    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    doing taxes. so decided to look at where I stood with crypto. tl/dr eth is a big winner, everything else lost. this as starting in 12/23/20. First, I looked at the price I sold my mutual fund at. $34.31. its current value is $31.25. so, if I had left my money in that account it would be...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Anyone get prime Remaster? I see reddit /gaming gushing over it. an even bigger visual upgrade then you might expect. not just textures, but geometry as well. (its also 39.99) face reflection example. wonder if this should get its own thread?

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    to be clear, they are remasters, not remakes. new textures, etc. not a full rework to modern standards. Newly remastered graphics, remastered soundtrack and quality of life improvements, including difficulty selection and save slots Touch screen mapping functionality for the Nintendo Switch™...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    hairstyles, clothing, glasses, etc are all very modern. is there anything in game that actually sets it in its prescribed timeframe? seems like the game is set in 2023, and just pretends its not to not mess with canon.

    Metroid Dread

    got to this game finally. and this is really hitting on a number of my frustrations. the game looks great. and I do love the 3d/2d mix. but, the emmi shit is annoying. "heres a stealth cloak, use it to avoid emmi!" stealth cloak is totally useless, since they path right over you every...

    yeah, efap guys were 100% on this. called it movie of the year contender. ive not seen it.

    Lockwood & Co.

    yeah, the world building and attention to detail is fantastic. It sets up rules for the ghosts, and follows them. both in practice, and consideration of effects on culture. old school ghost rules btw. running water, doorframes, iron, salt, etc. 1920's pagan occultism. peak lovecraft/howard...

    Lockwood & Co.

    Fantastic alt UK young adult show on netflix. Having a hard time coming up with a good comparison. ghosts are real, and can kill people. event happened in the 20s to cause it, seemingly. teenagers are sensitive and can see or hear them, to combat them. doesn't pull punches, people die...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    yeah, some great ideas. could have just been a theives guild movie, IN Fearun. some others, the various games exist. Icewind dale was a very cinematic story. would work easy as a movie. NWN2:mask of the betrayer could be adapted, but more complicated. Baldurs gate as well of course.

    Finished. and going to repeat. not only did I really enjoy this, but I am also really tempted to outright play again, just to do a different class and path.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    same. I want one to take this shit seriously. A dragonlance. Take the IP seriously in the mainstream. that makes it cool and people enjoy it. keep the goofy injokes to your homegames. SAme with superheroes and shit. if you treat a character like a joke in the mainstream movie, thats all...

    The Last of Us

    I'll never understand the appeal of so many zombie movies, games, whatever. Didn't play the games either. so I guess I'll ask. where are all the infected coming from 20 years later? how are new people getting infected at all at this point? population should have died down to the point of no...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Coming to a close on this. in act 5, need to head to threshold. so far I'd rate this a 9/10. My favorite tactical rpg in some time. the last one I actually FINISHED was Divinity:OS 1, iirc. even kingmaker and divinity:0s 2, I never finished. os2 I petered out in late act 3...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    yeah, Matt himself is the soyest of the soy really. pegged by Marisha probably. 2/3rds of his npcs are they/them non-binary. attack wheelchairs as you note. He's 130% bought into the insanity. "we love you very much". "safe space" "representation". they stopped the games for...

    Underrated/Overrated Video Games

    I wonder how Elden ring fanboying would hold up to skyrim if they were closer together. Although I suppose some of it is just different players and playstyles. Elden ring is the rpg for action gamers. Skyrim is the rpg for immersive sim people.

    hadn't even heard of it. but yeah mike is really sellling it. like he said, looks like a masterclass in camera work and lighting. ..why are there so many movies about cannablism? Cannabilism is not common. Is this some hollywood shit? Are they telling us something? The one fetish they...

    The Rig

    Gave it a shot. Dumb shit. can't recommend. Acted well enough. Plot is retarded hippie environmentalist pseudo-science. the ultimate in noble savage. billion year old hyper intelligent bacteria/fungus(it can't seem to decide which it is). Evil corporate man wants to kill it because hes...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I don't think thats how I would describe it. the game is a sandbox, so alternate playstyles are part of that core. I'd say theres lots of aspects of the game, some of them are flushed out, others are very barebones. I couldn't guess where the devs feel the target for BASE GAME Should be...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    Brotato is the one that I see get the most universal praise. haven't tried that one myself. vamp survivors is the first and complete. many of the others are EA partial. we should mention the actual original. Magic survival on mobile is the actual progenitor...

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    this isn't more complete. its starts at :13s of the first vid, after he spent 13s fiddling with this gun, and the guy went around to two other tables first. Technically even longer. looking at the time stamps. dude walks in at 18:48. hero reacts immediately, but can't manage to get his gun...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    raw soundtrack not perfect for letting you feel how it is in game though. They do a great job with having it kick in during seiges, etc. outside of the game, much of it is just kick ass enviromental music. IN game, shit fits perfectly. individually offworld auspex, imperial advance, and...

    Kaleidoscope

    yeah. like, again, theres a solidly acted, decent movie buried in there. But this experiment spits in the face of Editing. and with it, storytelling. also, zero wokeness so far. since, its 2023 and I need to include that. spoke too soon, Violet has some woke faggotry. "i'm BLAAAAAAAAAAACK"
