    Everquest II

    I wonder if I could get my characters back from 2004-2005/6? Edit: Yep, all still there, with names changed/letters added through what I assume are due to server consolidation, although I am pretty sure no other people chose those names. Logged in as my 50 Berzerker and immediately...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    Supergiant has always been San Fran as fuck, and even when they were/are making great games that bled through a bit. It was always overlookable but always present. I could never get very far into Hades, It just never clicked for me. I guess I just suck at roguelikes, because while the game was...

    SWTOR

    I need to go back and finish some of those class quests. It's a great game. Fuck what Bioware has become, though, thankfully they gave it to someone who won't woke it death, IIRC.

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    How it started: How its going: Edit: Reportedly Ashley is at EA Motive at present, so that Dead Space remake is another one to not pre-order. "...She is currently a Senior Writer at EA Motive....She is an advocate for representation in games and believes games are for everyone." Unless...

    Stellar Blade (April 26th, PS5)

    "All the normal skin is fine, just not the pink stuff; That's what makes the debil come out. And by Debil I mean my penis", said the Censors. Heteronormative sex doesn't help Smash Capitalism, Comrade. All things must burn for Utopia to rise. Non-gay girls butts are also verboten. I guess...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    Nick Fury is played by Samuel L. Jackson in the Avengers not because of DEI but because the Avengers in the MCU is primarily based on the Ultimates comics run, which differs from the 616 main universe in a number of ways; Nick Fury in the Ultimates is based on, get this, Samuel L. Jackson...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    Everything post-Endgame has completely, utterly flopped. Yes, the DEI MCU is bad business. Edit: the three movies in 2022 are far off the MCU expectations and nothing after even made money. "Far from Home" isn't DEI MCU standard any longer: THREE straight white male leads? Unheard of and...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    Sure, I know its commerce as well as art. You know what else is bad business? Bad movies. Rubbing the Panderstone and thinking about "Well, POC constitutes x% of the audience, therefore X characters need to appeal to POC demographics" is a recipe for shit movies. You can slightly tailor your...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    Holy shit your stint here is going to be short. Do you think no one here has ever heard of risk management or demographics or statistics? Do you think that any of those things make a movie good? Make a movie watchable? Make anyone feel anything? Make anything ART? Does making a Transformer...

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

    This is why everything sucks today: Because even when you get past Marxist Ideologues and DEI Activists (Same thing) trying to enforce The Message™ quotas in everything, you have accountants and consultant asshats preaching GOD MONEY (hat tip NIN) AUDIENCE like this. Wonder why we had so many...

    Akira Toriyama - Dragon Ball creator dies.

    I had no idea how much this would affect me. I was never big into Dragonball in any of its forms but I have always been aware it, and it feels like its always been around. It was one of the first regularly aired anime and constant meme fodder for 40+ years. All of these creators dying, and...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Reading this thread: All the bugs and crashes, gameplay/framerate "quirks" One character, one save slot. Weird MTX; Monster Hunter vibes, the gameplay described above I love to be in on the next big thing but glad I let this one breathe. Will enjoy this one theoretically and vicariously...

    Holy fuck the nasty stuff people used to eat. I guess you did what you had to before refrigeration but for me: I didn't know Cosmo was a T1D; I am always happy and sad to hear there's more of us. He is super down on the subject, though: The things they have now, that's not the case. As...

    Trying To Remember a Dungeon Crawl Game From The Early Years

    Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)

    Synder *films* and story-boards good movies. He has excellent cinematic tastes. He can't come up with a story/narrative TO. SAVE. HIS. LIFE. He needs to be making movies written by someone else, director for hire style, with strong producers etc. He's like a visual George Lucas; George was...

    The Crow

    It used to be that remakes were the non-risky way of Hollywood movie making because there was at least a built in audience. Holy shit look at all these terrible half-ass remakes. The Crow? Road House? It's about sending a message all right, the message is: "We can't make good movies any...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'm fucking offended by the game: The Multiverse story sucks, it ruins the whole game universe; I really need to put more time into a reply, I haven't spent a moment on the game since I flamed out a while ago but yeah, I guess you're not wrong. "Like Skyrim in Space but with worse quests...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I never did either, and I still find it shocking the whole story about "Frank Herbert wrote Messiah because people didn't get the message about Paul". I never pick that up at all, and by the end I thought it was part of what was necessary for either Humanity's next for for the Golden Path...

    Sometimes no matter how big the company, the software and hardware, each and every component , up/down and front to back, has to be able/architected to be able to scale to the demand, otherwise all the money in the world won't make it work.

    People, even the grogards here, don't appreciate how complicated this can be, and how hard it can be to overcome what is effectively a friendly DDOS attack in the form of customers wanting to login can be up and down the app/DB/authentication/infrastructure pipeline.

    Infant mortantily? FEMALE mortality used to be high; giving birth used to be dangerous for women. It literally was the initiating event that started the civil war that ended the Roman Republic.

    I was doing a Warpath/Rive Void Knight and Minion Necro as well. I loved my Forge Guard when I was dropping Anvils on everything but it looks like that skill is gone; makes me sad, that was awesome. Will probably do a Javelin/Hammerlin Paladin and a Warlock since they moved Drain Soul over to...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I have been on a tour of older ARPGs, I did Warhammer 40K: Inquistion Prophecy Martyr or whatever, and that was a good time. I dropped 110-120 hours into leveling a few characters through the main story/campaign, and it was fun. I also got Victor Vran and Van Helsing but they have been just...

    Holy fuck, What have they done to comics since I read them regularly before All New Different. I was reading everything when the Ultimates were big, and then I read about this DC 60's level shit. Fake edit: This is 2001? Although not surprised this is a Grant Morrison creation. Comics are...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    I saw Ut was playing this on Discord and was mildly tempted. For 18 bucks? Positive Meh. Probably the attitude I should have taken for Starfield. I have a fan dying on my 7900XTX so will have to RMA soon but might jump in if this doesn't suck or if I don't start a Cyberpunk run or something.
