How do you get tonfa to trivialize everything? I want to trivialize everything. Got to the big boss with a fire head and an ice head, got absolutely clobbered. Went and grinded ten or so levels to get some tonfa practice (went from about level 8 to about level 18) which didn't take long at all...

This one isn't actually symmetrical. Viewed from above, it looks like this It's still a weird one given how triangular it is. There are a number of similar triangles or pyramid-like shapes in the Amazon. Supposedly the Atlantean civilization spanned both Amazonnes and North Africa / Spain...

That's right, I remember now. I got a sound bar / surround sound system back when I bought the TV, and it used that. Ended up not keeping it because the TV's innate sound system is plenty for me, I'm not much of a sound connoisseur. Liking the Pro so far, the games it improves to a great degree...

Actually, probably more like 3 hours a week, not as far in Nioh 2 as I thought. I'm near the end of the third main "world". No plans to do anything with the DLC. Got some nice bonuses at the beginning of Nioh 3, probably because I played the demo? Ice armor, lightning armor, and another one...

Said it before, but culturally at this moment, "drunks being all drunk" isn't cool or appealing anymore. Substance abuse stopped being "cool" when overdose deaths and everything else went through the roof in the early 2020s. Young people care about health more than they used to, and a...

Anyone ever play "I Am Setsuna"? I never did because it was always $40 on the PS Store which is too much to throw out on a relative unknown, think it's 20 now though. Digital-only back then, maybe it's physical now. In any case, I heard from a couple people that it was a great modern Chrono...

Yeah I'm gonna need this. I watched my first 4K Blu-Ray on the PS5 the other day, Star Trek Beyond. The movie's alright but the visuals were insane, I'm sold on 4K BRs now. What is that skull helmet Kurgan wears supposed to be, anyway? A sabertooth tiger? A large bear? It's surprising the...

Pretty good podcast about Highlander. They have episodes on each movie, the overall The Series, each season individually, and two episodes for The Source because there's so much to get into. Their delivery is a little bit "sleepy, inoffensive NPR people" at times but they're big fans and know...

What's eARC? I'm out driving right now but yeah I think I remember seeing the label back there. I googled it earlier and it said that all of the LG C1's HDMI ports are 2.1, but I don't remember that being the case when I bought it...also it says there are four HDMI ports, but there are only...

It isn't as much as it seems, considering Nioh 1 was spread out over like five years and I started Nioh 2 at the beginning of this year. I've spent probably 5 hours a week on Nioh on average in 2026, if I had to guess, which yes is a fair amount, but not enough for me to get sick of it. Have...

Friend and I have been playing RE9 one evening every week. Just did the third session. The game really grinds on. We wasted probably two extra hours in the big open area with Leon towards the end of the game, which kept us from finishing the game. The area with the giant spider. Just going...

People were saying that the Tonfa is really good/OP in Nioh 3? How can I make an OP Tonfa build? Just invest in the main scaling stat and profit, or is there a technique to it? Axe'd my way through Nioh 1 and half of 2 (so far) and would really like a change of pace for 3.

I assume the HDMI cable that can with the PS5 Pro is a 2.1. I have the regular PS5 hooked up with a Best Buy 2.1 cable so I can use that if not. I have an LG C1 and the three HDMI ports are slightly different, like I think port 1 is better with a 2.1 cord? So I keep the main system plugged into...

Am I the only one that really doesn't like the visual style? It's kind of yawn-inducing for some reason. Too zoomed-out, character sprite not detailed enough, reminds me of the Dominique DLC in Bloodstained. Covering some of the century-turn Dracula revivals that don't have games already is a...

When I went from a Sony 4K LED TV to an LG C6 (the 2016 version) 4K OLED with HDR back in 2017, it was seriously like going up a full console generation. PS4 games suddenly looked like PS5 games and PS3 games suddenly looked like PS3.5 games. Anything with a lot of deep blacks, like Persona 5...

I just went out and bought one from Target earlier tonight. That Gamestop trade-in is actually a good deal. I'll probably just format my original PS5 and put it on Ebay for whatever it goes for after the price raise. Wanted to get traded up before the price raise and before the long-in-the-tooth...

The portable functions are really the only reason to have a Switch 2 over a PS5. It's really useful for folks that need to take a game with them traveling or on the go in general. Also useful if I'm tired and have to go to bed, but also want to keep playing something a bit longer. If it's PS5...

Yeah I think I'll just pay the full MSRP rather than invite in whatever headaches these might be. Surprised to see such sketchy activity allowed to go on in such abundance. Pro probably isn't worth the upgrade, but it has significant boosts to 8 of the 12 or so games left on my PS5 shortlist.

What's with the multitude of PS5 Pros on Ebay that are all listed by accounts with zero feedback ratings? Most of them are in the 400's too, while the MSRP is $750... the hell?

What's rustling my jimmies: Was parked and getting out of my Tesla on the side of a residential street (25 MPH speed limit). As I was walking around to the back of the car (to get out of the street) someone in a particularly filthy Subaru hybrid coming from the opposite direction (so in the...

I've had this happen multiple times. Something is marked as delivered, it isn't there, I file a complaint, it shows up days later. They need to stop doing this and get a better system going.

Having this annoying issue with USB thumb drives and not being able to move videos off of the PS5. I had a thumb drive for years that worked fine, but it eventually got broken. I tried a couple other old, smaller drives lately and they all do this. Got a new good-sized one that is USB 3.2 and...

So, is the PS5 Pro worth getting before the price goes up? I don't expect to see PS6 for a while. My PS5 is getting pretty long in the tooth (I got it on day one) and I could recoup almost half the Pro's current cost by selling my PS5 while it is still in great working condition. Thinking about...

I mean, probably. Mr. Nobody from JW4 is probably the next most interesting thing they can follow up on, after Caine and the daughter. Ballerina was a bit pointless (why introduce a new character for a spinoff when we have multiple spinoff-worthy characters already?) but I'm looking forward to...

No one gives a fuck about whether she's gay or not. Jesus H, this thread is stupid. Just a bunch of people hating on shit and half of it isn't even sensical. Let's see how this thing turns out, ya? I mean, I wasn't planning on trying it, but if it's good, it might be like a second THJ that...

Looks like the CAINE spinoff is a go. No John Wick in this one and it likely takes place after JW4. He'll be hunted by the daughter of the Japanese guy, most likely. Fuckin' Donnie Yen, man. I've been watching this guy for 26 years and it's good to see him finally hit it big. ......also he...

I lost all interest in this when they got rid of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega over being mildly critical of Israel. Scream 5 and 6 did a great job building towards a final act with those two, specifically Barrera's character's family lineage leaving her with hereditary mental issues. Her...

Why the hell are they jumping prices like that? +20% on the PS5 Pro. Never seen anything like it. They noticed Nintendo's fans give them a total pass on being greedy, and decided it was time to do the same?

I think you're right. Architecture is being held back a little bit to accomodate old generations. It's a bit like when a new console generation comes out and most of the first year of games are cross-platform with the previous gen. That always frustrated the hell out of me. It was especially...

It's funny how, from these two sentences, I don't even have to ask what political side they're on.

Yeah, the lameness of this system isn't all that surprising. Prime 4 was depressing. Kart World is a significant step down from Kart 8 Deluxe. Eventually it'll get a 2D Mario, a Zelda, a 3D Mario. What about the other 50 weeks of the year though?

You know you need to get out more when you look at this and think "damn, that's one lucky boar"

I hope it does well. It's cool to see something actually new being tried.

Well I did it, I beat Nioh 1. That game is HARD, especially the final battle (Orochi, not the final final thing). Sloth didn't trivialize it nearly as much as people say it does. Went with Axe and heavy use of Sloth, Weakness, and Pleaides+Energize (or whatever that other talisman that starts...

Not sure where this would go thread-wise but I realized something major about Star Trek Enterprise, that ill-fated show from the beginning of the 2000's. This week I rewatched Beyond for the first time since I saw it in theaters. Movie is a bit dull, not real keen on the 3 Abrams-Trek movies to...

This is tremendous, the kind of thing that would turn things around a bit for the Switch 2. Mario 64 remaster + lost levels being completed. This and an Ocarina remake (not a remaster, a full modern remake for that one, spend some money Nintendo).

I definitely prefer the back half of every season being in France. The first half feels like a regular show, while the back half feels more RPG-ish with the old historic environments and the cold weather. One of the Highlander blogs I read had a good policy on The Source: Turn it off once The...

The Duende episode in Highlander Season 5 is kind of fascinating. It has one of the biggest immortal threats in the series with Otavio Consone, plus what might be the best fight scene in the entire series. The actor that played Consone (seen here) was actually the runner-up to star as Duncan if...

RIP Nicholas Brendan, who played Xander on Buffy. Guy was only 54. Last time I saw him he was on Doctor Phil, and seemed like he had a lot of problems. That's a damn shame.
