    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Shiba Inu is trading on Binance as of today so it's spiking a bit. I might stick to Binance trading from now on. Uniswap is such barely-usable ass, at least for me. Tired of seeing things like this and having to come back later:

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Truebit had a run? I got excited for a sec but it's still in the 20's. I feel like it has been trending downward overall since the summer. Like I got in at .34 or so and for a while it was always well above that, now it never gets that high. Hopefully it someday takes off. I should probably get...

    Code Vein

    Am I right that you can't choose what to level up in this game? I can only do a generic level up with my souls when I go to a not-bonfire. No speccing? Half the fun of Souls for me is trying different builds, or figuring out what kind of character I want and gearing things in that direction. At...

    Salt and Sacrifice

    Salt and Sanctuary is more of a Souls game than a Metroidvania IMO. It was REALLY good and I managed to beat the entire game despite some rough boss fights. Protip, if you want to plat the game in the quickest time possible, do it on your first run because everything becomes like 4x harder in...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Couple questions -Is this alright to play on console? Like if I get it on Switch so I can carry it around and actually play it with some regularity, will the controls be frustrating compared to PC? -Is this gonna get a physical console release any time soon? Only seeing it digitally and F...

    Squid Game

    SNL was good during the heyday of Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, up through the mid-90's with Norm and Sandler / Farley / Rob Schneider (ith...the thapler!) I remember falling asleep to it in the late 80's and early 90's as a small kid, but I'd always stay up long enough for Weekend Update...

    Squid Game

    This all makes sense to me. Koreans and East Asians in general tend to be smart enough to stop short when a warning shot is fired. They don't have to deal with that many charging Michael Brown psychopaths.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    What's a hot thing to swing trade these days? Now that I'm getting active with this again I want to try some light swing-trading on something with consistent ups and downs while I wait for lulls in BTC/ETH to get into those.

    Metroid Dread

    Got both Oris on Switch, physical so they'll barely cost me anything. Already had HK on PS5 because it had a digital sale for $9 or something a while back. Ori should look really really good on the Switch OLED. Looking forward to that after I'm done with Dread (still need to fight the final boss).

    Sports Entertainment

    Man, everything they do to show up AEW seems to backfire. Obviously the overall ratings for the 8-10:30 show were higher than the 10-11 show. However the head-to-head numbers are the only thing that matters in the context of this battle. Don't really care what Rampage did in its unopposed half...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Same here. I've got zero Ethereum or Bitcoin so watching them run is giving me some feelings of bein' left out. Sold MATIC at 1.50. It hit 1.60 both before and after I did so I missed both of those spikes, which would have been roughly $600-800 more in profit if I'd gotten a bullseye. It...

    Aliens: Fireteam

    Finished the game. Can confirm there's some issue with matchmaking where it puts almost everybody into the first couple missions. Kind of messed-up, hopefully it eventually gets fixed because the later chapters are where the game is actually great.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah, I can confirm that if you already bought an OLED and want to trade in your old Switch after copying everything over, just bring them to a Gamestop and you can do a return / trade-in to get most of your money back. You do have to bring the OLED and the Switch with you so they can scan them...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I'm up to almost $12000 on an initial investment of roughly $4500. Yeah I'm not throwing around a hundred thousand like the big boys here but that's what I'm working on. MATIC is way up for me so I'm trying to figure out whether to take the profits ($800) or hope for more before the next dip...

    Aliens: Fireteam

    Basically finished with this, on the 2nd-to-last mission. It's better than I expected, and I had fun. It benefits a lot from the low expectations though. If I'd gone into this thinking it was incredible, right now I'd be feeling underwhelmed. It's a basic 3rd-person shooter with xenomorphs...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Same reason I still need to play Warcraft 3, Planescape Torment, Dragon Quest 8, Morrowind, etc. Some games were huge trendsetters in their time that I missed out on, and are still good games today.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    They know me over there (the manager used to work for me), I'm guessing they'll do a return switcheroo for me if necessary to retroactively apply it. For $260 I think I'll take it, looks like a lot of the Ebay listings are $300 but you also have to deal with shipping / possible fraud etc. If it...

    Best phone games?

    Think I've mentioned it on here before, but the Dragon Quest phone ports are reaaaally good. Specifically DQ1-6. I got through 1-5, midway through 6. Played the original forms of all of these games, and these phone remakes hold up. They're so compulsively playable. Same goes for the new Final...

    It took some looking around, but I found one at a place 45-60 minutes away. Had to race there from another place once I found out, and was able to grab their last one.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I've got an OG launch-edition Switch that can be hacked. Am I better off ebaying it or trading it in at a Gamestop? Sounds like GS has jacked up their buying offers. Might be quicker to just do that, unless I can get like $400 on Ebay or something. I need to take some time to look through the...

    Metroid Dread

    Agreed. Dread gives away all of the major plot points in two particular cutscenes (when you meet the scientist guy, and when you arrive at the final boss). Rather than having the story slowly unravel as you go, they just dump exposition at those two points. It's a bit like how the teleporters...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Seriously. I grew up never having enough money to play 80-90% of the games I wanted to play. I STILL have never played Breath of Fire 2 or Dragon Quest 8. Now I can buy whatever I want and don't have time to get through 80-90% of it. I play maybe 1 hour a day on most days and that means an RPG...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Going to go out on an OLED-finding expedition today and see if I can grab one anywhere. I have a feeling that stores around metro areas will probably be totally sold out while stores out in the burbs will have stock. Unless those stores get less supply, IDK how Walmart/Target/Gamestop do things...

    Far Cry 6

    I've only played the first hour or so of this because I've got such a full game slate right now. Curious about the politics of the game though, especially if it's based on Cuba. In real Cuba, if I'm not mistaken, we have a situation where the government is communist and the people are sick of...

    Suicide Squad... the next "Arkham" game

    Jesus. I should just stick to Japanese games nowadays because they actually value feminine-looking female characters. Case in point, Genshin Impact Aloy versus Horizon 2 Aloy. Been playing Code Vein and it's the same deal there, the females are feminine as fuck. Anyway I got super-excited when...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I remember Horizons, it looked like the greatest thing ever for a while there in 2000, and yeah you could play as a dragon. WTF happened to that game? I was like 95% sure that it was going to slay EQ and be the biggest MMORPG for decades to come, then...nothing. WoW basically occupied the spot I...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Got Hades, can't wait to start plowing that. I still need to play Diablo 2 but I guess I'll wait until it's more stable and my slate isn't as overloaded as it is now. I 'member in 2000 or so, people were calling Diablo 2 the "Everquest killer" for a little while. I think there were a few...

    The Katie Katro Thread

    I had some issues penetrating the 39 year old and I thought it was just because she was tight (having only had boyfriends for like 3-4 combined years at age 39 will do that). Maybe there was a lubrication issue, or maybe I just didn't get her excited enough. I don't know. It took like a half...

    The Katie Katro Thread

    Where's the "Truth" option on this thread? Cause I'm guessing mid-40's is everything you say it is. Oldest woman I've ever dated was 39 and she was already a walking mass of complexes. Pretty nice 'bod though, took care of herself. Had spent 30's not dating and "focusing on career" and all of...

    Anyone know what the deal is with how old WWF/E shows, up until 2020 anyway, used to have these constant full-screen flashes? WCW had them too but only in shows from 2000 I think. No other company (ECW, TNA, AEW) has them. I don't think they're from camera flashes, they're more like full-arena...

    Code Vein

    Finally got into this. Wow, this is totally a Souls game, from the world design to the combat to the button mapping...mostly. I had to move the attacks to R1/R2. You can really see the difference between a Soulsborne game made by From and one made by a different dev, but I think these devs got...

    Metroid Dread

    Any insights on the final boss? Tried it a bunch this evening, got murdered. I wish I could re-configure the dash/blink ability to a shoulder button instead of A, so awkward to use.

    What are you playing?

    Metroid Dread. Struggling with the final boss. After that: Code Vein, Bloodstained ROTN, Aliens Fireteam, Hades, Far Cry 6. Not sure what order, or if I'll bounce between them. Also need to finish up with Dragon Quest 6 phone remake, about 75% done. After that, Pokemon Gen 4 remake, Nioh1+2...

    Dark Souls

    Is this from Demons, Dark, or Dark 3? I'm always itching for more 6th Archstone potential content. I wonder why it is that cut content from games intrigues me so much more than what actually made it into the game. Secret boss that's hard to find? Cool, but what I'm really into is this other...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Never played either. This or Hades?? ::looks at recent posts:: Uhh Well, Blizzard definitely has problems in 2021. Suffice to say I was gonna get Hades, but now I'm wondering if I'd have a better time with D2.

    Metroid Dread

    I'd just get it if you're a Metroid fan. What I do is sell games that I'm done with, or won't play again for a long time. So if I buy something like this new, it's with the knowledge that I'll get back 90% of what I spent on it in a few weeks. It could have an MSRP of $120 and it wouldn't...

    Metroid Dread

    I bet Dread's sales will be half of what they should have been, in part because of Kotaku and PC Gamer doing this shit. Video is ReviewTechUSA, not Kotaku
