It wasn't the pandering that killed New World, it was the unfinished/buggy state it launched in. If you think there are 1 million+ MMO PVPers looking for "good fights", there are multiple bridges I have to sell you. The only game with that description that ever really made it was Eve Online...

Wow, have been under the weather, finally got back on and even this late after new patch launch on (pauses to look) Orofena there is a queue of 200. Did Brimstone Sands/Expansion really revive the game that much? Economy still seemed like it sucked; word was that once you ran out of quests there...

So after seeing this in a bunch of Youtube shorts, I finally started watching this. The first two seasons were good/great, in the context of a police procedural. I am kinda iffy on watching past this because I really like the show now and hate for it to GOT season 8.

Ultima 3 was my first real CPRG. There was Adventure but this was a real open world RPG. The first two Ultimas were RPGs, but had things like time travel, etc. This is sailing and moon portals and every thing else. Lord British blew my mind about what the possibilities were for a computer...

I just logged back in. I stopped at lvl 46 and was using the Hatchet/Life Staff with Nature gems build. Game seems just the same as I remember, minus the destroyed economy and 5,000 other bugs, invuln, etc that needed fixing before launch. Maybe this time they will get it right. Will play a...

I used to dig classless games for their potential, and now hate them for their blandness as they are balanced/nerfed into dull greyness. See Mass Effect 1-3 vs. Andromeda. I have this installed but I can't decide if I want to be bored by this or overwhelmed by Terra Invicta yet.

The fuck is this? Reopening old wounds, damn it. I work with a MS guy who worked at Trion with great stories. I have this game to thank for my spending control in any game these days, as I added up what I spent and was awed what I had spent starting with the first drop of heroes to xp bonuses...

The Youtube Shorts Edition:

The problem is that this gen for Nvidia is the last of the monolithic dies; its one big chip. Everyone is moving the chip/chiplets for their next gen cards but their power/heat requirements are ridiculous. Mist has it right that these cards aren't going to be for everyone, and AMD is a step...

So, my son loves doordash and we get it a couple of times a week since the pandemic started yadda yadda. Pushed him from restaurants to fast food places because the cost, it gets expensive and if the world isn't ending, we will need to have a functioning family budget. 5-7 bucks is worth it...

To be fair, if you donated to Star Citizen in the first 18 months, who knew what it was going to become? Chris Roberts was a legend and was going to bring back some of the best of the 90's game play; Squadron 31 or whatever was going to ship first and no one could foresee it was going to become...

I am really thinking about going AM4/5800x3D until cheaper Mobos come out. Fuck all of these price gouging MFers. They are just as bad as Nvidia. There is a $1000 MOTHERBOARD. Everyone wants their own slice of pandemic shortage pricing. AMD wasn't too bad with the CPU pricing; the extra 50...

In what appears to me to be a good sign, AMD cut the shit out of their cards today. MSRP for the 6900XT is 699.

Is anything after WotLK "Classic"? I am happy to play through that but when does "classic" become retail at this rate?

That's what's happening right now. I would get a 6900xt, though, because they are the same price and better performance. Nvidia are shameless fucks who I hope have to lie in the shit bed they have themselves created after the second Crypto boom/bust cycle they rode to billions in profit. Live...

Th I almost didn't get past the first episode, like Primal. Overall it was a great work based on the IP and a good but sometimes tough watch. There are mature shows that pull no punches and then this kind of shit. That's not a spoiler, that's the nature of Night City; Agreed its over done...

People forget what a huge difference customer service can make until they need it. Not to call out Xexx but for lots of stuff, MBs or even CPUs, in the past you were dealing with a physical store. Now with all the tales about AIBs while Powercolor prices look good, I hesitate to drop 700+...

There are many more and far more graphic puking gifs than I would have imagined. That gif of who looks like Depp in Black whatever Boston mobster thing gives me horrible high school drinking flashbacks before I developed better alcohol taste. Even so, the 80's were a drinking simpler time. I...

My just bought ASUS 3080 was my first non-Evga card in a decade. I was hoping they would pick up AMD, not drop Nv. This is really a sad day.

I don't mean to defend this heaping pile of trash but Sauron fooled a lot of people, even powerful elves, although I think they gave him the boot from Linden right away (he got the boot from one place right away, then when someone else to forge the rings, and then went to Numenor where he ruined...

But what if said bad guy knows you read minds and doesn't block you but feeds you bullshit mundane thoughts. He's hiding and knows how to hide. James Bond doesn't erase his past as a secret agent, he creates a plausible cover story. Sauron would do the same here, i.e. Annatar or whatever...

Our local Dominos was boxing way above its weight class for a long time: pizza was *really* good, got here fast, delivery dudes knew us and were cool. Then COVID hit and they never recovered. They started delivering again but the seriously worst pizza we ever received. Papa Johns is our...

I like Popeyes chicken but how can an ostensibly Cajun place get dirty rice so wrong?

After spending much of my life looking down on McD's as baseline, it seems like its the only place outside of Chickfila and Whataburger that consistently gets my order right. Lots of days when I am super busy and we are all home, I can have Doordash bring us good McD's food for 5 bucks over menu...

Laughing because of the people thinking this is a real argument. Crying because of the number of people thinking this is a real argument.

We don't disagree, I just put their irrelevance in 1993, you extend their decline into Mid 90s (95?). Spaghetti Incident came out in Nov 93. Actually, the big mistake in that post is mine, I push Grunge back into 93, when really Nirvana was hitting big Christmas 91/Jan 92 with "Smells like...

Just what the Thor Franchise needed: a Se7en installment. Gor was always dumb, and Cancer Jane was extra stupid sprinkled on top of it. Have *Taika* doing a Gor movie with Cancer Jane in 202x was the Nuclear Fusion of Stupid, though, I will give you that. I was scared they were going to bring...

They had a few great years as hair metal died and then they drank their own kool aid and started hating each other; in 93 Grunge took the piss out of everyone playing $100 Million dollar stadium show tours and flying on individual private jets to shows and whatever else they were doing. AfD was...

I've learned how to play this game like 3 times, years apart. It's ok to keep updating stuff, and adding on to the game, and adding *CONTENT*. Stop changing basic systems, though, ffs.

Well, if you mean an a new server, as soon as I started on Maladath, I could have started a DK. Maybe because someone had already hit 55? In any regard, it seem like there are plenty of plate wearers now, although in my personal quest to play classes I haven't leveled before, DK is on the list.

Why was DK already unlocked for me? I keep seeing people saying they "finally" unlocked it but it has been unlocked for me since I came back this time.

I have been playing super casually, my highest leveled character (pally) just hit 25 last night. We did Deadmines prior with 4 pallys and a druid; I tanked as a level 24. We literally burned through the whole place. I thought about making a Shaman but I just don't level fast enough/playing...

So many great builds in this game, I remember my warrior healer significantly baseline healing in open world rifts by damage done, then them nerfing almost everything. Part of the allure of Ashes of Creation to me is the callback to at least a little of how Rift did its classes. I, too would...

Look, I was never that much into WOW; I went on a whole different MMO trip. I played EQ2 for a year, then when my guild broke up there I played vanilla WOW for a year mostly solo and pickup, never went on any raids, leveled one character to 60 or something, a few others to mid 40s (NE Rogue...

The Night Begins to Shine™

I, too, started a nostalgia campaign Labor day weekend on Maladath , playing classes I mostly have never played before, i.e. Paladin. Tsolost, Graeth, Mhoral, and a few others Alliance side.
