    If the game were shorter and less of a pain, I'd have loved to replay it and try some other characters. Finished the game with the caster chick and the dwarf but no one else. Kamil + the priest would be good. First time I ever played the game I went with Kamil and Lux and got crushed, so trying...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    There's one super-good area to grind job levels in FF5. Wish I could remember exactly where it was. Walse Castle Basement or something like that? You'd get these groups of five enemies over and over that could be one-shotted with the right Blue magic. I know I posted about it earlier in the...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Everyone should see "Come and See". Also "Threads". A few weeks ago during the ZNPP power plant scare, "Threads" was trending worldwide one day, and I was really glad that people were talking about the movie and being aware of what a dangerous situation we were in. Turned out the trending was...

    Sound of Freedom (2023)

    This might actually explain the wild discrepancy between vote turnout in swing state inner cities (Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee) versus most non-swing state inner cities. If Zuckerberg's group was focusing all of their mail-in pushing to the swing states, it could account for them...

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

    If the US government has "12 ships", then that's 12 crashed ships in our sphere of influence since 1930. Plus whatever crashed outside of our sphere of influence and got scooped up by someone else, which basically means... Russia, given the large land mass of Siberia and their sphere of...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Something else that occurred to me yesterday is that Spain for a long time was called Catalan. Atalan. Atlas' Land. It's interesting to me that all of the Atlas-named areas were in either Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, or Spain. Pretty much all in the same grouping. Greeks may have used "Atlas"...

    lol Front Mission 2 also got delayed and we still don't have that or System Shock on console and it's August now I went Paladin but if I could do it over I would have gone Berserker most likely. The spells weren't as helpful as I expected and he was sitting at 2 points in weapon proficiencies...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    I think that was his second-biggest mistake. His first was rejecting the USSR from joining the Axis. He had no intention of sharing the world with Stalin though or letting Stalin carve off parts of Europe for himself. He saw the USSR as this big threatening bear to the east that had designs on...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    I've always been told that Japan had to be nuked solely because "they were willing to fight to the last man". I fully believe they were going to surrender once Russia was in Manchuria, after seeing what Russia did to Germany once troops crossed into it. Japan was in for a world of pain if...

    Snow White (2024)

    Yeah they'd have to actually create something rather than coasting on the coattails of the previous generation's creations (while destroying half of them). And creating is very hard for these types of ideologues as we know

    Chrono Cross remaster is on sale for like $11 on PSN for the next couple weeks. FYI for anyone who wants to get it. Finally grabbed it even with no plan to play it. At that price, sure. Maybe I'll have my mom over and play some of it, since we were really into it when I was a kid. Crazy how...

    Good point. I'm probably better off just playing Morrowind and Oblivion on PC with mods rather than buying a gorram new system for them in five years or something.

    The Flash (2023)

    That describes like half the media we're asked to consume these days. High schooler writing, male characters who are all goofy and awkward at all times, female characters who are either "quirky" or stone-cold girlbosses who do everything perfectly. Mostly the male characters have to be super...

    That'd be amazing if true, I still haven't played Oblivion or Morrowind. Weird that they'd remake Oblivion first out of the two though. Three even, Skyrim could use that level of update as well. I guess it'd be XBox-only though huh? Damn. Well, if XBox gets Oblivion and Morrowind remakes that'd...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    He was on Vaniki before that as well, I get the impression the RI people had moved on from Rampage a while ago. But I don't know. I had a bone to pick with Vicc for bailing on Bind Rush, but at this point it's whatever, in the past.

    I know Edge. My actual legit reaction was the HHH/HBK one so I picked that over the easy play on words. Though TBH my real reaction to people saying Japanese people deserved it is probably more like this:

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I've noticed a striking uptick in how often I get someone from phone support or a receptionist, especially in our (now super communistic on the sly) "medical community", who can barely understand me and vice versa. Nothing against people who have English as a second language but don't fuckin'...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Watched this to see Dakota Johnson (pretty much will watch her in anything), quickly turned on the movie and basically hate-watched the last 90% of it. This movie really encapsulates everything wrong with our current society and dating system. It means "single" not in the sense of being single...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Said it before, if this was basically the same game but it was Stranger of Paradise 2 and Clive became Emperor Paramekia at the end, it probably would have been perfectly well-recieved by the FF fanbase. They already lifted a bunch of stuff from the FF2 world for this game anyway. Spoilers on...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Probably already posted this, but... stupid fucking Apple billboards with people holding their phone in front of their face. "Privacy, that's iPhone" while you're ostensibly being filmed by some near-sighted dweeb. I feel for the people who live in the buildings across from this billboard and...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Obviously not the same thing, but when I was 19 at the third job I'd ever had (gas station, with bottom of the barrel people), a guy forged my name on a lunch receipt so it'd be expensed to me. It was like $10, which was a lot to me in 2003. I went to management about it and raised a ruckus...

    Yasuke was really big and formidable so Nobunaga respected him enough, plus he'd been through Africa and India so he had all kinds of stories from those places that actually regaled Nobunaga since he couldn't get out much. I think Nobu bought him off of his previous manager/owner? and gave him a...

    Barbie (2023)

    Never seen this one before. Going by that gif at least she's definitely Gadot-Tier. It's rarefied air, pretty much have to go into pr0n (Tori Black, for one) to find other actresses on that Gadot-Tier. Rachel Ziegler was pretty smokin' in Shazam 2. Seems like Jenna Ortega was all set up to be...

    Yeah, nothing like that is in Sound of Freedom. It's about a Homeland Security guy rescuing a Colombian boy from being sold on the black market, then he quits his job so he can go rescue the kid's sister. Then he has to go pretend to be a Doctor Without Border to infiltrate a Colombian jungle...

    Snow White (2024)

    Reminds me of the Mortal Kombat producers saying they took Johnny Cage out of the recent movie "because it felt wrong to have the main character be a white male in 2020". A) MK never had a "main character", B) WTF, C) They added a new, completely unnecessary main character who was half-Asian but...

    It'll probably be a pretty solid game. The actual story of the guy is compelling enough and he ended up being one of Nobunaga Oda's top guys. I think he was there when Oda died even. So the story is there (and it's an actual great story that they don't need to embellish or make shit up for the...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I'm not that familiar with Mages or how their skills work on Live, but from your setup it looks like you need to have a high uptime of having swarm pets up in order to trigger the Mage DPS boosts (synergy?) There's a 1H proc aug that procs a single swarm pet, fires often, and isn't lore. I put...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Personally I don't think using the nukes was necessary because I fully believe Russia had Japan about to surrender on their own. Japan HAD to go for Russia's demands once they took Manchuria. Nobody wants to deal with a brutal Russian invasion, just ask all the German women they raped. Japan...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    It is super easy for people to mentally lump everyone from a group / ideology / country together. Japanese soldiers did many horrible atrocities, therefore "Japan itself" is responsible and reaps what it sows. The people who got nuked included a lot of kids, babies, old people, and probably...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Anyone know if it's possible to use normal controllers on a 3DS? The system is cramped compared to the Switch. My modded one has a USB-C port so I'm wondering if there's any possibility I can use an external controller on it, or if the system itself ever got any kind of external controllers...

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

    I don't think Schumer or any other senators or congresspeople are "in on it" or trying to pull one over on us. If he wants to know if other branches of the government are hiding something from Congress, it makes sense to me. Congress wants to be "in on it". I don't even think the executive...

    I've also seen weird unexplainable things, like a silver sphere seeming to "fade in and out" high in the sky, too small to take a video of it (best I could do was just try to keep my eyes on it while it moved around erratically and kept disappearing and reappearing). I don't know if it was a...

    Tectonics can do all kinds of wondrous things, yes, including pushing a landform up a few hundred feet beyond where it was previously over a short span of time. A massive earthquake in the area could have done this, and that very thing could have also caused a mega-flood. I still think the flood...
