    I didn't really talk about it, but I also was doing some other rpg roundups myself. I did talk about Tyranny. unfinished masterpiece. I got about 50% through Might and magic 9. 9 was 2002. much like ultima 9, it killed the series for the most part. released buggy, and unfinished. it...

    Yeah, still pushing through. I don't love it. Icewind dale 1 thoughts. its a grind. The return to 2e is fairly interesting at times. The leveling is interesting. as I noted, character exp tables are not even. which is just fascinating. as they shift. my party is at 230,000 exp now...

    I had Eth staked with Kraken. they stopped doing it. I didn't have enough Eth to stake it myself. I did some preliminary looks into it, and also considered talking to a few friends and pooling to have enough to solo stake. i have little i.t. skill. one of the guys I know I considered...

    80s Sword and Sandel / Sorcery / Scandal - 80s fantasy guilty pleasure goodness

    This thread was of course prompted by the discussion in Damsel. the barbarians was brought up, heres the actual trailer. While I had talked about Sorceress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorceress_(1982_film) Sorceress is on amazon prime. via freebee. so is deathstalker 2...

    80s Sword and Sandel / Sorcery / Scandal - 80s fantasy guilty pleasure goodness

    I think including the good ones with the bad is fine. as well as the general stretching from pure fantasy to Arthurian legend, etc. just maybe talk about it a bit, explain which kind of movie it is. sword of the Valiant was the 1984 version of Gawain and the Green knight. this on clearly...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    yeah. Dark souls. Sept, 2011 Skyrim. nov 2011. dragons dogma may 2012. Raw numbers skyrim crushed them both. but, both also just totally dominated the coversations. DD did actualy sell almost as many games as Dark souls, around 2m. I've actually tried to get into DD twice. neither time...

    here save some time, Disparu's review. or drinkers posted previously by caughtcross. disparu's here is longer, more thorough and pointing out some of the really stupid stuff Drinker skipped. like the 200ft fall, the strong diverse mom showing up with ayra stark knife wound out of nowhere.

    should note also, if you ARE going to keep crypto on exchanges, or hotwallets. the same idea applies. don't keep it all in one place. ah, the long standing traditional firm of Binance. founded in 2017. moved its holdings, and offices through 6 countries in 5 years. very trustworthy.

    but use acid free paper, and store it someplace fireproof. That is of course the reason for the seemingly crazy steel engraving. If you want to store your seed phrase, you want to store it in such a way it won't naturally deteriorate, or be destroyed by fire/water in an emergency. Many pens...

    I just watched Sorceress the other day on amazon prime. I was considering making a post in the "rate what you've seen recently" thread. 1982 exploitation. jack hill direction. A cormin movie. Lots of tits. A LOT of tits. Absolutely good bad. Terrible acting. Terrible fight chorography...

    Another bizarre 2e thing from icewind dale. A turn is 10minutes, a round is 1 minute. A turn here is primary an out of combat concept. a torch lasts 1 turn, a lantern needs refueling. a 10min turn to search for traps, etc. also, every combat is considered to take "one turn", regardless...

    This one is pretty spot on. makes some really solid points. I don't remember if I watched patricians starfield review, but his the outer worlds one, I was only 50/50 on board with. his fallout76 one wasn't onboard with at all. his review focused ENTIRELY on the storyline of fallout 76...

    yes, I did leave out, she lets the dragon kill her father, when he comes to rescue her, after figuring out she was going to be sacrificed to the dragon. She finds magic worms in the dragons lair that heal all wounds. She beats the dragon, tanking dragon fire to the face, and stabbing it...

    yeah, you can definitely adjust "server settings", and this is one of those games, where even solo, you setting up a "private server" I would say, try it default first. one of the issues I had in early versions was Im pretty sure sending your minions out to farm was locked to servers being...

    well, one of the best things about crypto is you don't need coinbase. you can transfer btc directly person to person. The idea is you would have a hot wallet on your phone. you keep lets say $200 worth of BTC on that phone, and either generate a QR code you can swipe in front of their phone...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    That is an interesting topic. I would actually blame Baldur's gate for it mostly. Its where all the romance, and companion quest focus dates back to. wizardry and might and magic def stayed more on the build a party for a good long time. might and magic 8 has a single pc, and rest of the...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    honestly same. Icewind dale series is one in that period that really got me back into CRPGs. its hard to argue exactly why. icewind dale isn't as fondly remembered. I think the more action oriented and less 90% of the game is in one city aspect was more enjoyable to me then. Although, much...

So, a modder named, presidentmattdamon created a mod called take no prisoners, tnp, a while...
