    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Is EQ2 worth playing in this day and age? I've been meaning to spend some time on it (like, maybe 3-4 months) since it launched. I subbed for one month during whatever the Kunark expansion was and rolled up an Iksar Monk, got really bored by level 12 and quit. However ever since I've been...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    This is why we need a Kunark-launch TLP, so those leveling zones can be a focal point for the population. Also a TSS-launch TLP for the same reason. Kunark has so many 1-50 zones that get ignored and TSS has so many 1-70 zones that get ignored by the majority of TLP players. At least Luclin...

    That makes a huge difference. I get how it'd be a lot less appealing for the owner but it makes for a better store. When I was 20ish I worked at a Subway and the owner did almost nothing. The manager was this completely overworked middle-aged woman who was always stressed out beyond belief and...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Yeah I've got a TON of nostalgia for Velious. I love snow levels in games, and it came out in winter 2000 when life was super-good. Had finished high school and was taking some time off, playing Final Fantasy IX / Chrono Cross / Suikoden 2 / Grandia / Legend of Dragoon / Vagrant Story / Wild...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Droga is best for the 60-65 grind? This is the first time I've heard that I think. IIRC Grieg's End, Deep, and PoP zones themselves (PoN, PoI) are generally what's used for grinding 60-65 depending on group makeup. Have AOE classes? Deep. Have headshotters? Grieg or PoN. Have a normal group? PoI...

    It's the same around here. I don't know how much of it is "business is booming" though, and suspect it has a fair amount to do with "everyone who works there is incredibly slow and incompetent". Every time I go to a MCD's, it's like hitting a ? block in Mario Kart because I never know what I'm...

    Lucid is fucked, huh? That's pretty disappointing. Weird though, things usually crash AFTER I buy them, not before. I was considering getting Lucid but now I'm not so sure.

    Lot of Switch games are $25 at Gamestop which is pretty shocking. I mean it's shocking to see Switch games go under $50, or at least it was before this year. Looks like these sale prices are gonna run through the 26th, so if they do another B2G1F sale (which they very likely will on the week of...

    Best phone games?

    Yeah, I played DQ1 and DQ2 during my brief time working night security to help out my short-staffed friend at a college. Had absolutely nothing to do all night, decided to give them a spin. DQ3 is significantly longer and even better. I've finished the 4/5/6 phone ports now and I liked all of...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    TBH that's when they're at their best, when you're playing the game with a chick. Or kids I'd assume. Probably gonna (finally) take a swing at Bloodstained this week...either that or my backlogged Resident Evils. Basically the stuff I wanted to play for Halloween and didn't have time.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    It's still $25 physical, actually came here to ask if it was worth it at that price. I'll probably grab it before Christmas. Been wanting to replay these (or at least ME1) for a long time. I never got to experience any of the DLCs and I rushed through ME1 on a rental which was doing it a disservice.

    Terminator: Resistance

    DLC #2 is out today so I finally went back to play DLC #1, where you play as the Franco Columbu terminator. It's only about an hour long but man is it an absolute fanservice-fest. Good times.

    Finished Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This was a total pain in the ass. I really liked the Lego games for the first six Episodes, and breezed through them in the past before shelving this one about halfway through it.

    For anyone interested, I keep a running tally of every game I beat, in chronological order, and I've been doing that since I started gaming in 1993. I'm up to 930 games beaten as of today. Here's the list: Edit: I notice I've got EQ and WoW expansions listed as separate games, not sure if I...

    Finished EDF 4.1 for the PS4. No trophy for beating the game, but you can see I've got the medal for beating the final level. This took FOREVER. I got it a few months ago because I like OG scary movies with alien invasions and giant insects and whatnot, and this game/series is an homage to...

    Yeah, this, totally concur. Just knocked off Terminator Resistance Enhanced Edition: For whatever reason it glitched and a couple of trophies didn't pop, luckily the last one worked fine. It's a super easy game to plat but I'll have to play it again to redo those few that didn't work if I...

    Jamie Hayter is the bee's knees. I know Thunder Rosa is gonna probably win the title next, and she's cool too, but I'd have Jamie Hayter be like the center of the division by 2023. I liked MJF referencing Punk constantly namedropping Britt Baker. Last week I was wondering if Adam Cole is...

    I think Lucid is safe because it's an emerging company in the electric car market which is bound to see good days ahead. It's no Tesla yet but I've been hearing more and more people using the word "Lucid" in conversations about electric cars, which is anecdotal evidence but it tells me that it's...

    I haven't been keeping up on Palantir lately but yeah it looks like the current dip has gone well below what it usually does. Normally the cycles have been pretty consistent. The chart looks like I bought in the last time it was low 20's (I didn't, but it sure looks like I did)

    I've been eyeing Lucid and Palantir for swing-trading for this very reason. Also both are fairly "safe" in the current environment. I might try it at some point, not sure.

    What happens with me is, I buy things, they immediately dive, I wait around a while sitting at -20%, after a month or two I get tired of sitting on a particular investment that's always red so as soon as it's back above where I bought in, I sell and make 2-5% or whatever. Then I miss out on the...

    Yeah, I was gonna say, even when the contest is over let's keep this thread going. I have a few old things on old systems that I still have to finish. Done with Code Vein, that's my second backlogged game for the challenge. 45 hours, level 135, pretty far along with the plat so I'm certain...

    Got Oni Bane and switched from Zweihander/Hammer to that for a while, the damage was outstanding. Got to Ornstein and Smough and lost a bunch of times so now I'm trying a halberd (Obliterator Axe Fortification) build that can dish out mega-damage. Requires skills from Queenslayer, Hephaestus...

    Code Vein

    Invading Executioner was the big roadblock early on, then I breezed through the rest up to Gilded Hunter which is now kicking my ass. Other than these two fights, I'm surprised at how easy the game has been. I know there's an Ornstein and Smough later on that'll probably bring some pain. Edit...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    It is awesome and it's the closest to D&D in feel. The dislike is probably just because people have done it so many times, as well as burning through everything there is to do on week one. The lack of quick-exp mobs for 45+ outside of OOT at launch is also probably an issue, nobody likes...

If I were in his...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Just realized, for some weird reason Ifrit is also elevated in status in FF7R. You fight Shiva fairly early and Ramuh is a DLC boss, while Ifrit is one of the optional superbosses in the postgame. Back in the day he was usually the first of the 3 you got, or at most was on the same level as...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Yeah, I've been calling for a TSS launch server for ages. There's a ridiculous amount of 1-70 leveling content in TSS that goes mostly unused because everyone is 70 already every time it comes around. Plus you have frogs, zerkers, bsts, etc available from the get-go.

    I haven't been able to get Oni Bane because I keep spending trade points on Atlas Chrome (probably a mistake because they'll probably be farmable later). Got the Fortified Queenslayer Hammer and I'm using that instead of Zweihander now. When fortified it has a 96% block which is close enough...

    There's still Amazon on the way as well. Despite lacking a real use case, SHIB might end next year as one of the more popular coins for actually buying things simply because of its wide acceptance.

    Ifrit is the second to last boss, right at the end though. The villain of the game is right after that. He's a good villain at least, up there with Kefka and Sephiroth. I just wish he had a better game to work with. Before 15 came out, I got super absorbed in the supplemental lore like the...

    FFXV was super unfinished. The final world map is like 15% of the original world map that they unveiled during development. The crazy thing is that a lot of the other 85% of the map exists if you boundary break, it just isn't populated with anything so it's barren terrain. Either way it's clear...

    I sorta felt this way about FF15's battle system, it just did not jive with me at all. First FF ever that bored me.
