    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I agree. FF16 would be a day one buy for me if it were still using some kind of turn based or ATB combat system like FF1-10. I even liked 12 and 13's systems with the gambit type system. I liked 13 more than most, once you get used to it it plays quite well. The classes are basically command...

    System Shock Remake + 3?!?!?

    Sounds like the PS5 version (what I'm waiting for) still doesn't have a release date or even a window. Damn.

    Pest Control

    Whacked another one a little while ago and this one looked a little more like a fruit fly. Most of them look like gnats. It might be a combination. So weird that all of them showed up at once over the span of a couple days, went from zero to "all over the place". There's no fruit, standing...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    It's crazy how many people don't know about this. You can send mass-invites to a raid, a group, or a task/mission with a drop-down menu in the guild window, which is super useful. So when one is getting repeatedly invited to something, it might not be a personal invite, it might be general...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I've played almost all of them though. FFs I haven't played yet: FF14 FF11 FF Crystal Chronicles FF4: After Years 3D Which of those is the greatest of all time?

    Pest Control

    I was just thinking about how I could bring in a bunch of spiders to deal with this problem. However that's sort of like letting commies take over just to get rid of your fascists. I just compared some shots on a search and I THINK these are indeed gnats. Probably about 80% sure of this. I'll...

    Pest Control

    Not sure. Which one of those is faster-moving? Cause these dodge my swings with ease. I haven't noticed these being attracted to lights. I'd love to get that zapper...if it works. This should work for discouraging them from hanging around. However I don't want to discourage them, I want to...

    Pest Control

    Don't see a thread for this kind of subject so I guess I'll make one. Kitchen of the current place I'm renting has a sudden gnat problem. Was fine for several months, now the kitchen is suddenly full of gnats overnight. Not sure what brought them in. I did leave the windows open (screened) at...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I'm just doing FF4 3D because it has the only superboss in the whole series that I haven't beaten yet (Proto Babil). Also it's pretty easy to farm in a phone game when in waiting rooms or on a plane or whatever the case may be. Any kind of downtime = have something to do, load up the farming...

    Castlevania

    Watched seasons 1 and 2 more or less straight through with a friend cause it was new to both of us. It was either this or Dragonball Super. In any case, it's definitely some quality animation and so forth, but I wasn't super into it as a Castlevania series veteran. Tone was all over the place...

    The Astronomy Thread

    More incredible stuff from these guys. Except every time I see their latest tech, I imagine the Pentagon and the military deepstate are licking their chops to get ahold of said tech to find military uses for it. Used to be military conflict drove technological achievement, now it's the military...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    God help me 1/128 or so chance per battle in this version via unlimited Sirens. A lot better than FF4 SNES/SFC having like a 1/4000 chance, but a lot worse than the Pixel Remasters being like a 1/25 chance. Not sure what motivated them to make all of these tails and drops so rare. If you want...

    Weren't you in one of the first groups to 50? Definitely saw you in the leading pack early-on. Wonder if I have any 50%'s lurking in /claim for next year. Have barely been on since like, last Sept so not sure.

    Probably fake. That said, I'm not looking forward to remakes or re-releases of Metroid Fusion or Super removing the death animation.

    I wouldn't pay $40 for Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition. I think I got it for like $18 on Ebay. PS4 version. Plays fine. Definitely higher-res than the original. Think of HD ports of N64-era games like Turok HD, Quake HD, Doom HD, the Switch version of KOTOR, etc. It looks like those. I.e...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Did you miss the part where I said "some of it is really good (Swords/Shields)"? Also me wanting 3 Ribbons kinda indicates that I know the Onion Shield grants status immunity (two out of five chars can equip it though, so the other 3 need Ribbons) The helm giving 33 Speed is one big thing it...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I've seen people online complain about the progress loss and having to worry about losing experience points or whatever. And I'm like...dude, that's one of the things that makes the game so exciting to play.

    What are you playing?

    Yep. NES, SNES, PS1, and PS2 generations all look significantly better on a CRT than an HDTV at this point. I'm actually finding PS2 games kind of hard to play because their visuals look so bad now, and have a few I want to like LOTR Third Age and Dragon Quest 8. Maybe eventually I'll get an...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    What I'm getting is that Onion gear largely kind of sucks unless you're level 99, then some of it is really good (Swords/Shields) but some still aren't as good as other things even at 99 (the helm, armor, and rings are useless). Anyway I'll get two Onion Swords for Cecil/Kain to go with the...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Man, it took an age and a half to get two Onion Shields for Cecil and Kain. They're a little underwhelming. Maybe they get way better over level 90 like they do in FF3 3D? @Gavinmad Think it's worthwhile to farm Onion Helms for Cecil/Kain/Edge? Everyone else is pretty much covered on those...

    What are you playing?

    Here's what I got that was pretty expensive. It's a modded 3DS that's region-free and includes a bunch of 3DS games. Seems to cost, at minimum, like $500 for something like this but TBH it was actually worth it. Edit: It also has a capture card soldered on and can be connected to a computer for...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Kain really makes Cecil his bitch on multiple occasions in this game doesn't he? Coming up on the endgame and girding my loins for farming. Here's my farm plan. Not gonna bother with most of the tails: 1st run: Pink Tails (5) or however many I can stand farming 2nd run: Just gonna plow...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Traveled quite a bit the last couple days and finally got around to plowing some FF4 3D. This is actually really good, though you need to follow a guide pretty closely on augments. So many are missable, or have to go to specific people to make later builds work, that it becomes a bit of a...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Time passes differently in Japanese games. Maybe it's like how 17 year olds are hardened combat veterans. As for Yang's wife, I thought she was old and was making a funny. Not sure she's actually supposed to be hot...

    What are you playing?

    Can it play DS or 3DS? You mentioned Pokemon, guessing that means the GB and GBA ones. Just spent a hefty sum to get a modded 3DS, in large part to play those.

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    I imagine something like that could be doable at some point. Think of how weird it'd be for the astronaut doing it. Zap forward at some high speed, not knowing how much time is going to actually pass until you do it. Maybe you end up 3000 years in the future or maybe 3 days. It'd be pretty...

    What are you playing?

    Xenogears looks pretty rough and pixellated on a TV nowayears, but I imagine it'll still look really good on a smaller screen like this. I wish they'd remake it instead of doing more Xenoblade, but it seems like that isn't in the cards. How much did this device cost? How many games / what...

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

    Okay this part has me flipping out a bit. Is that supposed to be a human face or a Grey alien type face? Could go either way cause those could be big eyes or they could be sockets. The nose looks like a formed nose though (i.e. not skeletal). If this was left there by ETs, was it a...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    lol yeah I was just seizing the opportunity to go on about Mearatas. Talking about that raid is like talking about a memorable game from highschool football back in your glory days. How is Oakwynd treating people? Is it as bad as people expected? I popped on EQ for 5 minutes to check it out...

    Rajaah's CRPG Blog

    Yeah, NV had the best DLC, maybe ever. That and FO3's DLC (which I think is the second best) pretty much single-handedly got me into DLCs. Unfortunately they also set the bar really high. Some games have had great single DLCs like Dark Souls, but when it comes to a set of DLCs that all serve a...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Hell yeah, I was hoping they'd draw some Fromsoft for this one. Souls atmosphere would fit the Zelda world really well in some places. Twilight Princess was kind of a half-hearted attempt at giving us a dark Zelda game so it's still something I'd like to see.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Except there was no joint raid, unless someone wants to count a couple guests as another guild. In which case plenty of raids have been "joint raids" over the years likely unbeknownst to their leaders. I think a lot of the confusion comes from OGC publicly thanking Rosengard and giving them...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Are there any soft skips for FF4 3D? Also how kissable is Yang's Wife? Not many women are so loyal that they'd give your friends a frying pan to beat you over the head with when you're in a coma.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Not really, there was a lot of misinformation flying around about it. We had something like 47 OGC there and 5 people from Rosengard who were friends of people in OGC (cause by that time in the server life, who cares, bring friends). I wouldn't call it a joint raid by any means, as we were the...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    Yeah, I know what you meant, not sure why people are giving you grief for the time travel part. It was just an idea. Who knows who took the Masamune, and it's exactly what a time traveler would do. Most likely it was just someone posing as a US rep and it's hidden somewhere in a private...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    I think a lot of that is almost inevitable. I'm not even gonna try to pretend that I wouldn't spend most of my time in a VR holodeck if it existed. I think it'd basically destroy society. I 100% expect the suddenly-ideological medical system to have way too much control in the future. Medical...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Just to clear this up, one guild did defeat Mearatas in-era on TLP and that's OGC. Was there, best fight I've ever had in EQ. When we finally got it the execution was nearly flawless, outside of Robnie fucking up one emote so we got 2/3 achievements. On Phinny we only got two months with that...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    IIRC the 75 Agi does make a big difference at low levels cause it keeps you from slowing to a crawl when you get knocked down to critical health. So it isn't just the AC bump that makes it beneficial. This is IIRC however and it's something I haven't checked in ages, might not be like that...
