    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    That's another good point, a weight system going off of that or howlongtobeat.com would make a lot of sense and would add incentive to get to longer games. I didn't even list RPGs like Xenoblade X and Monster Hunter once I realized they'd kill my chances of winning time-wise.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    One of the reasons I'm not weeping over my current numbers is because of taxes. With only modest gains, I might not even have to pay any extra taxes this year compared to if I were sitting on a 3x or higher return. That said, once taxes are filed, it'd be great if everything mooned immediately

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Similar situation here across the board, and I'm up about 20% for the year despite my crypto portolio being in the absolute toilet. At its best (so like, two months ago) I was up almost 3x, and it's really Shiba that wrecked me. The whole thing was an experiment more than anything else and...

    Yeah I'd like to see more participation too. Joining halfway through, I didn't think I had any chance of winning. Then I kicked it into overdrive and won, and the closest competition also joined late and still excelled. Very surprising that we were able to surge ahead but it was because there...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    No Navras in this one, unless it plays later in the end credits (I turned them off after the first few seconds of RATM, nice callback to M1's ending I guess) Italian women are so fucking hot. I should just move there instead of my planned move to Florida. Will Smith, the star of "Wild Wild...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    I caught this. Weird little subliminal? message. It looks like you're just fishing for reactions, but if you're a legitimate poster, I respect your balls. I personally really liked SW Episode III so when I hear people hating the prequel trilogy I wonder if they mean "1 and 2", or if 1 and 2...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Question for anyone familiar with Ghee. I've got a sealed jar of it here and the base of the jar has this brown discoloration. Is that normal or has it gone bad? It's been in the cabinet for a while and is a couple months past the sell-by date. Given that it's sealed and not far off from the...

    Busy for the next eight days between working and moving into a new place, but after that I'm taking some time off to rest up. Already planning what backlogged games to take on next.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Just be sure you choose PS5 in "Select Game Version" on the home screen before you play it. Sometimes I think it resets for some reason. Before I realized this, I accidentally played a couple games in their PS4 forms rather than their PS5 upgrades, because I thought it just automatically...

    Or in my case, the total and complete lack of 16 year old puss I crushed.

    For anyone interested, I got: -Elden Ring -Far Cry: Blood Dragon -Actraiser Renaissance -Terminator Resistance Enhanced Edition (It's 50% off right now, so I sold my physical copy at full price for raw profit) -Elder Scrolls Online (base game) -Spent my last few bucks on something called...

    I wish I could "double like" a post. This whole thing was an awesome idea. Hoping once the holidays are over we get even more participation in the next one.

    @Regime is storing up his energy for the second contest. Gotta say I respect that nobody has rolled in here posting a bunch of 10 minute long fighting games. Everything everyone has posted has been at least a couple hours long and a lot of them have been real doozies. Though if someone does do...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Found this movie to be chock full of Marxist propaganda and propping-up of BLM, or as I call it, Disney Presents BLM(tm) Sponsored By Amazon. It's an interesting movie to study though because it sort of proves a lot of what people say on here about Hollywood. The DVD menu has a web of imagery...

    Finished Resident Evil Zero. That took me literal years to get to, was at the top of my backlog for most of that time and I wouldn't have gotten to it any time soon if not for the board motivation. Also unlocked this hot-ass outfit. Turns out you only need to beat the game once for it. This...

    Sports Entertainment

    Lot of fuss about Vince's tone-deaf comments about firing people. It got me thinking about how Tony Khan seems to be the polar opposite and super anti firing people. At this point he really needs to downsize, if not to save money, to give the people he has more damn TV time. So many great...

    Resident Evil Remastered

    @Rude why WTF? It's a sweet outfit dammit! Just beat the Train chapter. Gotta say the door animations in this game really get in the way and slow it down. Other than that I'm glad to be in the next area. Seems to be more open now. The game is moody AF too.

    I had to figure out where I left off with RE Zero back in the day. I just got lost over and over until I couldn't be arsed to continue. Managed to figure out what I was missing and find out where it was. Turns out the thing that had me stumped was that I had to look out this window. What window...

    I figured it was something like that. I'll have to settle for the Sportswear outfit.

    Resident Evil Remastered

    Resumed my playthrough of RE Zero Remastered after a couple years. Left off at the end of the train chapter, so like maybe a 5th of the way? Been figuring out what I had to do next, but luckily it isn't too hard to figure out. Got a question though. Was watching a Youtube video to figure out...

    Continuing to HODL, I think my investment has disappeared into its own belly button like Stimpy did that one time.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    That's how I felt about Assassin's Creed Unity. I enjoyed the hell out of the game (most interesting AC since AC2, for me) and never ran into any substantial glitches on PS4. Maybe a few slightly-annoying visual issues that added up to maybe a minute or two of being annoyed over a 15 hour game...

    Finished Anodyne. This was pretty good, especially for an indy game made by a very small team. It has the gameplay of Zelda 1 and the world/dungeon design of Link's Awakening. It's been in the backlog for ages and I'm glad to finally get to it. Was good to actually enjoy a game. However I'm not...

    Yeah that's what Hades is like. You play it over and over to get the full experience. At least it gets easier and easier, I assume. I beat the game 3 times and that was good enough for me.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Surprised we haven't gotten any news whatsoever on FF7R-2 this year. Or FF16. Or FF10-3. Yeah, FF10-3 was strongly rumored for a while, and the creators of 10 even said they wanted to do it. Or FF9 Remake (with WOFF graphics). Or Chrono Cross Remastered. I mean 2022 better bring us some...

    I'm not too much of a cheevo-whore...unless I REALLY like the game. Like Souls and Bioshock for example I've got plats across the serieses. I'll probably do the same with Code Vein because it's close enough. I'll say this too, the rare times I DO go for a plat and don't quite get it, it bothers...

    I'm down. I'm no hardcore achievement hunter, but I do have a massive backlog thanks to how much I bought in 2021. I was planning on clearing it out once I had more free time but I lacked motivation until I got into the thread. Here's what I cleared out from what I got at the beginning of the...

    Definitely knock off Bloodstained. It drives me nuts when I get to the final boss of a game and leave it unfinished. Did that with Metroid Dread for weeks. I left off on the final "battle" of Five Nights at Freddy's 5 and I'm tempted to take a run at it this week. All I have left is the final...

    Yeah, I've pretty much taken a break today (and worked hard on RL things all day instead). I actually advise against AC Valhalla. It's a massive time-sponge and never gets particularly interesting. That's a problem the recent "open world" ACs have had. AC Origins (the Egypt one) was much longer...

    I dunno, I think he'd be able to have a 3-way with Tifa and Aerith more easily. Have you seen how they look at each other in this remake? Aerith is super gay for Tifa and they have more chemistry than either of them does with Cloud. He could probably wiggle into the middle of it though. Jessie...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeh, my droughts have generally been after a girl fucked me up. After things ended with the first GF, I went back to school and didn't even go on a date for over a year because I was pining for the relationship. What cured me: Saw her at a wedding and she was super-rude to me, I immediately lost...
