    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    As much as I love their main games, the whole DLC model for games like this are mediocre at best. Give me an expansion or a whole new 30-40+ hour campaign. At least for this game, the combination of the two DLCs into a 10 level campaign might be better than any of the other ISO RPG DLCs that I...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Yarp, EQ got it right here, in that world PvP should have been FFA from the start and factions should be a lore NPC thing instead of a hard divide in the community. In vanilla, I wanted to play a Troll, but the two girls that were coming over from EQ refused to play if we were horde, so I had...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Vivaldi with UO, NoScript, and Privacy Badger is working still for me, although people have been saying Privacy Badger is now redundant and not needed. It may be the case that the YT block is not rolled out for Vivaldi yet, or UO updated late in the day today? Just in case it matters, here is...

    Napoleon (2023)

    The man who navigated a bloody purge after a revolution and then lead his country into wars that encompassed almost the whole of Europe which, in turn, was responsible for the death of millions of people... doesn't sound like someone you would want to go see a RomCom with, on a dinner date, eh...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wonder if this is preping the token to be turned into Xbawx bucks instead of BlizBucks. Still, those fucking cunts are going to make me pay $15 dollar to convert gold into years of gamepass, if they ever merge the systems...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Elvis sucks! I would rather listen to the first 5 Beatles albums on repeat for a year than sit through a single playing of an Elvis record! Anyway, here is Istanbul (Not Constantinople):

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The game tells you the big things that are time sensitive. The druids are casting a ritual, but it's slow. So obviously it takes a while, but if it takes a player 10 rests to get the goblin camp done, then they should probably decrease the difficulty. The Grymforge hits you over the head with a...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Sure, if it's something that comes up in conversation or some such, but no need to go out of your way, as I am not sure I will even be using struts or if I will be able to fabricate a mount instead. I am using it less as a traditional splitter, and more as a replacement for the underside of my...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Oh, you do race cars too or is this just someone you know? Have any recommendations for front splitter struts? I need to build out a custom aluminum splitter, but having a difficult time getting any solid info on the various struts. Amazon has $15 ones, and then there are companies with carbon...

    Very rarely watch Twitch but Vivaldi doesn't seem to be resource hogging. When switching Twitch channels, my CPU goes from 2% or less usage to ~15%, until loaded in, then back down to below 5% average. I also have 60 tabs open which are using 1,800 MB of memory. With only using Ublock Origins...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I said one of the better games, not one of the best. Originally, I started to list what genre's and games had better stories (Adventure/RPGs), which WC3 story was certainly not better than, but then kept thinking of games that didn't fit the mold (like HL2). So, instead decided to just leave it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Video games rarely approach the best of movie and TV writing, so the bar is much lower. Warcraft 3 has the best video game story in the RTS genre and one of the better ones overall. So they were able to draw on that up until WotLK, then it was all downhill from there. Cata wasn't great, but it...

    Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb (a 29 year indie game maker) wrote his take on the whole Unity fiasco and how developers should evaluate how they approach any business that can cause them to go bankrupt through one dumb decision. Half of it is a well put together, fairly short, summery of the Unity...

    While Pandaland didn't help, Warlords of Draenor was the one that just went stupid on the lore/story. They clawed a little bit back with Legion and then straight into the dumpster with BFA.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Dawn of the Dead is easily in the top 3 best horror movies or TV shows I have ever seen and Watchmen at around 6th or 7th in the super hero genre.

    Nah, I remembered the city of Carthage was originally a city state before it became an empire (that owned Sicily), so I keep thinking it was founded by the Greeks, but nope, it was founded by the Phoenicians, before they were conquered by the Egyptians. So @Chukzombi, Carthage still wasn't...

    Let's build some pools!

    I thought it was a dishwasher. Sealed outdoor rated cabinets that keep out the bugs are a bit expensive. I've seen people using drawer style dishwashers instead for things like outdoor dishes and utensils. Even with that fridge, the drawers might not look as nice as a door, but it's so much...
