Oh yeah, I forgot about Exdeath. He's a pretty straightforward villain throughout the game. The fight with Exdeath at the end of "disc 2" (aka the second of the three worlds) was one of the best fights I've ever had in an RPG. He uses all kinds of buffs/debuffs in that fight and it turned into...

Oh man, that's my hope too. Where do we think they're gonna end things in Part 2? I've seen people say "the end of disc 1" which I think is super optimistic and not likely at all. More likely it'll end either at Nibelheim or Temple of Ancients. However at this point I think we'll be lucky just...

How can I check to see if my TV has HDMI 2.1 capability? I've got an LG OLED C6 for gaming and an LG OLED BX for living room TV, and I'm hoping they've both got HDMI 2.1.

Can you reply to it or link it? Missed it and don't want to scroll back through however many pages it is. I've always found the Zapruder film particularly interesting. It's one of the greatest examples I can think of where something we see with our eyes is A and yet we're told it's B, and...

I could see a Glenn maneuver happening with Aerith and that would actually be interesting if they did it. Also wouldn't mind seeing Cloud die. Easily my least-favorite of the four main characters in the first game. It'd free up Aerith and Tifa to bang, since they had a lot more chemistry...

Is Judgment any good? I'm a Yakuza fan for sure and have played all the others, but I heard Judgment was kind of a POS. ...not sure where I heard that, or how credible it is, though. Also, Control came up in this thread lately...anyone know if it's gotten a PS5 patch yet? And if so, how does it...

Yeah, they've basically gone "nothing matters anymore lol" with the Whispers bullshit. They're Kingdom Hearts-ing FFVII.

Oh, I get it. Is +20 to stats really a big deal in that era? Could always modify my idea to just leave the PoP AAs the same, like the Luclin AAs, rather than increasing stat caps. I mainly care about the later ranks and how completely useless they are. Yeah, it feels like this year they're...

? The 20 ranks of IE that I propose adding heroics to are in EOK, a level 105 expansion.

Yeah, I use the default UI too. The only bad thing about it is getting mocked for using the default UI every time I post a screenshot anywhere. I'd really like a fancier target ring, though, maybe one that rotates (if that exists)

Innate Eminence post got moved for some reason, here's the new one. Let's get it fixed. Heroics for all! Innate Eminence | EverQuest Forums

That's EQ Baby probably has the most FOH presence. That would be the most high-activity guild on there I think. They might raid a lot more than 1-2x a week but I think it's okay to just raid when you can. Can't speak for any other guilds cause that's the only one I played with on Aradune before...

Looks like someone already posted about this in the Veteran's Lounge so I necro'd the thread. EDIT: They moved my post to its own thread for some reason, so now there are two threads with the same name in Veteran's Lounge. Well, here's mine...

That's the good thing about all of this downturn, it's a primo time to buy. Unfortunately I already spent all of my money buying things two months ago, 90% of which have lower values now (BTC, which I got at 32k, and MANA are single-handedly offsetting all of my losses). I wish I were buying in...

Yep. We still have AAs to increase your base stats (Innate Eminence) even though everyone's base stats have been capped since like 20 expansions ago. If those AAs increased your stat cap, or better yet added Heroic stats past a certain level, they'd be GREAT. But nope, they just add to a stat...

On the flipside, they could have also planned ahead and started low. Bring down player DPS at level 50 by like...80%, then have raid bosses like Vox and Nagafen capping out at 6000 HP, and slowly increased their stats over time. By starting right at the cap they weren't leaving much room for...

This one, honestly, sounds like China to me. Focusing on US military ships? China's naval development is currently geared entirely towards defeating the U.S. navy. They're super into spying. Sounds to me like they've developed some new tech and were testing it to see if those ships could...

They've gotta remove the filibuster so they can add new states which means new senators which means Kamala can become president without an unfillable VP vacancy ::tap head gif::

That's right, I've got SPCE. People shorting it were making the right move, I certainly didn't. Didn't even look at my numbers today, first day ever where I actively, intentionally avoided it. At this point it just pisses me off that I didn't get into this during the past four years instead.

"Dotcom bust all over" Yep, after years of gains, as soon as Rajaah gets into stocks and cryptos, everything just starts imploding.

That sounds interesting. They could do other tricks too like VS's lifetaps (he had less than 32k HP though, but maybe it was a trial run). Vulak having an AOE lifetap probably figures in to the initial Velious plans when the cap was 32k HP, i.e. give the top boss an AOE lifetap so it essentially...

Yeah, my SpaceX is worth half of what it was a month ago. And Torchlight has dropped by about two-thirds in the same time. Things I thought were pretty safe bets to hold onto, and they've just tanked towards the floor instead. Pretty soon they'll go through the floor and drill a hole in the...

I've noticed lately that I absolutely have a thing for Middle-Eastern women. I've always like Mediterraneans so this isn't a big surprise. However, by that I mean chix from Spain, France, Italy, Greece. However more and more I've been seeing women from Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria who are...

If I'm remembering right, early EQ raids also topped out at around 20-24 people because lag/LDs would start setting in if more than that were fighting at a time. Not sure when that got fixed, probably before Kunark. I remember going on a couple of Nagafen raids in 1999 or so where there were...

Re-read what I said because it's like the opposite of what you said I said, I don't take out girls that have a second date already planned that night. It was sorta my whole point that if you're in a situation like that it's much better to be the last guy she sees than the first. Being the first...

Basically don't be greedy, have reasonable goals. Sounds good to me. Sort of like knowing how many swings to go for on a boss in Dark Souls. Good players will do their 1-2 swings when they have an opening, then back off. N00bs who are used to playing other non-Souls things will stay in and try...

I've got four (modern) laptops laying around and was considering setting them all up in their own room for more or less 24/7 Ethereum mining. How feasible is it to do this with laptops vs. desktops, even if the laptops are recent/powerful? Can I expect reasonable returns? I'm hoping to pull in...

Switch has been a solid replacement for the 3DS IMO. It's useful for playing on the go and has saved me on a few trips. Being able to hook it up and play it on the TV at will is great. It's essentially a Wii U with way more games where you can un-tether the Gamepad and go anywhere with it, plus...

I don't get it. Isn't it better to be the second guy? Unless of course the other guy hit it. I've been in a few situations* where I was the second guy a girl went out with on a given night and it always went well for me being the last one. Like I'd rather be the one with her while it's getting...

They're alright, my crazy redheaded ex has them. After a while I really started to miss outtie nipples. Edit: Mia De Sousa in the Lisbon section looks like my Puerto Rican ex, just blonde instead of dark hair. I miss that girl, so I'd spend a day with her just on account of that. I love how...

Naw. It's got normal tablet proportions, not the proportions of my dong. On one hand I kinda wish I'd held onto GME longer because I could have recouped most of my losses there at this point. On the other hand...once it was clearly doomed, I just didn't want the stress of having it around...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Consolidating and getting rid of some SPACs sounds great right now. Going to start looking long-term and having my short-term stripper-playing be primarily in the realm of cryptos. BTWN over BTNB? I've got a substantial BTNB investment, my own largest SPAC. Most of it...

Jeeeeesus. I haven't looked into them, nope. The platforms I use for trading seem very limited compared to what the pros use. I like Robinhood for the slick UI, for example.

Thanks for the input, definitely going to hold onto it now. I'm new enough at this that nobody should be emulating anything I say or do on this subject. It's also tough to keep track of so many of these, and I couldn't remember why I bought into PSTH to begin with. If anything, it sounds like I...

Just finished the video. Welp, looks like I got this one 100% wrong! The escaped blanket is pretty conclusive proof. That's the Knight alright. Also the stuff I've read about it floating over Scandinavia for centuries wasn't right either, since it was off the coast of Africa. So basically this...

I hope we get a class action lawsuit in the Lordstown situation. It's easily my biggest financial loss since I started stonking (sold at 60% of what I bought in at, and I sold a day after the fraud news broke). I invested entirely on the basis of the information they were putting out there that...

Can you translate? PSTH is one that I was considering cutting loose. Have around $500 in it and was thinking about re-investing it elsewhere at this point. GSAH and SOAC are two I'm very interested in having more of / any of respectively. If people are holding the line on PSTH I can hold the...

I believe the 12,000 to 13,000 number comes from people in Scandinavia etc passing down stories about it over the centuries, since it's visible from the ground there and has been in the same orbit for a long time. That said, passing down stories is one thing but I don't know how people came up...

Gold Trump dollar. Well, gold-plated, not solid. I'll need to store this under the floorboards during the Great Purge of 2023, but until then it's fun to look at. Looks like I do indeed have a Walking Liberty silver dollar and half dollar already. The silver dollar has some edge discoloration...

Something I'm getting used to seeing: My stocks are red, red all the way down. LAZR is really fighting, though. It's the only one giving me consistent jumps into the green. Everything else is just...crashed from a month ago. Is this because of fears of inflation because of these stimulus bills...
