    Tom Platz: 23 reps of 525lbs squats Trained with 50 reps of squats Future douchebags on the internet: "Yeah but he just used the steroids, you can actually just add muscle without working out if you're on the steroids."

    Everquest Legends

    I'm currently playing my first and probably last Gacha game (Arknights: Endfield) and something common in that industry I find interesting is they send out exhaustive ingame surveys to their playerbase and reward players with valuable currency for completing the survey. These surveys include...

    Everquest Legends

    It's more like going to a restaurant's lobby, standing in the middle, talking shit about the food there, and then being surprised when they ask you to leave. I don't go to Popeye's and complain about their service until they call the cops, just like I wouldn't go to EQL's discord to complain...

    Everquest Legends

    I've never joined their Discord and wouldn't join it, but I don't blame them for heavily moderating their Discord. Going to Discord to talk bullshit is like going to someone's house when they're hosting a neighborhood BBQ and loudly bitching to them about their choice of meat and how they cook...

    Are Deus Ex games worth playing?

    I first played Deus Ex around the time it came out and loved it. I tried replaying it a few years ago and couldn't get through it. The gameplay was too simplistic and too many games have built beyond it. Human Revolution was fun, but didn't have as much weight as the original. I'd probably...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Difficulty of missions and non-instanced content varies by expansion but generally the Claws of Veeshan expansion (which had a level 115 cap) is a bit more difficult than Torment of Velious (which raised it to 115). There are exceptions of course. The keybind and ability bloat is just part of...

    Guild Wars 2

    It's crazy to me that 14 years later I'm unaware of any MMO that's built beyond the dynamic event system in GW2. https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1058358-Guild-Wars-2-Mass-info-for-the-uninitiated-READ-ME! This article is from pre-release but the map rings true, where it describes how an...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Bro learned spiderman sticky fingers from Tom Holland. Much better string control.

    Guild Wars 2

    My favorite path for a casual-friendly game like GW2 is to let players no-life everything, but provide substantial but limited daily boosts that let someone earn it over longer periods of time with moderate total playtime. It's been a while but I remember the fractal reward system being a very...

    Wow, that is a really incredible set.

    The LEGO thread - or how to step on bricks in the dark

    So far this set is really nice. Might end up being my favorite of all time.
