    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    They were half-elves, I think.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I have a feeling you ha e not read the relevant books which give a very solid view of the world during that time, or the book which set a very detailed foundation for the series itself. There is no reason not to follow the basic setting that Tolkien setup in Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Well, I'd advise NOT to read anything, since doing so will only make the show that much worse. If you're deadset on reading though, then read Unfinished Tales and the Silmarillion. They have everything this show will massacre.

    Black Desert

    Only reason I stopped playing my Striker was that the Awakening was a big disappointment for me, it felt too different than pre-awakening, so I shelved it. Haven't given Succession a try, but I -think- Striker is less combo heavy compared to Mystic, but its considered one of the best classes, so...

    Black Desert

    You'll be playing a very different game than what you might remember from way back in 2017. When you're doing a Season character, when you get sent to Velia to speak the Alchemist guy, he will give you a "crossroads" decision: 1) Follow the MSQ's through Mediah, or 2) Level up via grinding. Both...

    Black Desert

    I got pretty lucky in the past week. First, there was some Shop RNG box that you could buy for 100m which had a chance at giving you a box with multiple outfits, I got the box with 7. Made a few billion of those. Then two days ago I purified some Earth lightstones and got one called Veil, which...

    Black Desert

    I played Mystic when she released, and before I settled on Witch. She was the first class I hit lvl60 on via just grinding since she was so much fun back then. She has had a lot of nerfs / buffs since, and I recently tried her out again, but I get pissed off at how inconsistently I can fire off...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    But where did black elves come from? Or how did the royal line of Numenor end up being black?

    Single greatest song ever written?

    Single greatest song? Impossible. This thread shows just how impossible with just about every listed song being worthy. Edit: My two choices which haven't been listed would be: Bob Marley - Three Little Birds Blind Melon - No Rain

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Given what we've seen, its going to be a lot of Galadriel travelling all over the place, which I doubt she ever did... didn't see ever mentioned in the Akallabeth(?) as visiting Numenor. I have no idea if they are going to show the War between Sauron and the Eregion elves (who were saved by...

    Two female bisexual whores, two male bisexual whores, and a couple story characters at least.

    Genshin Impact

    Is there a National lvl team comp made of only Adult characters (adult as in their models are large)? I know team comps are all about character synergies, but my knowledge of skill effects / artifact sets / rotations when specifically looking at the following character list is minimal at best...

    Genshin Impact

    Yea, I've really enjoyed the Kazuha and Xinyan sections of the event, but haven't progressed further as the Mona and Fischl sections seem far too puzzle heavy.

    Genshin Impact

    I have too many characters that are underlvl'd. Main thing holding me back is the sheer volume of dialogue driven quests I have to do to unlock stuff. I think I'd pay money for a FF14-like skip.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Downloaded the trial version of this on my PS5, and the game runs super smooth. Not sure if I'll buy it as I've seen the MS playthrough and wasn't that interested, plus it looked really janky.

    Black Desert

    There are 5 steps, the first 3 are group fights (up to 3 ppl), the last 2 are solo. I've not finished it myself, as I think I'll run out of time doing the 4th / 5th fights (quite a bit of knockdowns I couldn't see how to avoid. The higher the AP the better, plus using a class that can output...

    Black Desert

    Journals give more than 2, I think. Then you can get 1 more from setting up 2 factor authentication, and 1 more from doing the solo Kzarka quest chain. After that it's expensive, getting two tet distos and lots of caphras lvls in your armor pieces.

    Yea, the second wave will drop the Deportee piece. Makes getting that piece much more convenient.

    Stray - get your pussy on (PS4,5 and Windoze)

    I'm really impressed with the games visual style and the gameworld they built, its great. Reminds me (visually) of Biomutant, and makes me wish there was more to it than playing as a cat.

    Black Desert

    She is a random spawn there now. In regards to Map pieces, when/if they have another Treasure event go to Basilisk Den for the Pilu Ku piece, you'll get it. The piece will drop off the mobs in the second wave on the Statues, kill them, then move on. No need to finish the Statue.

    Awakening Mae apparently got a really big dmg boost this last patch, ppl love it. Edit: I went to the new Elvia Hexe (like 300+/390+) on my Witch (293/351) and it was scary, but a lot of fun. At one point I had the giant Wirdsmith(?) boss plus Hexe Marie and loads of mobs attacking me, it was...

    Genshin Impact

    Yea, my PS5 account hasn't finished Liyue yet, but I used the primo it had saved up over time to make 2 multi rolls on the Kazu banner, got 2 Heizou, which I was hoping for. Now he is stuck at lvl40 (like my PC account) until I clear all current quests. Sucks.

    By skip I meant just pressing "next" several times during the dialogue chain, we can't skip it altogether sadly.

    Genshin Impact

    The quests are sheer torture though. Yes, you can "skip" the volumes of dialogue, but only after the first block of text is typed out. I feel sorry for anyone starting this game who happened to roll on the current banner for Kazuha or Heizou... it will take quite a while to get through all the...

    Shai is different. Highly in demand for group content though, plus they can ride a skateboard. Nice Lifeskill perks too. Edit: Witch/Wiz are also the only classes that allow you to double-tap a directional key for their i-frame/dodge. One of the main reasons I play Witch. ;p

    Black Desert

    Grouping now is about getting items to sell or enhance. The BDO playerbase just doesn't like group content, as much as some might say they do. The 3 person grind spot called "Oluns" is now the best money, and has drops to make an outfit, but it requires high gear / good teamwork. In terms of...

    Black Desert

    I think the better question is to ask about classes which are High or Low APM. The standard High APM class is the Ninja, it can literally give you carpel tunnel syndrome, while a class like Guardian (Awakened) is very low APM. Personally, I like the Witch (Awakened) it is a low APM class that...

    Seagull or Cohh mentioned that someone at DE, in their Discord, said Soulframe would be an "mmo"... whatever that may mean to DE.

    Series X? If not, then no, performance is bad. The Series X should run it just fine though. PC would be the best option.

    Newest class, Drakania, finally has its Awakening trailer. This Awakening seems to have taken PA longer than normal to make, and its kinda crazy looking. Uses dual javelins for some attacks, then 1 javelin + Dragon gauntlet type thing: Oh, and they gave her wings. Weebs gonna orgasm.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    This show could have been pretty amazing, the source material they had to work with could easily be adapted, buuuuut of course they have to inject their own personalities / beliefs. I think all the First Age scenes will have to be flashbacks / memories of Galadriel, since she will be the only...
