    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I don't think the low actions per minute of melee toons in this game or EQ is fun at all if you are just sitting in a camp for hours. That is unless I have a second box running to keep me busy. On the other hand, when I played my rogue in EQ, 20+ years later, I still remember breaking into...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Yeah. I didn't know anything about her when she was a guest on Critical Roll and while the Critical Roll people are California leftists, the annoying/stupid shit was mostly contained to only two of the full time actors on the show. Even then, the worst they would do is some gay/trans backstory...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Have you experienced shaman slowing many thing? The shaman disco channel gave the impression that not only is stuff dying too fast to mess with it but it also causes a huge amount of hate. Seen the same criticism for DoTs. Although I assumed that it has more too do with most players being low to...

    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).

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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).

    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...

    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...

    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...
