    Dragon Quest: The Definitive Thread

    Very slowly going through DQ5 now. It's even better than I remember, and I remember it being great. They kept the story/character focus of DQ4 so I don't think there are any classes here, but it's okay. The story it tells is pretty damn good and doesn't pull any punches. It's basically DQ4 on...

    What's your beef with Cody? Got 4 Ninjas, so now the game becomes more like the original Dragon Quest. I can go anywhere and do things in any order while powering up and finding equipment, so the second half of the game should be a lot more fun than the first half. The first half was just...

    Beat Astos, the real final boss of this type of run. I'm guessing four Black Belts would also run into serious issues with this guy. Now I get the 3 special swords with the mystic key, eke out a win over Lich, and run away from everything till I get Ninjas.

    It would be funny if that happened and people had level 115 loot rotting in their bank for the next couple years. This isn't without precedent. They prematurely released Gnome Memorial Mountain on Phinny along with other servers even though the loot from it wasn't usable until TBL and we were...

    I'm told that level 18 is probably the lowest you can think about beating Astos. I'm at level 9. Luckily, it turns out that part of the beach near Astos' Castle has enemies from the Melmond area (so not POPower levels, but a go-between) that significantly speeds up this part of the grind. I'll...

    Man, this has to be the hardest 4-character challenge in FF1. I can't imagine 4 White Mages is worse than this, at least that group can heal. It's worse than 3 Goof-Offs in DQ3 but actually somewhat comparable, only without a ringer Hero to carry things a bit. 4 Thieves have like not a lot going...

    Here's my new salt collection. I don't really know which ones to use for what. They were all tested on steak and they're all good. I like the truffle salt the least, and I probably didn't need to get Fleur de Sel either because it's a bit redundant with the Celtic salt. The pink salt has a...

    Not only that, Charlotte was heavily-advertised as the star attraction of the house show in her home town. So she bailed on a show she was the main draw for. With her husband #AllElite and her father about to be, I'd say there's a big risk of her jumping except for one thing: WWE has plans for...

    Update. Turns out that Thief in FF1 Pixel Remaster isn't bad at all. At the beginning it's about as strong as Fighter was in the original (while Black Belt is stronger and Fighter is way stronger). So I grinded to level 5 or so flying through enemies with ease before I stopped. It was waaaaay...

    What are the benefits of a salt lamp? I found one, missing the base. Was thinking of getting a base for it so it's actually usable as, ya know, a lamp. It looks kind of cool I guess. I'm equally likely to just give it away though. Edit: In other salt news, I spent $30 on salt in the last two...

    Yeah, how'd you know? Fleur de Sel is the other French one, not the one that smells vaguely like feet. Fleur de Sel is alright, not much different from Himalayan. Seems like the main difference between all of these is the texture, as was pointed out by someone earlier. Only one left to try is...

    I tried some more of the truffle salt from France. It...has a weirdly foot-like taste that I've noticed. It's slight, and almost unnoticeable. I've licked enough women's feet to know that taste though. Not sure if this is normal. Maybe the salt was mined by barefoot, sweaty French people. The...

    Just looking at a few posts from 2015. I feel like the original plan for 2014 in general was to have Batista win the Rumble, win the title from Orton at Wrestlemania, and fight Brock in an epic struggle at Summerslam. Bryan was a total afterthought. Once the audience rejected Batista, they added...

    GTA4 is the one I haven't played much of. Took a few whacks at it earlier this year and it's definitely a solid game, just hard to go back to PS3 visuals now. Also the lack of checkpoints in missions was already getting irritating just a couple hours in. Dying mid-mission and having to start the...

    Yeah, Brit is a fucking goddess now. I think a lot of it is her "give no fucks" attitude and smarmy heel-ness, which usually makes women hotter (see Trish Stratus) Also I'm starting to wonder if TNA has something on Tony Khan because I feel like AEW has done a lot more to help TNA than...

    Anyone watching AEW Rampage tonight? I really like the match graphics that they're using, clearly Street Fighter inspired. Sidenote, anyone know how to download a video thumbnail? Cause the thumbnail of this video is one of the best AEW shots I've seen lately and I'd send it to a few people...

    Thanks for all the input. I got Celtic salt and Truffle salt (France, mined). They seem different enough from one another. The store had another French salt with a weird name that was more coarse, might go back and try that, just wasn't sure if it was too similar to Celtic salt that it'd be...

    In retrospect, I would have also thought it was wacky to play OG Souls2 again just for a plat. Not gonna lie, once I got it rolling and saw how bad the framerate was, I definitely had second thoughts on wasting time on it. Worked out, though.

    No wonder my mom bought me like one game every 6 months when I was growing up. They were like $70 or $80! I remember Breath of Fire 2 in particular being one she just said no to because they priced it so high. Adjusted for inflation it's even worse. That's been striking me a lot the last few...

    So wait, is this how pet pulling works?

Is the Taunt the thing that makes the pull work...

    I've always liked EQ's looseness (read: bugginess and exploitability), even things as simple as being able to levitate onto the Qeynos or (old) Freeport zone walls and look off into a big space of nothingness. One of the reasons I never got that into WoW is that it felt so restrictive in...

    This series is better if you like Akira Toriyama art designs and old-school RPG mechanics. If you weren't into XI I'm not sure if you'll like the others. VIII is probably the best one to give a shot to, though. I was like that too, not being able to control your character was just weird to me...

    I never noticed the DoDH bump, probably because I never played a new character during those eras, just AA'd at 70. I do remember DoDH zones themselves being really good AA exp compared to previous expansions and chalked that up to the zones themselves having higher modifers. Never noticed the...

    I stand corrected, maybe Dragon Quest V wouldn't have been as much of a license to print money as I thought. It looks like RPGs didn't start becoming a successful genre in the U.S. until 1994 or 1995, and even then it was mainly Squaresoft that had said successes. Americans gave DW a try, but...

    IIRC GoD and TSS both have huge exp bumps. There are other smaller bumps elsewhere, apparently. However those two are the big ones.

    So you have to get another class to 50 and then you can class-change into RDM? I like what I've heard about how FF14 lets you level up multiple classes on one character. I've always wanted an MMO like that. I'll probably run Black Mage to 50 then switch.

    All of this streamer drama is retarded. What's the best class to play as? Had my eye on Red Mage for a while because it got added later so it must be pretty good. Also I love Red Mages in general.
