    I didn't see anything that led me to believe the ET Virus had to be activated. In the first episode everyone starts acting under the virus's control as soon as they are infected and then they show the aircraft seemingly doing global aerosol dispersion. In the subsequent episodes, the only...

    I didn't play it on a PS anything. I don't buy consoles and I don't play consoles (usually), so keeping track of of the generations means nothing to me. I did "hack" one of my roomate's PS2 and pirated a bunch of games for it for a few years... so that's basically the default console I go to...

    It must have been Dark Souls 1 then, it was a long time ago, and since I didn't enjoy the game, there was no incentive to remember that many details outside of I hate constantly respawning trash and no story to be found. Again, I can write off a lot of the overall negative experience to shitty...

    Who you callin an EQ worshiper? I'm saying I did my time grinding for 10 lifetimes in EQ with hours on end of insta-death kiting if I fucked up (20 some years ago and I still am sick of the AA grind). Outside of a few bosses, Elden Ring as a mage wasn't harder than that (some Triumvirate boss...

    Figured "100 times" was a good round number to exaggerate for effect... My only real memory of Dark Souls 2 is going in completely blind on an emulated PS2 copy (also fuck any company that does exclusives), where all the tutorials are in PS2 controller, not M&K, and spending half of my ~4 hours...

    The whole game feels like a grind. "See that hall over there that you have to run through 100 times, well those 8 skeletons will be respawned EVERY SINGLE TIME you want to run though it." Fucking busy work that's not fun. "Want to know anything about the characters in the game? Well read this...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Competing for a spot on the 10 slot spell casting bar hurts Harm Touch as well. The 30/45 min cooldown that maybe does half of a normal, even con, mob's HP isn't going to save the day anything close to the amount of times Lay on Hands does/will. Sure, if a snare wears off and the stun/mez/grip...

    To add onto this. Clerics also get a damage soak bubble that is insta cast and not on the global recast timer (still has it's own short timer). So they should be the "best" healer, but not by that large of a margin. Which is needed, since the other two get stronger utility in haste(shm)...

    You can log onto the game, even if the test isn't active, and see your current characters and hit the campfire button to move around in a sandbox. Here are Human chain, human plate, and Wood Elf chain (forgot my rogue was Woody too):

    Short races are shit often due to armor models being meh and a too low PoV (they're also ugly... well dwarfs aren't turrable). I can't ever play them in any game I have tried for any amount of time. Ogres supposedly have clipping issues and of course fitting in place. Lack of easily available...

    It was a serious question. As far as I knew they were still doing security updates for the foreseeable future but I wouldn't put it past them to announce that they will be sending an update that tries to install win11. That or have it look like you must "upgrade" to Win11 and including a small...

    From what I watched of season 3 I rooted for Taliesin to die because he basically recreated the shitty Molly character again. I was also rooting for his character to die as well. Not sure if I will ever start season 4 since splitting it up looks like it was so they could get their diversity...

    Yeah, that lull was great for splitting camps, but it did get me killed a few times when trying to lull +4 or higher over level (also, bosses seem immune or maybe the gobo boss was high resists). I used the shit out of it until I found my Grip of Shadows spell on my SK, which trivializes...

    Yes and maybe. Druids only currently have two ports, one close to the zone line to Glass Flats in Sungreet and one at the Woody city. I got a druid up to 16 and didn't see an AoE spell outside of root. I didn't get high enough level to mess with druid charms (two boxed in the undead dungeons for...

    Supposedly Nick mentioned in the Dev stream, about halfway through the last test, that they will probably have at least one more test. Then, toward the end of the test, one of the other devs also said they would be doing another test, not sure if it was during a different stream or on Discord...

    Be aware that if you fail Bone Construct you can't get your corpse back until someone (else) kills it, or a necro summons it; at least that's what I read. According to Discord, he death touches anyone that tries to leave his room that is on his agro table, along with anyone over level 20. That...

    Don't know much about settling in, as I also don't care for sitting at the beach and shit like that, but a road trip would certainly see a lot of Americana.

    I talked to a lot of people just doing tradeskills and the chat is currently a nightmare. Especially with people who are used to modern chat and don't factor in easy to remember, spell, and type names when naming their character. My characters that I expected tells on were two syllables or less...

    She needs to be various levels of unlikeable to get people to sympathize more with how "great" the hive mind might be. Then they will slowly pull back the curtain, like @TJT says, and during that time she becomes more relatable to a wider audience.

    I think I used the Logitech G600 for 15+ years of WoW and it worked great (2 mice over that time period). If anything, the ring finger button was the most uncomfortable part of it and for normal games the thumb buttons could cause a bit of hand fatigue on the thumb (after 6+ hour gaming...

    unfortunate While I like having control over my own hardware, I would certainly look into switching to SteamOS if they release it for general use (hopefully before windows 10 stops getting security updates). Otherwise I will probably stay on Win10 for another decade. I play too many old games...
