Just had a thought. Legend says that Xenogears was supposed to be Chrono Trigger 2 early in life before it got repurposed into its own thing. Which makes me wonder... maybe the six eras of time in Xenogears weren't intended to be six different games, like Xenogears fans have been thinking for...

Doing it to stymie game rentals makes a lot of sense, some games did weird stuff like that back then. Personally I rented it a couple times. 7th Saga and Secret of Mana were the first RPGs I ever rented/played really, and both of them kicked my ass. Tried both again at later times and did a lot...

I can confirm that FF4 mobs are extremely counter-heavy. Depends on what version you're playing though, some versions they're not. Yeah levels make all the difference in these early RPGs. I remember struggling with things like 7th Saga on the SNES back in the day until I slowed it down and...

Sounds like I'll probably just play the main game and then Hordes of the Underdark if I want more. Unless the game totally catches fire with me in the meantime. I barely even got out of the starting areas so far though.

It's weird, first time I played Seiken Densetsu 3 (in 2014) I actually didn't like it at all, was a big letdown after the like 15 years of hype. The controls felt a lot stiffer than Secret of Mana. I liked SoM's loose gameplay. ...which was too loose at times to the point that the game could be...

That ZeroHedge article at the end is really good. Shit like Charlottesville and the Jan 6 fracas are convenient excuses for these woke people to co-opt shit to "fight back", but they don't seem to have anything else to fight back against. That doesn't stop Newsweek up there from going on about...

What would have made this server a lot more appealing is if the exp bonus didn't reset soon as Kunark etc are out. Just a flat 10% more exp for every character you get to 50, up to 10 characters which is permanent double exp on the server. Could even do it incrementally, like each character you...

Sounds like it's about what I expected for the Sword Coast, with NWN taking up a lot of that middle ground I wasn't sure about. Noticed NWN has two expansions included in the Enhanced Edition. I know NWN2's expac Mask of the Betrayer is a must, but what about these? Worth bothering with...

The most hilarious thing would be wood elf females who try to cyber other wood elf females and are shocked to discover they're both actually dudes. I have no pics or footage but I'm 100% sure this has happened many times

Humans aren't exactly like animals on Earth though. We're similar yeah, maybe 97% similar in some cases, genetically. We also have a massive gulf between us and the intelligence levels of everything else though. I'm very interested these days in the idea that advanced humans came here from...

What video is that? There are like seven video links in the posts before you. I checked out a few of them and they're like an hour long.

A few reasons off the top of my head: -It's a sometimes-turbulent planet with a lot of environmental factors/interference to consider, especially for non-natives who aren't acclimated to the climate. Like foreign militaries trying to function on Russian territory during their worse weather...

Nobody's talking about doing this as a replacement for a job. Not sure why somebody always makes that assumption whenever "best way to make lots of kronos" comes up in discussion on here. It's more about how can one most effectively get their kroner number up in a scenario like GiG/Mischief...

Go to Settings and make sure battles are set on Wait rather than Active. That'll stop things while you choose commands, so you don't have bosses wailing on you 3-4 times while you look for an item or spell. Setting the combat speed can also make a difference, but the time that it affects only...

What insurance? With Geico, at best I still have a $1000 deductible. For the most part they've been good under other circumstances though. Rustles me cause if the hit-and-runner stuck around / left a note or whatever, our insurances could work it out and they wouldn't have to pay anything...

Side note: Could the US/NATO intelligence apparatus have come up with a creepier name for their system than "Five Eyes"?

I feel like Gold Saucer is probably gonna be the big DLC they add to it later, with just the main story part of it (chasing Cait Sith around etc) being in this version. Hopefully I'm wrong. IMO the best part of the original FF7 was Disc 1, by far. I wasn't that into the rest. Losing Aerith +...

I think Junon here might have been the latest thing storywise in the trailer? Looks like the game is all just one big open world which could be really cool. Was wondering how they'd handle the overworld. The answer? Just make it a giant area, that's all the rage anyway thanks to games like ER...

This very thing happened to me the other day. Parked car and left it alone for 2 hours, returned to a big ol' dent and scrape on the side. Since it was a hit and run and I wasn't present, insurance dragging their feet on covering it. I basically am gonna have to pay $3000 outta pocket on car...

How in the blue fuck do I get all of these "Samsung Internet" popups to stop? I tried closing all browser windows on the phone, looked around for any settings or apps that might be the problem. Every 5 minutes or so I'm getting a pop-up that's like "breaking news: some terrible catastrophe...

Get that ivermectin outta here, misinformation-spreader!

I might have posted this already, it's a pretty sweet map. Anyone want to help me out and circle what areas are part of which game? I can't remember which game Waterdeep is in, if any. Seems like it'd be in NWN? Off the top of my head, I think green is BG1+2 and yellow is Siege of...

What's the metagame for making kroners in a GiG / Mischief type GDKP scenario? Attend raids to collect the paycheck without bidding on anything you don't have to? Bid on things and sell them in EC instead of equipping them, like a prick? Bid normally and get your gear upgraded, going for BIS...

Finally got around to fighting Proto-Babil, won in one try. I think I over prepared because that wasn't bad at all. Just had to count his HP and unleash the last 125,000 or so damage in burst form. One 99999 Kain jump (Focus x3 and Darkness powered) plus 2x Meteor from Rydia and a Fuma Shuriken...

I was just wondering how another me got in here. Still fingers crossed that Cloud dies in Pt 2 in Aerith's place and we get Aerith and Tifa boning in Pt 3.

Yeah I get deeply nostalgic at Secret of Mana music. The happy music that plays at the very start when they're standing on the log by the waterfall is the one that gives me the rush of memories. Last time I played the game was in 2019 and I got to play it while hanging out with my mom which was...

I used to be one of those people, until I saw other people doing it enough to realize what trash play it actually is to DKP hoard for the latest shiny thing at the cost of a high median standard gear level. Zerker might be the only class that maybe has an excuse for this kind of "chase one slot"...

Gear can be a crutch yes, I've seen top end guilds beat content basically in the nude (for current gear) between Selo and short-turnaround expansions on Phinny. That said there's still no excuse for people having empty slots weeks into a server. Having some store-bought bronze pauldrons on...

Finally got my scythe-wielding death lady properly set up in NWN. Had to start over because as I expected it looks like it defaulted me to a katana spec. Which would be my first choice anyway if I hadn't heard scythe is comically OP. Definitely got everything set up right this time. Went with...

How does anyone have empty gear slots weeks in? Gotta crack the whip for people to go hit up the nearest jewelry-maker and get some necks. If all else fails maybe some summoned Mage loots. Well, I don't envy having to do the cat-herding.

Sir why are you commenting on something you aren't actively playing right now?? *posts random screenshot of your post count for no reason*

I will also donate $100 to the forum if that's the case. Why did they change the name of this movie? Was "New World Order" too on the nose with current events re: World Economic Forum, so they decided to name it after the Huxley novel where everyone is forced to take a medication or be...

There's a place for a Gollum game since it's never been done before and a creative dev could get really inventive with it. This one just looks so depressing though. Like Slavery Simulator: The Game or something. Not sure if the devs wanted to teach people that slavery is bad or if they just...

Charm gating in general was such a PITA. Don't think I ever did it except to stop someone else from doing it. I remember it being almost impossible to get a Fishbone Earring in classic on a few servers because of charm gaters.

Yeah, wasn't any kind of issue the last couple servers I did that on. He can show up randomly all over the place. SEQ people still have an advantage obviously but it's no longer a roadblock if someone is sitting on the throne and dropping pre-emptive rains.

We talking hard skips or soft skips? My main worry about the 25th servers is that they'll finally do something worthwhile...twice over, so everyone will be split on what to do. Like a Selo-Vaniki challenge server plus Mischief 2. Rather they just combine those two ideas but yeah, I'd be...

TBH Oakwynd's design could open up a whole new realm of tricks (some would say tryharding) for people who have the base game all figured out. The problem is... ...that with the level of competition on here, I don't think there'll be much impetus for the best of the best to spend the time...

Man, you're such a victim. You're just trying to talk about Oakwynd on the Oakwynd thread! So which is it, you're mad that people here are unhinged over "losing OW content on the server" (lol wat), or you're mad that people here don't play on the server? Go back to the rainbow party or...
