Yeah, things can change very rapidly. When Biden jokes around about "I don't know if there will even be a republican party in 2024" I don't take it as a joke. One terror attack (or "terror attack") or conflict and they can quickly undo all of our norms, criminalize groups of people with...

What in the blue fuck

Some people really like the DS Zeldas, I'm just not one of them. If I'd played them in-era when they were more of a thing, alongside other people, I'd probably have liked them more. Instead I played them like ten years after the fact just because I wanted to finish the series, so it was work.

I'm still working on Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Game is horrible, so I'm here to warn people against it. Looks like a lot of comment sections on the game are full of people saying it's the worst Zelda game, or that it's their last one so they're playing it out of completionism/obligation. Which is...

I tell people they should get into this stuff because at the end of the day it's easier to figure out than the stock market and there's a lot of money to be made here. If someone can fuck up as much as I do and still break even, I imagine people who are experts (or have copious amounts of luck)...

Well, so much for our portfolio values. Even BTC isn't safe from government-created FUD.

I believe both prizes are random. So one is rolled between everyone who participated and one is rolled with more weight given to the people with more games. What helps me is that the contests came along at a time when I was already planning on clearing out as much backlog as I can...

Finished Scott Pilgrim vs The World. This has been on the backlog for years cause I love the movie. Well, the game is kind of medium, lot of bugs and whatnot but it has enough charm to get by. Was surprised to find that even though it's a beat-em-up, you pretty much have to level up to proceed...

Now that I think back on it, I think you're right about Dozekar. Wonder who the mom was. Also worth noting that Dozekar was originally a blue dragon and they changed him to a rust dragon a few months after Velious launched...no idea why, or if that's part of his lore. The fact that Dozekar is so...

That pose everyone is in at the end of the intro reminds me of the end of Bob Saget's "aristocrats" joke, for some reason.

I feel like Hitler-Fucking Game is one of the signs that we're entering the world of Idiocracy. Actually there's literally a show on TBS now that features a guy getting hit in the balls by all kinds of crazy objects. In any case, just beat Vanquish. What an awesome game, probably the most fun...

Oh that was just a rumor? The game is gonna be able to store like 10,000x the data that it's capped at now. Everything should run better, and in theory they can finally add new races/classes. Think the zone size potential will increase as well.

Yeah, they all took me 20+ and Souls 2 took like 48. I'm expecting Elden Ring to be similar length to that and think they downplayed the hours (probably doesn't count all the death).

I think Kerafyrm (he/him btw, IIRC) was just created because the devs wanted to create a ludicrously-OP mob just to rampage around and kill players. I got the feeling that a lot of the early EQ development revolved around "what can we design that'll kill people". Like when Kunark first came out...

I'm one of the people who also likes 2. It has the deepest and most interesting combat/gameplay, IMO. Also the best DLC, by far. Weird thing is, if someone's only gonna play two of them, I'd recommend 1 and 3. Rapture is a tremendous setting, Columbia is a tremendous setting, gotta see both of...

One of my GFs grew up on the cartoon, so she was very familiar with all the Pokemon without ever playing any of the games. She really wanted me to play one on the TV so she could watch it. This was 2016 so the Switch didn't exist yet. Best I had was Pokemon FireRed on a modded Wii with...

Yeah I wasn't crazy about Dynamax either. All it is is a giant transformation that completely generi-fies all of your Pokemon's abilities into general type moves. Boring. All the NPCs in Gen 8 make such a big deal about it for the whole game, all Dynamax-this and Dynamax-that. Well I say it's...

Well, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is coming out in four days. I have no idea if it'll be good or not, but it's described as "Pokemon meets BOTW" and you said he likes that, so it may be the best option. However it's also going to be the most "different" from traditional Pokemon out of all the ones...

Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing a Vanguard insanity playthrough of all 3 to plat them. Vanguard is so much fun. Still want to try Adept though, is there any one particular game where Adept excels?

That makes sense, because from the way SOL is moving compared to other dipped things, I'm not getting the impression that it has anywhere near the consumer confidence that the other major coins on my radar have. Looks like a lot more people are abandoning ship than buying the dip. I was THIS...

I'm kind of pissed that I missed 1.31 MATIC this morning. It's 1.51 now which would still be a deal, but 1.31 would have been *chef's kiss*. Solana has absolutely nosedived, down to 93 which is the lowest I've seen it. 82 this morning. Has taken by far the biggest dumpus of any of the major...

It always gets me when people who rail on the MSM for their dishonest bullshit turn around and cite the MSM when it agrees with them. "They're wrong in everything else, but not on this one thing". Regardless, looks like the crypto markets took a massive dump early this morning, probably in...

Naw, you have way more than enough on your plate already! The Bioshocks aren't really puzzle games though. They're more like the Metroid Prime series, sort of first-person adventures. I like the first two and their focus on booby traps and strategy of that nature (or you can just bulldoze...

Leadership AAs might be some of what I was thinking of as well, because I grinded all of them. Completely maxed-out leader AAs. It was a good impetus to start my own groups constantly, which is how I got anything done back then.

Just noticed I'm coming up on my 50th platinum trophy. It'll probably be either Code Vein or Rift Apart, maybe GOTG if I can find it. Time for a quick trip down trophy memory lane: Fallout 4 not being at a full 100% really bothers me. Like a lot. I need to find out what I'm missing and go do...

Guardians of the Galaxy was on my shortlist for this challenge, but I can't find the game anywhere! Got it like two months ago at half price and didn't get to it in the first contest. It has completely poofed. I know it's around here somewhere, and I gotta say, this is pretty bizarre. I've never...

Looking at that raidloot link for AAs, it's amazing what a difference class makes in AA totals. For example, Monk/Rogue/Zerker have around 900 AAs from Underfoot, while Ranger/Paladin/SK are in the 1600 area. I jotted down the totals across the board for Bard since they seem to be the most...

I'd like to see one normal and one experimental server each time around. One with a 4x baseline exp modifier worldwide, a "try different classes" server where you're encouraged to reach max level and reroll and try everything. I don't think there has been a server like that before. People will...

There are some pretty big quest-related reasons for Freeport staying the way it is, plus those zones would look super-dated if reverted. What they could do is revamp all of those zones AGAIN and give them the exact same layouts they had originally, only with modern visuals / polygon count, add...

Huh, I don't know why I thought there were around 400. I must be thinking of OoW, since I played through OoW and GoD in the same timeframe, hit max level and started AAing in WoS. So the two blend together for me to an extent. PoP and Luclin both also have WAY more AAs than 160. The devs were in...

A lot of regular group-level players couldn't get any use out of GoD past Natimbi, too. So the whole expansion was just a muddy beach with stonemites for those people, setting foot in Qinimi or even the steps outside of it was basically just death. I guess Abysmal Sea had its uses for those...

In the immortal words of Scott Pilgrim, "now I'm sad!" You make some sound points here though. Looks like some rocky days are ahead. I still fully believe that by 2024/2025 we're going to see a price surge unlike any before following the next Bitcoin halving. It'd be nice if we got the normal...

How I'd do it: 2022: Luclin Remake Pt 2 (Mayong) 2023: PoP Remake Finale (Loruella, Earth/Water) 2024: Muramites return (not a GoD remake, but something vaguely similar with them invading Alaris or something) with the 4th and final Rider as the endboss. I'd have the first zone of Alaris be the...

You're a bitch for all this. I'm just kidding, I agree. They did a pretty good job with the Kunark remake and I think a lot of people were happy to get a fleshed-out version of Kunark with tons of quests, etc. The quality level went way downhill for the Velious remake, especially the back half...

I'm just gonna put this out there, the BIC quest was the best quest I've ever done in EQ. That alone makes GoD a worthwhile expansion. Though admittedly I haven't done the Artisan's Prize or some of the bigger tradeskill quests (Eron's Jewelry, Aid Grimel) but I doubt they've got anything on...

How do you get all your GoD AAs on day one? Bank 130 beforehand and Deep AOE for ten hours? IIRC there are like 400 AAs for the average class in GoD. If that's a "get all your AAs on day one" expansion then so are PoP and Luclin. Edit: Nevermind, I'm wrong

Don't have any screenshots for the loss porn, but I'm down about 62% in my entire crypto portfolio since October. I mean everyone's down a fair amount right about now but I also rode the Shiba Slide for 3 months before this.

You never lose money until you sell, but you lose time by staying in something that isn't working. Over the 4 months or so that I sat in SHIB while it lost value, I could have been trading in various other things that were all gaining value. Also I'm trading pretty emotionlessly. Weirdly...

That'd be pretty interesting, flip everything on its head. I hope the Alex Jones guy on the TV turns out to be right about whatever he was saying in that one blurb.

I should just take off and sell all my ETH from orbit. It's the only way to fix everything. Edit: I did it, but it probably won't accomplish much. MATIC at 1.60 right now is a pretty good long-term buy, probably a lot better than ETH's price point, who knows though. Gonna see what everything...
