    Ghost of Tsushima

    She (Erika Ishii) was on Critical Roll and speaking with an American accent, so it's probably what the director wanted. Honestly, she wasn't nearly as annoying as some of the other people on Critical Roll, like Taliesin (if you can ignore her far left ideologue bullshit).

    Lord of the Rings Online

    You mean it's just auto included now and you don't need to put in an unlock code to make the quest lines available?

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Kinda curious on what's in the free content coupon? Went to the "news" section of the LOTRO site and didn't see anything. Did the whole move to a 64 server just in case I play this again someday, so might as well grab some more free content, if it's something big.

    Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

    King's Bounty: The Legend and King's Bounty: Armored Princess GOTY are the closest I've found to that HOMM feel. It sacrifices the base building for a more RPG hybrid campaign. Of course they are pretty old games themselves now too. Song of Conquest does a decent job at it, but didn't find it...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Oh, that's nice I guess. Wonder if it's just for the alpha/beta or if it is/will be 10x or more than a PC necro coffin. Any idea where they are located, the cost, or what the time lock is? It took something like 30 to 45 min to run back to Vale when I died, then another 30 to 45 min to run back...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I didn't see or hear of a corpse summoning npc in this game, only Necros (and SKs?) with coffins can, just like EQ. You may be thinking of Adrullan (Evercraft), which has npc summoners atm, but I assume that's just for the Alpha/Beta tests.

    Best movie that incorporated some jungle fever (but it's a black protagonist with a white love interest):

    Dirty Harry (1971)

    On the opposite side of the cops/robbers coin, Mr. Inbetween (2018) is also a drama/action(ish?) TV show, that has fairly realistic violence, that flew under the radar due to being an Ozzy production.

    From 2021 in Pretoria, South Africa. May have seen it back then but don't remember the whole thing, exactly. Driver (Leo Prinsloo) is a retired operator from South Africa's special forces. Passenger was on his 4th day and first gun battle. Pretoria purportedly had 370+ similar robberies in 2021...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    I have had a PiHole running for years to mostly help out the non PC devices on the network, but it doesn't really work on the big apps that use in app ads (like YouTube). In the case of streaming devices you will still need to sideload various ad blocking custom apps like SmartTube. I've had an...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Yes! Haven't you heard, when an IP stops being profitable the IP Fairy comes to take the IP away to release all source code onto the great Github. Just look at Electronics Arts and how many IPs they have lost due to this.

    Peacemaker

    Targeted demographics have been a thing in both Hollywood and advertising for a very long time. As a way to get through commercial breaks (back when I used to watch TV with commercials in it) I would try to figure out the various targeted demographic. Basically, if you don't see someone that you...

    Peacemaker

    It's more about knowing current Hollywood and/or what's "acceptable" for TV show runners to put on TV in the west (BBC inserted non-white nobility in a TV show about Henry VIII (Wolf Hall S2) ). If you see any group that is only white people, they are basically the bad guys. While watching the...

    So your saying if that dude just color coordinated to his sneeks, in all pink, he would be good to go as a Eurofag? Also, if I walk around in a velour track suit will everyone just assume I'm a Slav and not talk to me? ...or does it have to be Adidas? On a serious note, blending in is always...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Back to playing single player games, outside of the tests for Monsters and Memories and Adrullan Online. I stopped playing THJ a month+ before the lawsuit even dropped though (was done with PoP and would have played again once they moved onto the next xpac).

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    The solution is obvious: Since DBG is owned by a Russian Oligarch, in order to skirt sanctions on Russia by getting money into the western banking system, the developers of THJ need to sell all their code to a company backed by a Ukrainian Oligarch! Then they can run it as a charity for...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Moon Druid is a solidly middle of the road spec. In large part due to items not working with shapeshifting means that a bunch of other specs are stronger. Not only due to the amount of items in this game but also due to how a bunch of items synergize together.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Even on custom (multi-save) "honor" difficulty, the game through chapter 1 and almost to the end of chapter 2 has been pretty easy (no barrel-mancing). So if 2 specs share some items, I don't necessarily need every character to be BiS. I just like to feel like I am utilizing as much loot as...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    There is so much loot in the game it still feels like a bunch of it going to waste when only 3 characters are really utilizing it.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Nearly every playthrough of a DnD/Pathfinder game, I say I'm going to have one character that is going to be a shapeshifter character, usually druid but never do (outside of a Brownfur in the Pathfinder rules). Almost all of them make gear meaningless when shifted and playing with gear is a...

    Welp, I sent a message to the site @Burnem Wizfyre mentioned, asking if they are still accepting new members. It's been two business days with no reply. So maybe they need a third party as a middleman or some such. @Xerge Any idea if the one you use can work on Firestick or Roku? They don't...

    When I briefly looked at wireless, years ago, they didn't seem worth it. They are basically overcharging you for including small amps inside the speakers and you need to have access to a power source for each of them, so are dealing with larger wires, just going to an outlet instead of a...

    What instructions? Are you sure you are on the right site? I'm hesitant to link directly here, due to google scraping bullshit, but THIS post is in Pol Pit, which google shouldn't have access too. Quick edit: Also, Roku seems to be the most restrictive in terms of being able to get custom...

    Thanks, that got the app installed (firestick) but no clue on how to set up an account. I sent them a message on the "contact us" section of the page you linked. Maybe they aren't accepting new accounts. I'm also a bit paranoid and probably want to pay with a pre-paid CC too, so would like to...

    I gave up messing with free proxy lists a long time ago and free VPN looked to be the same way. Where most of them didn't work or did fuckall to actually mask your IP. I used to sub to Mullvad VPN but I hardly torrent anymore and the blocked porn sites aren't that important.
