    This was a very short episode. But yeah, much better. I remember reading this last week and it bothered me. She definitely looked better this episode, but man, that plastic surgery is just a trainwreck. I don't know how anyone can find her attractive. The sad part is I found some pictures of...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You say that, but it's been a quarter century and no games have had any success with that model, and that's including EQ who also dumped most of it. Hell, EverQuest even dumped stuff like retarded long travel as early as Planes of Power, just 3 years in (years before WoW was released). Imagine...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I keep logging into this hoping something finally clicks, but if the type of gaming you're describing is their audience, and this is what you're actually looking for, I do think it's hopeless. I've logged in a few times today, looked for a group for a bit, and logged off because you can't...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The irony is, in this situation I did have someone helping me. We couldn't find it. Turned out it was probably 20 feet from where I was searching. I don't think people understand just how little visibility there is in those sandstorms.

    I'm confused how having money in the bank helps you see through a sandstorm better?

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Wait til you die in a sandstorm and have to wait an hour for it to pass because you can't see 5 feet away from you. So your only option is to log off because otherwise you'll die of hunger/thirst as you search for your corpse unsuccessfully.

    Why would I play a 20 year old game because I don't like what the 25 year old game has to offer? Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you people?

    There's plenty of people who love what MnM is selling. They number about 1500-2000 total though. I'm apparently not one of them.

    And yet I've got thousands of hours on the EZ (Extended Zones) server on EQ emu. It's a server that cut out all the fucking retarded shit and lets you just enjoy the game. It's grindy as all hell.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I mean, I wouldn't know, the last time I played WoW was about 20 years ago. If you ever wonder why MMORPG's are a dying niche, it might be because 10 minutes of travel time to "the next zone over" is standard instead of actually playing the game.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I decided to test it out. It took me 6:09 to run there from the western gate with sow, not including the time it took to get sow. 8:57 to get there without sow. So I might've been a bit hyperbolic, but it still fucking sucks. 9 minutes of just running. It's why I responded to someone in the...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I just can't get motivated to play this. I thought this test with lots of people on would do it, but it's just...not. Like, I had my lfg flag on and some dude invited me to a group in Telekir, and the thought of running there for 20 minutes made me close the game and do something else. I keep...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The problem is movement is such a fucking slog in the game, because they go by old school MMO nostalgia or whatever, that everyone wants a class that goes fast. So you get shamans, druids, and bards being the top played classes. Not because anyone wants to play them, but because begging a...

    It's amazing to me the slop people eat up. Dude above saying he laughed his ass off? I'm not trying to be edgy here, but I barely even recognized jokes attempting to be made, much less found them funny. What was so funny? The only "jokes" I saw were from Tim Meadows, and holy shit they were...

    Weapons (2025)

    Been avoiding this thread in case of spoilers. Anyway, went to look at what the VOD release on this is, and it's apparently on the 9th? That's a month and 1 day from the theatrical release. RLM talked about this a while back, but why would I even bother going to the theater anymore? That's insane.

    I'd imagine just the devaluing of the dollar by over printing it. If the money supply was more stable, I'd like to think its value relative to other currencies would also be more stable. Basically you're seeing the purchasing power loss of a dollar that normally gets hidden because everything...

    Just watched this. Enjoyed it well enough on the home screen. I was never bored, and after the first 10 minutes the diversity stuff didn't bother me. The biggest surprise, also pretty early on, was when I noticed that they got all the actual F1 people in the movie. But then, I saw Lewis...

    Abiotic Factor

    Honestly I think the best part of the game is how they mapped it out and made shortcuts all over the place. It gives a real sense of accomplishment. Like, it takes you 5-10 minutes to clear out a place, and you see a door at some point you unlock and suddenly it's a path that now lets you skip...

    We just wrapped this one up, apparently in 51 hours (3 of us). It felt like way more. And we certainly missed a ton of things. It's probably the funnest crafting survival game we've played, although unlike a lot of them, I'm not sure I have a desire to replay this one anytime soon. Which is...

    They and all the other big players for the most part also predicted something like 4-5% annually for this decade. So far unless the market craters to finish out the next 5 years, they're already wrong.

    They keep saying that this is going to be the biggest wealth transfer in history as the Boomers die off, but the oldest are about to hit 80 next year, and it doesn't seem like it's happening.

    I was going to guess Federal Reserve in 1913, and loosened lending requirements during Clinton (remember, the Great Recession started back in the 90s with that). Also, we bought in 2021, at just under $200/sqft. Think our house in 2015 was closer to $110.

    That's probably my biggest complaint about the game. That first little area ends up being the best area for a base. In fact, you're worse off for not making a base there and staying, unless you just do a massive amount of portals/workbenches.
