So wait, between She-Hulk, Ironheart, and presumably Miles Morales, the MCU is going to actually fully phase out white males? I'm actually all about diversity in general (hence why I wondered why there are no Latinos on the board) and having a mix of characters of all walks. OG Mortal Kombat in...

Wait for them to implement an Easy mode for journalists in 2025

The items from tutorial can be really good, especially with a cap of 40. Unfortunately the best one (haste item) is super-rare, and the tutorial will be crowded. I'd say better off skipping it, honestly. What I'm wondering is how good LDONs will be 20-40. Accumulating points from as early as...

I'm in that situation too. Pretty sure I bought $10 of Bitcoin back in 2013. Wanted to get $100 but my GF at the time talked me out of it and said it was akin to setting money on fire. I'm like 70% sure I went ahead and dropped a zero and got $10 as a lark. Problem is, I've used a ton of email...

Yeah, dialogue actually felt realistic, which is uncommon for movies about teenagers. Also liked that the love interest turned out to be some asshole that she was projecting onto, which sounds about right, and that the most responsible/strong character in the movie was her brother and he got to...

Not gonna be an evil class so hopefully that gives me a better warp point in Akanon. Gonna test it out. Yeah, that kinda sucked. It wasn't TOO bad, but I could see it being a tedious run very fast. Agnostic human cloth casters can start in West Freeport. Far as I can tell, that's the only...

I was actually considering recording this launch and posting like a ten-hour Youtube video or something like that. Probably won't though. Streaming would have been cool if I'd started ten years ago (definitely considered it), now I'm old and tired and everyone else is doing it. Question for the...

Maybe I'll play on this TLE, just like a year in or something so I can avoid unlock waits to a point. @Mur Or I can check out Maj'Dul, yeah. TBH I'd rather go SK than Necro anyway so I'll give that a shot.

Watched the first few episodes of S2, gonna catch up this week. The giant drowned man episode was good, felt like something written in the 1800's. The guy's musings on the deterioration of the body, etc. Then Michael B Jordan trapped with an EMMI was really good. Maybe it's because I played...

After reading this thread, I'm gonna run a Necro on EQ2 eventually and see as much content as I can solo. Liked the first fifteen levels or whatever I did back in 2008. Might as well when I have an all-access EQ sub anyway. Have unfinished business with WoW and LOTRO, and an ongoing EQ1 thing...

Just went on Netflix and watched that Edge of Seventeen movie with Hailie Steinfeld in it. It's actually good. The main character is kind of insufferable for a lot of it but I think that's the point. Her hot best friend looked like a younger Yelena and everything with her was cool. I...

I misread this as Warriors and Celtics for a second. Thought "hey that'd be a pretty good NBA Finals", then remembered I haven't given a shit about the NBA for two years.

Had a crash on the MAX 15 today. Error was "Driver Power State Failure". Wasn't doing anything intensive at the time, just reading on here. Had such a bad time with my previous laptop that every time this one does anything I get slightly freaked out that maybe I should return it while I can...

For most people GoD/OoW is early era. Early era ends somewhere in the level 70 expansions, maybe PoR at the latest. Middle era is TSS through RoF (level 100) or so, and Current era is COTF+ where all the expansions are basically standardized. Those 3 eras are very distinct from one another. For...

I have a friend who loves the look of Elden Ring and has been reading/watching material about it for months, but hasn't actually gotten it because he thinks it's too hard/stressful to play. Basically he bought into all the "it needs an easy mode" whacktivists. I maintained that an easy mode...

Nice, I got you fam

Who's in it?

Yeh, the 2024 election is gonna be the least "actual issue" oriented election in my lifetime so far. The majority of the actual issues and the state of the US make the choice obvious at this point if the R candidate is halfway competent. So instead of issues, they will need to heavily focus on...

SHM or ENC or NEC LFG, guess I'm in for launch after all if there are any groups left with room. I'll play whichever, not actually set on anything. Edit: Got scooped up

We're down to the last ten days of the challenge! Let's see some last-minute submissions. I've only got Monday and Tuesday free, but I've got two of those pairs left. Might try to knock out Resident Evil 1 and 2 finally, maaaybe Nuka-World if I want to suffer. Cuphead and FNAF 5 are both close...

How tough is this game? About on par with the first one? I found the difficulty of that one to be just right.

Yeah, various monx did ask him if he could go for piercers or blunts instead and leave the H2H to monks (in those eras H2H > the others for monks) and he basically refused, said he was an H2H collector and entitled to it because of all the DKP he'd earned. This was also in a guild back in 2008...

Pretty much. In OGC there was always kind of an unspoken honor system where most people wouldn't bid each other up. Probably 95% of the time that I went in on a weapon and someone started to bid it up, they stop and delete their bids. Stuff like that. Items that are clearly for a specific class...

Also my question. When bottom? Probably once Boogeyman Pox hits the news waves.

Story about morale-crushing: Once I was guilded with a beastlord who was a long-time 100% RA guy. Didn't play at all outside of raids, but never missed a raid tick. Refused to use any weapons besides Hand-to-Hand, despite having other weapon choices / H2H being super rare for us at the time /...

Dip this morning. Wondering if it's FUD from Monkey Pox news. If the usual suspects decide to run with this as their latest scare campaign, we're in for a huge drop across the board soon. Maybe even another March 2020 type buying opportunity.

The big shiny murder stick was often the main thing that mattered in a given expansion for a zerk though. I'll get whatever other upgrades I can, but a BIS weapon is paramount and takes every priority. Not sure if any other class is that reliant on / gains so much from a single slot compared to...

I was usually that BIS guy. As a zerker, my 2H weap is the single most important item in the inventory. I'd make sure I got a BIS weap every expansion, at the expense of other slots. If that also means being the only guy in the guild lobby with the VOA holy mallet or the SOF Tjudawos purple...

Can also call them and do a Buk Lau impression. "You ban me because I am rittle Asian boi??"

Taking bets on the AEW video game actually releasing in September. I'd say there's zero chance of that myself, maaaaaybe December. ...of 2023. Keep seeing news reports that AEW has spent $40 million on it, or even $80 million. TBH either of those are likely absurd suggestions. Last official...

Yeah, there is no basement rendered under the arenas. I think the elevators actually go up, to bring people to the stands to watch the PVP instead of participating. Didn't know that about the center area, figured it was just a great big ocean. If there's a giant empty square there, then yeah...

There are 3 arenas in the game that are all locked, and apparently they're all identical: Not sure what the point of these places is. A PVP arena would be awesome (especially if it allows lots of players at once) but why have 3 of them? Maybe the idea was that each one would have a different...

Seems like Vaniki is losing raiders at an alarming rate unless they make some changes in the next week. Not even sure I'll play on it myself now, might do the launch rush for fun and krono-farming (and the 40-50 rush since it'll be inside of a month's sub) but I don't think I'll stick around...

I wish I'd made a Matic buy today when it was at .68 or so, at .72 now. Still a steal but yeah. If it drops again, it might be the play for the reasons I mentioned above. Lots more upside than BTC for a spike, unless all altcoins crash. I think it's the best altcoin, though.

Here's the track from the end of ep 2, when they introduce Echo in the room full of subwoofers and red light. The way the show segues into the credits with this continuing to play was awesome.

I felt bad for the owl after his tree got knocked down. However, he made off with the mini-van so he at least got a meal out of it.

Agreed on Hawkeye/Kate/Yelena all being insanely charismatic. Unfortunately it looks like the only main character to get their own show at the moment is Echo, who I found the least charismatic of the four "good guys" by far.

Finished it, that was a great movie-and-a-half. I could always go for more Yelena. The last episode with the Christmas Tree and the heart-to-heart talk about Black Widow was good. Speaking of Black Widow, whoever that was who played her during the Avengers Broadway thing...was hot as fuck...
