    Retro Game of the Month December 2017: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis)

    The spell names are taking a lot of getting used to for sure. I have to check a spell list constantly every time I want to go cast something that isn't a basic ice/water/fire nuke. There's some odd difficulty spikes here and there, mostly revolving around when it switches your party members...

    Retro Game of the Month December 2017: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis)

    There any way to see stats of equipment in stores before you buy? Kinda annoying just buying shit blind =\ Combo attacks + macro are perfect for grinding if you need levels. Just set up outside a town, set the first macro to triblaster or whatever to clear all the enemies and grind until TP is...

    They'd have to print some truly bonkers shit to replace the energy core as the objective best strategy. Unless the sets are just insane ala OG Zendikar or something you'll just see energy adjust slightly to pick up whatever the 1-3 new best cards are and go right back to business.

    Infiltration ran a Meat stream late tonight. Some of this looks pretty fucking dirty, maybe she's actually real?

    Tribes still have a chance once we get the other half of their block, but I'm not optimistic. The merfolk lord is gonna be 4 mana or something awful, and there's no way in hell islandwalk comes back.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Sure I know about Overstock and all that shit, but it seems like such a fucking volatile thing to try and exchange directly for goods. I'm sure they lock the price for a certain time window or whatever, but shit by the time you add items to a cart and finish checkout BTC could have gone up or...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yea Monero is definitely picking up steam. It's pretty widely accepted on most black markets now, but it's nowhere near the prevalence of BTC yet. I haven't personally used it yet but I might once my current stash of BTC is exhausted for my next shipmets. Though given the current trend that...

    Poll December's Retro Game of the Month

    Name me a good Genesis emulator I guess? I never had a Genesis back in the day and I think have played exactly 0 games on it, so this should be interesting.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    So here's my question about crypto, but this is mostly specific to Bitcoin: How far can this go without the currency itself holding any tangible value? Currently the only thing BTC is good for is buying drugs, is that enough to prop this market up? Cause I don't think it is. The current numbers...

    Yea it's definitely not traditional indian or thai, but I find it keeps better as leftovers and I tend to cook like 3-4 days of shit at a time cause I can't be arsed to make full dinners more than once or twice a week. Also I just prefer yellow for potatoes which I tend to dump in it a lot. I...

    Playing without mods entirely is just retarded. Some of them objectively improve the base game and offer core functionality that should exist already but just doesn't for whatever reason.

    I've been doing a thai-ish style yellow curry with powder. I'm not nearly fancy enough to make my own red paste, and I can't find it for sale anywhere near me so far. The base of it is basically onion/zucchini/bell pepper/potatoes with chicken all cooked in coconut/sesame oil with your usual...

    Anyone any good at making curry? Mine is passable currently, but it's too damn rich. Do you just need to cut the coconut milk with water, or is there something I should get besides coconut milk?

    This is correct. Chicks play Elves or whatever to placate their boyfriend. I can count on one hand the number of actual, vested girl magic players I've met in my like 23 years or whatever playing the game. And yea I don't doubt that there is a decline currently and I'd agree that it's almost...

    I'd take everything Rudy/Alpha says with a fucking entire mine of salt. The dude is so heavily leveraged in to MTG financially that you have to assume literally every word out of his mouth is somehow about trying to protect his "investment".

    I'm pretty legitimately concerned they are going to blunder ahead the same way comic books have.

    Yea I thought the dialogue was surprisingly well done for sticking to their gimmick so rigidly. It's the first thing people complain about when they talk about the game for some reason though.

    JRPGs

    Oh before I forget, play Child of Light if you haven't already. Easily the best game I played in 2014, and the soundtrack rivals the best of the FF soundtracks. Everyone speaking in rhymes rubs some people the wrong way, and it feels a bit silly at times, but the game is just great.

    JRPGs

    Oh shit I haven't thought about that game in forever. I don't think I ever actually beat it back in the day cause my potato computer could barely run it and I had like 5+ minute loading times.

    They don't actually really have much recourse at this point. The kid challenged their DMCA claim on his video, which means they now have to back it up in court or risk losing any future DMCA claims they might need to make.

    JRPGs

    Give Battlechasers: Nightwar a try if you're looking for something a bit different. It's basically a wester-made JRPG so it's missing the weeby bits, but the core RPG systems are very similar.

    Standard is has been an interesting ride for the last couple years. It's in a pretty good place currently, but they really managed to screw the pooch for a solid 24-36 or so months.

    Luke Cage being 95% is just baffling to me. Did these people just stop watching the show half way through? I do not understand how anyone could have sat through the last third of that show and come out the other side still happy with what they saw.

    I'm sure Marvel is planning on reclaiming the X-Men rights from Fox if at all possible, hence their current cold war on X-Men anything in comics, games etc. It'd line ip with the end of the current MCU pretty well; come 2022ish or so when it's all wrapping up and actors are aging out would be...

    6 mana scared people initially, as walkers in the 6 mana slot have been pretty bad lately (Sorin, Ajani).

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    The worst part is that none of it will matter. Game will still sell millions to the normies and their mutoid pre-teen kids will all be slapping mommies credit card in to their TV screen trying to play as Darth Maul. Video games are dying.
