    Everquest Legends

    Are they planning on making the 8man raids hard? I thought Meant you could solo the raids, or form a group with others and faceroll the content. Everything I've read makes me think it's a trivial, grindy game that you can p2w your way out of the grind.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Ever since I learned how most big budget trailers are made by a different studio than the movies I've stopped even paying attention to them.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    This story is mostly clickbait and we're the marks. At the very bottom of the article: The original thread is much better than the Yahoo article, albeit is itself AI generated. but tldr, it blames the cloud-based IT infrastructure (Railway) much more than the AI, and is a warning...

    Loved the book, loved the movie. I was a little disappointed but not surprised that Ray Porter (audiobook narrator) wasn't the voice of Rocky but finding out that Rocky wasn't just CGI and was actually a puppet AND the voice used was the lead puppeteer and was recorded during the takes is...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    In short kills, yeah. Harm Touch is carrying a lot of weight in that fight. In longer kills they are still very good DPS. ShadowKnights in live are absurdly powerful in all scenarios except for tanking raid bosses where warriors are still kings. Cast: Harm Touch XXXIII Harm Touch XXXIII, when...

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    I've never used MacroQuest but I'm curious how you quantify this. Here's a random DPS summary from https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/3-characters-what-for-the-4-5-and-6th-spot.96487/ (Wiz, SK, dru, enc, shm, bard) Are you outpacing that and by how much?

    The foot pedals here are mostly a joke. The real interest is how good using a joystick for movement and mouse for camera is in games like elden ring. It's just tough to get enough buttons hound, which is where the foot pedals help a little.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm enjoying Arknights: Endfield's soundtrack, especially Wuling City. Any soundtrack for a game you've never played won't ever hit as hard, but they have some good melodies.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yeah, I agree. This is kind of a more hypothetical situation where WotC isn't a mess. I'm the security guard in this clip. I want it to be one way, but it's the other way.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    An extension to the Karlach storyline is probably the only thing that would get me to do a second playthrough of BG3. She's one of my all time favorite companions and watching her tragedy play out again would put a somber mood on the whole playthrough. Kind of like the second time I watched...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    That's all totally plausible. And I think it would've been very positive if WotC spun up a "sustainment" development crew that worked with Larian to build DLC / expansions for BG3 while working to make their engine and mod tools a licensed system.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    In an alternate universe, Larian would be releasing Torment II around now while supporting their game engine as a major platform for other devs. Conversely, even if WotC came to terms with Larian about BG3 support, I think Larian would rather develop new IP and only did BG3 to make money so...

    I wish they'd add a more challenging and more rewarding sanity using task. Just an "Agony" mode to the existing tasks with a 50% boost in rewards would be enough.

    I didn't know that. It's a pretty good word. I wonder how good AI is at generating similar names. https://chatgpt.com/share/69e8d4cd-eb0c-83ea-b7e8-6be5f1daa4cc Not bad, not great. It didn't really get creative and started to hallucinate words. Probably would've been better to ask it to be...

    Elden Ring

    Hmm... I think you're underrating the impact of casting. I am genuinely curious what Oscar-level performances you think directors have pulled out of the worst actors. Additionally, I imagine Alex Garland is as involved in the casting decisions of the main actors as most directors are, so...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    People regularly suggest that AI should replace CEOs. The natural extension of that is an AI that replaces supervisors and middle management. I guess the AI saw an employee on their phone too much, so they edited the handbook to restrict phone usage, which is pretty funny.

    LitRPG

    Hmm, I don't agree with that. Primal Hunter reallllly focuses on Jake as a hunter and alchemist in a story that strives to be more relaxing than intense, while there's a lot of more variety in LitRPG. Someone could find the fight and alchemy scenes in Primal Hunter boring and really shouldn't...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    How do you know there's a new detection implemented? Does it block or notify you? I kind of just assumed they could easily detect MQ usage and sometimes acted on that, but always knew. There are just so many ways to embed detections to see if your memory and binaries are being futzed with, but...

    I sit down ready to go full pity and finally burn through my currency for Zhuang Fangyi, because certainly my good luck has run out right? Then I got her on the free headhunting permit they give you. That's two operators I've gotten from the sign in bonus headhunting permits, Zhuang and...

    I don't know what plot they'll contrive to get Maverick in an F-14 where he is a monster and I don't care. After Maverick and a hundred other bangers he's earned my trust! But this might also be a modern rendition of the US military and just be him flying F-22's and bombing civilians in Gaza.

    Wait, i don't understand, how did you stack free pulls? I know you can get lots of generic banner pulls, but do you have some way to save the operator specific pulls for a different operator?

    Arknights Endfield

    It's funny how big of an impact the sign in event that gives tickets has on the game. The first three days they give out 2, 2 and 1 free banner tickets, so the optimal play is to avoid pulling for the banner operator until the third day. But I'd love to play the new content while I learn a new...
