and kill players. I got the feeling that a lot of the early EQ development revolved around "what can we design that'll kill people". Like when Kunark first came out...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    I'm one of the people who also likes 2. It has the deepest and most interesting combat/gameplay, IMO. Also the best DLC, by far. Weird thing is, if someone's only gonna play two of them, I'd recommend 1 and 3. Rapture is a tremendous setting, Columbia is a tremendous setting, gotta see both of...

    Pokemon (Handhelds, not Go)

    One of my GFs grew up on the cartoon, so she was very familiar with all the Pokemon without ever playing any of the games. She really wanted me to play one on the TV so she could watch it. This was 2016 so the Switch didn't exist yet. Best I had was Pokemon FireRed on a modded Wii with...

    Pokemon (Handhelds, not Go)

    Yeah I wasn't crazy about Dynamax either. All it is is a giant transformation that completely generi-fies all of your Pokemon's abilities into general type moves. Boring. All the NPCs in Gen 8 make such a big deal about it for the whole game, all Dynamax-this and Dynamax-that. Well I say it's...

    Pokemon (Handhelds, not Go)

    Well, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is coming out in four days. I have no idea if it'll be good or not, but it's described as "Pokemon meets BOTW" and you said he likes that, so it may be the best option. However it's also going to be the most "different" from traditional Pokemon out of all the ones...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing a Vanguard insanity playthrough of all 3 to plat them. Vanguard is so much fun. Still want to try Adept though, is there any one particular game where Adept excels?

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    That makes sense, because from the way SOL is moving compared to other dipped things, I'm not getting the impression that it has anywhere near the consumer confidence that the other major coins on my radar have. Looks like a lot more people are abandoning ship than buying the dip. I was THIS...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I'm kind of pissed that I missed 1.31 MATIC this morning. It's 1.51 now which would still be a deal, but 1.31 would have been *chef's kiss*. Solana has absolutely nosedived, down to 93 which is the lowest I've seen it. 82 this morning. Has taken by far the biggest dumpus of any of the major...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It always gets me when people who rail on the MSM for their dishonest bullshit turn around and cite the MSM when it agrees with them. "They're wrong in everything else, but not on this one thing". Regardless, looks like the crypto markets took a massive dump early this morning, probably in...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Naw, you have way more than enough on your plate already! The Bioshocks aren't really puzzle games though. They're more like the Metroid Prime series, sort of first-person adventures. I like the first two and their focus on booby traps and strategy of that nature (or you can just bulldoze...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Leadership AAs might be some of what I was thinking of as well, because I grinded all of them. Completely maxed-out leader AAs. It was a good impetus to start my own groups constantly, which is how I got anything done back then.

    Just noticed I'm coming up on my 50th platinum trophy. It'll probably be either Code Vein or Rift Apart, maybe GOTG if I can find it. Time for a quick trip down trophy memory lane: Fallout 4 not being at a full 100% really bothers me. Like a lot. I need to find out what I'm missing and go do...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Guardians of the Galaxy was on my shortlist for this challenge, but I can't find the game anywhere! Got it like two months ago at half price and didn't get to it in the first contest. It has completely poofed. I know it's around here somewhere, and I gotta say, this is pretty bizarre. I've never...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Looking at that raidloot link for AAs, it's amazing what a difference class makes in AA totals. For example, Monk/Rogue/Zerker have around 900 AAs from Underfoot, while Ranger/Paladin/SK are in the 1600 area. I jotted down the totals across the board for Bard since they seem to be the most...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I'd like to see one normal and one experimental server each time around. One with a 4x baseline exp modifier worldwide, a "try different classes" server where you're encouraged to reach max level and reroll and try everything. I don't think there has been a server like that before. People will...
