    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Has anyone played Nightreign lately? Curious if it's a bit more beatable now. When I played it on launch week, I didn't even get past the Cerberus boss because every PUG I joined would get to the fight and then die due to not being high enough level. They give you so little time to prepare that...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Good luck, I tried to crowd source some DLC weapons for a new run a couple years ago and NOBODY HERE HELPED. Nobody except Mr Bungie, that is, but he is on PC and I wasn't. If you're on PC, could try asking him nicely, he might be down to help out.

    Dark Souls

    Have a question about a Dark Souls SL1 run (well, SL4 run since I already did a full SL1 Pyromancer, it was easy, and I want to actually do a base level run all the way through as a meleer at some point, irritating that it has to be SL4). Also, correction, my SL1 Pyromancer run actually took 18...

    Alien : Isolation - Announced

    If this tells the story of Hadley's Hope leading up to Aliens, then I'm fully in. Been waiting for someone to tell that story for a while. It looked like the people there got pretty far along in their resistance of the Xenomorphs, and weren't completely caught with their pants down.

    Nioh 3

    Finally got around to beating Nioh 2. Really good game, probably the best non-Fromsoft game of this type aside from Lies of P. I never felt like I really learned to play it correctly though, and it was a struggle. No plans to continue onto Nioh 3, though I gave it a good few hour try with the...

    Dating

    I don't recommend dating any woman who has parents that are Jewish, East Asian, or Indian. All three of those are very likely to give you a hard time and try to break you up if you aren't the same ethnicity as them. Then again, they're also the three highest income ethnic groups in the US...

    Dark Souls

    I agree I also agree Sekiro was the one I had the most trouble with, and also the one I played last. So...the rules of the rest of the series don't apply to Sekiro. Pretty much everyone says that the hardest Soulsborne is whichever one they played first. For a ton of people that's Elden...

    Third attempt at grilling was finally a major success, the chimney starter made a huge difference. Used a couple rolled up tumbleweed things from Home Depot and then added a bit of paper to keep that going. Poured the hot ashes in there and cooked over that, no problem. The gas taste on the...

    Dark Souls

    All the talk about "SL1" runs...I went back and took a look, and nearly all of the classes start with a few levels already. Pyromancer is the only one that starts at SL1. Cleric is close, at SL2. So ..do people just refer to base level runs as "SL1" for simplicity, or are all of these SL1 runs...

    Here's some grilling porn from yesterday's practice session on a friend's grill: Didn't know what I was doing yet, and put the food on too soon (while it was still a bonfire) rather than letting the charcoal settle into the 2nd and 3rd images. The food ended up with a subtle gas-like taste...

    This is one sexy grill. Wood pellets only I think. I bet it produces a lot of flavor. Here's the one I'll get in the near future when the budget allows. Anyone know if the "premium" version is worth getting? Same size as the normal version, 22".

    Crimson Desert

    Figured out how to rephrase my question and maybe not have anybody jump down my throat this time! What is the rough minimum runtime of this game, if I were to generally go briskly through it and not go out of my way too much to do all the extra stuff, just doing the fun stuff / things that are...

    Thanks, this answers pretty much everything. One more question: Regular fluid-needing charcoal or do I need dry match-lit charcoal for the chimney? Does it matter? Since I'm not using fluid in this equation. I'll get this set up during my vacation next week and report back with some results /...

    Crimson Desert

    139 hours, goddamn. I'll give it a try for a couple days but there are a lot of other things I need to get to on my vacation week and it sounds like it'd be better left for later when I have less going on. Going straight for the wrestling moves of course.

    That helps, thanks. I'm gonna grab that Weber, it's within the budget. "Something that won't fall apart" is enough for me. What's the benefit of a chimney starter? Edit: Also looking for suggestions on what to use to get the starter lit up. Rolled up newspaper is all well and good (hell maybe...

    Want to start doing some outdoor grilling now that I'm in a place with more room. Had a BBQ steak recently and it was amazing, better than the steaks I cook at home. I thought I was doing a good job with those, but now they're not good enough. The friend that cooked said BBQ is going to show me...

    AEW isn't the most popular around here, but some AEW news: Adding an 11th PPV, Redemption, in July. This'll function as setup for All In, sort of like No Way Out was for Wrestlemania. Up to 11 PPVs now I believe, only month that's missing one is January. The individual PPV buyrates aren't what...

    So I take it this game isn't something one just runs the MSQ in, and I should just kick back and enjoy the game. I mainly want to run around RKOing people.

    That's why I noted that they were Jewish. I know exactly why nothing I did was good enough. It was kind of nuts. We were together for 18 months and I later found out that her parents didn't even know we were together for like the first two thirds of that, she kept telling them we were friends. I...

    Turo, the airbnb of Car Rentals

    Was thinking of only renting it out one or two weekends a month when I'm not going anywhere anyway, and screening the renters (old people good, college students bad). That said, it's in such good condition, and I take good care of it (wash nearly every day, regular maintenance) that I have zero...

    Car ?'s

    I think the Tesla dashboard is rubber. It's an unusual rubbery material that grips things really well (you can put a drink or a phone on the center console, which is also this material, and it won't fall down or slide around).

    How long is the MSQ if I just beeline that? I really don't have time to dink about in this game any more than necessary.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Does that M30 work on Switch Online as well as PC? I have an 8bitdo SNES controller around here somewhere, if it works on Switch Online for SNES playing I'll see if I can find it, because that would be awesome.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Switch Online is a lot better than the last time I had it (a year or two ago). The Sega Genesis collection in particular is waaaaay better. Problem is, for Sega, you want to have the right controller. Old Nintendo games I can generally play with any modern controller, since they're all...

    Resident Evil Requiem

    Put down your dick and grab a controller, cause this game is great. It's about 50% survival horror ala traditional RE, and 50% Leon Kicking Asses ala RE2/4. It's a fusion of RE7 and RE4 that isn't as good as either but it's pretty good regardless. It's a game to play in the dark if you want to...

    What are you playing?

    Man, I've always wanted to get into the RDRs, because as a kid I was obsessed with "cowboys and indians" and pretty much anything pertaining to that era of time. The weapons, the outfits, the horses, all that. Always wanted a video game in that kind of setting where you could go around and do...

    Good way to get rid of glue on a dashboard? I've got a nasty circular glue patch on the dashboard from when I tried to hook a phone holder up to it recently (it didn't take, I gave up). Will have to just scrape it off, don't want to damage the dashboard though. It's like very stiff goo, and it...

    What's a good thing to watch to see why people love John Candy so much? I've seen Spaceballs obviously, and fairly recently I went back and watched Planes Trains and Automobiles. Even though that movie alone was enough to kinda love the guy, I imagine there are other works of his I should see...

    Together - 9/10 Probably the best horror movie I've watched in years, and had the same kind of viscerally scary body horror as The Substance. I'm confused as to why the missing couple turned out so poorly while the other fusions worked. Holy shit though, surprised this movie flew under the...

    Wait, the overpowered chick from the Steel Dragons or whatever they were called? She's insanely hot. In RL she's won like 13 world championships in martial arts in 13 years. Kenny Omega should have played either M. Bison or Akuma. Roman Reigns will probably be a solid Akuma, so give the Bison...

    Kenny Omega showing up in Impact really was the most significant moment on Impact in like the past decade, as is this promo. The best promos are the ones that are based in truth. I thought Chun Li and Cammy were gonna make out, which is probably what I was supposed to think. Then they wimped...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    I feel like they're going to do something shocking like that. Had a dream where Thanos returned (from a different timeline) and the movie opened with him attacking Earth. He kills off a bunch of the new characters that people didn't like (Ironheart, She Hulk, etc) to escalating crowd pops. Just...

    I don't know who Josh Gad is but I have the same visceral physical revulsion to seeing him that I had to seeing Jared Fogle back when he was just the Subway guy. $1000 says he turns out to be a horrible creep within the next 5-10 years

    This would have been awesome. Way better than "the new one" which is...lame and uncreative. Just have it be "Spaceballs 3: The Search For More Money" and have them never reference where the second one went until the movie drops and the movie itself references it. Then if it's a success they...

    Crimson Deserters, after much time and consideration, we here at Rajaah have decided not to pursue a playthrough of Crimson Desert with my time off.
