    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Asking for advice is totally fine, by "shitting up the thread" I was referring to this: Thought it was gonna spiral into another multi-page bullshit fest like so many other bicker-fests do around here, but it didn't, so that's good.

    If all else fails, yeah. Just try not to create too many taxable events. Got a question for the room: Been wanting to do some mining for a while now and the prices of Antminer T9+ and S9 seem to have really dropped recently. I'm thinking about making use of my ultra-cheap potential power...

    Saw this on Ebay. Is this an actual thing? Selling saved games on Ebay? It's perfect inventory since technically you can send out unlimited copies of a saved game. Looks like this one's got a few purchases already too. Now I'm curious about this, wouldn't mind throwing a bunch of save files on...

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

    Good post and I think there's something to it, but it's hard to believe Africans were sea-faring and conquered the world once upon a time when all modern indications I see are that the people of the Congo (aka the least tampered with by Eurasian genetics) are basically the modern remnants of...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Plotting something = attempted murder? Also is this actually based on something or what?

    Retro Game of the Month?

    Yeah, Crystalis looks really good. Always had an interest in it because I love the (similar) Startropics games. Also Crystalis had the balls to say "the world ended in a nuclear war in 1997" in like 1989. Always found that concept interesting, the "this is the far future of our world after an...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Power-stance started in Dark Souls 2 I believe so you won't find it in the games before that. It's a fun thing to maul your foes with.

    Yeah Britt really loads up on the makeup. She passed the fearsome "30" wall not too long ago and probably feels self-conscious as fuck, hence pancaking it on. Look at how bonkers gorgeous she was in 2018/2019: None of this is to take anything away from her, she's still hot. Her confidence...

    Metroid Prime Remastered

    Got my order from Best Buy in the mail. From what I'm hearing it isn't really available in any physical stores, had to either preorder it (and only Best Buy had it) or buy it on the eShop. So digital might be the only option. Another weird game rollout, not as bad as FF Pixel Remaster...

    Maybe Margot Robbie is transitioning. The illuminati and their goat deity are really into that stuff at the moment

    Weird games that don't deserve their own thread

    On a related note: I made a Metroid Prime Remastered thread because people were calling for one in the Nintendo Switch thread, then it just died on the vine after a few posts. I guess I over-estimated Metroid's new-found popularity.

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

    Imagine what would happen if aliens came down and told us their impressions of us after decades of study... ...and they sounded exactly like nazi shitlord AI Chatbots, or that 200 IQ guy who writes blogs. Just dispensing all kinds of inconvenient truths about human nature and genetics and all...

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

    I think there's enough evidence that we had advanced species of hominid that got wiped out. Australopithecus Robustus was fairly evolved and communal, so they got wiped out by Australopithecus Africanus. Then later you have Neanderthal showing signs of being evolved, peaceful, and communal...so...

    Retro Game of the Month?

    Crystalis, Kid Icarus, and Journey to Silius are pretty much the last NES games I still have to play. Hard to believe that's all that's left but I played everything else I had any interest in over the decades.

    Buying it, that's really good stuff. Too bad I just did a WA2 playthrough a couple years ago, but I'm 20 years overdue for another LoD playthrough.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The Souls games are super similar to this, yeah. I'd play them in reverse order so you don't have to deal with the jarring transition of going back in time ten years. ER then Dark Souls 3 then Dark Souls 2 then Dark Souls. Not sure where Demon's Souls on PS5 fits into this equation, since the...

    JRPGs

    Is this a Legend of Dragoon remaster of some sort? Like the PS4 versions of FF7-FF9 having much sharper visuals. I assume so, because you could already buy LoD on the PS3 PSN Store for half as much as this... If it's an actual sharpened-up HD port I'll buy it for sure.

    Anyone get their copy yet? Mine was "out for delivery" today but nothing yet. Edit: Sounds like nobody's playing this besides me, probably didn't need to make a topic for it

    He isn't getting injury-extended (out of respect) and his contract technically ran out 3 weeks ago.

    They've truly struck a blow against anti-semitism and homophobia and transphobia and arachnophobia also BIPOC lives matter and stand with Ukraine. What a bunch of virtuous horseshit. JK Rowling did nothing wrong.

    Playstation 5

    How are the visuals on this PSVR2 compared to the first or playing on a TV? Did they get rid of the complete mess of cords? TBH I don't think VR is even appealing until it goes full wireless. PSVR1 was such a jumble of wires that it became a chore to even set up. I returned mine after a week...

    Yeah, I know. He's still the embodiment of what WWE sees as "the guy" and Sami is the embodiment of the ROH crowd. AEW's overall look is still a problem. They made some positive changes at the beginning of the year, but didn't go far enough. The shows are still too dark, etc. I'd understand...

    Playstation 5

    Yeah PSVR1 graphics were really bad, surprised I haven't seen more people talk about it. I tried playing a few PS4 games on it like Bloodborne. It was basically like playing a game on a theater screen while sitting in an empty theater, which is kind of cool (and useful if you don't have a TV)...

    Sami vs Roman is like...the embodiment of all the slovenly fan-beloved indy guys from ROH and so forth, versus the embodiment of what WWE manufactures and sees as a star.

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    They also have Ant-Man's daughter telling the cops that they tear-gassed her "peaceful protest", then later in the movie she leads the people of the quantumverse in a revolt against Kang, during which they're yelling stuff like "BURN IT ALL DOWWWWWN" Not sure if self-aware

    What are you playing?

    Yeah, Stranger of Paradise DLCs are WoW-style. You have to farm gear for the next tier up or the next fight, then the next DLC immediately obsoletes the previous one's gear-up methods and drops new stuff on you. The second to last boss of the last SoP DLC was Omega (of FF5 fame) and it was a...

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    Returnal is one of those games where you think the fights are way harder than they actually are, and once you get a win, you end up getting hit like once in the process. Then you go "THAT is what I was stuck on before?" However, the late-game is pretty annoying. Like the 6th (last) area, but it...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    You could do a find/replace on a few things in this "story" and have it also perfectly describe the U.S. in 2020. Was quite obvious there was a media narrative being shaped in collusion with the protests, wouldn't be a shock to find out it was the CIA reusing their Ukraine playbook. Be more...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Can someone ask this thing "Why is free speech important?" Or "Is free speech good?" Or "What would happen to us if we lost our free speech?" I'm curious what it'd say to all of those. Specifically the google bot, given who's working at google these days.

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    It is. Wow. The arena scene at the end sounds completely indistinguishable from a horde of chimps screeching. On that note, probably a longshot, anyone happen to know what the first song in the credits is? The one before that scene. Sounded like maybe Hans Zimmer or something, really bad-ass...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I used Intricate Defiant, not Flawed. I think Intricate is at about PoTime level but it might be more like VT at 52 when the stats are diminished a bit by the Recommended. And yeah, Nagafen was no joke. Had to really plan out the potion uses. SK seemed like a good class to do it with, but I...

    What are you playing?

    It's a major grind. I'm glad it's done. They went with a WoW expansion type setup where each DLC has to be farmed to "gear up" for the next set of bosses which are l10x as strong as the previous set.
