    A gaming oddity: A game with a longer development time than Star Citizen finally got released. This game originally started work in 2003: Don't plan on playing it, just something kinda interesting.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I find it the total opposite for both GTA and Cyberpunk, where I enjoyed the main story and the "side" stories that were tied to the main story, while skipping most everything else. The side missions got repetitive/stale after 2 or 3 times and the driving did not compare to a real racing game...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    The Discord channel (not sure how many work on it) has kept the following google spreadsheet mostly current since Velious, and it looks like its been updated quite a bit since I quit. When a new xpac drops, it takes a few weeks for the min/maxers to decide on a "good enough" list, get it written...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Flurry cap for this server was lowered to something like 75% at the start of PoP along with other changes, but I don't think any others involved waisted AA points by spending over cap. Up until that point, Mag/Bst made it easy to get 100% flurry. As for PoP pets, when I stopped playing a month...

    Computerized Embroidery

    Yea, no idea on the machine side, other than some sewing machines can only do up certain materials. So I would assume that embroidery machines operate the same way, with only commercial grade machines able to do things like leather or suede (not that you said you were planning on doing anything...

    Computerized Embroidery

    That guy probably had a decent amount of experience and/or it was a simple logo. As an alternative to learning the software yourself, I had a somewhat complicated 4 color 6in x 4in logo converted a while back by a company online. I don't remember the name of the place but it was pretty cheap and...

    7 Days to Die

    Kenshi is a third person survival, base building, squad management, RPG-lite, with some RTS like battles. You control when and how much your base/crew gets attacked, by how you interact with the game and where you build your base (whose land you build on). Valheim is a first person decent solo...

    Fréwaka (2025)

    Indeed. I didn't know it was a horror channel in particular. It looked like it was owned by AMC, so it just became the AMC streaming service. Sort of like how Paramount has original programing and CBS shows at the same time.

    Fréwaka (2025)

    I don't much like horror movies or TV shows unless they are exceptional; generally when they lean into the suspense/thriller and involve space (Event Horizon), involve space creatures (The Thing), or both (Alien(s)/Pandorum). I often wonder if it's due to having few if any superstitions, so I...

    Fréwaka (2025)

    Looking on the list of Shudder Originals I don't see anything I even recognize, let alone talked well of here. I also wrote off AMC and haven't watched anything (other than Better Call Saul) they have made after finding TWD too ridiculous to keep watching (around season 4). Also, the midseason...

    Purchase Lossless or High Quality Audio

    Subscription service might be worth it, depending on how much you think you will be buying. Some years ago I subbed to Deezer for a while, as they were one of the few that streamed FLAC (lossless), back then. You can set up playlists, set it to play artist by discography, or album by album. At...

    Woodworking

    While I doubt I would have any suggestions, as I have not worked with fancy/large woodworking tools, a clarification on what they are crafting might help others. All you mentioned was crates, so for example if all they are crafting are custom sized crates for safely shipping various odd sized...

    Ah, right. So instead of doing the thing I don't want to do most (level up items) I can instead put an egg in that slot and level it up instead! ...so open them up immediately it is! Thanks for the info.

    What are the rewards for the Easter event? If they really are buffing WiZ, I might be temped to play before it ends. Although I don't hear of any item XP changes and that's one of the major things keeping me away.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Ranger/SK/x is a really strong combo, but there are others. Ranger pairs really well with the proc base classes, so RNG/ROG/x is strong too. The discord has a bunch of discussion on the various combos, with the amount of posts in a thread denoting how popular they are. Discord has it's annoying...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Do you have it memorized more than 1 time in the spell book? I get the DnD4e and DnD5e rules confused sometimes, but I think 5e Clerics still need to mem the spell for every time you want to cast it. So if you have five spell_level_1 slots, you need to fill those slots with Create Water, if you...

    I have it on the list as well. The steam reviews seem to be really good for it. Maybe bump it up to next on the backlog after Dave the Diver.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Up until that point only Peter Moulinex had the reputation of lying his ass off to hype his games before they were released. It was the golden age of wRPGs and there was little reason to doubt them. Little did I know that Oblivion was the harbinger for the end of that age.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Aye, it's been a while so it's difficult to remember and it was before the internet remembers everything, so it's also difficult to go back and find various interviews. I don't remember listening to a thing Todd or Pete said for Skyrim, so no idea what they promised for it (or maybe I didn't...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I played them both on release too. For Oblivion I got 20 to 30 hours out of it and three or so same-sy rifts before realizing Todd and Pete spewed lies out their assholes all over me and I believed it all since Morrowind was so good. Obviously I was more jaded with Skyrim, but still couldn't...

    Lies. Oblivion and Skyrim are trash filled puddles without mods, while Morrowind can be improved but doesn't need them.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Todd is just a suit and spin man, all the talent left or was fired long long ago. If anything needed changed for Morrowind (such as the current gamebro engine not allowing flying), there is no one left that could deliver anything close to the classic experience. Hell, Oblivion was the start of...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    The current set up has incentivized me to play other games. Setting up a trader is ass and when I did it for Luclin, it took almost as much time to scan and set prices as it did actually playing the game. So I couldn't care less about what would happen to prices if they cut the time to level...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Minthara was a more like a "hidden" companion on release, where you needed to be evil and side with her, basically killing all the "good" people. I think you even lost 3 party members, just so you could get her. She was the least finished and had the lowest amount of dialog. One of the patches...

    This requires a bunch of augs plus some bag from Zeb, right?

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    That's the party I went with on first playthrough too (killed the vampire as well). There is one more companion that you can find at any time in chapter 1, which you will eventually run into (the other is at the end of the chapter). How soon depends on which way you explore. Small hint:

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    The change to item XP sounds good, depending on how it's implemented, but making DDD no longer twin castable probably totally fucks me for PoFire. Since wizard AoE spells lag and/or totally crash me out, that seems like an over nerf, when it really just needed a damage reduction to be closer in...

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    Used? Do you replace the cloth part of the muffs when you get them, because having some unknown persons skin, oil, and sweat imbedded (along with who knows what may have been spilled/soaked through) due to hours and hours of use, sitting on my skin sounds disgusting. Watch an Asmondgold video...

    The Last of Us

    Not sure if serious, but if so, I guess the lifting bros over at the misc missed how much controversy the second game got when it was released. I played neither game but know all about it due to how it tied into the whole continuing Gamergate culture war. Hell, I even remember a comedy game...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Picking things willy nilly and going your own way is one thing, but stumbling into perhaps the best way to totally gimp yourself is another. In both the DnD and Pathfinder games, of all time periods, pure classes are viable in all content outside of maybe the hardest difficulty(s), which is...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It sounds like you have no idea what you are doing. Multiclassing is not really for N00bs. Fighter is generally better than Barb, or was, but not by a lot, just respec and pick one. Fighters get Action Surge that gives an extra action and it's recovered on a short rest. The best Battle Master...

    From the archive, best drummer to ever drum. Pretty sure he is a Jedi, since he doesn't need sticks: Here is Muse, who is so talented they all switched instruments before the show and it still sounds just like the studio!

    Drugs to steer clear of

    Maybe it shouldn't be a surprise where shit like this turns up, but thought it was a bit funny. Was watching a police video of a 140 MPH chase and while searching the perp's car one of the cops says he thinks they found Kraytom. None of them knew what the fuck it truly is, including the guy who...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    So did they add a bunch of stuff to chapter 3 to "finish" it like they said they may do, back when it was released? I think Sven talked about the Noble Quarter, which was scrapped part way through development. I am assuming no, as that would have probably got the most publicity.

    The Warhammer bit is a statement from the IP holder, not the studio or the studio owner (has Game's Workshop changed anything else after the backlash of the first change?), but yea, for Ishtar I looked at the main statement on the About page, not the Team page where they list all their pronouns...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Part of the reason multiclass works so well with EQ is the low amount of abilities EQ classes get. WoW classes already had a full bar+ of abilities in Vanilla, so I wouldn't think having 3 classes of abilities would work as well in that game.
