    Longshot > Gambit and most of the X-Men by a mile.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    That shader is nice. I haven’t been on much lately due to my PS5 pad being borderline unplayable with stick drift. Annoying AF dying to laser traps and shit with it. New one on order. Boring story over.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The same animation for unsheathe is used on the Moonlight Katana but the art is way more powerful.

    80s Sword and Sandel / Sorcery / Scandal - 80s fantasy guilty pleasure goodness

    I defer to your superior experience.

    I kind of understood the 1586 speech. I live up in Northumberland, in the north, and some of those words are still in use, "Gan" for go, for example. There's a definite Scandinavian influence on that language in the clip.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    You know, even if it launches there’s still the question over its longevity. How many MMOs have been released in recent years and how many have been shelved or have a population in the double digits?

    Shōgun

    Fair point. I just watched an interview with him and he has a totally normal accent so in the same way as they’re speaking period Japanese I’ll accept he’s speaking a 1600’s southern accent.

    Shōgun

    Enjoying the show so far but I do find myself trying to draw parallels to the 80s version and the book. I quite liked they portrayed Blackthorne as clueless to land warfare, I don't recall that from previous material but it seemed reasonable. My one stumbling block to really loving the show is...

    Shōgun

    They’ll presumably have documents going back hundreds of years with differing levels of grammar / speech styles. Just like trying to read Chaucer or Shakespeare.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Only if you count semen.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah, bikes are by far the easiest/coolest to ride.

    Shōgun

    Enjoying this so far. It’s less a story about Blackthorne and more one about Toranaga though, unlike the initial series. Few scenes are missing that I recall. In the original he was in the prison a lot longer and learned the basics of Japanese from the mad priest.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Even Rock Sling demolishes most enemies and is super easy to get without any combat. Downside is it clips on every random wall or pillar in the game.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Ordovis Greatsword is also a lot of fun. Needs a small amount in Faith but then you can cast Flame Grant Me Strength.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It really is a damn near perfect game. If I play it through again (re-installed it last night...) I might try a low weight build and see how the Blue Dancer Charm works for me. It's tough avoiding the usual Talisman combos though.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I mean, there’s always the Goldmask set. That’s on par with Wretch levels of coverage. Quite high requirements to obtain that though, especially if you’re not Int/Fth build, and it’s easy to miss.

    Shōgun

    In the UK it is. All of the FX stuff is on D+ including Justified. Making me consider resubbing but it's a struggle.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Check out the Rotten Duelist set.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If you like pokey weapons then DRAGON KING'S CRAGBLADE is probably worth checking out. Most people think it's a fun weaponskill but I seemed to die a bunch trying to use it.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Black Knife can’t hold aggro for shit so you need to be fairly tanky if going that route.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Any blunt weapon stance breaks the Crystallian mobs. Dual wield a couple of crappy hammers and they’re embarrassingly easy.
  22. Grizzlebeard

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If you want a broken weapon on trash then the sword you can choose after the first clear is just insane with a Faith build. Next to useless on many bosses due to their high saves but you stand at the entrance in the Mohgwyn zone and just keep clearing and resetting you’ll cap your stats in short...

    I must have played for a month before I realised I could attack from either side of the mount.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think it's just those guys who play a wretch female in a loincloth and spend the game playing with one hand.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Took me years to actually finish the first book. Part of the problem was it refers to things that aren't set up in the story. No new reader is going to have a concept of the Landsraad, Faufreluches, or Kanly. I eventually did finish it but it didn't inspire me to read the next two novels at all.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    That the one that fans flames out in front of you? I thought they nerfed it's stance damage but it was still good last time I used it.

    Borderlands

    I'll watch this one night on my own with a pizza and not tell anyone I know about it. It's a straight to video with a presumably huge ass budget.

    Quantum Leap

    I might need to sub to Paramount+ to watch this but it's an itch I have to scratch.

    Did you snag the Red-Hot Whetblade early on from Redmane Castle?

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    There are so many good Batman villains, it's kind of sad they fall back on Bane.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    My take from it was he was a barely functioning sociopath who assembled a team of geniuses to do all the scientific heavy lifting and took all the credit for their work. I’m sure that’s not the case but it’s how the movie seemed to portray him.

    I needed to know that going in to my day. Image burned.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Was there a fast and easy way to kill those cat statues? You know the ones that spew fire or ice and jump in the air and smear you over the floor? I could kill them but they always cost me a bunch of flasks.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The map thing is potentially immersion breaking. I look at games like FFXIV where they have easily accessible maps and it trivialises the game where I’m moving between quest markers on the map. I don’t ever bother to learn a zone because once I’ve gained two levels I’m unlikely to ever go back...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Never had a problem with that one. The knight on the bridge leading to Malekith can be fucked for all eternity though. Not fun as melee at all.

    Deadpool & Wolverine

    Is it Shopped? I vaguely remember that scene. I'd check but unsubbed for months now. Yeah, 1.06 mark.
