    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I'll post about what the fuck I want to post about. I will beat whatever drum I like until the mods tell me different. Don't like them? Neg them or don't read them. IDGAF. I loved/had loved/still love the game and have spent hundreds/thousands of hours playing it across three platforms since...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Nice strawman: No one ( I mean me) said anything about "retconning". It will be bad, unsatisfying storytelling, though. "SAURON'S NOT A BAD GUY, HE'S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD!!1" "There's no Light side and Dark side of the Force!!!" Forecast says: Probably disappointing.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    You've got to use the Darkness You've got to use the Strand You've got to use the Force, Luke They made us friends with everyone but the Vex (so far!). Bungie are worse than Marvel/DC making up shit as they go to keep people on the hook paying for shit. Already the Traveller sucks and only...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I have seen this mentioned a few times, hopefully they are working on a fix. I apparently burned Arn's broom upgrade: after I got his carts back, he says he should give me a reward but because I hadn't unlocked brooms yet, he just disappeared. I had the money but no option to buy it. When you...

    Ashes of Creation

    I got your point. I wasn't commenting on your post, per se, I was commenting on the game itself. The Korean/Chinese artstyle is OK but every time I see it now I associate it with steady attacks on my wallet. Agreed with the sentiment that I am super-excited to explore the gameworld. Really...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Go back to the post with Ut's controller settings. I will look it up later and repost but don't have much time now. After making those changes it worked way better for me. I really struggled to get a handle of the combat combos and controller button combinations with this game, though. I am...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    well, the ability to put points in the talent tree is unlocked after a certain point but this game slow rolls *everything* out, including spells needed to access certain quests and areas of the game. I mean, no big deal but its something everyone is going find; its not a story detail, just a...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Is that a spoiler? I don't think so. I don't remember if I read it but someone said they didn't want to carry items for Transmog but everything you pick up is added to transmog permanently, so you can immediately sell it and then change what you just found back to your original look for free...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    PS5 Performance is great. Camera is super fucking close in performance mode, though, ugh. Game is 21st century Woke on the down low. Its all there: Just hit a quest and old broad said my wife loves X. Random side quest has interracial couple, black man in top hat with Irish wife. Game loaded...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    For all of the Anti-JKR hate and boycotting of the game, the actual game itself is so 2020's DEI. Hero Trans Bar owner: Magic and shit but not good enough to pass, 19th Century Wizarding Britain that looks like London 2050, etc etc. The good news is the actual game is fun and well made. None...

    She is a super Lefty progressive, she just wants to keep men and men who are pretending and/or think they are women out of women's spaces. Which to trans activists mean you want to genocide them.

    Bleh. Another Gatcha/Monster Hunter/Genchin Impact clone. Miss me with Mid-Tier KR/Chinese imports. At least Japan makes games with soul. None of them are really good MMOs.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    If you don't like what you get, you can delete your Wizarding World account and use the same information right away to start another. There are also guides to help you get the Patronus/House you want. After getting a Pheasant/Mole/Salmon, I finally got a Thestral. Still unsure of the House I...

    I reported him as well. In other news, The Wizarding World website put me in Gryffindor and gave me a Pheasant for a patronus. BOYCOTT!!

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Also the intentional grounding penalty when Mahomes threw the ball away in the same exact circumstances. Lots of home cooking penalties today. Block in the back on the punt return was so egregious. NFL refs suck but in these critical games, penalties that swing the outcome suck so fucking much.

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    I am a noted Mist defender but this whole last page is embarrassing TDS BlueAnon bullshit. My wife wonders if there is something happening with HAARP that makes normal people slavering conspiracy idiots like this when it comes to Trump. Edit: Keep at it, Cochise; you're hot on his tail now...

    Bullet Train (2022)

    So the wife and I watched this today as a warm up to NFL. Heard great things about it and indeed lived up to those reviews. I/we really enjoyed it: As said earlier, one of the best of 2022 and surprised it didn't get more buzz. More Guy Ritchie than Guy Ritchie these days, although The...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    It's the GPU companies who are addicted to chip shortage/Crypto pricing. They just think that is what we will pay now. They saw the scalping and want some of that jack for themselves. They are just MSRPing the scalping price. eh, I wouldn't compare the CPUs to the GPUs. The GPUs can't...

    I binged everything edit: [up to Ep 8]tonight, and I really liked it. It is kinda like Get Shorty, I guess, but I haven't seen that in 20 years so its more of a feeling than anything. Not completely serious more of the time but has that Elmore Leonard sense of fun evident in that and Justified...

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    I think the only two achievements I didn't get for DX: HR was the Pacifist and Don't Trigger Any Alarms. I stealthed some stuff but after a while it was "Huey Lewis and the News has a Certain Hypnotic Effect" time.

    I think Kit's the only thing close to a sure watch that HBO has. Jon Snow and his sister Sansa may be the only viable characters to emerge from GOT watchable.

    Its 2022 and some people don't think others should have nice things or benefit from the fruit of their labor but I love it; Congrats! Hopefully this is a safe space where you don't get any heat for advertising it. I haven't played it in years since before things had to be changed to De-EQ it...

    Ashes of Creation

    That's not my understanding of how development works. They build pipelines and then will reuse those for other assets. It goes a lot faster as it gets closer. The Unreal Engine conversion probably took a lot of time, which is why we aren't seeing as much upfront but the design of things is...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    This is why I bought my 3080 when they hit $600+. I think I am going to sit this gen out completely; nothing I have now makes my want to spend $1000+ on a video card.

    So I took my daughter to see this today as she asked and was really excited to see it, big new movie, not in 3d because fuck that. I couldn't tell if it was HFR. We went to IPIC, which is an awesome dinner theater chain if you have one in your town. In my opinion, it looked good/great, I...

    Well, we know the character is initially named "Voller" in 1969. We don't know if that's his true identity or if that's the only character he will play in the movie.

    "effectively" is a new game is like "we have EU4 at home". I've already played this and learned it a few times; I'm done. Hopefully I'll be successful in not bitching about it here. Edit: My tiresome was not with your post but with Paradox. I wish that I was able to approach it in this way...
