    I've said it so many times in this thread, but PE is worthless. You'd be calling the valuations from 2012 overvalued still, and sitting there wondering why the market is up 700% and why you missed it

    Dune Awakening

    Oh, nevermind. It's $20 to play 5 days early? Fuck off. And even more retarded, one of the "features" is you get access to DLC...which releases on launch day? So you've got DLC on game launch? Man, Funcom...what the fuck happened to you?

    Lilo & Stitch (2025)

    I liked the "made her do x" part. Uh yes, that's how this works. They aren't real people, they're fictional and they do whatever the writers and directors want.

    Well shit, I didn't realize there was a 5 day head start on this one. Was trying to figure out what to play for the next two weeks.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Will they though? Like, if you had told me Mel Brooks died 5 years ago and I just missed/forgot about it, I wouldn't be shocked. Mel Brooks and Clint Eastwood are old as shit. Shit, Mel is, and Clint almost is, part of the Greatest Generation. You know, the one that comes before the Silent...

    Dune Awakening

    I really dislike public servers for survival games. I just think everything's going to turn into a shit show like Rust, where you spend all this time doing the survival shit only for some group of griefers to take/destroy it all when you're offline.

    Sure, you can argue they sucked at establishing lines of communication. But they ended up all over the place with varying degrees of success.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Edit: Was writing this while you posted the above. I should probably just move on since you're not even done with the story. This is why I said in a previous post that the story is great because you constantly think you've got it figured out, but you don't. I'd also suggest you start collecting...

    Yeah, it's overpriced compared to the rest of Nashville. It's always been the ritzy part. It's not particularly rural either.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Finished up my 100% at about 38.5 hours. Not sure I have it in me to NG+ this though. Seems like it'd just be boring since I'm pretty sure I'll one shot everything at this point.

    Temper your expectations though. It didn't blow me away or anything. It just wasn't as bad as the first.

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    It's funny, I look at that cast list, and the glaring one to me is Shang Chi. It probably explains why these post-Endgame phases are so fucking terrible. Really, it'll be 5 years between movies, and he only ever appeared in the one? I know people hated the movie, but it's like they gave zero...

    Franklin has been overpriced for at least 20 years. And 1800 sqft isn't a starter home (or "small cottage").

    This comes pretty close. I didn't love it though. It went super hard on woke shit, and Perry seems kind of like a raging faggot.

    Saw a comment on a random YouTube video, but if you want to farm the shit out of some Colours of Lumina, and you haven't killed the Chromatic Danseuse yet (Old Lumiere), you can basically kill the two clones and it'll resummon them instantly. Dodge the attacks of Danseuse. Each clone drops 5...

    I watched episode two last night and it wasn't as bad as the first. I was ready to write the show off entirely but I'll give it another episode. But I also have no background with the story like some of you.

    Jesus, this was quite the experience. I started off kind of being amazed at all the little details they included and I was like "I'll post about that." But there were so many, from those fucking water bottles, to those god damn plastic chairs that were everywhere, to the little toughbook...

    I'm confused by that. The US 30 year is at almost 5%. Why would Japan's 3% be a big wtf? The zero and negative interest rates were insane several years ago.

    Went ahead and finished. This game is damn spectacular. The music, the art, the story. All incredible. It's even got the narrative piece that Mike from RLM mentioned recently, the "if you were in their position, what would you do?" I don't play a ton of games, but this one is by far the best...

    Oh shit, well that's the actual easter egg then. I started watching the Asmon Act 2 playthrough video, and it's crazy how different the story is when you know what's going on. I had the same reactions he did when playing, of "what the fuck is even going on." I had theories of who was actually...

    I mean, everyone called how retarded this shit was to begin with. The ABS part is new. But still, the company will likely bankrupt before the end of the year, not even remotely making it close to the end of the decade. Anyone who loses money on this one deserves it. It doesn't (hopefully) have...

    Oh, there was one other thing that I remembered last night when I was finishing up the relationship stuff. I don't know that I'd call it an easter egg cause you literally would have to walk 5 feet off the main path to see, but some people might miss it. Act 2 ending/epilogue spoiler:

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Yeah, I ran into that Grosse Tete guy by accident, killed him, and my game crashed. Looked it up after and saw that it's a missable if you don't have Monoco for that one kill and skill. Loaded an older save, and now I've just got him in my party permanently. Basically, he almost never does...

    I never really used Monoco. His ability seems super gimmicky. Although, I could say the same about Sciel who I also use.

    Making a separate post, but I went back and reread a bunch of the thread, and someone posted a Twitter post that said they were making this a movie. When I was in Act 1, I thought this would make an awesome movie. Now? There's no way you can condense this shit into even 3 hours. It really needs...

    Yeah, this. I'm only slightly ahead of you (around level 80). Although I'd throw Frozen Hearts in there after The Reacher (Maelle's side quest). And if you can bumblefuck you way through it all and keep pumping Maelle, you can do Dark Shores and grab Corpseso and tons of Grandiose and start...

    Absolutely not, especially not with today's mortgage rates. Shit, put it in CD's if it's money you need in the short term but it's burning a hole in your pocket. Homes are generally not the greatest investments. They "work" because you need a place to live anyway, so you're taking that rent...

    Fuuuuck. Just finished up Act 2. I can't wait to see how Hollywood fucks the adaptation of this up. Looking forward to finishing up the story. Those last two bosses of Act 2 were also brutal. As I was doing the Monolith Lumiere I was really getting sick of the fucking parry minigame, but those...

    I went into this blind, and only watched the first episode, but I guess this wasn't what I was expecting at all. Is this supposed to be a comedy? It...didn't really have anything to make me laugh whatsoever, but the tone was clearly supposed to be very lighthearted. I thought this would be some...

    Honestly, I had the same thought. Last year going through the VA for PTSD and a therapist really fucked me up. It was pretty miserable there for a good 8 months, and I'm not sure I particularly want to reopen that wound. Had this one sitting in the queue for a week though. Worse is that not...
