    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Is one of his boss mechanics where you have to sit still and do nothing while he reads you his bad poetry for 5 minutes?

    Everquest II

    Oh, one thing I do remember from release EQ2 that I wonder how ever got past the "that's fucking stupid" design phase was forcing you to stay online and in your home if you wanted to list something you had for sale on the AH. Meant I went to bed with the game running quite a few times until I...

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

    What killed the first game for me was that everyone both spoke and looked like they came from some shitty English village instead of Central Europe. Don't know why they went with those voice actors over someone who had more of a Central European accent. I always felt as if the main character was...

    Fallout - New Vegas

    The main drawback to FO1 and 2 are simply that their UI is quite dated by modern standards. And I don't just mean the resolution, that can be fixed with many widescreen/hi res mods. It is quite clunky. These are two of the very many 90s and early 2000s games that could do with an "enhanced...

    Fallout - New Vegas

    Play NV first. If you like it, play 3. If you like them both, install the Tale of Two Wastelands mod and play them both at the same time. :)

    And even though it's a hassle, I'd still play with mods, if only the unofficial patches.

    FOH Shower Thoughts

    Someone fucks up in a US war/spy film: "I want him manning a radar/spy/whatever station in the middle of Alaska by tomorrow!" Me: Hmm... peace and quiet, lots of nature, can go hunting in free time, nobody around... why is this a punishment?

    Everquest II

    I tried it out again about 5 years ago and quickly realised that just by lvl 20 I was starting to stack things high. WoW understood this with their periodical purges of abilities. 10 buttons to push in combat - including situational ones - is probably more than enough to keep things good, and if...

    Everquest II

    I played EQ2 with some friends from launch for a few months until they moved to WoW. Some of it was quite brutal. But I'll always have a fond memory of the varied nature of the quests, where they came form and such, as well as the collections. I still haven't found a game that scratches that...

    EVE Online

    You don't need to wait for AI bots if you have lots of RL money. Back in the day (2005-2010 or so) there were a few rich people who played Eve (mostly Russians and Chinese) who actually paid other Russians and Chinese to play in their corps and do whatever they told them to do. Some shenanigans...

    The Astronomy Thread

    The pictures make it look like the thing was riveted together by a drunk - but talented - farmboy in his barn, rather than some of the most cutting edge piece of technology mankind has ever created. Reminds me a bit of the Soviet space station in Armageddon. That said, if I did get an...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I do think that there is something to AAA game dev companies becoming too large. Most of the games I play these days come from small indy studios. Sure, the graphics are not as good (though that is becoming debatable), but the games are usually pretty good.

    Tyranny

    I wonder if this will at some point get the same treatment as KotOR2 got with a dedicated fan team modding in what was missing. I do enjoy both PoE games, and need to play this at some point. I really wish this series - and the engine itself - had had more success.

    Borderlands

    There's this skinny Russian porn star called Gina Gerson or something similar and when you first started talking about this woman playing Moxxi I thought "great fit hiring a porn star to do it, but why such a flat chested one?" Now I realise it's not her and I'm just confused.

    Borderlands

    Come to think of it, why is this even a live action movie? This should have been an animated film done in the same style as the games. Then you could have had Cate Blanchet and whoever speak the roles and no-one would care if they're 50, as long as they sound the part.

    Borderlands

    This either passed me by completely, or I saw it mentioned a while back and forgot about it. Either way, I saw the advert for this yesterday. My first reaction was "ooh a Borderlands movie, interesting". Then I saw Cate Blanchett as Lilith and first I wondered who the hell had asked her to play...

    If we're going to be delving into the whole "The Big Bang Theory is Wrong" rabbit hole then there is a shit ton of stuff to talk about here. Personally, I have long doubted the theory - if only for the (as my avatar famously said) saying: "Just give me one free miracle, and I'll explain...

    I've always wondered about these economics. And it's not just one Twitch stream. There was a picture posted in the FSR on Jan 1st of a few thousand people in some city square, everyone had their phone up recording the transition to the new year. Most of those videos will be uploaded to some sort...

    So a week ago I posted some pictures of a Römertopf clay pot I found. Turned out it was my Grandmother's and she died 40 years ago, so it hasn't been used in a while. I ended up finding some videos on how to use it and made a beef stew from a combination of these two videos. I browned three...

    The simple answer is to just allow people to edit their algo and interface like a normal civilisation would have done. But we can't have that in Globohomo algo world.

    Found this in my Mother's closet. It must be 40 or 50 years old, at least. I know my Mother has never used it, probably came from my Grandmother. I thought it was maybe completely unused, but when I opened it it does look like it was used once or twice. I have no idea what it is or how to use...

    She reminds me of that wife who posted here a while back before naffing off after her marriage went to shits. She posted a pic of herself in her bra. Similar milkers. Good times. Can't remember her name. Just her tits. The way God intended it to be! Pic unrelated

    We're getting dumber, and it's measurable, because our entire society now revolves around helping idiots have children while the smart ones don't. Back then, if you were not smart enough to figure out what was going on, you would not thrive, and probably would die. Recent studies where the...
