I got the impression all of them took place in the span of like a month or so, basically one after another rapid-fire. Even him losing his wife happened like a week before the first movie, IIRC. If I'm right, then JW4 is like a few weeks removed from him losing his wife.

After a couple weeks of tooling around in the Underdark (and barely playing), I'm finally out of Chapter 5. I have mixed feelings on it. On one hand that was the most annoying chapter in any of the BG games. Being a drow errand boy got so tedious, and I was lost half the time since every time I...

This part was hilarious. I had to basically tell her I was a eunuch to get her to back off. Dark Elf women don't mess around. Even being "taken" didn't remotely dissuade her. Was worth it to keep Aerie from having a nervous breakdown listening to hot dark elf banging in the next room.

I don't see how having multiple races with different stats/acumen causes "harm" to anybody. And I'm 100% sure the people saying it causes "harm" are all white people speaking for other groups. And I've also been cognizant for a while that referring to words and concepts as "harmful"...

Wick not murdering that bald Karen adjudicator from JW3 was a big missed opportunity in 4.

I think the only thing left for a John Wick 5 was him going after the High Table itself and wiping out all 12 of them (11 now? Was that guy in the desert a member?) I expected that to be the situation for JW5 after he dealt with Donnie Yen and the Marquis in JW4. But now he doesn't need to go...

I liked how completely over the top the series got. It reminds me of rhe Highlander universe, except with real-world explanations for why things are the way they are (as opposed to Highlander's "cause it's magic" explanations). Things like Holy Ground and being challenged to duels makes a lot...

They hate Pratt because he's a white Christian man who isn't shy about talking about how much he loves God and his church and stuff. Also he didn't participate in any of the Marvel star anti-Trump circle-jerks, so people assume he must be a republican to boot. I have no idea if he is or not, but...

There isn't one, except that it's there and it's the rarest item in the series. I never got Excalibur II in FF9 either. Some things just ain't worth it on a first run. I'll definitely play FF1-4 once they're out. 5 and 6 are a lot bigger so those are prolly gonna be at some point later on.

In Final Fantasy II: Leila, Leon and Scott are left-handed. In Final Fantasy IV: Kain and Palom are left-handed. Yeah, there are no shortcuts in the 16 bit version. You farm a 1/4300 battle item and like it. That's how it'll be in the PR as well most likely.

Man, in 11 days my poor CRPG Crusade is gonna have to go on pause for a couple months. Hopefully I can get Baldur 2 and FO1 done by then cause I'd hate to leave them hanging midway through. A few bits of advice for this series: FF1: -If you're gonna do any grinding in this game, do it early...

Yeah, unarmed + shield is the way to go. Just be sure you properly switch it around for the left-handed characters. I steamrolled FF2 on the PS1 (Origins) version a while back by doing this. I'm gonna assume the DS version has much higher drop rates for Pink Tails if you were able to get 5 of...

For anyone wondering about trophies: https://www.truetrophies.com/n22553/final-fantasy-pixel-remaster-trophies PS4 version is most likely going to be the same or very similar trophy sets to these lists. Interesting and logical sets here, though I'm a bit concerned about the "Get 100% of the...

This has a lot of potential for longevity, and if they were gonna do an "experimental mechanics" server I'd much rather see it be something like this. Perhaps add an "expansion flag dude" to Commonlands tunnel who you have to talk to after beating any particular final boss in order to chronicle...

Her - Really good Joaquin Phoenix movie where he plays a guy in love with an AI chat program (voiced by Scarlett Johannson). Lot of heart-felt moments in it and whatnot. The first hour actually made me kind of sleepy, then it picks up a bit in the second hour. Thought it might turn into a horror...

Good point about height, in pictures you always want to be taller than the people around you and I guess the objects too. I don't think height matters as much as the internet thinks it does (I've known some very successful short and medium guys) but when you're looking at initial attraction...

They're probably not holding back any great ideas, yeah. Thing is though, what players want is so readily obvious that it defies belief that they aren't going that route, unless they're saving things for an occasion and want it to be a big deal at that point, doing experimentation in the...

I mean me getting beat up by a Navy chick isn't as impressive as you getting beaten off by African tribesmen, so I defer to you.

Oh yeah, good point. The FF4 that I posted such a low time on was the SNES version. This one is gonna be the SFC version and significantly tougher. 7 hours, 10 hours... I don't remember exactly what my time was. Just that I reached the final boss with a single-digit time and I wasn't even...

Maybe someone should do a Prydain Chronicles thread in the Book House, IDK. Lot of stuff from that series to get into. This jogged my memory about the beginning of The High King and now I remember it a bit more. First book Taran is a kid, second he's a kid on an adventure with a sense of...

Yeah, I exagerrated. FF1 PR and FF4 SNES took me like 12 and 8 hours respectively on a replay a few years ago, both were waaay shorter than I remembered. I didn't play any of the others at the time. If sub-10 on FF4 is so unbelievable, maybe I'll set a day aside and do it again.

Yeah, these are pretty close to the originals. They don't have the optional dungeons and super bosses that got added in later (DS and PSP) versions, which is sometimes a bad thing and sometimes doesn't matter. They look like the originals, just sharpened up and wide-screen. Worth getting all of...

I mean, I beat FF4 in like one workday last time I played it. The SNES version is really easy outside of the final boss. I'd go take a picture of my final time, but I went and farmed Pink Puffs for about 16 more hours (and never got their drop)

I bet "I gave up on the first level" represents like 30-45% of the Returnal playerbase. It's a shame that the game doesn't do a better job letting people actually get into it. I enjoyed it (on the like, 5th attempt over the years when I finally had a winning strategy) but I can't really...

Bards have the runspeed and kite ability to run things around and tie down zones. As far as instas go, Bellow is very insta and range. Whenever that is (not classic AFAIK).

I'm thinking about running a Paladin with 17 Monks as backup. But seriously, someone said "blue balls" and that's true, I was all ready to come back and try a Paladin. Hopefully they change things up substantially.

It might actually be the case that the 25th will be the TLP(s) that they put everything into / take everything they've learned from the others and make one or two super-TLPs that combine the best of the good servers into one big idea. Mischief + slightly slower Selo + no boxing restrictions +...

I don't know, maybe they saw all the sycophants on the live board responding to criticism from people like me with "Rajaah just wants Vaniki to be ezmode!" and "How do we know unless we try" type posts defending the boss choices. I bet most of those sycophants didn't even end up playing on the...

Only played FF1 on phones. It was a good remake and easily my preferred way to play FF1 now. Didn't go beyond 1 cause I was hoping for console versions. Gonna go through all six once they're out. They're all worth playing, except maybe FF2 which you have to really be a series fan to get...

Yeah I thought about topping stats out at 9 instead of 10 since there are probably bobbleheads lurking about. Hunting down all seven bobbleheads was one of the most fun things I did in FO3. Then I realized it's FO1 and I want to get it trounced ASAP so I went full 10 on the key stats. I...

Just beat the game. I was surprised at the spontaneous and random anime buttsex orgy. Seemed like the inclusion of the sexy octopus was pretty racist though.

In theory there's nothing stopping a bunch of people from sitting in the same camp and trying to out-quickdraw each other. Camps will basically be kaput and the better DPS racer will be at the mercy if server latency. Also, anyone with programs that show spawn timers / respawn eta on a mob are...

No real Baldur 2 progress to update, I got kind of lost in the underworld. Left off in the Drow city with no clue what to do. Lost quite a bit of motivation in that section of the game for some reason. Maybe I'm a bit Baldur'd out? Spent about 25 hours on BG1, 12 on SoD, and 27 (and counting) on...

The internet in general is like that. Post "10 best games of 2022" and "10 worst games of 2022" videos on Youtube and the worst list will get like 4-5x as many views. Happened with literally everyone who did it. And if you want a question answered... posting a question might be met with...

Maybe the cops got Abolished at some point between the 2nd and 4th movies. Funny how now people in TV media who were pushing that stuff are saying "no what we meant was reallocate funds to mental health instead of policing". Weird cause while I remember lots of "abolish police" signs I don't...

I think she's hot. We'll let the viewers decide: And yeah, the movie was a great idea with very poor execution. I've also found myself skipping things that aren't that great more and more lately. Too much actual good stuff I have to get through and too little time to burn on things that are...

Yeah, now it's referred to generally as the Prydain Chronicles, but for a long time the five books didn't really have a concrete name like LOTR does. The ones I have are first edition, which is pretty cool. I had to pay up to get them (in some cases, some I lucked out). They look exactly like...

Raids in a traditional sense would be a thing of the past because every fight would just be a mindless zerg-tag with everyone ungrouped to maximize loot. Every time a target is called by any guild, people from all over the land would be running over to take a potshot at the mob. Loot prices...

I was thinking about how as a Bard I could control the entire zone of Maiden's Eye and I'll admit, my nipples got just a little hard thinking of all the salt that would generate. I'm not about griefing other players under most normal circumstance, but things like this will inevitably happen...
