Analysis: True. The loot change, the new Helltides, and the 1-100 leveling compression is so good I am just starting to bump up against some of the stuff I didn't like so much (Paragon boards, still some rough edges in the UI, have to pick up items to compare, etc.) I haven't had a chance to...

Loot and leveling are 100% better. There has been serious effort that's gone into making the game way more player friendly. All of the bullshit affixes are gone, You can level all the way to 100 in just helltides, mob density is so much better. At least Kyovashad is better laid out, leveling...

I was going to do a Necro this time, I played one in the beta but have done Rogue and Barb since. Seems they nerfed the heck out of the Barb but I did love my HotA Barb in the first season before I dropped this. Let's see how it goes.

I haven't watched it; waiting on the 4k that just shipped but I don't think I am going to have the unadulterated praise that so many seem to have if they make it such that Paul is "in on the missionaria protectiva con" and using the Fremen rather truly being immersed in their culture and...

eh, I have the same kind of multi-gig/2.5Gb Fiber connection with AT&T, who have the same $50 uncapped charge unless you use another of their services (TV/Cell/etc) I paid more for an ISDN link in 97 and those dollars were worth way more. What was that? 2 Bearer/B Channels and 1 D Channel that...

I didn't play much Pyre, either; it was the first time the game itself wasn't much fun comparatively. I thought the narrative and music were well done but the moment to moment gameplay just didn't land for me. I played a lot of Hades but I just don't/haven't ever figured out the healing/not...

Supergiant didn't "get" woke, though, they have always been Left-Coast California San Francisco forever. "That tiger didn't go crazy" as the comedian said, "that tiger went tiger." If making one character dark skinned is the extent of the politics in this game, I would say fuck it and just...

They aren't going away from Night City, they are just moving on to the sequel, Cyberpunk 2077 Orion. I suspect that many of the plans originally intended for CP2077 will be implemented in that, minus the awkward need to support PS4. Although by then, Launch PS5 will be "last gen"/long in the...

I restarted this on PC after playing the original at launch on PS5 all the way through to the end and stopping. I had originally bought it on every platform but ended up playing it on PS5. My PS5 save was right before waiting with Johnny for the 5 or 10 min of silence to go alone into Arasaka...

I wonder if I could get my characters back from 2004-2005/6? Edit: Yep, all still there, with names changed/letters added through what I assume are due to server consolidation, although I am pretty sure no other people chose those names. Logged in as my 50 Berzerker and immediately...

Supergiant has always been San Fran as fuck, and even when they were/are making great games that bled through a bit. It was always overlookable but always present. I could never get very far into Hades, It just never clicked for me. I guess I just suck at roguelikes, because while the game was...

I need to go back and finish some of those class quests. It's a great game. Fuck what Bioware has become, though, thankfully they gave it to someone who won't woke it death, IIRC.

To the meme Template! No the other Meme Template

How it started: How its going: Edit: Reportedly Ashley is at EA Motive at present, so that Dead Space remake is another one to not pre-order. "...She is currently a Senior Writer at EA Motive....She is an advocate for representation in games and believes games are for everyone." Unless...

Post Consolidation, or why I decided that spam was Great, I mean wicked, bad, naughty, evil Zoot!

"All the normal skin is fine, just not the pink stuff; That's what makes the debil come out. And by Debil I mean my penis", said the Censors. Heteronormative sex doesn't help Smash Capitalism, Comrade. All things must burn for Utopia to rise. Non-gay girls butts are also verboten. I guess...

W T F I have defended you for a long time but this is an Overton Window too far. I did nazi this coming.

Gentlemen and Mist, I give you Starfield. More thoughts later.

Nick Fury is played by Samuel L. Jackson in the Avengers not because of DEI but because the Avengers in the MCU is primarily based on the Ultimates comics run, which differs from the 616 main universe in a number of ways; Nick Fury in the Ultimates is based on, get this, Samuel L. Jackson...

Everything post-Endgame has completely, utterly flopped. Yes, the DEI MCU is bad business. Edit: the three movies in 2022 are far off the MCU expectations and nothing after even made money. "Far from Home" isn't DEI MCU standard any longer: THREE straight white male leads? Unheard of and...

Sure, I know its commerce as well as art. You know what else is bad business? Bad movies. Rubbing the Panderstone and thinking about "Well, POC constitutes x% of the audience, therefore X characters need to appeal to POC demographics" is a recipe for shit movies. You can slightly tailor your...

Holy shit your stint here is going to be short. Do you think no one here has ever heard of risk management or demographics or statistics? Do you think that any of those things make a movie good? Make a movie watchable? Make anyone feel anything? Make anything ART? Does making a Transformer...

This is why everything sucks today: Because even when you get past Marxist Ideologues and DEI Activists (Same thing) trying to enforce The Message™ quotas in everything, you have accountants and consultant asshats preaching GOD MONEY (hat tip NIN) AUDIENCE like this. Wonder why we had so many...

I had no idea how much this would affect me. I was never big into Dragonball in any of its forms but I have always been aware it, and it feels like its always been around. It was one of the first regularly aired anime and constant meme fodder for 40+ years. All of these creators dying, and...

Reading this thread: All the bugs and crashes, gameplay/framerate "quirks" One character, one save slot. Weird MTX; Monster Hunter vibes, the gameplay described above I love to be in on the next big thing but glad I let this one breathe. Will enjoy this one theoretically and vicariously...

Holy fuck the nasty stuff people used to eat. I guess you did what you had to before refrigeration but for me: I didn't know Cosmo was a T1D; I am always happy and sad to hear there's more of us. He is super down on the subject, though: The things they have now, that's not the case. As...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. We played some super fun games that were barely games by today's standards and they were great.

Synder *films* and story-boards good movies. He has excellent cinematic tastes. He can't come up with a story/narrative TO. SAVE. HIS. LIFE. He needs to be making movies written by someone else, director for hire style, with strong producers etc. He's like a visual George Lucas; George was...

"Battle Beyond the Stars" meets "Anastasia" meets "xxx"; It's recursive derivative nature all the way down.

It used to be that remakes were the non-risky way of Hollywood movie making because there was at least a built in audience. Holy shit look at all these terrible half-ass remakes. The Crow? Road House? It's about sending a message all right, the message is: "We can't make good movies any...

I'm fucking offended by the game: The Multiverse story sucks, it ruins the whole game universe; I really need to put more time into a reply, I haven't spent a moment on the game since I flamed out a while ago but yeah, I guess you're not wrong. "Like Skyrim in Space but with worse quests...

The power of his creations is over 9000. RIP.

You can get Hulu without ads. Mine doesn't have any.

All kinds of patch notes in their Discord; Seems like they may have found whatever it was causing their bottleneck when "Zoning". Everyone is going to get a Bee pet now regardless of the stupid referral code BS. Will post of the messages here if no one else has, super informative, even if I...

I never did either, and I still find it shocking the whole story about "Frank Herbert wrote Messiah because people didn't get the message about Paul". I never pick that up at all, and by the end I thought it was part of what was necessary for either Humanity's next for for the Golden Path...

Film Threat had a great review and about the changes Dennis made to the books for the Pt 2. Apparently They loved the movie overall book nit picks aside 8.5/9s out of 10.

Much like our world, Different Gods.

Sometimes no matter how big the company, the software and hardware, each and every component , up/down and front to back, has to be able/architected to be able to scale to the demand, otherwise all the money in the world won't make it work. I was at HP when the Powers that Be decided that they...
