    I believe they did the same thing (on phones) with old versions of the FF games when the Pixel Remasters came out. Yeah it's kind of shitty. Almost as shitty as Dragon Quest 7 and 9 not being available in like, any modern form at this point. 1-6 and 8 are available on phones and some of those...

    The "Defeat Rajaah" Backlog Challenge (Ends May 31st @ 11:59 PM EST)

    Nice, I got this game for free when I was running a Gamestop and it was a really fun time considering it totally came out of nowhere for me. I'm working on Skywalker Saga this weekend. I really just got it for Ep 8 and 9 (said no one ever) but those are locked behind Ep 7, so I figured I might...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Malenia is probably way way easier on NG. In a situation like that I'd consider just doing a new NG runthrough and getting her there while trying a new character type. Maybe Samurai and killing the intro area boss while you're at it. However I can get why doing that would feel like giving up...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I have a feeling there'll just be one huge DLC for this game. However there's no telling because their previous Souls games don't really follow any pattern of DLCs: Demon - 0 (1 planned and scrapped) Dark - 1 Dark 2 - 3 Dark 3 - 2 Bloodborne - 1 One big DLC worked well for Ghost of Tsushima and...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think the world map looks weirdly similar to a uterus / ovaries early in the game, then weirdly similar to an embryo late in the game once you've added the northern areas. I wonder if this is intentional at all.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

    Okay yall win, started at Ep 1. Just finished it. I think Darth Maul was the end in the original Lego Episode 1, but here we had a couple extra stages after that which was cool. It seems to be flying by and I feel like these new versions of the episodes are quicker than the originals while...

    lul I accidentally posted it too soon before I wrote anything. That's the ending screen of Arceus which has very little to do with the actual game. Except that guy taking pictures has been creeping on my female teenager MC for the whole game

    The "Defeat Rajaah" Backlog Challenge (Ends May 31st @ 11:59 PM EST)

    Finished Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Did this entirely in the portable mode of Switch, didn't play it on the TV at all, so it didn't feel that different from other Pokemon games. Wasn't really by choice, I've just barely been home this week and before that I pretty much only played this in very...

    Chrono Cross Remaster dropped today. However reviews are calling it Chrono Cross "Remaster" because it's nearly a port. Looks like the resolution was scaled up, but as far as remastering goes, they only remastered the 3D character models and left the prerendered backgrounds pretty stagnant. So...

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

    About how long is each episode? I bought this game last night to play after I finish Arceus which'll probably be tonight. Originally I just wanted to play Episode 8 and 9 since they're the ones that never got a game previously. However they're locked behind Episode 7. I really hope Episode 7...

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

    For a while I thought I might be a deluded old man yelling at clouds (I'm 37) when I thought everything was getting worse and worse qualitywise. Now I'm totally sure of it, it isn't in our heads. It's very noticeable across the board in pretty much everything consumerist. Impossible to reach a...

    Smartphones

    Managed to resolve that whole issue. UPS did deliver it and it was next door. I knew it. In any case I got the trade done and got an S22 Ultra, plus a $50 phone case that's totally see-through. $50, seriously? I never used a case on my S9 and it was pretty damn beaten up after a while from the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Grabbed what might be the last one of these in existence at retail price. Apparently someone returned one like the day before I happened to check to see if any had been restocked anywhere on the 0.1% chance that it'd be the case. Unopened and I'm not even sure if I'm gonna open it myself. This...

    I don't think Blood Dragon has co-op. It's just a DLC for Far Cry 3, really. However they did such a great job with it that it ended up getting its own game release digitally later.

    Time for Story Time With Raj. Well, I took up T-Mobile on their "trade in S9+ and get lotsa money towards new one" deal. However this required trading in my old one in very good shape. My old one is pretty beat up. Good news is, it's insured, so I was able to request a replacement S9. I wanted...

    Is S20 Ultra a better deal than S22 Ultra? All I really care about at this point is the camera. I have an S9+ and with S22 Ultra I'm just going from 1440p to 1440p with a slightly better processor I guess. If S20 Ultra and S22 Ultra have the same camera I might as well get the cheaper one...

    The "Defeat Rajaah" Backlog Challenge (Ends May 31st @ 11:59 PM EST)

    Finished Doom 64 after 25 years of wanting to check it out. Pretty short game but it was fantastic, probably my new favorite retro Doom. For a long time this was really hard to get to because I didn't have an N64, then when emulation came around for it, the game was way too dark to play. So it's...

    The "Defeat Rajaah" Backlog Challenge (Ends May 31st @ 11:59 PM EST)

    Oh it does look better? That's cool. I haven't done a side by side comparison and the PS5 Blood Dragon basically looks like what I remember the PS3 version looking like ten years ago. Course if I actually put them side by side I'd probably see that the PS3 version in 2022 doesn't look like it...

    The "Defeat Rajaah" Backlog Challenge (Ends May 31st @ 11:59 PM EST)

    Blood Dragon is soooooo good, I wish I could play it for the first time again. At least I got the digital PS5 version for free cause of FC6 so I can play that. It isn't really any different from the PS3 version though, maybe a little sharper. Not a full-on remaster AFAIK. I should play that...

    Laptop Computers

    Yeah, it seems that way. Maybe it's time for me to go back to desktops and spring for that crypto mining rig I was considering putting together a year ago. I don't know though, laptops are super convenient since I'm not home a lot of the time and can get stuff done on the go.

    I've got a Legion Y545 and it absolutely sucks. I bought it in...mid-2019 I think? It might have been 2018 but I think it was 2019. Thing has had one problem after another. I had to replace a bunch of parts over time and it still keeps having issues. So I caution people to watch out for Legions...

    Utnayan Backlog Challenge: Part 4 ends March 31

    I agree. I'm thinking I'll front the reward for the winner of the main challenge (which will be bigger than this month) and if @Utnayan wants to front an overall participation raffle reward we can have that again. I'm doing a post for the next challenge now, and I can edit it to add a third...

    Doesn't look like it. I could host to keep things moving. We'll see after this weekend (insanely busy weekend for me). Anyone have any ideas for changes they want to make for the next one? Maybe use a new system besides HLTB? I don't know, let's hear some suggestions.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Yeah, I was mostly referring to general other servers / future servers when I talked about prioritizing Inktuta's shard. Mischief is its own beast, where up is down and down is up.

    After I thought about it more, I realized that it's possible he was taking another SIM card out of his mouth and that'd make a hell of a lot more sense. I probably glanced away from the screen and glanced back in time to see him putting the card back and it appeared that he'd just licked it...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Frenzy scales off of your weapon's DMG, plus the Frenzy stat. So an item with 25 Frenzy on it or something is a nice hit to it. In SoD at level 75 you can get a bunch of Frenzy type 3 augs very easily (I still use the best ones at 120). This also means that in later expansions where 2HB =...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    The Cursecallers are really tough even out of era. The last shard I needed to finish BIC was Inktuta of all places and I remember going back there with like 25-30 people at level 75 or 80 or something just to get me a shard. We won, but we got our asses kicked in the process. Was shocking. I...

    Nice, you did it. I thought about making some sort of speedrun push to get something else done in the few hours I had before midnight tonight but I don't know of anything I'm working on that's that close to the end. Except maybe Doom 64 HD which I'm halfway through, but even that IDK.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Did some more with this. Had a blast in Hirata Manor in particular, that place makes you feel super-badass. Something about sneaking around a heavily-guarded place at night in the rain and assassinating everybody. Got to both of the early big bosses, horseback guy and Lady Butterfly. Got...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'm still seeing people (often people who haven't even tried it) trashing Elden Ring for "inaccessibility" and having difficulty that doesn't accomodate players, and not having an easy mode. I don't get it. ER is probably the easiest Soulsborne game, and accomodates people of all skill levels...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    WoW will never have enchanters. Their opinion of their playerbase is waaaaay too low to introduce a complex class like that that could frighten people off. ...and they're probably right.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I've always thought that WoW needed to do what EQ does and have the previous expansion(s) still have viable content to do during the current expansion. In ANY given EQ expansion, people are still doing stuff from the past 1-4 expansions (depending on era) because there are still things WORTH...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah, I realized that later after I posted. Meleequest is in full swing after the initial rush is over. Maybe I'll go Ranger after all and save Mage for the next normal TLP.
