There are some pretty big quest-related reasons for Freeport staying the way it is, plus those zones would look super-dated if reverted. What they could do is revamp all of those zones AGAIN and give them the exact same layouts they had originally, only with modern visuals / polygon count, add...

Huh, I don't know why I thought there were around 400. I must be thinking of OoW, since I played through OoW and GoD in the same timeframe, hit max level and started AAing in WoS. So the two blend together for me to an extent. PoP and Luclin both also have WAY more AAs than 160. The devs were in...

A lot of regular group-level players couldn't get any use out of GoD past Natimbi, too. So the whole expansion was just a muddy beach with stonemites for those people, setting foot in Qinimi or even the steps outside of it was basically just death. I guess Abysmal Sea had its uses for those...

In the immortal words of Scott Pilgrim, "now I'm sad!" You make some sound points here though. Looks like some rocky days are ahead. I still fully believe that by 2024/2025 we're going to see a price surge unlike any before following the next Bitcoin halving. It'd be nice if we got the normal...

How I'd do it: 2022: Luclin Remake Pt 2 (Mayong) 2023: PoP Remake Finale (Loruella, Earth/Water) 2024: Muramites return (not a GoD remake, but something vaguely similar with them invading Alaris or something) with the 4th and final Rider as the endboss. I'd have the first zone of Alaris be the...

You're a bitch for all this. I'm just kidding, I agree. They did a pretty good job with the Kunark remake and I think a lot of people were happy to get a fleshed-out version of Kunark with tons of quests, etc. The quality level went way downhill for the Velious remake, especially the back half...

I'm just gonna put this out there, the BIC quest was the best quest I've ever done in EQ. That alone makes GoD a worthwhile expansion. Though admittedly I haven't done the Artisan's Prize or some of the bigger tradeskill quests (Eron's Jewelry, Aid Grimel) but I doubt they've got anything on...

How do you get all your GoD AAs on day one? Bank 130 beforehand and Deep AOE for ten hours? IIRC there are like 400 AAs for the average class in GoD. If that's a "get all your AAs on day one" expansion then so are PoP and Luclin. Edit: Nevermind, I'm wrong

Don't have any screenshots for the loss porn, but I'm down about 62% in my entire crypto portfolio since October. I mean everyone's down a fair amount right about now but I also rode the Shiba Slide for 3 months before this.

You never lose money until you sell, but you lose time by staying in something that isn't working. Over the 4 months or so that I sat in SHIB while it lost value, I could have been trading in various other things that were all gaining value. Also I'm trading pretty emotionlessly. Weirdly...

That'd be pretty interesting, flip everything on its head. I hope the Alex Jones guy on the TV turns out to be right about whatever he was saying in that one blurb.

I should just take off and sell all my ETH from orbit. It's the only way to fix everything. Edit: I did it, but it probably won't accomplish much. MATIC at 1.60 right now is a pretty good long-term buy, probably a lot better than ETH's price point, who knows though. Gonna see what everything...

Saw all four episodes. I like the show but I also don't like it. Every other word is fuck, and after a while you're wondering if anyone on the show has a fucking vocabulary. It also has that Modern Show Syndrome where everyone is hostile all the time, especially women to men (except the black...

I like COD campaigns too but I haven't tried any Black Ops because I heard so much bad stuff about their campaigns. I liked the single-player campaigns in Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, Vanguard, Cold War, and really liked WW2. The big glaring omission is the Modern Warfare series...

Vanguard, I think that's the class I played in 1 and 2. Being able to zip around the battlefield with the body-crash move while unloading shotguns was a good time. I've got KOTOR 1 and 2 on the OG Xbox and I've been meaning to give them a run for years. Lucked out and found both of them at a...

Berenstein Bears was my first encounter with the Mandela Effect stuff. At some point in the early 2000's or late 90's I saw a Berenstain Bears book and thought it was a typo, then saw a bunch more and wondered why they changed it. I had a bunch of the Berenstein books as a kid, and I know the...

I found ME3 to be way more of a shooter and way less of an RPG, compared to ME2 and especially ME1. Might just be because of my class choice. I chose the class that dashes and uses shotguns/melee for the first two, then the default soldier for the third. ME3 is still a very good shooter, just...

Zelda: Spirit Tracks is so goddamn awful. Phantom Hourglass has the same annoying stylus controls that give you elbow cramps (meanwhile, the D-Pad and analog stick are just sitting there DOING NOTHING) but Spirit Tracks adds all kinds of new even-more tedious shit. Not only do you have to use...

There a place to watch these online? I have HBO Max, just can't seem to get on it while I'm traveling.

I feel like tonight's Dynamite is the best show they've put on in like 2-3 months. Pretty much since Full Gear, things have been in a bit of a slump. Tonight didn't have a single bad segment (well, it isn't over yet, but yeah). Lots of really good stuff on this episode and they're doing a great...

Who's the third mythical? Manaphy? I started with the Fire guy, caught Luxray (in his first form...best decision I made all game was building him up), got Dialga later on from the story. Mew and Jirachi...the game just GIVES to you in the second town for some reason. I think you have to beat...

Yeah, Valhalla is WAAAAAAY the hell too long. The crazy part is that the main complaint people had across the board about Odyssey was that it was too long / drawn-out. So they literally doubled-down with Valhalla and made it take a goddamn age and a half. The game itself isn't good enough to...

Finished Pokemon Brilliant Diamond. Had some fun with the naming, went with the Fire starter and it was definitely the right choice. I feel like Fire (later Fire/Fighting) is the best starter in Gen 2, 3, AND 4 (don't remember anything after that) by far, like it isn't even close. Considering...

I thought Griff because he's so generic and Pillman Jr made a good impression out of the gate, but after seeing both in action so many times... I'm gonna say neither is the Janetty and both have a future. But if one's gonna fall off, I think it'll be Pillman Jr. I see big things for Young Griff...

I noticed that about LOTRO. While EQ and WoW really kind of "start" at endgame (or at least, getting to max level is just step one of the overall journey), LOTRO is the opposite. There's very little endgame content, at least when I checked in on it. There was like, one 12-man raid at the end of...

Yes, you should sell all your Ethereum at 3100.

Cool.

Just watched SS2/TSS/Whatever on blu-ray. It was pretty entertaining, if a bit...gross? I'll say this, it's one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen, and the first one to really successfully "subvert expectations" in a positive way. The guy I thought was going to be the main character DIED...

How are live server populations at this point? My 33 hunter is on one, maybe Landroval, that name rings a bell. Last time I logged in, which was admittedly like 2018, there were a lot of people running around Bree and Rivendell. Those might be central hub areas, though, and not representative of...

Yeah. Raid progression is pretty much mandatory now because the group game seems to be tuned for raid gear. Like I have basically maxed-out raid gear from the expansion before the current one, minus a few major key items like the Artisan's Prize, and as a Zerker I can barely tank anything above...

The two-headed New Zlandicar is, from what I can tell, a product of him fusing with Talendor. Talendor is the Big Bad of the Kunark remake. Zlandi isn't the Big Bad of the Velious remake (Vulak is) but he's still doing a lot of scheming and so forth. So basically after you defeated Talendor in...

Consistently terrible, huh? I barely even remember Karate Kid 2, and don't remember that about the Crane Kick. That's actually hilarious. I think Chozen did pass along the secret technique, which means it isn't the Crane Kick since he knows it already. I wonder what the new secret is. Grew up...

This thread has reminded me how much I'd like to get a mining rig set up, especially right now when I have free electricity at one place. I looked into this about a year ago, but obtaining all of the parts was a bitch and a half. Not keen on hitting Ebay to pay double to scalpers for anything...

I bet Skye Blue is wild in the sack. I've seen out-of-"character" videos of her and she cusses like a sailor. I've seen a few people shitting on Punk vs Wardlow, mainly for making Punk look weak and changing the focus from Punk/MJF to Wardlow/MJF. I don't think Wardlow should be getting...

Add me to the pile of Shazam people. It's entirely possible we're all getting the movie confused with Shaq's movie Kazaam. However I grew up knowing Sinbad as "the guy from the genie movie" so this was, again, something I was confused by as an adult when I heard that the movie wasn't a thing.

Sounds a lot like Cobra Kai. The main dude isn't into insufferable SJW stuff and just sorta laughs at it for most of the show, but later on he does sort of "adopt" it by using some of the woke terminology to impress some high schoolers. It's refreshing to have leads who don't GAF about following...

Finished Samurai Warriors 5. GREAT game, better than the last few musuo games I played. There are two main campaigns, finished one and it took about 13 hours. Good for now but I might revisit it in the future for the plat. Nobunaga was the campaign I played. Looks like the other one is just...

Mankind Divided was okay but I can safely say the bloom is off the rose in this one, playing them back to back. It flew by, can tell it was unfinished. I liked the last Prague level with the pouring rain, that was pretty rad.

Yeah it's definitely an awesome world. Playing Mankind Divided now which I think got bad reviews IIRC, or at least mediocre scores. It definitely seems more "generic" than Human Revolution so far, think I'm around halfway through it since I started it before Human Revolution was done. They got...
