    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    That's a good point. I lose interest in things way faster than I used to, but maybe that's not actually a bad thing. The best stuff (like Elden Ring) can still hold my attention. Went back and got a couple shots of the Deathbed Dress in the movie:

    PC is a huge blank for me up until 1999. Never gamed on one at all before that. Which leads me to the next thing I'm playing! Picked up Quake on the Switch. Very cheap (think it was $10) and PACKED. Has all four chapters, 3? expansions, and I think a new expansion that they made just for this...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    LOL, naw I'm good. I watched the first 2 at a friend's behest and then 3 to see if it held my interest. If this were ten years ago I probably would watch the whole series, but I don't have that same "finish everything I start" energy now. Are everyone's 30's this much of a downgrade?

    Hellraiser

    Yeah, same here. What jumped out the most to me was that the Cenobites are this Chaotic Neutral bunch who are neither good or bad, just explorers of the fringes of reality. That was an interesting premise that could go places. Then by the third movie onward they're reduced to generic slasher...

    Dark Souls

    You could also run through World 1 to get more healing herbs. They drop like crazy there. Each level drops higher-tier heals. The 1-1 heals get outclassed quickly but 1-2 and (if it's available) 1-3 drop good ones. I had to do that in my first run of Bloodborne. Farmed so many Blood Vials in...

    Well, it's a hidden gem in the modern (emulation) era. I never heard of it until recently myself and it seems to be having a bit of a resurgence in terms of classic game youtubers discovering it over the last couple years. Sega CD unfortunately had a pretty meager install base in-era, but I'm...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is kind of cool: Watched Hellraiser 2 for the first time, and in the third act, the hot main character ends up wearing what is very clearly the Deathbed Dress. Same cross-tie, same color, same low-cut back. Pretty sure that's where they got the design, given how influential the first two...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Yeah, this guy is great at either debunking or digging deeper, whichever the situation is more worthy of. Probably my favorite YT channel now. He doesn't just outright dismiss ideas, which some people will look at as some kind of endorsement of those ideas. But really, we shouldn't outright...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Re: Consciousness, that kind of ties into the idea that we're in a simulation. In that idea, UFOs aren't bound by our laws of physics/gravity because they aren't part of the simulation. And if us talking about them wills them into appearing more, that also ties into simulation theory. As far as...

    The only downside of Y5 is that it has a bunch of non-Kiryu characters and you might not know who any of them are having missed Y4, which'd probably take some wind out of the game's sails. Also I think you might have to buy the Y3/Y4/Y5 collection to get to it. I'd say plan on 0/1/2 and check...

    I've heard that the best D&D game for early consoles was Eye of the Beholder on Sega CD. Kind of a hidden gem that hardly anyone knows about. Later on you have stuff like Chronicles of Mystara and the big CRPGs. As far as like, pre-1998 D&D games go, Eye of the Beholder was top of the heap...

    Bought the Romancing Saga 2 Remaster on Switch, since I wanted something similar after Live-a-Live. $7 at the moment on eShop. Only an hour in but I can't say I recommend this one. There are no QOL improvements over the SFC version (and anyone who played the old SaGa games via fan translations...

    Doc prescribed me Abilify and Seroquel because of my raging ADHD and bouts of intermittently finding it hard to get things done. Previously got Adderall and stopped taking it because it gave me so much goddamn energy that it was straight-up impossible to sleep for 2-3 days. And that's on a 10MG...

    Nope. Commies are like spiders, they don't just forfeit their prey. They'll fabricate fake support and prop up movies like this before they'll ever admit that it isn't working. It's all part of a larger mission to spread the gospel.

    Yeah, Kiwami 1 and 2 are remakes of Yakuza 1 and 2. They're both REALLY good. I think Y0 and Y1 are the best one-two punch of story in the series. Y2 is the best-looking of the lot, I mean it looks amazing in action. Y3 and Y4 are significantly less upgraded visually and didn't get the full-on...

    Whoa. This is also one of the small group of "games I got at a flea market" from that early-00's era. Third Age, Thing, Predator: Concrete Jungle, Jade Empire, KOTOR1 and 2, Shadow Hearts 1 and 2, probably something else I'm forgetting. It's tough to go back to them graphically but at some point...

    Went to Gringo's Tacos in NYC (well, the Jersey City one). Got their world famous "Reaper Taco" Took literally one bite of it and was done. And I'm somewhat of an ultra-spicy food connoisseur. I keep a stock of Blair's Mega Death at home to dab on burgers, for crying out loud. Well, this one...

    Interesting how this is getting: 6/10 on IMDB user reviews 2.6/10 on Metacritic user reviews and yet 99% on RT user reviews Da fuq? And most of the positive RT user reviews are one-sentence posts from generic first names. I've never seen big tech try so hard to prop up failing products while...

    Whoever that SoM composer is, they're probably my third-favorite game composer behind Yasunori Mitsuda and Hitoshi Sakimoto. ...yeah I've never been as into Uematsu's work as other people, but he's probably #4 if it helps. I thought Octopath was an actual Square game, not a pseudo-indie Square...

    Finished Resident Evil 2, almost done with Live-a-Live on Switch, basically on the final chapter. Friend came over and got me to play Grand Theft Auto V for the first time. So now I'm playing that. Finishing the TLOU2 slog (which I'm about 25-30% of the way through) was next, but forget that...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Just had a thought, maybe someone who understands time better can follow up on it. First of all, I've always been of the opinion that the massive uptick in UFO sightings in the late 40's was a result of our nuclear detonations. Either because someone saw them and came for a better look, or...

    I bet this has something to do with that Nashville bomber who got completely memory-holed. As I recall, he blew up one of these "windowless skyscrapers owned by AT&T"

    I don't normally ever get hyped up over indie games (unless it's that Mother 4* project or AM2R) but I gotta say, this Trinity Trigger game has my attention. The music is SO GOOD and so similar to Secret of Mana that I'm wondering if it has the same composer. Also, ring menus and multiplayer...

    Been playing the Live-a-Live remaster. It's a good time if you like obscure Super Famicom RPGs. They changed very little from the original outside of the graphics which obviously got a big overhaul. This means that there are a few unpolished things, like the Prehistoric chapter generally being...

    The rumor right now is a buyout of Punk's contract because he doesn't want to come back to work if The Elite are there. He made 9.3 million in AEW since he joined, which is actually slightly more than he made in HIS ENTIRE WWE RUN. So he's literally pissing away ungodly amounts of money here...

    Yeah. The Why Files has algorithm issues too. Guy has like 550K subscribers and yet whenever I search for his channel on most devices, it doesn't pop up in the search bar until I type out the full name. And then his actual videos will start like 3 videos down, behind other people's videos...

    Still bugs me that they (totally unnecessarily) attached the Reunion title to CC instead of saving it for FF7R Pt 3 where it would have been the perfect title. I particularly love this track for some reason. Listened to it a lot in college.

    You're right, Moxley is on the top salary tier. I couldn't remember which one he was on. He was paid well above the EVPs in 2019 too. TK has everyone organized into tiers in terms of salary / importance, with extras/Dark staff at Tier 0 (pay per appearance). Nyla and Britt are the top tier for...

    Cobra Kai

    Goddammit, all the info I got on this was completely wrong. My bad, thought they had it on good authority. Why would the people involved even do something like this and not connect it, given Cobra Kai's popularity? Absolutely baffling. ...Who are you?

    What is this total word salad? Sounds to me like they're backpedaling hard and basically admitting this is a fantasy. Whatta shitshow.

    I think MJF wants to be paid somewhere in the neighborhood of what Cody Rhodes is making now. IIRC it's around 4-5M a year plus merch. Nobody knows what MJF is making currently but it isn't that. I'm going to guess 2M and that's being generous. If my info is correct, Cody Money is like "top 5"...

    This one is also good. He does a good job towing the company line of -don't talk about the scrum- even while "shooting". And even when freaking Helwani keeps going back to it. Guy isn't planning on going anywhere, but he really does want a bidding war to happen over him. If TK doesn't match...

    I played all the non-mainline games, so it feels like there's a lot of them. That's cool for people who are into it. I'm just a bit weary of the series. I vastly preferred the old style of FE, where the characters were less anime and more of a Suikoden-ish design. These new ones don't do much...
