    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I dont care if they nerf the barrier based damage builds on druids, but if they fuck up the synergy based shit I am out. Its fucking ludicrously impossible as it is to scrape any cooldown reduction for that build and beyond stupid how every god damn druid build revolved around Earthen Bulwark...

    The show grinds to a fucking halt every time the Magical Space Nogs are on the screen. It makes zero sense because we are basically mostly completely off the reservation in terms of following the source material at the moment, so why is there such a disparity between the Empire and Henry stuff...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    If it were on PS5, this would be day one buy bugs and all. As is, I will likely never play it. Fuck you Microsoft, you lost the console wars. Accept it.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Druid resource issue is overblown. They are stacked with great cooldown abilities on reasonable timers and if you are pulverize you are basically doing Maul Maul Pulverize with every second pulverize melting the screen anyhow.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Its astonishing how fast this game went from fun to brick wall. Wife and I were chugging along clearing up quests, leveling, and getting noticible improvements on the regular. Then we hit the Paragon levels and its like "oh boy lets grind all day for some stat gains and nothing I can ever use...

    Clockwork Revolution (inXile)

    On the one hand, I have loved most of what they have done (Tides of Numera not withstanding) and a couple of the guys there are personal friends from way back. On the other hand, the recent Xbox exclusive thing puts me off since I am a PS5 whore and I cannot help bot notice "strong kangress"...

    I can accept that the book as written is basically unfilmable. The merging of ideas from other books was something Asimov did himself, and where they did this with the Empire storyline it worked very well. Pallet swaps? Don't care if they could act (Magic Math and Magic Strong Wakandan could...

    Kolchak: The Night Stalker

    ITs basically Cthulhu investigator the show. Lot of great memories of it as a kid and its holds up reasonably well for how old it was, mostly thanks to McGavin. Solid low budget character/story driven horror monster of the week type stuff. I am tankful no fucking idiot has tried to remake this.

    Dating

    This is my favorite cognitive dissonant aspect of modern women. If a dude gets shot down, most (soy fucks aside) rub some dirt in it and get back in the mix. Women, on the other hand, cannot even slightly handle rejection and lose their shit if they face even a hint of what the average man had...

    Street Fighter 6

    As an old fuck, its really forcing yourself to use light attacks for footsies and tap confirms. Scrub Blunder 101 is to never use anything other than fierce attacks, but the minute you start using lights it opens up a whole new world of gameplay. And this is what makes characters like Juri...

    Street Fighter 6

    My Livingroom is set up to be a party room (karaoke rig ect) and we couch play a lot of games, including fighters that are more casual accessible like the MK series. This is the first game I have been able to bet my wife to like (outside of a little MK) enough to want to play it with friends...

    Street Fighter 6

    Im a scrub, but have been having fun with Cammy and Chun Li, even rocking a pad. Yuri on classic is obviously strong thanks to her basic moves (great overheads and lows) and RYU is pretty much where he always is, but its nice to see Chunner and Cammy being as well rounded as they are in this...

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    I am pretty good at RPGs and had beaten Tactics Ogre more than once before I played FFT. but I confess I ended up having to replay the entire game my first run because I had no save file from before the Velius fight. Tactics Ogre's final boss is a lot rougher now than in the original (the no...

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    Off topic, this board IS pretty open to opposing viewpoints. We dogpile, but honestly if your ideas cannot survive exposure to sunlight they were not good ones anyhow and you need to do better. People here are also WAY better at compartmentalizing shit to respective sub-forums than just about...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yeah looking at it, for all their shortcommings, Druids might be the least dependant on cat assing for gear, but you pretty much eitther have to be a Bear or dual shifter when the difficulty starts ramping up, mostly for the Unstoppables and Fortify.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    LOL. I am even lamer than that (Disclaimer, fithly console casual still working through the main story on T2) shit. I got the item that gives you a bonus pet and ramps up their damage. And then I got another item that raised all my summon skills by two, so I am like "Ok RNG Gods, apparently...

    I don't have to make assumptions. Anytime the tribe gets mentioned its like someone fired up the Hebrew Batsignal around here. You can't even stop yourself in the Rickshaw.

    RIP Araysar

    Just like everything else, the OG Manessa was better than the Jewish soft reboot from Hollyweird. You literally suicided by AMOD and it took you two words in one post (a record for the ages) all due to having the same impulse control as Stevie McBolt-Ons. Saying something is true because you...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Jesus they were not kidding about Sorcerers sucking balls. Got tired of the suckage on mine and restarted with both a Druid and Rogue (both oddball builds that would not work past T3) and took me a day to get both caught up to my wife's Necro I had been playing with. Druid is so much more fun...

    RIP Araysar

    This is basically a play right out of Manessa's playbook of insisting something it true because you say it is. Manessa "owned" us all. All the way into a permaban. Its Weimar O'Clock Schlomo. Can you count to 110? Or are you just as dumb as that man-she? Your reaction to LLR's request...

    I stopped posting there a while ago (got out after Plane of Time, had enough of leading a guild before that and played with another before hanging it up), but that board went hyper left around the time this one started its shift to the right. Oddly, Winnow used to be a right leaning guy but...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    I think if I were casting, I would go for Karl Urban as Kratos, the kid who played the teleporter in Umbrella Academy as Atraeus, Karen Gillan as Freya, and Stellan Skarsgard as Odin.

    God of War: Ragnarok

    Any reason why they would not consider Chris Judge? Any story prior to the Norse stuff is so one dimensional as to be pointless CGI fest anyhow.

    The Fighting Game Community Thread

    Juri is not busted, but simply has the most varied and complete moveset in the game. The newer characters are all flops in comparison because they tend to have massive holes in their movesets, mostly in normal attacks in certain ways (Greek OomFuFu bitch not having decent lows stands out). I...

    I subscribe for Strange New Worlds and the back catalogue of DS9 and classic trek, mostly. Occasionally something good pops up like S3 Picard and I get a little bonus surprise.

    So My Wife Died...

    I cannot imagine going through that, much less with two children depending on me while processing it all (I followed up in the Rustled thread for context). Having said that, it seems you are doing everything that could be expected of you under these circumstances. There is no easy way forward...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Kirk and Picard working together to save a planet was pretty much as cookie cutter of torch passing as it gets. This was also the TNG's cast first movie appearance (unless you want to count Dorn playing Worf's grandfather in Undiscovered Country).

    Yeah I debated that one and whether it was a spin off or torch pass. I guess its a little of both.

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    There have been a couple so-so to ok torch passes. Ironically, Disney had one of the best ones and dropped it in favor of shit like Tomorrow Land when they did the Tron 2.0 movie. Ghostbusters Afterlife was fairly decent. Star Trek Generations was passable, if unremarkable. The Creed series...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Perfect fan service movie with no wokeness. Only thing they missed was making Pratt recreate this classic in the end credits: But they actually had part of the theme song from the old show in the commercial at the start. I made my wife aware of this shows existence and now sing Do the Mario...
