    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    It's a Bethesda game. If you love Bethesda games then you will most likely love this one. They stuck to their formula, put it in space, and it works. I can take or leave Bethesda games (still haven't played Skyrim), but I like the comfort of knowing where they are coming from. I also like the...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I created a quick outpost on Procyon, no contraband checks. Built a storage unit and throw all of my contraband in there for now.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Fucking robot gets in the way and steals my kills. Other than that, liking the game so far.

    Black Desert

    Whatever the latest class is will be OP for months, other than that it's FOTM. Pretty typical mmo stuff. I don't worry about it too much. Play a sorc main, it's not top tier, was a bit of a pain to get the hang of, and I'm not a great player by any measure. But I always go back to it, I just...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    I imagine that Purdy had the benefit of nobody having much tape on him or familiarity with his style. They have plenty of tape on him now, and NFL defenses are excellent at adjustments once they have a little knowledge. So it wouldn't be surprising for Purdy to regress this year and turn out to...

    Black Desert

    BDO is nothing like at launch when spending money on certain things, like outfits pets, tears, etc.. was almost mandatory. Most of those items they give a way free on a regular basis now, or can be bought off the auction house. New and returning players get a bundle of stuff just to show up...

    Ashes of Creation

    I wonder if it would be possible to make all pvp encounters in the open world ignore gear and level. Just whatever skills your class has. Even the playing field and force "fair" fights. You could sill keep the PvE level and gear stats for PvE content. High level players with huge gear...

    Ashes of Creation

    Not complaining, It does't bother me, part of the game. And I lose nothing. I didn't care when the game was griiefer heaven. PA gives out tears like candy. But with all of the penalties that griefers get in BDO these days, I just think it's funny that they lose so much for the activity and I...

    Ashes of Creation

    Lol, of course not. But everywhere outside of towns is a combat area. With much less people and npcs to slow down a horse. And horse training is easy to setup and go afk. Work keeps me very, very busy. Has for years. One of the main reasons I play BDO is my computer can do most of the work...

    Ashes of Creation

    Because griefer games don't sell. I do a lot of afk horse training in BDO. Training in town is safe but too slow, so I train in combat areas. About once a year someone will kill me out in in the open while I'm afk. I shrug when I get back, respawn and move on with nothing lost. Chuckling at...

    Black Desert

    I use ESDF. It gives me more keys to access using the pinky. I remapped BDO to this setup and it works just fine. All the combos work, etc. I moved shift to A. It's an amazingly fluid setup. BDO is smart enough to move most of the combo selections. The tutorial etc, still mention the original...

    BDO has a ton of people playing lately. More than even a few months ago when I started up again. Anyone know why?

    Black Desert

    This is not the same game I played when it released. Everything is different. The grind was brutal, p2w was more pronounced, the pvp was fun (and lvl 40) and not so heavily gear based (yet), people were crying about the p2w ghillie suit being a must have (it wasn't). etc. I quit after a year...

    The Witcher

    Will probably watch this eventually, next time I get Netflix. But it's a hard series to watch, it's very confusing and disjointed. Had to re-watch most of the first season just to try and figure out what was going on. By the end of the second season was losing interest. Then Cavill bailed and...

    Final Fantasy 16

    It's probably a good game but I refuse to listen to any reviews, except from the players. Journalists and click baiters need ad revenue, so they can't afford to piss off their clients by telling the truth.

    Swords of Legends Online

    https://www.mmobomb.com/news/swords-of-legends-online-becomes-exactly-that-legend-shutdown-announced I tried it a few months ago. Nobody online, was weird.

    Ashes of Creation

    Mmo's tend to have very complicated damage systems across multiple different classes. Learning those systems takes a lot of time and effort to "get gud", and it only works for that game. Your skills don't transfer to another game if you want to take a break. In contrast, FPS games all tend to...

    Getting the itch to play this again. Been a long time. First toon was a fat trooper. Story was good. Not one of the better ones but it had it's moments. I screwed up and let the girl die though..

    Combat is apparently really bad. Locked in place tab target stuff where you can't move or damage stops. Melee are especially fucked.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    So? Memory is cheap. Considering what Jay just spent for just his 4090, spending $2,999 on a complete system that has a 4090 AND a I9-13900k is a fucking good deal. Adding another 100 to upgrade the memory doesn't change that. And if you actually check the reviews on the HP Omen 45L, they...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    The afk systems are great for people too busy to play much. It still lets you profit and actually have a rl career / life. I've been so busy with work and rl the last few years, BDO became my main mmo by default. Very cool. BDO is just fucking unique. It has endless systems to get lost in that...

    Lost Ark Online

    40 - 50k concurrent players is a very good number. Any company would love those numbers. Lost Ark is still one of the most popular games on Steam, even if you adjust out the bots.

    Chrono Odyssey

    BDO and GW2 are my favorite mmos. Mainly because of the combat. But also because they are very different games from typical mmos. My only major issue with BDO is that I can't play it and GW2 at the same time. The keybinds and combos are so different that it fucks with my muscle memory.

    Wheel of Time (Amazon) already did that. And since most Hollywood movies are derivative drek, it's almost guaranteed that you are right.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Pretty much. As long as "The Message" (WOKEanda forever!) is more important than the audience, Star Wars will continue to be garbage. As will the rest of the current Disney offerings.

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    Best I can tell, McDaniels didn't like Carr changing the plays at the line. Which is one of the main reasons why the Raiders were never serious about Rodgers. Rodgers is going to do what Rodgers does, he's a proven vet. Also, Carr just didn't like McDaniels. Hope I'm wrong in this, but...

    WvW roaming can be fun too,. Or brutal, some really good solo players out there (not me). I will follow a zerg for a while and then run off and do other things. Sometimes join a small group for a few objectives, fights, or go solo. Lots of options with all the different classes and elites. Will...

    Couldn't resist the call of the herd, got the game a couple days ago. No regrets. Not a huge fanboy, only seen the movies. This is a very refreshing game. Don't do single player games much, but this one has kept me occupied more than any other sp in recent memory. Combat's kind of fun and the...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Fuck em, pay the man. They really treated Carr badly. Raiders have pissed me off so much this season. Never been so mad at their idiocy. Marc Davis is turning out to be worse than Al during his senile years. Thank god Tom Brady finally retired for good. Marc wanted his old ass and that would...

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    I pay for a 300mb line, Amazon and then rotate the others. Saves money over the old days of $140 a month. Football season is rough though. Have to pay for Fubo, or similar, and that's not cheap. If you don't watch too much sports, then streaming really isn't that expensive as long as you can...

    The Last of Us

    Apparently a lot of people agree. Episode had very high ratings. I only watched where the couple met, the raider fight, then their end of days. Fast forwarded through the rest. If I wanted to watch relationship soap crap I'd binge Bridgerton, or whatever it's called.
