    Monster Hunter Rise

    Took me 3 Apex Azuros to get the Wisdom Crystals but you could probably do it in one with better RNG drops. Asked b/c of your post about the Event Quest earlier. 1 kill gets you the ability to craft them. I still cannot make blast gem and no idea why. I have all the components and no quests or...

    Yeah, wish I had started this reread last night! Not too late to turn around though.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    The God Is Not Willing was freaking awesome. So much better than what was going on in Forge of Darkness. Erikson just knows how to write strange soldier characters and other fringe players and mains. He just didn't have the rhythm in Forge. This felt great though and hated for it to end.

    What did you just read?

    I looked around briefly for my reaction after finishing it, but couldn't find it. At this point my memory of it was not particularly enjoying it. It wasn't "bad," as you say and that's exactly what I remember, but can't live up to The Martian. I'd probably never go back and re-read it or really...

    Is there a thing you have for DPS numbers? I forgot if there was one in World for PC. Not 100% interested in being tops or anything just kind of wondering. My RNG is catching up to me. Multiple Rathian, Rathalos, Kushala, Teostra, etc Gems but have run probably 40 Magnamalo without a purple...

    Finally finished Story / Hub up through Narwa. Took forever for me this go round. Been running mostly Night Wings with a raw damage build but may branch out in to elemental sets or switch up weapons. Still not seeing as many horn users in fights as I'd like to. Always feels bad without one just...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Mitsuzune Urgent in Hub is the first mission that seemed like any sort of gatekeeper for gear and skill. That damn thing just wiped groups when I was trying it. Water cannon blasts and spinny spinny attacks were one shotting people left and right. That fight sucked as dual blades though and I...

    Either I lost them or never had them, but nowhere in my pack of cables for the Seasonic 750W Gold I’ve had for like 7 years was a third 6+2 PCIe power cable nor an existing one with a daisy chain. Best Buy had Corsair RM850x and 1000x in stock but the 850 only showed two PCIe and online reports...

    I'm really liking Dual Blades in this one. Very different than playing the other weapons and it has taken a bit to get used to all the mobility. So used to being a slow plodding tank with a big weapon. Like always there's 100 things that I need to go back and figure out. Basically paying no...

    There was definitely a huge difference when I picked out stuff for my remodel. Like lurker said though not just price. Was important to pick a color, design, style combination that all went with the room so that it looked more natural and didn’t stand out as fake. A lot of natural light made...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I don’t have a good answer, only to say ‘because.’ To elaborate on that though, because I like having books on shelves in the house. The SubPress editions are very nice and decorative. Not suggesting every dime store novel needs to be displayed but that’s fine too. There’s a certain charm with...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    That would be completely counter to how the original release and any other series I've purchased from SP has been run. Seems very odd they'd change it for the second printing. I'll be trying to get in on this one as well and give it a shot. It was not the same for books they purchase from other...

    I've done Bow, HH, Longsword, and Lance in other series. May try out something new like an Axe or Dual Swords just to get in to it. Not 100% concerned about a meta build really, just always enjoy having fun.

    The Amazing Race

    It was funny at the end of the third episode when they told the cast they were halting the race and Phil had to give his, "We're all just 100% worried about your safety" speech. No one cares about their safety. Just come out and say there's no feasible way to continue the race with everything...

    The Ascent. All the immediate feedback on release turned me off otherwise would have played it back then. Really awesome atmosphere. Everything feels hand crafted, dirty-cluttered-appropriately-sci-fi- megagolobohomo-corporate-dystopian, over the top violence with exploding so it feels comical...

    It was probably a "had to be there" type of thing, but since people were discussing Aris as if they had a history of knowing his stream it seemed relevant. To everyone else, not so much. Aris was "flirting" with Kayo that whole Evo while walking around and stream finally got them on together as...

    I did the same thing with a keyboard where Orb was Q and Anomaly was W, I just held it down the whole time and had Move / Smite on Left Mouse and Lunge on Left Mouse. So basically QWRightMouse were always held down and Left Mouse to jump around screen.

    Are you autobomber? There's been a lot of feedback how Lunge is the only movement skill that requires a target and calls that the requirement is removed to be in line with other class movement based skills.

    Just finished this on Gamepass. It was pretty good. Short, easy, not complex, but everything worked well together. Have no experience with the Lodoss lore or characters but it didn't hinder enjoyment. What did hinder my enjoyment was the Gamepass version "issue" where the game turns in to a...

    They make Cool Orange and Cherry flavored BC / Goody's (oops, Goodys is Mixed Fruit, BC is the Cherry) as well in case you don't like the taste of the normal. I take probably one ever 2 - 3 days b/c of shoulder pain and it is great. Honestly probably more often than that. Could be addicted to them.

    Found the Gmail from 2009 when Gardens shipped and I think Dust came out last year? So 12 years. I like that they’re all a matched numbered set, SubPress did a great job making sure people kept their number. Two of the Esselmont books are matched as well, they coordinated with the Euro seller...

    There are couple of good, lengthy, posts on the official forums about improving Monoliths and Echoes. It seems there's very little incentive to farm mobs in the monoliths unless you have to kill a certain number to unlock the objective. Mostly looking at the reward and blowing through it and...
