There's no fucking chance. Just look at Steam charts for players and if the numbers they're claiming were legit, it'd make EverQuest one of the most popular games being played, every single year, since its creation. Cracking 10k concurrent puts you in the top 100 most of the time.

Damn, another super young one. Wasn't he the one who was like the son of the PM of Australia or New Zealand?

That's pretty nuts. The first time we went camping at Zion, we were probably 50 feet from the Virgin River and maybe 10 feet above it. The river during the day was barely moving and maybe a foot deep and 4-5 feet across. Tons of rain north of it one day, and we got woken up in the middle of the...

Eh, stopped reading when they started talking about how the tariffs were going to fuck us. It's already a talking point that went into the shitter, as none of those negative impacts have materialized. They then go on to use those as a prediction that GDP will be lower because of increased costs...

You're delusional. They don't owe you or any of the players shit. You keep crying about legacy and stewardship like they inherited some sacred artifact and not a fucking video game. Not only that, but if we're being honest, a pretty meaningless video game. Yes, it holds a very special place for...

Fucking hell. https://www.newsweek.com/michael-madsen-actor-dies-kill-bill-reservoir-dogs-2094387

Apparently you can. I'm not sure how though, cause when I deleted my one base I tried to move one of the guy's bikes who hadn't played in a while and couldn't.

I almost brought up Corey, but I think Slipknot might be too polarizing so I decided not to. He for sure can sing, which most of these metal guys can't.

You seem upset. Did you just assume they would support the game indefinitely? How do you suggest they go about attracting new players to a 26 year old game? Honestly, what course of action do they have besides just milking it for more cash? There isn't some new generation out there just waiting...

I don't even download these movies anymore. They're all slop. My time is still worth more than what I'm willing to give up for this crap.

You just said you can't fix it, but then "let's not pass the mess to our children." What the fuck do you even mean? There's no choice but to fuck the next generations, since if we're not actually going to lower the deficit (which means not even attempting to lower the debt), it means as you...

I mean, I enjoyed the shit out of the first season, so I'll give it a shot for sure.

Pretty much. But Trump likes to spend money while crying about the deficit (kind of like a politician now). When we can't even get Trump to cut spending and this is now his 3rd or 4th spending bill in the multi-trillions, I'd say it's a lost cause. Just hope we die before the entire system...

Most of those points seem to prohibit an individual from connecting to the server using an EQ client, but the server itself is using the emulated version which, as someone stated, is 20 years in the making and at this point entirely separate.

And if it doesn't dip? And you sat out while the market runs up? You're just talking about market timing and trying to fancy it up with "buy the dip." I'm telling you time in the market beats timing the market.

What's crazy to me is that the people who grocery shop daily are still in a much better position than the people that, apparently, go to restaurants for every single meal they eat.

What I always tell people is... It doesn't matter. Let's say you're buying something at $100 a share right now, and you're waiting for a "buy the dip" moment when it drops to $90. Let's also say you're around 20 years from retirement, and the market doubles every 7 years. By the time you...

Yeah, making thousands of dollars every day passively is so boring. So much more fun when you lose tens of thousands.

I listened to those Orbit Culture songs posted above. I think I've really narrowed down why they sound so shit, and it's 100% the vocalist. At first I wanted to blame the entire band and say that it was just guitar distortion and blast beats, but it's really the vocals. There's absolutely no...

What server is everyone playing on? I haven't played this one in like a year. Since it's apparently carrying characters over, I figured I might play for the next day or so.

My question is, does something unlock later in the game that ever negates it? You shouldn't be out there slaying dragons but also so feeble that you can't see 2 feet in front of you in the dark. Where's the power fantasy in that?

Worms are only around in the open desert portions (basically the sandy portions). But yeah, that shit 100% draws worms. Especially in deep desert, you've got to turn your shield off and not use your flying belt things or worms will be on your ass fast.

Think I might be about done, at 113 hours. Playing as a solo it's just become way too grindy. At this point, I'm working on the advanced stations and in order to make them, it's spending a ton of time gathering corpses, making more aluminum/duraluminum so I can add more power, make a full load...

We've been really slow in watching this season because it's been...not great. I decided after the 5th episode that I'd give it one more episode to be funny. Well, I'm writing this mid-episode. I don't know what the fuck happened, but it appears the writers on this show forgot it was a fucking...

I more mean, their inaction is an implicit condoning of the emulators. It's not like they don't know about them or didn't have the ability to sue them for the last two decades.

I do wonder how the fact that they've let emulators exist for almost 2 decades will play into that.

My midgame base was here. If you're looking for a good spot, it's amazing. Aluminum spawns directly north, iron south (small desert crossing), crystals are a bit of a drive to the east and then NE to the basin, a ton of carbon directly east, a small bandit camp that spawns 1 or 2 (for blood or...

It's funny, there's a post on Reddit this morning talking about how they went to the one lab in DD that's in the PVE area and it was challenging, randoms joined up, and it was a fucking blast. It's got tons of replies saying "that happened to me too!" Well, it happened to me, as well. I rolled...

Market averages 10% per year. We're at about 4% right now. It's very possible we just continue chugging upwards the rest of the year.

Honestly, and @Cybsled has mentioned it a few times, you'll get a good 80-100 hours out of it before hitting the PVP part. It's very much worth buying. Hell, even then, my server is pretty friendly. I rarely see other people in the Deep Desert, and when I do, I almost instantly hear over voice...

Might just delete season 3 off the server and never finish it. It has been almost exactly a year since we quit trying. Probably not going to happen. I think this one started off with a great idea for a first season and then could never figure out what the next arc would be after "opening a...

Mentioned it a bit ago to someone who made the exact same post you just did. Just...go to Lumiere and finish the game, you've got like 1-2 hours left. Act 3 is super short outside of the side-stuff.

Was watching Clarkson's Farm and the closing song in the first season was this, and I'm like holy shit, what is that song? I honestly don't know why exactly I know this one. I mean, it's not obscure or anything, but still. Anyway, here's a Glen Campbell version instead of Mason Williams.

I'm hoping this isn't just one of those "the script adapters butchered the source material" and the actual thing wasn't quite this stupid.

Two guys I've been playing with haven't been on since Saturday. One hasn't even built an ornithopter yet, and the other is towards the end of aluminum phase and probably would be starting duraluminum the next time they get on. Neither have finished the Fremen main quest to unlock deathstills...

This is the reason I've never touched a TLP. I'm not paying fucking $15 a month to play a game over a quarter century old. Seriously...just fuck right off with that nonsense. Even ignoring that emulators exist and I can play a better product for free, there are multitudes of games out there for...

That was my thought as well. You've basically made it so the griefers only have to look in 5 rows instead of 8. Worse though, it seems like there's fuckall for resources anymore. I flew the entire length of I and H and found zero spice. In fact, the only spice I've found this morning was two...

That was fast. I was getting ready to finally build my DD base, guess I'll plan on having it way out in the D row.

Sounds like you're agreeing with me? Also, regarding your point above, Cyb, it almost seems like they could just remove rows B through D. There's basically nothing there anyway, why make me fly all the way out there instead of just moving the resources to row A? It also makes your zone smaller...

I keep seeing PVP people saying "you only need tier 6 for PVP" but this is ...not even remotely true? PVP is just scout ornicopters shooting at each other. I guess you could argue that you need MK6 copter parts, but that means all the other shit is useless. The way DD is currently implemented...
