    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So what's the verdict on Shadowlands? I've liked every expansion of WoW noticeably less than the one before it, with the exception of Legion which I LOVED. Other than Legion, I can't say I've enjoyed the game since Cataclysm, maybe Mists. BFA was a total chore and the only reason I "finished" it...

    Eiyuden Chronicle

    I replayed 1 and 2 about five years ago and for whatever reason 2 didn't hold up as well. YMMV. For me it's 1>2>5>3>Tactics>>>>>4 Wasn't there a semi-dogshit mobile Suikoden later on too? Suiko 3 remastered would be great. These companies are sitting on an absolute gold mine of PS2 and 3 era...

    $999 for a 55'' CX is a reaaaaally good deal, as is $1200 for 65''. I'd probably jump on this if I wasn't going for a G1 already. People that want a top of the line TV and aren't trying to be bleeding-edge like me would be very well served to grab one of the CXs in this fire sale.

    Konami did Suikoden dirty, TBH. I'm just glad we live in a world where game designers can jump ship from these companies and make their own follow-ups (Suikoden, Castlevania, etc). One good thing about Suikoden III was Chris: What a babe. There were quite a few Suiko-babes as I recall. Jeane...

    Sorry for post spam, usually try to do all replies in one post. Couple questions though: -Is Nicehash generally the recommended program for mining? I.e. lowest fees etc? -When you mine something like Ethereum, can you add that to your total instead of selling it? I don't want to cash out /...

    Oh man. If I could go back in time one year and grab all of the stocks during the COVID crash, and invest heavily in BTC when it was sub-10k... it isn't even just wishful thinking, I actively considered doing all of these things at the time and had plenty of money to do it with, and chose...

    Agreed. Eth ain't gonna get to 1M. I'd say 100k is within the realm of possibility on a 5-10 year timeline. Unless the dollar absolutely crashes, in which case we'll have bigger problems. Staking value is also going to go down. It won't stay at 7% or 10% type numbers once the value is through...

    Bought back into BTC at 57k after selling at 59k. After the huge Coinbase fees for both selling and then buying, I'm not even sure if I broke even. Also bought Mana at .97 after selling at 1.07, which definitely did make me a decent little profit (about $80). I've got a similar idea to you on...

    I wouldn't mind having a job like that, where I make a lot and have to travel all the time. Haven't been able to find one though. Did you stop running them because of this guy or were you going to anyway? Like did this one guy destroy the Open Plat Raid economy by showing up and vastly...

    Yeah, I'll get it and let you know how it is / take pictures / etc. I'm about 90% sure I'm going to go for the 65'' at this point, so I'm actually glad it wasn't available yet last week (I would have gotten 55'' then). I have to wait for Best Buy to get them in because it's the only place where...

    Another cool thing about the 65'' G1 is that it's designed to be wall-mounted and it's insanely thin. Like it takes up almost zero room space. My game room isn't that big, but I would lose absolutely nothing spacewise with 65''. At this point my sole concern is whether or not it negatively...

    The C6 cost $1900 when it launched. The C1 costs about $1900 now. The BX costs $1250. The C series has more features than the B series. And yes, I would say that side-by-side the C6 looks better than the BX, having...just looked at them side-by-side. In theory the year should trump the model...

    I'd like to see the original models make a comeback in an up-res'd version of EQ. So character models that look fairly modern graphically, yet are unmistakably the early models from EQ. Continue on the track Velious started with armor designs. The Tizmak/Ry'gorr/etc armor appearances in Velious...

    I don't remember T260-G ultimate form, was that a secret or something you got in the story? One of the things I remember most vividly about SaGa Frontier is the endgame of Blue's scenario and how incredibly atmospheric that last city was. Especially the giant (topless?) statues of scantily-clad...

    Sounds like knowing the tricks would give me a reason to replay SF. I remember grinding certain moves to learn the Dream Super Combo (which could like, one-shot almost everything) the first time around. However only some of the scenarios have a character that can learn it (maybe 4/7 of them?) so...

    It's funny because when I sold at 58k I told people "now it's gonna go through the roof, you're welcome" as a joke. Maybe I should buy back in? Glad I held my ether, not so glad that I only have 10% of the ether I wanted to get while it was low, but what can ya do. Thinking about dropping Dash...

    Eiyuden Chronicle

    Yeah I'm excited about Eiyuden for sure. Suikoden 1 and 2 were two of the best RPGs of all time. Never got 108 in any of them but I did have a blast otherwise. And those soundtracks, My God. Suikoden 3 was kind of mediocre and mainly coasted off of the first two for me. Also the fact that it was...

    Well, I myself liquidated my BTC at $59k a couple days ago (mostly bought in at $32k, quite a nice haul). Also sold Mana at $1.08. Didn't cash out, just left the funds in Coinbase with the objective of buying back in later. The $55 or so in fees sucked. And then I waited for the inevitable dip...

    I'm in the exact same position. I really wanted to get ETH while it's low ($1600 or less) but I was waiting to close out some stocks first to have some real money to play with. As the weeks go by I was never able to do that without losses because the stock market is so godawful right now. As it...

    Yeah, I wasn't able to get that site to work for whatever reason. It doesn't give me any listings to click on or compare. I mean, considering it'll only run me about $700 and the G1 Evo is an upgrade, it makes sense to get one while I can still trade in the BX. Otherwise I'll be paying full...

    This could be my next TV buy. My LG C6 from 2016 is already super-good. This G1 has the two things I want though: Better brightness (it gets pretty dark with some games) and HDMI 2.1. No HDR10+ is a concern though. How big of a deal is that? I don't think my C6 has that either, pretty sure it's...

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Exdeath. He's a pretty straightforward villain throughout the game. The fight with Exdeath at the end of "disc 2" (aka the second of the three worlds) was one of the best fights I've ever had in an RPG. He uses all kinds of buffs/debuffs in that fight and it turned into...

    Oh man, that's my hope too. Where do we think they're gonna end things in Part 2? I've seen people say "the end of disc 1" which I think is super optimistic and not likely at all. More likely it'll end either at Nibelheim or Temple of Ancients. However at this point I think we'll be lucky just...

    I could see a Glenn maneuver happening with Aerith and that would actually be interesting if they did it. Also wouldn't mind seeing Cloud die. Easily my least-favorite of the four main characters in the first game. It'd free up Aerith and Tifa to bang, since they had a lot more chemistry...

    Oh, I get it. Is +20 to stats really a big deal in that era? Could always modify my idea to just leave the PoP AAs the same, like the Luclin AAs, rather than increasing stat caps. I mainly care about the later ranks and how completely useless they are. Yeah, it feels like this year they're...

    That's the good thing about all of this downturn, it's a primo time to buy.

    Yep. We still have AAs to increase your base stats (Innate Eminence) even though everyone's base stats have been capped since like 20 expansions ago. If those AAs increased your stat cap, or better yet added Heroic stats past a certain level, they'd be GREAT. But nope, they just add to a stat...

    On the flipside, they could have also planned ahead and started low. Bring down player DPS at level 50 by like...80%, then have raid bosses like Vox and Nagafen capping out at 6000 HP, and slowly increased their stats over time. By starting right at the cap they weren't leaving much room for...
