    Dredd 2 (2027 for Sure This Time!)

    If we did get a Dredd 2, who should play Judge Death? And what about Judge Rico? WE JUST GONNA SKIP JUDGE RICO?

    All the stuff I watched the last couple weeks. Edit: Lowered a few of these ratings because I was way too generous the other day. The Killing Joke - This was basically two episodes of Batman: The Animated Series put together, or at least that's how it felt. The first half was "Batgirl The...

    The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023)

    So this is a villain origin story about the younger version of President Donald Sutherland? Could be interesting, I guess. Villain origin stories can be good. That "diversity casting" chick people are moaning about is hot. I can't even tell what ethnicity she is, could be from a bunch of...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Do it. Each one will be faster. 8 different classes for variety, or just Mage/Monk on loop to get it done faster? All the bonuses poofing when a new expansion comes out is so dumb and renders the whole thing pointless outside of a personal challenge like this.

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I've beaten FF3 on the NES multiple times at middling levels, I know the terror of it. The fact that the boss just spams it is pretty obnoxious. And woe to people who are coming off of clearing the whole dungeon(s) with autosave. The "final dungeon" is basically four dungeons in a row, but you...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Man, finally done with FF3. Got the platinum at about 17 hours. Rest was maxing out levels, which even cranked up to x4 exp took way too long. Not sure why high levels in FF3 take so much longer than the others. No one even got 9999 HP! I kinda regret bothering to do the level-maxing but at...

    Yeah I looked stuff up for sure. Once I spent a couple hours trying to find a second Rope I was pretty much doneski. It isn't 1997 anymore when I can spend weeks / dozens of hours on a single retro game. In other news, got some new ones: These two (and the two Fallouts) would be perfect for...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Done with FF3 and 4 pretty much, maybe have another hour of each. 17 hours on FF3 and 15 on FF4 to get the plats. The first two barely broke 10 hours so they're stepping up. Final party in FF3 was Ninja x2 / Sage x2 but I think I would have been better off with Ninja x3 and a Devout. FF3 takes...

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

    Yeah that's pretty shitty. I live next to a great big river with walking paths and whatnot, and the river is full of swans and ducks that go onto land and walk around in the grass near the trails. They chill with people and are just generally cool. I've always been worried that one day some...

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

    This reminds me of Dyatlov Pass. People with missing tongues and eyes, yet no signs of struggle or foul play. They should probably check these cows with a geiger counter and see if there's radiation on them like the Dyatlov corpses. If other scavengers were steering clear of the corpses, maybe...

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

    I think these craft/drones/etc are a lot like Global Warming. Our politicians don't really know how to grasp the issue or make sense of it, much less actually do anything about it. So for the most part they're just looking for ways to grift off of it while making the peasants think that they...

    The AEW International Title is intended to be like the old WWF Intercontinental Title in that it's the "workhorse" title held by guys who can go and who are in theory on their way to the main event. TNT Title was originally supposed to be defended every week (so a television title) but that...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Legacy and Atlantica will be the guilds with some longevity that do decently well. Particularly Atlantica due to cornering the Euro market. Rosengard III hung in there on Phinny right up until OGC was the last standing. OGRE will be the batphone guild that could be dominant but is just as...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    FF2 has a really really good boss theme (that I think started with the PS1 version Origins). I like the SaGa elements of character leveling. It's the weakest of the lot but it isn't terrible, especially with the new boosts. It's good to play for completion's sake. FF2 is something you gotta just...

    Roman might as well go for Bruno's record now (which means sparse defenses) if there'll be a second title that will actually be defended regularly. However the audience is going to see this as a distant second, unimportant title, as well they should, due to having no lineage and basically being...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I assume the expansion will be around the two year anniversary of the game, so February 2024, and that they've been working on it the whole time. Going off of the release windows of other Fromsoft DLCs in the past. This one is also gonna be significantly bigger than any other Fromsoft DLC...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yeah go with the boosts. In other games they generally aren't necessary (maybe 2x for FF3) but I'd say in FF2 crank all the boosts to max and turn on HP compensation. Makes the game a lot more enjoyable cause you don't have to worry about stuff anymore and basically just level normally. From...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yeah the GBA remake super bosses were easy. Was never a fan of that version of the game, lot of slowdown and lag for whatever reason. As for FF4 DS, trying to remember if I took down Geryon and Proto-Babil or not. About 80% sure I did. I remember doing a lot of tail-collecting of multiple...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yep. Far as I can tell you can spawn everything in the endgame except for the mobs from Zot/ToB/GoB. So basically those 4 areas (ToB has two segments on two visits) are the only thing one really needs to "worry" about, rest can be cleaned up later pretty easily. The only issue is that there are...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yep, FF3 is taking waaaay longer than 1 and 2. I got about halfway through it and then detoured back to FF4. So I guess I'm bouncing between 3 and 4. Once they're both done I'll focus solely on 5 and I'm looking forward to only working on one. I got to thinking about how FF5 is probably my...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The reason that happens is probably because new players hear all the game journalist griping and bitching about how hard the game is, so they're conditioned to expect something that whoops their ass, so when they go over the wrong bridge and end up in hell, they think it's normal despite that it...

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    You sound like my first girlfriend. "What do you get from beating a game?" she moaned while simultaneously wanting me to either work more to appease her parents, or spend more time with her while she complained about me not working more so she could complain about me not being around enough if...

    Something Awful, there's a name I haven't seen in a bit. Anyone ever play Awful Fantasy 3? Heard it was a pretty awesome FFVI romhack in its day that spawned from the SA forums, totally forgot about it until just now.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think Caelid is singularly responsible for a ton of the "Elden Ring is too hard" articles/posts/memes and whatnot. Where should Caelid fall in the progression? I think after Altus Plateau but before Mountaintop. So probably like... Mt. Gelmir / Volcano Manor / Imperial Capitol tier? Maybe...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    It feels good to have all these in one place on a modern system like this. I pretty much just used attack spells and heal spells throughout, didn't really bother with status effects. Temper + Haste turns melee characters into full-on beastmode though.

    Women gain weight a lot faster than men do. They can lose it pretty fast too. The unhappily married girl who divorced her husband when we got together went from about 135 to 110 in 3 months. When we first got together she was a bit heavier than I'd like but got by on her personality and...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Same thing happened to me. I reloaded an autosave and did it again, same thing. You have to fight a battle and use it in that battle. For me it was the Roundworm, so it might have to be a boss IDK probably not. After that battle the trophy popped. (I got Cure to 16 outside of battle, THEN used...

    Done with FF2, that took about 10 hours. 2 on Weds (after the FF1 plow) and about 4 each yesterday and today when I was busier. FF4 messing up the order cause I tried it out for a bit, but it'll get reordered and straightened out. Anyone else even playing these, or are we just buying them to...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Looks like in the Pixel Remasters, enemy drop calculations are done for all enemies onscreen. In the past, FF4 would pick one enemy out of the battle and then do the drop calculation for that enemy. So a 4x Pink Puff fight was a 1/64 chance of getting a tail, but now it would be 4/64 or 1/16. I...

    Damn, this looks good. I gotta get ahold of Blasphemous 1. Looks like a combination Soulsborne+Metroidvania which are basically my two favorite genres at this point, plus the world and boss designs are incredibly unique.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yeah I'd rather see a TLP every six months instead of two every 12 months. Just do the same thing only spaced differently. Wanted to play on Yelinak some, but it conflicted with others. Also, this way you'd get one in like mid-November which would be great for people going into the holiday...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I'm guessing that was the item that was originally called Whistle, and summons the rare mob for your area once. I might do the grind normally to shoot for level 99 (you need 70+ for 100% anyway) given how quickly I was able to get 99 in the SNES version in that room. Then when I get up to...

    The D&D thread

    Can only murderhobo in games that allow it. Usually just CRPGs. Nothing like being at the end of my rope with a game and just murdering everyone in sight. I'll reset the save if I have to, or just beat the game like that and get a bad ending. What's up with the race/species thing? Aside from...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Took about an hour for me, then I got him twice in five minutes (kept fighting there 'cause everyone was like 95 and I figured I might as well finish off 99). It really is completely random. On the NES it was 1/64 odds and when you entered the room there was a "probability counter" with 64...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Got the FF1 platinum last night, about 2 hours after I finished the game. Was a very easy plat because nothing was missable and it tells you exactly where you missed chests. Be halfway thorough while going through the game and you might not even have to do clean-up. Looks like all the other...

    Throne of Bhaal beaten (last weekend), so Baldur's Gate series is dooooone. Aerie got preggers right before the final battle. She actually broke up with the MC and then they got back together. Didn't play long enough to see the Item Baby. Dragon models in this game are pretty awesome. This...
