Its delusional to think the vendors in a few campaign areas will be equal to what hundreds of thousands of players will be offering at their own merchants. The difference is overwhelmingly, hilariously, amazingly worth doing, from someone who was new to POE in POE2 launch. Not only do the...

NGL, I would rather spend an Exalt or two on the market for an item that has everything that I want than randomly try to craft something with a single affix that may or may be worth a damn. In .1 I would spend 5 or 6 Ex "crafting" and end up with nothing, meanwhile when I started trading you...

The guys I am playing with all made it to Maps in less than a day but I am super slow boating because A) work/life B) Maps are super boring as shit to me and once the campaign ends, I still enjoy playing but my interest dies off. I found this time, and I don't know if its because I have been...

This is the worst feeling. <Brofist>

That's not what Capitalism is at all. That's what Communists want you to think Capitalism is so that you will give up your rights and willingly agree to allow the State to own everything. Capitalism is the belief that everyone, working in their *own* best interests, will benefit everyone.

I am not saying he didn't, nor I am I saying Dune was intended as a standalone, etc. You can go back and read how shocked/disappointed he was people didn't get how people didn't see the "warning signs" with Paul in the first book, and it changed/prompted how he wrote Dune Messiah. From...

Part of what kills the Dune mythos for me is that in Herbert's eyes, Paul was almost exactly a JFK analogue. His glorious rise to power in the first book is supposed to be unvarnished and complete Campbell's Hero's Journey, except with the dash that charisma and messiahs turns friends into...

That is the first thing I thought of as well. We just got finished watching Totoro again Sat. night. My kids love it.

Star Wars came out when I was six; I got to see all of these as they were released. ROTJ was a great half of a movie, with Luke/Vader/the Emperor. The other half, with the Ewoks, was Lucas trying to sell toys. Originally IIRC correctly it was going to be Wookies but now I can't recall if that...

Your statement about DC movies and tards reminds me about a quote I heard in a documentary about indy/"shlock" films in the section about Russ Meyer, who made such fare as "Faster Pussycat!! Kill Kill!!" and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", who was famous for his use of busty actresses. One...

I had premature post-itis, its there now. I curbed my worst TLDR instincts though. Edit: NOW it should be there for those posts. I will post my reaction to other posts later, your long post in particular.

Note: I posted this waaay before I was done, so multiple edits have been ongoing, my apologies for the changing in-development nature of the writing. Folks are making a lot of great points now in this thread and I want to comment on a bunch of them: I think people who like The Batman tend to...

When the useless CGI dog literally pissed on Superman, I was out. She is super hot but Gunn's Superman movie sucked where Superman was the least interesting character in it by design. He's the absolutely wrong person with the wrong take on ALL DC heroes, much less the Big Blue Boy Scout symbol...
