    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    I still have to get to Horizon. Got it for free when I worked for Gamestop. Was gonna do it before the sequel came out, but after seeing what Aloy looks like in the sequel, I think I'll just stick to the original, no rush on it now. At least Genshin Impact still has a feminine Aloy, leave it to...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Finished Wave Race 64, did normal and hard championships. Got this alongside Mario 64 DS on the Wii U because I remember them being the Big Two N64 games for a while in the first year and I never played Wave Race 64. Unfortunately I found it much harder than, say, Mario Kart, so I just...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Finished Mario 64 DS, one of the four games left on the Wii U backlog for me. Trying to clear out this and the 3DS. This one started out pretty rocky, a worse-looking Mario 64 with worse controls. However around halfway through it, it started to suddenly get really good. Once I had the other...

    Dark Souls

    What in the blue fuck is the context of this picture? Looks like that woman who was dousing herself in Ajax a while back. There are a lot of people who I really hope don't have kids.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Liking the look of Ethereum and its resilience. Got it at about 3150 yesterday after it bounced and I'm already up several hundred dollars. It feels nice to see some green after months of SHIB bleeding me dry. I don't expect it to surge yet but I'm glad it isn't continuing to drop.

    You even slipped Disabled in there. This hero really checks all of the boxes(tm)! I think we should make them President of the United States.

    Old (2021)

    SPOILER ALERT Just saw this. I thought it was pretty damn good. Reminded me of the show Lost quite a bit. People stranded with no idea what's happening is an interesting premise. I liked that the villains turned out to be Big Pharma, pretty ballsy in current year. Could it have been better...

    That sounds pretty convoluted. Did anyone even beat Ibushi? He's also got an unavenged win over Kenny Omega. Probably the #1 NJPW signing AEW should try to get as he could be an instant title picture guy. Looking forward to Okada showing up in AEW as a guest, which the grapevine says is...

    Well, I guess I sold at the right time. Might want to wait a while to get back in at this rate. What a huge disappointment everything is across the board. I liked when crypto moved in defiance of the stock market, not with it.

    I'm not up to date on NJPW, but by "new belt" are you guys referring to this one: And by "old belt" you mean this one: ? Cause if so, yeah, the old belt looks 10x better. I assumed they'd bring it back by now. Though the "new" one at least is a callback to their world title from like...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I feel bad for SHIB people who are continuing to "buy the dip" over and over while it just loses more and more value. Normally, in something like Bitcoin, you could shrug this off because you know it'll rebound bigly. However, with the way SHIB has been moving, I'm really getting the impression...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Took my 62% loss and sold SHIB, now watch it soar. As for that money, I'm torn on ETH and SOL since both are sufficiently dipped right now to buy. MATIC is too high. BTC is...probably fine as well. I'll probably go ETH like I said. Only problem is that I think we're entering a down-cycle in...

    New Monitor - what's good now?

    I'll probably go for an LG monitor whenever I get a gaming desktop. Mostly stick to laptops nowadays. LG TVs are so ridiculously good compared to their competition. That Ultragear monitor looks sweet, probably worth it even at $400. This particular monitor really is just for video calls and EQ...

    New Monitor - what's good now?

    Best Buy is having a monitor sale that ends tonight? That sucks, I planned on going there tomorrow for a look, can't tonight. Thanks for the various input, I'm gonna see what Best Buy has. The best screen I've ever had was on my Lenovo Yoga laptop in 2013 or so. I don't know if it was an OLED...

    New Monitor - what's good now?

    I need a new monitor since one of mine got knocked over by pets fighting, any suggestions as of January 2022? Preferably something sold by Best Buy since I have a bunch of store credit there. Looking to spend $80-200, so a fairly large range. The desktop that the monitor is for isn't a...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I should probably check on my character, make sure they aren't on a server that went kaput or something. I can't remember the name of it unfortunately. @Chanur What big graphics update? Got any info about this? Also, it's good to hear Treebeard server is doing well. What about the faster...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The Bitcoin halving of 2024 should be followed by another large surge, just like every other halving. 2025 should be a big year for people who held over time. Well, I fucked up with SHIB myself and I'm down something like two-thirds from where I was in October. I didn't even buy it at the top...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah, you have the right idea there at the end. It's better to do a 4x buy on a week where things are dipped than it is to do a 1x buy on 4 different weeks and only one of them is dipped. Store up your spare USD and make the move when the streets are running with blood like they are now. It's...

    You can plug it into the internet and watch porn with it, yes. Obviously Sony doesn't have any PSVR-intended porn games for PS4. But it can view porn. I gave it a whirl once out of curiosity and while it was interesting, you were still acutely aware that you were wearing a stuffy headset...

    Each parcel (1 acre) costs approximately $1 BILLION. And the only one unavailable/purchased is parcel #1, probably by whoever came up with this idiotic premise. Looks like a probable scam, and even if it isn't... what a stupid idea.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah. It basically needs to be like in Black Mirror, where it's connected right to your brain synapses so you feel like you're someone else, somewhere else, while your actual body isn't moving at all. Which is its own brand of scary and not something I'm interested in either, but VR is never...

    All the Doom talk in here has made me want to finally get to Doom 64. I got the PS4 HD version as a preorder bonus with Doom Eternal. Have always heard great things about Doom 64 and I think it's the only Doom I haven't played at this point. I played all the Wolfensteins too. I guess I'll throw...

    What about it wouldn't get made today? That gets me interested. I have Darkness and Darkness 2 on PS3, got both at a yard sale for like $3 each. Most of my remaining PS3/XBox/PS2 games were from that same one yard sale. Not sure if I consider them backlog so much as "a bunch of cool stuff I got...

    The First Purge (2018)

    Surprised there's no thread on these boards for The Forever Purge which just came out a few months ago. Just watched it. While there was still some, they rolled back quite a bit on the "white people are evil" and anti-republican stuff in this one, probably because The First Purge got killed in...

    Miyagi-do vs Cobra Kai

    Yeah. It's been good throughout. That was the end of S2 and probably the show's action peak though. "Actions have consequences" is a consistent theme.

    Cobra Kai

    Just finished the season myself. I also didn't know what to think during the men's final, it was really good. The season wasn't as good as previous seasons, but I have to say the last two episodes redeemed it quite a bit. Interested to see what happens next with Miguel and his (presumably)...

    It's less "pro wrestling" now and more "grounded TV drama" for sure.

    Cobra Kai

    Watched the first two new episodes of S4. Feels like it was written by different writers than the rest, much more serious and...a little bit boring? I like how they positioned Robby as the new unbeatable badass villain of the series, but in the new season they've had Tori get the upper hand on...

    Cobra Kai

    I was just thinking that. I re-upped Netflix just to watch S4 of this show. Decided to rewatch the second half of S3 first because I couldn't remember too much of what happened in that season once Miguel started walking again. I was probably "watching while distracted" or something, playing a...

    The Mandela Effect

    More or less my experience, except I've also got the sidebar of my mom being friends with his niece. They worked at the same school in the northeast, and they were really upset about what happened to him when I was a kid. I was always afraid of "tuberculosis" after that because it sounded scary...

    The Mandela Effect

    Pretty sure it's in the millions. People were talking about it in the early 2000's before it even had a name, specifically in "didn't Mandela die in the late 80's?" discussions. Always thought it was weird that I got it so wrong when I spend the late 90's and early 2000's studying geography and...

    Emulation - Retroarch?

    Doing Citra emulation on phone since Square refuses to release the phone version of DQ7 outside of Japan for some reason. Obviously this kind of pales in comparison to the actual phone versions of the previous 6 games, since the game image only takes up two-thirds of the screen (and really it's...

    Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut

    Yeah, I'll put it on the list. I wanted to play it for a long time anyway and then it just sorta fell off the radar. Among the greatest RPGs Square ever made are Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, and Final Fantasy IX. All of them look like total ass now, and if I need to play FFIX I'm 100% reaching...

    Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut

    Do you ever find out what happened to the mirror in the bathroom? I immediately wanted to know how it got smashed, then when checking his email there was one from the landlord? asking how exactly it got smashed. Clever way for them to get around having to animate Adam in the mirror (something...

    The Mandela Effect

    The fact that there's a new Shazam movie now just makes it even more confusing. This is one I don't remember myself. I vaguely remember Kazaam, which I think had Shaq in it. Curious George had a tail, can confirm.

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    Game was too short for me to give it high marks (four chapters, ehh) and I could never match with other players for anything except stage 1 and sometimes stage 2 of the first chapter (something I'm told is a bug). So I had to go through most of the game with no help, aside from replaying chapter...

    Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut

    It's a pretty old game, so I might have a tough time with the visuals. I'm assuming the best / only way to play it is still on PC? Maybe it's got graphics mods by now. Actually shocked that it never got a console remaster. I thought that would happen for sure after HR's success, but instead we...

    The Mandela Effect

    I was watching those V/H/S movies a while back, which are basically groups of found-footage short stories. One of them, can't remember which but I think it was the otherwise-terrible third one Viral, had a story vaguely similar to what @Gravel is talking about. A guy created a dimensional portal...
