    Diablo Immortal

    I generally don't care about P2W mechanics, I just play something else. But if Blizzard gets away with this bullshit then it's going to fuck over almost every game coming out from now on. And the people playing this game right now will be to blame.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Don't care too much about what they do as long as they ENTERTAIN me. Being preached at by woke fuckwits is not entertaining. Hell, I don't even need much of a plot if the dialogue is snappy, the characters are fun and I can escape for a couple of hours.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Those came out just as I was taking another long break. So really haven't had a chance to mess with them.

    Lol, fuckin Brady. As a Raider, I really want to hate the guy, but that's just not happening.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I usually sub. Crafting bag, dlcs, etc, make it worthwhile to me. But the game is very playable without all of that stuff if you are just starting out.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Steam has taught me that all sales return again and again and again.

    Might be worth grouping them just for a change of pace. Stopped logging in cause I'm so bored with the daily chores.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Somehow ended up at the startrek.com site. It's telling that most of the page is dedicated to Strange New Worlds. Picard and the cartoon get some coverage, while Discovery is relegated to the very bottom of the page. You have to scroll way down to see it. Wish Kurtzman would get the aids or...

    Ultimate finally killed my Steam purchase addiction. Fucking sales.

    New World

    New World really isn't that bad of a game, it has a lot going for it. But it also has problems with endgame and basic rvr design. And this isn't 2004. You can't get away with mediocre or endgame problems in the modern game space, too many good options out there. I've been wanting to go back to...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Mark Davis and his dad have always been "progressive" with their hires. Which has never bothered me since they didn't do the hires to be "progressive" but because they were good at their jobs. Art Shell, Amy Trask, etc. So this action is consistent with their history. The tryout I assume is...

    The Time Traveler's Wife

    Haven't watched this. But they show that picture of her face every time I log in and for some reason it creeps me out.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Then he works out for 2 to 3 hours. Not like the rest of us. Tom has a ton of drive and he works very hard at making movies. Drive and hard work tend to pay off over time. I give him a pass for his personal life, scientology, etc. Because he doesn't talk about it, hasn't had any "public"...

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Never been a Steve Vai fan, but he does have technical chops. Saw this video a few weeks ago and at first thought it was some sort of spinal tap joke. But Steve somehow managed to make this work. Thought it was kind of cool actually. Very Steve Vai though.

    Guild Wars 2

    Started playing again couple of weeks ago. Mainly WvW. Revenants must have had a buff. See a lot more than the usual zero.

    Lost Ark Online

    The daily chores are a turn off. I like the chaos / guardian dungeons well enough, but not every day. So only do them on weekends, and maybe once during the week if I feel like logging on. It really hurts progression if you don't do them every day though. Confirmed altaholic so this game is...

    Arcane

    One of Netflix's best shows, anime or not. Netfilx doesn't have many good shows, this stands out.

    Westworld

    Love this show, one of my favorites. Well written, interesting concepts, great acting, the works. Not sure why others don't like it but it works for me. Imo, HBO just has better quality shows than the other streaming services. Just finished my Netflix run for the year and although they have...

    Lost Ark Online

    East coast servers are usually the most packed (with queues) in typical mmo launches. So going to a west coast server at launch is typically the best option for skipping that mess. And if you pvp the ping for local servers is always better. Seems like the bot issue is what really messed this...

    Ashes of Creation

    Games that reward griefers at the expense of carebares are destined to niche status or outright failure. Haven't followed this that much but if AoC has PvE servers or something where the carebares can quest and progress in peace then it has a chance at making boatloads of money. Has to be a good...

    Lost Ark Online

    Don't understand, why are west coast servers so afflicted (with queues) and the east coast are not? Usually east coast servers are more popular. I play east coast servers in mmos for the healthy pops, even though I live on the west coast.

    Fuckin game is a bit too addicting. Don't have a lot of time to play games and this one is taking all of it. Have 3 years of xbox game pass going to waste, etc.

    Ryan Leaf was a victim of his immaturity and the Chargers absolute ineptitude at providing him with the advice / protection young players like him need to survive. Leaf had some talent and moxy. I watched him against the Raiders back in the day and felt bad for him. Because the Chargers gave...

    Killing gold for casual players is not a winning strategy. I still believe that the fake MAU numbers hundreds of thousands of bots provide are why Amazon is soft balling this issue.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Have played this a few times over the years. Never got very far but I enjoyed it at first. But now it just doesn't grab. Even my brother, big Elder Scrolls fan, doesn't log in anymore and he put tons of time into this game. Not sure what happened but yeah, it was kind of boring the last time I...

    Lost Ark Online

    It just seems like Amazon is letting the bots stick around because it inflates their player numbers. I have a hard time believing they can't get rid of a majority of them after this long. Sure bots will always be an ongoing issue, but this is ridiculous.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Didn't want to derail. But it's a combination of gerrymandering by a supposedly "neutral board", and an open primary system where the top two vote getters go to the general. Which almost always results in 2 democrats being on the ballot. Plus ballot harvesting, all mail in, etc. All the common...

    Most regular Californians hate this as much as anyone else. We did vote AGAINST gay marriage if you recall, it was the CA Supremes that overturned our vote. But we do have a higher percentage of fruits, nuts and woke retards than most states. Along with the tech bubble blue hairs and a rigged...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Past time for a new rig for me too. But not looking forward tor to the massive power and cooling requirements of the current generation of options. Doesn't look like I have much choice though. I just really hate pc's that sound like jet engines.

    Lost Ark Online

    Don't play this game much during the week. The daily chaos dungeons / guardians got old pretty quickly. Not a fan of daily chores and after getting home from work, doing chores sucks. But I do play a lot during the weekend. I enjoy leveling up characters more than the dailies. Did powerpass one...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Really wish Blizzard was working on a new mmo. This shit is old and crusty. Blizzard isn't the same company that created WoW but they still have a ton of knowledge about basic systems that companies like Amazon haven't yet figured out. And if they could keep the amount of blue haired freak devs...

    Lost Ark Online

    Yeah, I'm not usually one to care about bots too much. Part of the genre and impossible to get rid of. And don't even care if friends are messing with them. As long as they are a minor game issue then just ignore them. But when the majority of toons on the screen in every area of a multiplayer...

    So many fucking bots in this game. I mean how many people are actually playing this game? Was leveling another toon over the weekend and in every zone I seemed to be the only actual player. This is even in the last zones just before hitting level 50. Endless Zerk / Sorc bots running the exact...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I really hope this is good. But these videos that have a couple pieces of crappy art and retards around a round table spouting nonsense are a huge fucking turn off.
