SubPress non-numbered reprinting of GoTM pushed back to September. Entire run was so screwed it had to be scrapped and they’re starting over. Fuck.

I quit just after the Reaper release. The Priest and Lancer were fun and great and they deserve credit for thinking out of the box with healing on the Mystic. Out of every MMO big release I’ve played (I skipped Vanguard) I found healing in Tera exciting and I loved carrying shitters on my...

I purchased a 3080 ti vision for 1600 + tax almost 40 days ago. Newegg has it listed right now “on sale” for 1300 + tax. One thing I learned with pc parts is a better price and new tech/upgraded parts are always around the corner but if you try to wait for the best possible price and time...

After buying the reprint preorder a couple months ago I fell into the speciality small press rabbit hole and my wallet has hated me ever since. I will say though that SubPress truly is incredibly with their quality so I trust they will get the issues sorted out. God help me if Suntup Press...

So finally got around to finishing up the expansion and playing around with many of the achievements. Expansion overall was fun, but probably a generous 7/10 for me, ranked between HoT and PoF (with PoF my overall favorite). As far as a super rushed expansion goes they did a decent job. The...

You can run Win10 mostly fine on Alder Lake and if you have any gaming issues disabling E Cores in the bios should fix it.

Newegg has had various 30xx cards in stock for a week straight now and stock drop discords have been pinging a lot more frequently as of late, although it would seem most of those were scalpers trying to unload on Amazon at somewhat close to MSRP. Guess with 40xx around the corner people are...

Haven’t had much chance to explore the new expansion, but Cantha is beautiful. Leviathan fight in the first zone in the bay is creative and fun, but needs a decent amount of people.

” Welcome to the NewEgg Shuffle, where we draw a lottery just for the chance to purchase a current gen GPU…That we’re going to combo with a worthless piece of two gen outdated equipment that you have to purchase with it “.

Will have to wait for release but the latest EoD broken spec was Engi with their laughably broken mech pet. I imagine that will change by release since one of the reasons it was OP was because the pet was practically unkillable/invulnerable and had insane boon uptime.

Intel boards historically are good for 2 generations so unless something changes Raptor Lake should use the same socket as Alder Lake. It’s all still back channel rumored, but Raptor Lake is expected to be 10-15% improvement over Alder Lake with double the cache and double the ecores. If I...

Ugh I’ve been holding strong on waiting to upgrade for Raptor Lake in Q3 but the price on the 12700k is so tempting. Wish I knew what the state of DDR5 would be in Q3. I like to do one big upgrade and sit on my parts for years as opposed to upgrading things every other.

3050 preorder opens tomorrow. Reviews up today. GamersNexus MSRP list: My 970 is dying so I’ll probably try to grab a 3050 at msrp if lucky to tide me over until I can grab a 3080ti vision to complete my white build. At this point I might even try to surf my cards death cry until 40xx...

The only thing I have to add is that specialty publishers like SP and Centipede Press tend to turn the ”wow factor” up to 11, especially if you’re a fan of one of their chosen series or authors. The Dune Centipede Press edition for instance is absolutely stunning.

As of now there‘s no holding of rights so it’s a FFA every time a new book comes out but that could change. SP allegedly has purchased an unknown amount of copies to hold in reserve which they intend to sell periodically so some people who missed out during the rush will have a second chance...

Preorders opening up earlier than expected. Noon Est, Monday January 31st. No idea how many books they will be selling but SP copies tend to sell out very fast and Malazan is experiencing a surge in popularity lately and the demand for Malazan hardcovers is through the roof. Edit: 1,000...

Projected Q1 2022 $200 USD per book. Edit: apparently I don’t know what year it is anymore. Getting old :(

Grats @Intrinsic on that complete Subterranean Press collection (which is fucking awesome btw and sells for 10K on Ebay). Your collection got me googling around and I discovered that Erikson has contracted the Subterranean Press to do another similar run. The copies wont be lettered, they wont...

Sanderson is on Reddit right now talking about the series and the advice he gave. Lots of interesting things being said. GoT was 90%+ or so accurate and faithful to the books, with the exception of some later side stories and potentially major plots (Most of Dorne, the fake Targ brother, the...

Went in expecting a 1 or 2 out of 10 in terms of quality thanks to the trailer and reading this thread so I was pleasantly surprised when it came out at about a 5/10 for me across the first 3 episodes. Acting/Directing and casting has largely been total ass so far. Rand is channeling his inner...

Amazon Prime Twitch rewards currently has a code for the retail core game of Guild Wars 2.

The ”movie” felt like a visualization of a fan wikipedia page describing some of the backstory of the sopranos. Watched it outside with my family last night during a fall dinner and at the very end the consensus from everyone was “that’s it?”. Then the credits played and a short scene started...

Won’t get the chance to play with Catalyst till sometime tonight but both Reddit and the official forums are practically unanimously trashing the first play impressions so far. Hammer is way too slow and clunky, CD’s are way too high, AND damage across the board for both Condi and Power are way...

Going to have to get in game and play with it. Gameplay looks fun. Survival from Melee Hammer seems to be by keeping stacks of Elemental Empowerment up (3% 1% stat increase per stack, max 10 stacks) and by keeping Auras up on your person with the Catalyst trait that decreases damage taken per...

They have no idea what an Elementalist is, how it plays, and they are willfully ignorant over the communities concerns regarding the class. No one at ANet seriously plays the class and all of their “balancing“ around the class in the past has been around retarded unrealistic crap such as...

I find everyone's lack of tramp stamps and tattoos disturbing: This game for all its faults is still an incredibly fantastic game. It's easily one of the best MMOs I've ever played and it's by far the best casual friendly mmo that has ever existed imo. It's just frustrating knowing that two...

Hammer Ele doesn’t inspire me with much confidence, lol. I have high hopes too. I’ll settle for balanced classes though. Necro and Guardian have been ridiculous for far too long and all the other classes are suffering for it.

For the most part they're quick and provide some of the best gold to time invested in the game. They're also the best/fastest/most efficient way to get Mystic Clovers if you're consistently running T4's to buy the 2 clovers a day. Personally I enjoy(ed) farming the Infinite fractal potions and...

Let me know how you feel after you do some T3 - T4 fractals, Raids, or Strikes as an Ele.

The Vanilla game/maps were designed more as a living, breathing world where the intention was to take things slow, explore, and enjoy everything as if you’re part of the world as opposed to trying to blitz through maps with the intention of leveling to get to the “end game” maps. For example...

Simultaneously disappointed and relieved Legendary 3.0 Weps are all the same boring theme. Disappointed in that its 28ish less options to choose from and relieved in that now I know I won’t bother with them. My first impression with 2 person mounts and fishing boats is that they are both...

Expansion delayed 2-3 months from Late 2021 to Early 2022, but: Colin Johanson is returning to co-lead ANet/Gw2 WvW Alliances/Restructuring coming this year (More released on this in Aug) - “New leadership team views WvW as a cornerstone of the game going forward” DX11 Upgrade/Beta hopefully...

Agree with it being 6/10. Solid scifi action flick for late night viewing.

I know most people have checked out of GW2, but they dropped a ton of information today and their path forward / transition into EoD expansion. Path Forward 2021 Patch Notes The three biggest things imo are: May 25th - Every Living World Episode is going to be released chronologically for...

April 27th final chapter in IBS and possibly the last "major" content drop until expansion release, although it's rumored there might be one more to transition into End of Dragons. https://www.guildwars2.com/en-gb/the-game/releases/april-27-2021/ The DRM's have been incredibly disappointing...

It appears you like to RP and you like it enough that you take it somewhat seriously. If that's the case, why not try for a WL server like NoPixel or FamilyRP? Any public server is going to be a shit show and from what I've been told and heard from numerous streamers most of the WL servers are...

"Tay Tay Tyrone", a cracked out homeless black guy whose also a former or wannabe priest. Same character as he was during the 2.0 boom, only then Koil temporarily lowered his priority and gave him a "final warning" for shitlording, which is all that he has ever done. Pretty sure he was banned...

Greek kicked from the NoPixel server today (He hasn't been banned or had his prio lowered in 3.0...yet) for obvious sexist/sexual harassment comments and trying to force inappropriate sexual RP situations with people who clearly want nothing to do with it or him. Then, after being kicked, he...

Free Black Lion Claim Ticket right now in the gem store until the 26th. You can use it to claim a Shimmering Weapon skin and then sell it on the TP for 60g if you wanted although the price is kinda falling fast with everyone doing just that right now. The skins also look kinda nice.

It's been several years since I've really ground out Wintersday but iirc the real reward is grinding out gifts and selling them on the TP. I think 3-5 hours a day every day at the JP getting near max runs in yielded me something like 1.5k by events end, but it's a maddening grind. No idea how...
