5 new servers stood up with no queues and low pops. I got kicked in the time I wrote that. Now two servers I am locked out of today. So servers aren't scalable themselves it seems. Who TF did their architecture? Hopefully this is their stress test and they are learning they have already...

So when I logged on earlier, I got a musket and a life staff just at random in the first chest I opened. While on the starter beach I also got some plate armor and gloves, lots of ammo, etc. I figured out that you can make and equip all of the starter tools, so you can get a head start of...

Atlantis is locked now due to high player count, forget queue.

30 min on Atlantis, just got on to create my character, named Graethe. 972 in queue.

No one is saying that its going to be over in a month but the idea is that by Q1 of 22, you will be able to buy things again at close to MSRP, so six months. The shortage wasn't chips per se but substrate, and that is becoming available again. Cars, etc. are expected to be back this fall...

I have never understood people who rush to the "endgame", other than the first couple of MMOs ever, maybe. Where is the content at? If most of the content is built around leveling and your leveling experience sucks, i.e. EQ at the start, long term you are in trouble.

I got my Amazon pre-order email with a a key. Downloaded the Steam client, as everyone says without worlds available yet. It agrees with the tool that US East is closest. I'M IN finally LOOOL.

So because I was super curious as to how this would play out and worried one of my fans was now failing on my 2080Ti, I bought FF14 on the PS5 and synced my SQEnix account up and was able to pick right up where I had logged off on the PC. I played for a few levels but never really got the hang...

I played this for a few hours yesterday based upon all of the talk about the Great Migration. I had skipped this after the disaster launch of 1.0 and general avoidance of Asian MMOs. I actually had an excellent time playing up to 17 on a Gladiator and then switched over and played up to a 7 on...

39 (Virginia) and 45 (Ohio) to East servers from Texas, 52(Cal) and 67(Oregon) to West. Factions do seem very Secret World.

Atlantis it is. I can't believe AWS doesn't have a major DC presence in DFW but whatever; supposedly according to the reddit link they have an Edge presence with a VPN tunnel back to their MidWest DC, so ought to be good enough, I guess. I really thought they had a bigger DC footprint than MS...

Before they started cutting costs, Pizza Hut was excellent fucking pizza in the 80's. Pepsi bought them in 77 and at some point they became just another brand to be minmaxed and squeezed and who the fuck cares if people like your food, its all about maximizing profit. I guess Dominos and all...

I hated the space dragon one as well. This one I just decided the whole point was to make people uncomfortable ("It's space's problem now") and went with it. So many great individual bits. They learned so hard into the sexism stuff it had to be a bit. The crappy ninja, the "CHUDs", the...

I don't even know where to start. It was super fast paced, uncomfortable, and hilarious the whole time. Really felt like classic R&M, personally.

So I found this today with my family at the beach and watched both seasons. I liked it way more than most, apparently: I thought it was really pretty good. It has some jank which I attributed to EU-ness as well as fairly low budget. If lightning and CGI eyes are your two biggest effects...

I literally bought and played through the first adventure all night. Was fantastic. Accidentally gimped a character by giving him a power that removed his ability to carry weapons and he was a warrior. Oh well, had played far enough down the line that I didn't feel like going back to correct...

He's trying to be a good guy, he's new at it.

This show has done a pretty good job of redeeming itself from its Wokeness. I actually really like Sylvie as a character and her and this Hiddleston Loki as a Duo however that works out, although due to the compression of the series, I prefer the movies' redeemed Loki as a character Richard E...

A lot of the nitpicking here reminds me of Star Wars story Mark Hamill tells about Harrison Ford talking to him about his complaining about a potential continuity error "Hey kid" Ford said, "it aint that kind of movie. If they're looking at your hair, we're in big trouble." PTSD and Nihilism...

Can't get them anymore, they are out of stock and clearanced. I wanted to get one to replace my Maytag that died. My Maytag dishwasher's motor died and it was 400 bucks to replace it, no warranty on the motor of all f&*&^cking things past the 1 year "everything" warranty. I told the guy, "I...

And you know where it isn't melting? The Southern hemisphere. That's why you here a lot about "Arctic Ice melt" yet there isn't any real change in the sea levels in places like England where they have records going back 400+ years, the coastlines are exactly the same. Things fluctuate...

Confidence in NW Level: I just signed up for the Lost Ark Beta. I mean, I preordered the box, let's see how it goes. It seemed like the decision makers were making good decisions about the game for a while, and now they aren't. All we can do is wait and see where it nets out. I am sick of...

I guess I know too many Brits, and/or too many British accents to think that. I find most of them comforting, like meeting an old friend, since I work with so many.

Somehow the VGS/Video Game Sophistry videos for this started popping up in my YouTube feed and I watched the whole story, first as individual pieces for the characters and and then as as 6 hour movie. What an amazing story. I owned the game for forever but haven't played it every much past the...

Congrats to all the invitees.

Wow that was intensely mediocre. Hopefully they don't want to tip their hand but sweet mother. I think Kirun may be right. Saving it for the cash shop seems so crass; I would think they would show that stuff off now as well, though. This was just super plain and the whole runway conceit was...

I mean the big open-ish world ME style SP RPG type of games as a genre. Bioware? It's been an Edgar suit since at least Anthem.

Because just like movies, Publishers are trend followers and cash shop monetization/FtP was super huge in the years following following ME3, with LoL and then FortNite. Plus you had some terrible strike outs like ME: A/Anthem, etc.; its so much easier to blame the audience and industry trends...

The show was super mediocre and had completely lost me and then brought it home in the last 5 minutes and made it somewhere on the OK/not bad/meh spectrum episode. Still felt like a lot of filler bits they had lying around and threw together to make an episode. Lots of repeatable lines we...

It would have made for a great trilogy, probably because MCU in its heyday proved they could make good movies but we got most of it through the other movies and Disney wasn't going to buy another movie studio for Mark Ruffalo. Edit: theory floating around that End Credits in other languages...

Thor 2 is just filler. It's not bad, I like it well enough but it's just filler with characters I like. They didn't have any clear direction for Thor at that point; it was just a way to get Hemsworth back on screen and get another Infinity stone in the MCU. Cap 1 isn't a great movie by...

Crazy people will do crazy things. The Synth oil thing is ridiculous but that's for people who don't want to do anything, just look a certain way, just like those cat people.

Hollywood is dead. It's only radical activists and accountants now living in the Wizard's corpse. They tried to trade you in for China but the Chinese (CCP) has standards.

I have to admit, I have never been on the Game Pass bandwagon but after the last few games having been on Game Pass day one, and most Collectors/Deluxe editions either being money grabs or complete shit, I may just buy and extra year of gold and then switch over.

Anything I could post that would work that way but for the whole forum? It was referring to the comics, not the TV show, and an earlier question of how could Omni man now have a redemption arc. All the stars burn out in a googol years and the universe settles into heat death I hear. SPOILER...

Yeah, I looked into botting, and while I don't mind the money/time, I am not going through the hassle of setting up 10+ disposable credit cards and merchant accounts etc for every store for a video card. I may if I decide I want a side business but not for a single card. Double fuck 1800$ for...
