    My favorite part of his writing was the "we're in a crazy MMORPG where anything can happen" style that the first 5 books really put on display. It has morphed into a universe-spanning political/technological struggle of the crawlers and AI vs. the outside universe. I think you and I liked the...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I played Rogue Trader for the great story and setting. Combat actually got in the way of that.

    I finally broke down and watched the cutscenes of GoW Ragnarok so that I could see the conclusion of the game. Do you know what is inescapable when you just watch some cutscenes? The modern dialogue from all of the characters outside of Kratos and Freya. It is fucking wild how bad the...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I know Private Equity firms are usually shit for consumers, but in this case I think that it is the best possible outcome from Pizza Hut. Yum has done nothing but destroy every chain they own, so it isn't clear that the normal PE corner cutting and price raising is worse for Pizza Hut's brand...

    They clearly do not understand what made the dialogue in the Norse GoW game so good. It was the worst part about GoW 2 and is obviously going to be the worst part about that game either. I couldn't even fucking finish GoW 2 because the dialogue and quipping were so bad.

    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 remakes

    This will be a disaster and they will shove gay shit in it because that is all BioWare is good for now.

    Escape from New York

    They just take great movies from the past and remake them into shit. This is going to be exactly like Running Man remake-bad.

    This is all some crazy stuff you have posted, but have you looked into who would or should be held liable? I know we have all heard of Caveat emptor, but isn't that what the signed claim about the condition of the house and the inspector are supposed to confirm? Do you sue the inspector for...

    My guy, why is it even an option inside the RNG? How is chill even a thing when you have 0 resists and no gear? Love of God, the first zone has the frozen Unique that chills as well. I love POE and POE2, but it is obvious that they are retardedly holding onto this idea that they need to...

    For sure, but what if there are 50-100k more ARPG-ers like @Noodleface who would stay, play, and spend money if it the first 5 zones didn't feel worse than punching yourself in the balls?

    Path of Exile 2

    I just do not understand why they make the first few zones so punishing. How much faster would it really make league start if they balanced the goddamn mobs around having to hit the player 20 times before death? The fucking league mechanic...the one they want you to interact with because it...

    I just don't see how we can infer anything from random guys posting this data. If you have a face for radio and nothing stands out about your profile then you are going to get those sorts of responses. Those dudes, unfortunately, are going to have to find a different place to meet women. He...

    Go one step further and get a storage unit for a hundred a month and force yourself to put most of your clutter into it. This helps with packing and getting rid of stuff you truly don't need, as well as making pictures and in-person viewing much better. Remember, they don't want to see your...

    It absolutely gutted local banking and forced rapid consolidation to where we are now with giant corporate banks that truly don't give a shit about the surrounding community. What a win for communities he claimed to care about! The world is better with him gone.

    Dodd-Frank is one of the worst pieces of shit that was ever vomited out of Congress. He may have good 'political instincts' but his business instincts and his actual morals were garbage and the country is worse off because of him.

    I'm going to be real with you all. I'd be far less angry at the race swap if he would have picked a someone that is actually attractive for the role. Like if Helen in the old Troy movie had been Swordfish-era Hallie Berry, I would have been totally fine with it.

    Amazing that 38 years after the St. Elsewhere "all a dream" ending was considered so divisive for how dumb it made the whole series feel that we are now at a point where writing is so bad that the same exact ending would make the show 100x better.

    From the male 40's side of this I can say that it usually a little more complicated than that. I have a really busy life and 4 kids in grade school 50% of my time, plus I make it clear on/before the 1st date that they are my first priority. Often, I get the same response from the woman, or if...

    This is exactly what I think, too. I am lenient of artists because I can separate the art from the artist. The problem is that when artist get too full of themselves that they start to think what they say with their art is very important and it starts to suffer from more and more delusions of...

    We will "see" all 18 floors. We already got a floor that wasn't a floor, and with the AI shenanigans that are going on I can almost guarantee we are going to get either super time crunched floors, floors that are mixed together, or some sort of "no AI has had to design past floor 12, there...

    My boys (10, 10, 9, and 7) have never been very interested in Star Wars because I have not really exposed them to anything outside of the original trilogies characters. I purposely never got them anything from the Sequel Trilogy because it is fucking awful. BUT, they saw the Mando/Grogu...

    It is actually impressive how lame the keystones are. GAIN FOUR PERCENT EXTRA DAMAGE AS LIGHTNING??? WHOOOO! I find it funny how much more I craft in this game because of the advanced levels of crafting materials but at the cost of determinism. I also sort of see the complaint about mapping...

    After calling this game ok and not playing for a few seasons I figured out my problem. I was playing a melee mace build. By merely switching to an invoker monk the game became 400% better.
