    House of the Dragon

    My bad, I was speed reading the thread while watching TV, so I read it as a comparison between the twos perceived beauty after reading your post about Smith's part being androgynous.

    House of the Dragon

    Wat? People think that dude is attractive? When he was announced as the next Doctor Who, I lost what little interest I had left due to his weird fucking face.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I hates it. Fuck doing old raids and wiping to old bosses I have spent 6 months farming already, but for all yall complaining about old raids being obsolete with every patch, they put in a new system for you:

    Torrents

    Google Drive is the fastest/easiest free hosting service out there and there were ways to get around the download caps (Mega may be as fast, but not as easy). So, people hosted a whole slew of pirate content there for a long while (no need need to worry about a VPN or getting a strongly worded...

    Highlander

    A traditional handle doesn't look that hard to make. The main thing would be getting the wrapping correct. It might just take a couple times or ten to get something that passes muster. A good fitting pommel, guard, collars, and scabbard, on the other hand, is probably extremely difficult to...

    Highlander

    Durable? as in you want to hit shit with them? Used to work in a knife store while in high school and we kept those swords in stock; all of them were for show only. They will fall apart if you try to hit things with them very much (how many whacks before destruction depends on the target). Had...

    Fallout 4

    Outside of the mediocre small and unneeded extra chapters/locations that Beamdog added, the Enhanced Editions for Baulder's Gate and Planescape were mostly just taking what modders already did, and putting it into a single neat package that they could resell. I like Fallout 1 and 2 as they are...

    Fallout 4

    For New Vegas, there are so many mods, one should be able to find enough updates to make it tolerable. The problem, like with most mods, is just finding the ones you want to use and work well together. That process alone can take hours; so I usually try to find some mod pack lists (with reviews...

    What We Do in the Shadows

    Wat? The actor is a small time con man? Like what, a country club golf hustler? A card cheat? He chases dentists for a few bucks?

    Mark Cuban? He is a big name in Dallas, but the only things I know about him is that he has been the owner of the Dallas Mavericks for the last ~20 years and his Shark Tank shit. People seem to like him as a Basketball owner, but I don't watch basketball, so I wouldn't know. Shark Tank was...

    Interview With the Vampire

    Even if I wanted to watch this, AMC can fuck right off with their mid season breaks. After Better Call Saul is done, I am done with them. If they make another show that is good, I will stream it years after it is done.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I can live with high settings, so, maybe I should give a try then. It sounds like most the problems from release have been ironed out too. According to SteamDB, there have been a lot of 50% off sales, so it probably wont go much lower until they release a big DLC, and nothing like that is even...

    Total War: Warhammer

    If you have WH 1 and 2 on Steam it should allow you to choose the Mortal Empires map when you go to start a new game in WH2. If that's the case, then yea, Mortal Empires is probably the easiest to jump into. Just try to follow the objectives for short and long game wins. Lizardmen, High Elves...

    I guess you are unlucky with bugs. I have spent 90% of my time running mods in 1165 combined hours of WH 1/2 and I don't recall many bugs (there were probably some, but not frustrating enough to sear in an everlasting memory). The only broke game I can vaguely remember is when Wulfrik was...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Currently, the best game experience is probably one of the free lords or paid DLC races on the Warhammer 2 Vortex map. I really liked the Tomb Kings, but that's a bit pricy. So the next two easiest races are Lizardmen and High Elves. The Free DLC for them are (it has been some time, but I...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I don't really get why people are resistant to using mods. They don't break cheaves, and there are mods that do exactly this already. The one I saw (from months ago) sets the line at tier 3 settlements and regional capitals as the only maps that get siege battles. Additionally, mods like Steel...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I am hopeful that they can get this released by Q2 2023. Using classes released as a guide, while looking from the outside, they only have two left to implement (Monk & Paladin). Monk probably requires the most work, with unique fighting animations and mechanics. Paladin on the other hand...

    Tzeentch is invading from the Southern Waste, so a decent cover for a more interesting starting position? As for Nurgle, I didn't read any lore reasons for why he is in the middle (of mostly future expansion area). It is probably something like Slaanesh, in that some huge corrupting shrine or...
