    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    I'm still playing on CR1 as Catti. Did the first 3 worlds with Drizzt and then the 4th and 5th with Catti. I tried the "farm two chests at the beginning of level 1 on C6" strat but it didn't let me keep any loot after exiting out, just the gold/ores. 5th world has been rough, not looking forward...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    It isn't, no. For someone in your situation I don't recommend this at all. Not sure why they felt the need to make PS5's second major exclusive, which PS5 owners have waited months for, so inaccessible to the average player. Between this and Demon's Souls it's like Sony thinks that the only PS5...

    Metroid Dread

    Since MP Trilogy doesn't seem to be getting a Switch release and the Wii version is wildly overpriced, I started looking into Gamecube copies of MP1 and 2 (I'm not that into 3). And man, the Gamecube versions are wildly overpriced now too. It's absolutely nuts. Plus you may or may not need a...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    I think the difficulty jump from the first four worlds to World 5 indicates missing content. Reminds me of things like Fable and Secret of Mana where gear/enemy levels just take a quantum leap forward halfway through the game, as if the middle third of the game is missing. Does the difficulty...

    God of War (2018)

    That's how I feel about Resident Evil Zero. What a total slog that game is. Between the obscure puzzles (aka things that give you no clue what to do with them), the tank controls, and the inventory system being atrocious, I always give up on it quickly whenever I take another stab at it. God of...

    Metroid Dread

    This part of Metroid Prime's title screen music is one of the most amazing and memorable tracks I've ever heard in a game. I actually remember where I was when I first heard it. I was about to go in for a 13 hour work shift at a warehouse and had like one hour to play before I headed out, I was...

    HDTVs

    In my experience they're both really good, but OLED is better. Thing is, if you've never had an OLED, you probably won't notice that the QLED is lacking in some areas, though. I had a Sony for a while and I thought that was pretty awesome until I got an OLED that made it suddenly look dated...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    While I enjoyed World 1, I'm on World 5 now (out of 7, it looks like) and I've got two major issues: A) What you see in World 1 is basically THE ENTIRE GAME. It's just room after room fighting the same goblins/ogres/trolls and collecting the same drops. The only difference from level to level...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    I'm maining Drizzt now in the early worlds. Should I just switch to the archer so she can start accumulating equipment? I'm doing fine with Drizzt but I've also read that the archer is best for beating the game and that meleers have a very hard time later on. If I use Drizzt until I'm forced not...

    Metroid Dread

    Other M's devs have had nothing to do with further Metroid games, IIRC. This one shares devs with Samus Returns, the remake of Metroid 2 from a few years ago. Looks like it'll play largely the same, too. Which is unfortunate for me, because I didn't really like SR. However this looks a lot more...

    Nintendo Switch Release Date: October 8th Surprised there wasn't a thread for this already. First 2D Metroid sequel in 19 years. Didn't think I'd ever see a Metroid 5 but here we are. Samus is sent to a planet called ZDR to stop a resurgence of X Parasites, thought to be extinct, after a team...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    I'm just solo-playing and beat world 1-1 easily with the archer. Then I switched to Drizzt and did world 1-1 again and beat it even more easily with him. I liked playing as him so much that I stuck with him for 1-2 and 1-3. I'm gonna keep playing as him unless the game forces me to go back to...

    I might put my BTC towards this, those rates aren't bad at all. I'm going to try to set up the liquidity in Uniswap that was being discussed earlier using ETH, otherwise I'd add that to this too.

    Yeah, maybe I should have thrown all my extra money into something like this instead of into crypto with its volatility and unreliability. Stable coins sounds like a good idea here though. I might start investing into this once I'm done reaching my crypto-buying goals.

    Signed up for a BlockFi account since crypto stored there generates interest. They're having a limited-time offer where they give you "up to $250 of Bitcoin as a sign-on bonus if you fund your account with at least $100". That's what the emails and ads say, verbatim. Even after signing up, it's...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    I don't mean politics in games, I mean overall real-world events have killed my enthusiasm for things like hobbies in 2021. A bit of depression dashed with crippling anxiety has been the norm lately, and most of the games I've started in 2021 I didn't enjoy and gave up on quickly (even the...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    I love the hell out of this game but I've avoided playing beyond the first chapter for a while now because I don't want to ruin it for myself. Hard to explain, but I haven't enjoyed most of the things I've played in 2021 due to my own mental probs (read: due to politics). I really want this to...

    I think a friend of mine is wading into the shitcoin pool. He texted me that he's all over buying something called "Rocket Bunny" and that it was the hot thing that was going to make bank. I looked it up and it's at like 0.00000065 cents. I see the appeal, but...animal coins. Joke will be on...

    I'm still considering setting up a mining rig, but I'm waiting until Nov or so. It'll take me about that long to get the parts to set it up, and as of right now it'd be impractical heat-wise anyway. During the cold part of the year I can use the rig as a space heater to knock off heating bills...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Played it for 40 minutes, finished the first level, had to take a break because nausea. Not sure what caused the nausea, but it set in when I found myself just collecting endless shit off the ground between fights. I sniped the level boss down without ever engaging it or getting attacked back...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    I eventually tapped out on this one. People who really dedicate themselves to it are gonna get a lot out of it, and the look of the world is second to none. As somebody with other shit to do, 12 hours of this where I didn't make it out of the first area was enough for me. Souls games can get...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Yeah, I played through Assassin's Creed Unity at a time when everyone and their mother was panning the game as a glitch-filled disaster, and I think I maybe encountered two glitches in the entire 20 hours or so I was playing it. Had a great time with it, ranked it right up there with AC2 and AC4.

    Anyone actually playing as the d0rf in this mess? I can't believe I'm gonna play this instead of getting back to Resident Evil 8. Well, it is what it ees, as Macho Man used to say

    Basically. I've seen some pretty quack-ish numbers from those prediction sites. One had VET reaching .40 by 2027 or something after steadily going up by like 3 cents a year from the .22 it was at the time. Now it's .08, but I also think .40 by 2027 is insanely pessimistic (or more accurately...

    So, archer is the chosen one then? I was going to go with Drizzt. That's alright, archer was probably my second choice.

    I'm still going to give this a whirl. I'm sure I'll ragret it. There are so many better things I could be playing. But I really like the look of this game visually, and I have a tendency of finding the good in unpopular things. If I tap out after one day, then so it goes. I'll pop in with...

    My next big VET buy went through at 7.8 cents. Wish I'd caught it at that 6 cent drop, but it's been bouncing off resistance ever since and trending upward. I was aiming for 8 cents and didn't even think that'd happen. I'm pretty happy with this number overall.

    Friend of mine who I got into the NBA years ago just asked me minutes ago if I was watching the playoffs. I said "LeBron doxxed a cop, I don't watch the NBA anymore" Standing on principle and dropping things we used to like has been getting easier and easier.

    It's really depressing that this one turned out bad, because I think we were all looking forward to it and giving it the benefit of the doubt. Such a waste of one of the greatest licenses ever.

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Ya, after reading this thread, my enthusiasm for the game has pretty much evaporated. It didn't arrive on time today anyway and now I won't be able to really play it for a few days, so that was also disappointing. At least playing it today would have let me contribute to the discussion. I won't...

    Anyone else think it's super weird that they're putting out two different games called Dark Alliance in such close proximity to each other (that are both remasters of old games, I think)?

    Control

    The part that did me in was the puzzle with the punch-cards. I know the boards give you clues and whatnot but I just couldn't be arsed at that point, and checked a walkthrough, and the guy doing the walkthrough also got stuck on that part and had to use trial-and-error. Before that was a...

    Jebus. I need to look into that myself. I've got plenty of ETH and Truebit connected to Uniswap already, sounds like I could be adding to it if I put it up for liquidity. In other news Vechain dropped to 5.9 cents for a very short time today before bouncing back to the 7.5+ area. I wish I'd set...

    That's what I figured. I feel the same way about both. I'd like to see VET do well but I'm not getting the impression that its buyers have a lot of faith in it compared to MATIC.

    Which one is VET? I've got the most confidence in VET and MATIC as far as the alts go. And sooner or later that spider will die too. Wow, now I'm depressed. Yeah, I've resigned myself to basically baghold for a while. One way to look at it is that at this point I paid about 20% of my money...
