    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I could see where they are trying to go, if they are trying to make druids an acceptable replacement for clerics and wizards. That would mean in Summer stance they would need to be as good of a healer as a cleric but also as bad as cleric DPS. Then switched in Winter stance to the point they...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    That seems a little extreme to get into a game's alpha test... but then again, you could also investigate what these people are trying to do to this 1000+ pound log while you are there: SOURCE

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    The olive oil works fine for turning the Emeril's spice mix into a marinade and soaking into the meat for 1 to 4 hours. Then it smokes off fast when the meat is thrown into an extremely hot and "dry" cast iron pan. The meat sears up just as well as any other way to sear a steak and the Emeril's...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Should probably try that next time, if I want to take the time to clarify some butter, but since I rarely cook with it or Ghee, it never comes to mind. The olive oil does an adequate job.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    I was mostly talking about The Departed, with a few scenes like the Cranberry one above and Wahlberg's theory on FEDs... but yeah, almost all of Scorsese's crime movies have multiple good quote excerpts. The Casino memorable lines are mostly longer monologues though. Some of the shorter ones...

    Gothic Remake

    I remember liking the Gothic series as much as Morrowind and certainly more than any other FPS RPGs made before 2010 or so. It's hard to compare them with the more modern games like The Witcher 3 or even Skyrim with a plethora of well developed mods (Gothic 2/3 > vanilla Skyrim), but I also...

    Your Friends & Neighbors

    While I didn't hate this season like the previous people, I am mostly just disappointed that this didn't turn into something like "the early years" of the main characters in To Catch a Thief and/or The Thomas Crown Affair (but in the present day setting). With so many average looking women in...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Gotta doubt the masculinity of any man that can't quote multiple lines from The Departed! Next you're going to say you have never seen Gangs of New York, Casino, or Goodfellas.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    The Departed is easily the best movie he has been in and certainly a memorable performance. As is every "main" character in that movie. Hell, even the side characters; as Wahlberg has some of the most memorable lines/scenes.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Were those new changes already implemented, for the most part? Decided to play a little with mage and see a zone I hadn't been to before, so last night ran a level 10 mage plus a healer up to Blacktide Bay. Spent most of the time with yellow con ratmen where a double pull was difficult to...

    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 remakes

    Can't wait to see how they deal with Edwina. Instead of it being a "punishment" he will be a proud yas queen and will call the dude that dispels it transphobic before attacking him.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    As a standalone system, I hate it and think its retarded. When they implement player owned trader stalls then it could be good, depending on how that is implemented. I absolutely hated trading in the EC tunnel and pretty much did solo/not-solo self found for almost all of my EQ playtime. The EQ...

    Haven't dealt with many Mormons, eh? Pretty sure they have one of those rules where it's ok to fuck over people outside of LDS without getting in trouble with Jesus. The whole swearing to God that he would do something, that he ultimately didn't do, is the only part where he might have got a...

    The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026)

    Has this been confirmed somewhere as to how things currently work? I though the movie studios had found ways to effectively eliminate royalties in the 90s or 00s via creative accounting.

    Riiiiight, the original creators shitting on sequels usually works out well for the people that do that and most of the time when that happens it's some writer that can still get books published. Furthermore, Feargus Urquhart is just a suit, not a creative, so his opinion on anything is...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Last I looked, early in the season, seals were reportedly dropping from any bosses that can drop other mythics. Not sure how long I spent in T10 or higher with "boosted" seal drop rate (from level ~200 to 240 paragon, probably), but I never had one drop. I may have missed something in the build...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I switched to Selig build by both using new gear coming in, rerolling a few items, and having a second neck, fully rolled well in cube. I had a ton of the mats for reforging rerolls (reroll every item until it became a star) and decent amount of neck transfigure tokens to get good second aspect...

    I wrote my senator about banning P99 and TAKP just the other day. I told him those people (players) need be on multiple government lists and should probably just be put in jail for the public's safety. He hasn't wrote back yet, so I'll give him another week before I call the president.

    Ancient Kingdoms

    The crown that the Dwarf king gives you is part the longest quest line in the game (not that you use the crown again, from the looks of it). After the crown, you go to the Twisted Haunt, then Krom Raz, then the Water Alter event, then Vault. There doesn't seem to be anything else close to it, in...

    There is no Fallout RTS that I know of, at least when RTS means real time strategy. There was a Turn Based Strategy game called Fallout: Tactics; I played it when it was released and from what I remember, it was ok, but nowhere near as good as Jagged Alliance 2. Fallout 1 and 2 would be...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The channel is left leaning, so I chalk that up to trying to insert their own bias of 'everyone should be driving EVs.' Knowing their bias makes it easier to process the information out of their stuff. They seem to do some decent work on some subjects similar to 2010s era Frontline-lite...

    I didn't buy a horse until after level 50. I kept needing space, so I kept buying it until it felt like a ridiculous price for what I was making. For the big trips around the world, I didn't have much of an issue getting enough rep to buy the portal scrolls to 3 of the 4 cities by the time I was...

    I spent almost all gold buying bank slots up until like slot 4 or 5 (whichever one was 50k). Then I looked up what a house has and you can get a few more account wide "bank" pages before they also get super expensive. All houses across all zones and all characters share the same storage. For...

    I took this as more of a comment on the movie industry than the movie itself. I can't think of a better movie in the past 3 or 4 years because movies are all shit these days.

    The only time I remember getting 500 AA "a night" in THJ was when the alt catchup mechanic was in full swing while blowing up PoFire powerleveling alts and slowly leveling gear. On my first character, when I was finally able to pull half of DN at a time, it was still around 50 - 70 AA an hour...
