    Ashes of Creation

    Does it really matter? The only people who will ever play this game are the ones that paid $200 for it. It's not necessarily vaporware, but it's never getting released.

    Arc Raiders

    Launching on the 6th? That's pretty wild to not even announce a launch until launch day.

    Agreed with too short. I feel like every time I'm like "did I quit this show?" Watch the next episode, it gets maybe kind of interesting, but not really super interesting. Next one rolls around and I'm not sure if I give a shit about the show or not. On the plus side, they're short, so I'm not...

    I like Rich's reaction. Just like, "yep, not unexpected for this place."

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    For some reason the posts about this one remind me of that Erenshor game from last month, whose interest seems to have completely died. This just another flash in the pan to hold you all over for a couple weeks?

    Market isn't up nearly as much as you all said it would be last night. Edit: Market red. Tariffs wtf?

    I mean, in theory if I were a vendor, I'd just have a different gold price, and it'd be exorbitant. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, how do you deal with counterfeit gold? But the whole thing is retarded.

    I imagine this probably got greenlit after the game made shit tons of cash.

    Markets down though. Pretty much anytime the Fed speaks now, markets go down. They don't inspire much confidence in anything I suppose.

    This seems to be missing an understanding of what backing a currency with gold is, versus trading in actual gold. Requiring gold and silver to be accepted as legal tender is insane, because as said, it means every single transaction needs to be able to be conducted in gold or silver now, and if...

    I mean, I get it. You're trying to make sense of it all. But when tech companies that didn't produce anything, but went public and their stocks started going to the moon based on some hypothetical earnings a decade in the future, the whole system fell apart. Earnings have absolutely nothing to...

    I've said it so many times in this thread, but PE is worthless. You'd be calling the valuations from 2012 overvalued still, and sitting there wondering why the market is up 700% and why you missed it

    Dune Awakening

    Oh, nevermind. It's $20 to play 5 days early? Fuck off. And even more retarded, one of the "features" is you get access to DLC...which releases on launch day? So you've got DLC on game launch? Man, Funcom...what the fuck happened to you?

    Lilo & Stitch (2025)

    I liked the "made her do x" part. Uh yes, that's how this works. They aren't real people, they're fictional and they do whatever the writers and directors want.

    Well shit, I didn't realize there was a 5 day head start on this one. Was trying to figure out what to play for the next two weeks.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Will they though? Like, if you had told me Mel Brooks died 5 years ago and I just missed/forgot about it, I wouldn't be shocked. Mel Brooks and Clint Eastwood are old as shit. Shit, Mel is, and Clint almost is, part of the Greatest Generation. You know, the one that comes before the Silent...

    Dune Awakening

    I really dislike public servers for survival games. I just think everything's going to turn into a shit show like Rust, where you spend all this time doing the survival shit only for some group of griefers to take/destroy it all when you're offline.

    Sure, you can argue they sucked at establishing lines of communication. But they ended up all over the place with varying degrees of success.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Edit: Was writing this while you posted the above. I should probably just move on since you're not even done with the story. This is why I said in a previous post that the story is great because you constantly think you've got it figured out, but you don't. I'd also suggest you start collecting...

    Yeah, it's overpriced compared to the rest of Nashville. It's always been the ritzy part. It's not particularly rural either.

    Finished up my 100% at about 38.5 hours. Not sure I have it in me to NG+ this though. Seems like it'd just be boring since I'm pretty sure I'll one shot everything at this point.

    Temper your expectations though. It didn't blow me away or anything. It just wasn't as bad as the first.

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    It's funny, I look at that cast list, and the glaring one to me is Shang Chi. It probably explains why these post-Endgame phases are so fucking terrible. Really, it'll be 5 years between movies, and he only ever appeared in the one? I know people hated the movie, but it's like they gave zero...

    Franklin has been overpriced for at least 20 years. And 1800 sqft isn't a starter home (or "small cottage").

    This comes pretty close. I didn't love it though. It went super hard on woke shit, and Perry seems kind of like a raging faggot.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Saw a comment on a random YouTube video, but if you want to farm the shit out of some Colours of Lumina, and you haven't killed the Chromatic Danseuse yet (Old Lumiere), you can basically kill the two clones and it'll resummon them instantly. Dodge the attacks of Danseuse. Each clone drops 5...

    I watched episode two last night and it wasn't as bad as the first. I was ready to write the show off entirely but I'll give it another episode. But I also have no background with the story like some of you.

    Jesus, this was quite the experience. I started off kind of being amazed at all the little details they included and I was like "I'll post about that." But there were so many, from those fucking water bottles, to those god damn plastic chairs that were everywhere, to the little toughbook...

    I'm confused by that. The US 30 year is at almost 5%. Why would Japan's 3% be a big wtf? The zero and negative interest rates were insane several years ago.

    Went ahead and finished. This game is damn spectacular. The music, the art, the story. All incredible. It's even got the narrative piece that Mike from RLM mentioned recently, the "if you were in their position, what would you do?" I don't play a ton of games, but this one is by far the best...

    Oh shit, well that's the actual easter egg then. I started watching the Asmon Act 2 playthrough video, and it's crazy how different the story is when you know what's going on. I had the same reactions he did when playing, of "what the fuck is even going on." I had theories of who was actually...

    I mean, everyone called how retarded this shit was to begin with. The ABS part is new. But still, the company will likely bankrupt before the end of the year, not even remotely making it close to the end of the decade. Anyone who loses money on this one deserves it. It doesn't (hopefully) have...
