I just got Scholar/Summoner and did a bunch of quests in Limsa Lominsa. Arcanist quest line was good. Fates seem to be linked and escalating in some places, like the public quests in GW2. I am probably doing to it wrong but I am seemingly playing a bunch of clases until they unlock the...

I like the premise with the exception of the sunken city. Do we really need more Climate extremism, which I hear has almost no relation to the plot, shoveled into everything? Will wait to watch purely because if I want more Green propaganda I will watch the news.

This is one game where the community has lived up to their rep. People are generally nice to Sprouts. People let people watch cutscenes. The game design encourages cooperation and cross-class knowledge. The whole feel of the game is just "good". Devs like the player base. Reports about...

Also not a hot dog.

Are we past spoilers for this 7ish out of 10 movie yet? Fuck John Cena and them trying rehab his shit character as a hero protagonist after making him a a funny sociopathic murderous frenemy for the whole movie. Double fuck them.

In my corner of Texas in the 70's there was no UHF channels, either. We had the big 3 ABC/NBC/CBS and occasionally we would get PBS from Houston (and Lake Charles NBC/CBS/ABC but that was the *exact* same thing as Beaumont/Port Arthur). They did air Battle of the Planets, though at...

Well, that may be true but after watching You-know-who's face get blown off I guess my mind was in another place. Thanks for the correction.

There are no rules anymore. Fuck canon, I guess. These are barely anti-heroes, most of them. James Gunn makes good/interesting movies. This was way better than most DC films. Or at least more interesting. I get that its cool to hate America but that is so played out; America is just...

I got so sick of all the guild drama; all the stupid server interguild fights and then the countless hours of required raiding. And this was all in Velious and the next couple of expansions. I know even before PoP (by the time we went to the moon, before we finished that expansion) I was done...

Books that you read yourself are only ever just background, even in single player games. I am a lore/narrative "enthusiast", in that these stories really matter to me, and in this format even I couldn't be assed to read it like this. 15 pages collected at random from around the world, all over...

That's the addiction talking. Just let the shakes pass, and you will be OK. Who wants to play more for progress that will be lost?

How is it you have 3000+ posts and have only now figured FOH out?

They're in the "Broke" phase of the famous formulation. Nothing on that list is original, or inspired, or has a point. It's all representation (the whole list) or pure money grab (Jungle Cruise). I haven't seen it but it seems like Pirates of the Caribbean redux with "bankable" stars. Even...

I didn't realize this, plus the only preferred server when I started was in Primal. We started on Hyperion.

I mean, they are already doing some algorithmic wonkery behind the scenes for level scaling, if they wanted to adjust weapon damage for PVP, do it there. So many games have been fucked by PvP tinkering and by PvP complaining. To quote that great philosopher Charlie Murphy, "fuck your couch"...

Broken is different than "better" i.e. meta balacing, so will I stand corrected. I did notice when I was leveling skills earlier GA seeming leveled way faster than that others but so did hatchet. I tended to main Sword and shield/life staff, though. I have just seen this too often that...

Why would they nerf it? Anyone can use it. This isn't "Shadow Priests/Necros/Druids/Pallys/Arms Warriors are OP" Anyone who wants to use the Great Axe can pick it up and use it. Balance it out a little? Sure. This is the kind of shit that the Dev team are going to have to watch out for and...

This comic is from *2007*. Will no one ever learn? Target healers FIRST.

It's nice to have some MMO options again, between this, FF14, and Lost Ark (I know FF14 has been around forever but its a new discovery for me). Congrats on your retirement!

I said there were no 43" 4K monitors with modern tech. Then I found one, for half-ish . I in no way compared VA to OLED, in fact I said this: Does like read like a comparison? Is it the order, that bothers you, then? Like many things in life, sir, it's a trade off. let me know when...

After talking to my boss who found a LG CX on sale for 1100 at MicroCenter, I stumbled upon an update to my own post: Sony makes a 43" TV that works fairly well as a 2021 4K Monitor. 2 2.1 HDMIs, 4 HDMIs overall, 120Hz refresh, VA panel, bright enough to do passable HDR and supposedly AMD...

Sure, 6 weeks before launch we are going to rework the whole f*cking game. Hey, let's make it WH40K too! Its not too late! It's never too late. Also, he has to fight a giant mechanical spider.

I am at 33.6 hours played with my primary character of the three I have played on (It seemed like every server I chose the first day was hitting the limit), level 21, I have a ton of time gathering, most of my gathering skills are 50-60+, my resource crafting is 50+, and my individual crafting...

I don't disagree she probably had the better performance, it doesn't make for the all out movement to make FemShep the canon poster-child of the series that we have seen. ALL CMDR SHEPS MATTER.

"Ashley is Rwasist!" is one of the memes I wish would go back to Twitter to die. Her family was humiliated by aliens and she was suspicious of them. As Nu_11 indicates, over time that diminishes and she has no issues with them. Instead, she hates Human Supremists Cerberus and refuses to work...

As I understand it, though, as you level up, fast travel azoth cost becomes a minimal barrier; just like respec (at least initially for respec, I don't know if it scales/increases over time/use). Its not a very big world so in order to give it any scale they have to keep travel times somewhat...

Young kids today don't know the past? Pshaw I say to ghosts, youth being ignorant of history before they were born, THAT's the fantasy!

I have been gaming on TV's since 2008 with my 38" Westinghouse, and then after that I got a 4k TV from South Korea. Here is the unfortunate reality. Monitors are just now starting to get to the 40+" size in 2021 and TVs less than 55" are "budget'. The 48" OLED LG CX/C2 (and maybe one of the...

I am enjoying the heck of the PVE combat in the 17-21 level. The start of the game was easily the worst part, and its pretty clear the survival roots. I don't know about long-term but the only thing that will kill the game in the short-med term is the Devs and over-reacting to the metas.

This is beta, though; its a great opportunity to learn the game and provide feedback. All the time you spend mining and anything else is going to be wiped so enjoy it (or not) and don't get too attached to anything, really. I understand if now isn't the time to want to play at all, for a host...

30 min is fine as long as there is other stuff to do. WAR/Rift are probably good analogs for this, unfortunately. Fun for a while but inevitably will drop off. It's all dependent on the Devs on the their content strategy. Do they think PvP is the filling or a side dish? Are the...

Holy shit, I read this post on Allakazam in 2001. You're correct. There is no point is talking to me: Save yourself.

Because no one wants to pick one thing. It's not 1997 anymore. Darkside fucking sucked. I beta tested UO and most of that awesome experience took place in your head. It was great at the time (ish) but way simpler. Every game has done the big creature thing. It was impressive to see hill...

No, they want blacks to hate white pee-pole. That they get something from the government was bad in one case and good in the other is tangential to the issue.

I spent most of the rest of the night gathering and crafting and man, this part of the game is well done. I found Hemp and iron, hemp by dayspring or whatever farm, iron veins were up past the camp in the mountains were you go for the first faction quest, you keep going up that path, and there...

this isn't one game, with a vision, this has been like 3 or 4 games over time and keeps changing. I think the money and the company has worked against them somewhat, in that rather than making and releasing three games and learning from the failures, they have made three games and are finally...

No wonder people fucking love FF14. I am in awe after reading that announcement. That's how you build commitment and dedication in a community.

Every server sucked; some were locked completely until they opened some new ones later on but the point is they knew the wave coming and did nothing. I had to make 3 new characters to play at all. Did the servers perform worse than expected? Did more people show up? Did they deliberately...

It's a closed beta, so you know how many invites effectively have gone out. you know how many downloads for the game have been made so you can anticipate the first day crowd. You should know how your game is architected, what kind of load it can bear, etc. So you open it up and have people...
