Maybe I'll do that. Should have asked this sooner instead of posting a whine about it right after the deadline. Then again, doing things in a timely and expeditious manner isn't exactly my strong point nowadays is it? I seriously grappled with this for hours and hours, and put my hands up at...

@Koushirou This is true Do it, weed him out if he can't handle it. If he's from NYC, holy shit, good luck.

Did a lot of Uber the past several years to make ends meet (quite lucrative around a metropolitan area, it turns out). Got a big ol' 1099-K for it. Have to process it myself this year, where previously I had other people do it for me. Trying to put this in on Freetaxusa which I used in the...

My first girlfriend, her Jewish parents really wanted her to break things off with me and that was one of their plays. "Stay away from him for a while and if it's meant to be then you'll get back together" She bought into it fully, having watched lots of romance movies. Having some distance...

Haven't watched basketball in a while. I've always been a San Antonio Spurs guy, mainly Tim Duncan era. Wasn't crazy about Kawhi Leonard, but the NBA gave him the big push for a while. Last time I really tuned in was probably 7 years or so ago. Long story short... Kahwi is a Clipper now? And...

I assume that you can't rent out a leased car, right? Perhaps financed? Or do you have to own the car outright? I've got a 2025 Tesla Model 3 that's pretty damn sick and would probably fetch a pretty solid daily rate to rent out. Wouldn't mind doing that for one or two weekends a month to cover...

DS2 is metal as fuck. The story is good, the world is full of atmosphere, it is WAY prettier than DS1. It also introduces a lot of the mechanics that ER used later to great effect. I'd say it's the worst of the 3 (4 if we're including Demon, though I'd be more likely to group Demon with...

I find DS1 to be the easiest out of all of them. Four Kings and Bed of Chaos are the only parts I really have trouble with. Ornstein and Smough are super-overrated; they have very little HP. I had way way way more trouble with DS3. Matter of fact DS3 is the only one of the seven Fromsoft...

After that is SoD, which is also a really really good expansion across the board, regardless of guild strength. Both SoF and SoD have really compelling content for everyone. TSS through SoF is a must-play era for any EQ fan at least once and sticking around for SoD is a great bonus. Especially...

Huh, I thought it was a new show, because I've never ever heard of it before.

I think Dual Sellsword is what I ended up with later on in Souls 3. One of those "how is it this good" noob/early weapons, like the Bandit Curved Sword (can't remember what it was called, the rusty-looking curved swords with a ton of bleed buildup) in Elden Ring. Get two of those, put Blood...

Reddit isn't even worth posting on. I think probably 50% of the few things I posted in there were gone by the following morning for violating some "rule". And some of the time the rules don't even make much sense, or even contradict each other. Be fully on topic! But not only on topic...

So this looks freaking incredible. Probably a good thing to test with the Pro, right? Does this do anything new for someone who's been around the block with MMOs?

Friend sent me steelbooks of both seasons of Black Lagoon, said I would like it. I have no idea what I'm getting into here. The hot woman rocking twin guns is promising though. I'm always telling him how much I like Cowboy Bebop, so I assume this is similar. Not gonna look it up cause spoilers...

Looks like it yep. He starts with a hand axe, uses that until he gets a club (Reinforced Club, I think), uses that until he reaches the blacksmith, then uses this hammer for the rest. He also had the blacksmith turn the club into a Divine version real quick, and switched to it whenever he had...

Wow. I actually DID replay a bunch of them after I posted this. Definitely did the Dark Souls trilogy, not sure if I also did Demon or Bloodborne. The Berserk references get absolutely insane in Dark Souls 3. I think that a significant fraction of that game was just Berserk referencing.

He uses this for the last 75% or so of the run and it seems absurdly powerful. Chunks everything even at SL1. He has the low health attack buff on most of the time, maybe that's the reason for all the damage. Why go through almost all of the game as an ugly-ass rotted husk, though? If you're...

Pretty much solved all of this

South Dakota? I'll look into it.

I have a Big CRPG Update soon so it's just as well that someone bumped this. Just dealing with the latest life crisis and once that is resolved, big update incoming.

Basically solved this

$80 to play something you can get for $30 new on PS5 and have it run probably significantly better. While I too am on the "fuck Nintendo" train, I have a bunch of things I want to play on their Switch Online Expansion Pass (I completely missed the N64 era and most of the GBA era, plus there are...

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...
