I welcome anybody to give me a better Epic 1.0 list with rationales. Might be interesting. And I definitely rated Enchanter too high. It might even grab the worst award away from the Duck Stick. At least it looks pretty cool.

Shaman epic does have some good rewards on the way, like SoW boots (essentially JBoots but better, Shaman only unfortunately). Rogue epic is a lot of "bang for your buck" for how easy it is. Can knock out a bunch of rogue epics in a row and double DPS for all of them. If I ever do another TLP...

Only the top four 1.0s on that list are particularly crucial for winning fights, most of the rest can be taken or left. Maybe Mage too depending on the meta. I think I overrated Enchanter. Would do an Epic 2.0 ranking as well, but I'm only firsthand familiar with like half of them, as opposed...

Live EQ is legitimately meh. To get things back to basics here and hopefully facilitate some discussion / shitting upon: RAJAAH'S UNOFFICIAL EPIC 1.0 RANKINGS Bear in mind that all of this is going off of 25 years of sometimes-distant memory and I probably got a few things wrong. Honorable...

Wrath of Khan is still the best Star Trek episode/movie ever, and the Enterprise/Reliant battles (this video, and their extended duel through the nebula) are the best space battles ever put to film. Every shot matters, and you can tell this was made by people who survived World War 2. Pacific...

Hearing this a lot the last couple days. I think remaking the original Star Trek series with a new actor playing Kirk, etc, is a TERRIBLE idea. Like, please don't. Strange New Worlds is basically the same concept, only with new characters, and they should just keep doing that rather than...

They really need to use that engine to remake Oracle of Ages/Seasons next, and Link Between Worlds. Or just make a remaster of LBW. Lot of 3DS things could use a straight up-res onto Switch just to make them more playable. If LTTP got remade, I'm not sure if I'd rather see it in the LA Remake...

EQ has definitely contributed to the declining birthrate. Think of all the people you could meet and musical instruments / languages you could master in the time you've spent in EQ. It single-handedly guaranteed that Rajaah had zero kids up to now. Which, depending on who you ask, may or may...

"Debunking the FAKE NEWS that the desert is silent", there's a jukebox if you pay extra! Yes, the problem was the silence of the desert, that's totally what people were complaining about. Jesus Christ, the internet is fucking stupid. How do I get more tunes for the jukebox? Only have 3 tunes...

Trying out Divinity 2 for the first time ever. What's up with these difficulty levels? "Story" is last but I have a feeling it isn't the hardest one. Classic could be medium or it could be like, classic hard difficulty. This game has a free PS5 upgrade now, and it looks super good.

Section 31 was an interesting idea back in the days of TNG, DS9, and even the Into Darkness movie. A division of Starfleet that wear dark outfits and act like assholes while doing morally questionable things that the main Starfleet wouldn't sully their hands with. However, after Picard and...

This is the EQ thread, not the Nirgon thread or whatever dumb shit this is that's going on here.

Yeah, dudes on FOH are super-studs who routinely refer to 8's as 2's, and so forth. For clarity, my issues with this movie aren't about the "woman is super stronk" thing above, that was just a tangent. Kara-El is super stronk, yes. My only issue with it is glamorizing being a drunken mess...

Was I the only one who found the fire tribe queen particularly... alluring? If I were the Colonel I would have also dumped the human side and paraded around in Fire Tribe paint.

The Abyss is criminally underrated. The scene where Ed Harris tries to save his ex-wife's life was incredibly powerful. Weird how nearly all of James Cameron's movies start with either T or A.

Interesting, what I've always heard is that China and Japan are doing all the whaling this century. I assume Norway and Australia ceased that practice a while ago. Hopefully everybody did.

I assume these efforts to draw a false equivalence are so that people are okay with it when men participate in women's activities like Olympic Boxing, because "women can beat men just fine!" or whatever. Nevermind that it completely goes against every logical thing we already know. Like...

If they're going to do an achievement pass (which is much-needed IMO) I'd like to see them fill in the huge space between the early expansions and the later ones. They populated achievements through PoP for one of the TLPs (Agnarr, I think) and SoD+ have achievements because that's when they...

Yeh, guilty as charged, I care about The Humpback Whales. They're extremely intelligent mammals, and deserve better than having a bunch of Chinese whaler assholes drive up to them and murder them for their blubber. Thankfully that practice has pretty much ended in the West (probably in large...

You wasted a post asking this question?

Having more time to meditate on this movie, I think I like it the most of the 3 Avatar movies. The first was cutting-edge for its time and all that, but didn't have much of a story beyond Feelings. I watched it several times to see it with different people, but not because it was all that good...

Am I the only one who thinks that this discussion has actually been incredibly tame?

It's a long gradual process. Hard to say when it really flips to Live levels of busy. As of level 115 on Phinny, my 6-7 hotkey bars had basically become their own meta-keyboard in the game. I don't like it either. It takes a while to get that bad though. I'll venture a guess, off old memory...

Way, way after PoP (the PoP that you erroneously think the game turns to dogshit after)

This post over here is quietly the most productive "new ideas" post I've seen anywhere lately. A scavenger hunt type achievement-based server would breathe new life into even a classic start TLP. Give it sensible unlock timers and free trade and we'd have something legitimately worth playing...

The white knighting on the official EQ forums is both idiotic and exhausting, and hurts any legitimate attempts at trying to improve the game. For example, I posted some ways to make the Innate Eminence AA actually do something useful for the cost without it impacting the early expansions too...

Having watched the Ionblaze video, I gotta say, the Pinochet detour was super retarded whether one agrees with it or not. The video was over an hour and it only needed to be about 15 minutes to make his point. Taking large chunks of time to get into debating specific points people made months...

Personally I'm hoping for the return of TL/AoS/Amtrak. They're a few servers overdue for another dominating performance, if they can reassemble the band. TL vs Relentless would be interesting, if common enemy Faceless isn't around to push them together. A few people with overlap history would...

Huh, you're right. I encountered (and dated) this body type a lot when I taught martial arts for a few years, small boobs and fantastic everything else is pretty normal with young women who grew up doing martial arts.

This video is facts (well, except that the 25 year old is way too reasonable, we could probably bump that up to 30) One of the actors in this movie is a friend of mine, and told me that Lena Dunham is an awful person and miserable to be around. Spent a lot of time yelling at people on set and...

Not sure how, but I was able to get it to start after plugging it directly into the wall all night and then pressing the power button in various ways until it worked. It's got a low charge but it's on. I'll do a cloud backup save while I've got it on. It seems to be able to charge and function...

Too bad Jonathan Majors tanked his own career because he would have been an absolute shoe-in to play adult Floyd.

So is Avatar 5 the last one? A2 was Water, A3 was Fire. I assume they're going to finish the elements. Do we think the first movie counted as Earth, Air, or none? It seemed like Earth to me. Guessing 4 will be Air and then 5 will be all four, OR 4 will be Air and 5 will be Earth. Maybe quite...

JL2 probably would have had Desaad (Darkseid's other Lt) manipulating the Evil Superman and having to be stopped. Brainiac was another big potential JL villain, and could have been the JL2 villain instead. However I think the rumor I heard at the time was that Brainiac was planned for Man of...

Watched The Housemaid - Good movie with Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. In theaters this weekend. It's a suspenseful movie that gave me Fatal Attraction vibes. Also, Sydney Sweeney gets naked (and practically naked) a few times. Somewhere around the shower scene I realized she might have the...

Looks like another take on the movie "Fall" (two hot wimmin get trapped up on a defunct radio tower with no way down, and spend the movie trying to figure out how to get help). That was good in concept and execution, maybe this will be too. Right, but it was specifically a takedown of...

Well this is a shock, my launch Switch 2 totally died. Kaput, nada, nothing. It's been docked for a few days and worked fine the last time I played it, but it seemed to be charging unusually slow after the last few times I took it out. I can only conclude that it stopped charging altogether and...

It's a shame how many people have left Faceless (either publicly or quietly) over politics after being dogpiled by the Commie Crew seen above. I'll say this, most of the conservative people in the guild (and there are a lot) keep it to themselves and don't even bother talking about it in...
