called Brighter Shores.

And it looks... pretty much just like Runescape

I'll probably still check it out but considering I'm never going to complete Runescape at this point I doubt I will get heavily invested in it

It was fun for a few hours, but the awkward fast travel mechanics and repetitive combat encounters got to me and I couldn't finish it.

I've been having Almond milk lately, shit is good. Sweet, kinda creamy, not as thick as milk, better for the environment than milk and it's just plain awesome.

Hell no.

The first one, we never were officially dating I guess, even though she didn't have a problem with me buying her gifts and going on little day trips out of town on the weekend. Turns out she was dating a guy who was married with kids.

One kept pressuring me to get married after we started talking for like three months, and then when I said we need to slow down she said she slept with some guy she met on Craigslist.

Another one was my middle/high school bully, and I thought she had changed but apparently not because when I went to visit her for a week she just treated me like shit (besides dumb namecalling, she got on my case for trying to offer to help with chores around the house).

Another one was racist as shit, dumb, told me her mom thought I was the R-word for wanting to date her, used me when she got upset to make her ex and his friends jealous, and tried to do a homebrew abortion with pills and alcohol.

Tell me why I would ever want to be on speaking terms with any of these people who ultimately had zero respect for me? Not that I harbor a grudge or anything but why would I even waste time and energy going out of my way to talk to them?

I actually saw Snapples in plastic bottles at the local commissary, only a few flavors though.

I think the original pinball machines didn't have a tilt function so you could cheat by tilting the machine. Then they got wise to that and started punishing people for trying to do it.

I just lost it.

Dragons Dogma is one of those games that I couldn't really understand.

I loved the concept of the pawn system and how you and your teammates learn strategies against different enemies, but after a point it all started to feel pretty sames-y. You can only jump on a Cyclops and stab its eye so many times before the charm wears down.

And the questing felt like something out of an MMO

The traditional "masculine" thing is to be out on the field tossing balls and knocking people down. It's not "manly" to dance and cheer.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Even for Assassin's Creed games, it was completely soulless and boring.

idk, I actually enjoyed the world of Valhalla. It was a little weird to me since I didn't have any understanding of that period of England's history, but otherwise I liked that they streamlined side content and made it more personal, added a couple minigames to enjoy, and tried to connect the different regions of the world into the story.

Odyssey felt lifeless to me, just because it's just... a big ass countryside of copy and pasted camps and forts.

Honestly, Starfield and that's having played all the other Bethesda games and Ubisoft games and a ton of other games with crappy open worlds.

I am playing Starfield now and it's just so damn soulless. The cities look cool and some of the missions are cool, but exploring is pointless (everything is a copy and paste asset) and you spend as much time in loading screens as you do actually playing the game.

Carrie Fisher gave birth to the most gorgeous creature to ever grace the earth so ya know I can forgive her for not being in more movies.

One guy repeatedly "jokingly" said he was going to rape me, even pulled a knife out on me in the elevator when we were leaving our shift one time.

Shift supervisor reported me to her supervisor that I was depressed and potentially suicidal because I didn't want to hang out with him (or really anyone else on the shift) when they decided to go out for drinks one night.

Have a question about the community orders - is it that you just have to participate in like one mission or operation to earn the medals if the overall order is fulfilled? Or is there some other minimum contribution level you have to reach?

Both the first and second games are amazing.

idk for some reason I couldn't get into 2. I really loved the original, but ... something about the sneaking in 2 felt really off and it sucks.

That's part of the end game. There is a legitimately difficult final boss after that

Then there's a legitimately big possibility that I never finished the game.

Original N64 version yes. I remember reaching the weird last stage (the trivia level?), don't remember if I finished it or not though and definitely never 100% it

I don't think I'm ever going to go back to horizontal. First exposed to this in the Arc Browser (which has a few cool features but not enough to ditch every other browser I have), but the vertical tab scheme is ridiculously good. Just frees up so much real estate on the screen

joke's on them I can recall the number of times I used school bathrooms period on one hand.

You should definitely do the Quest Log daily. It gives you a bit over 20000np per day for doing the 5 quests, plus there's a weekly reward for doing 7 in a row.

Thanks for this tip. Second one was to spin the wheel of mediocrity in Tyrannia, took a whole minute to find the shit lol

Got two really rare items (a morphing potion and a Scorchio piggy bank) hell yeah. Also bombed a minigame outright, didn't even get any NP from it.

Did anyone make a CE group yet?

If anyone wants to know what it looks like or what's left I am going to be exploring it again soon...

I did see the main library of games dropped to like 10 or 12 but you can access the classic games still, just don't know how they work.

Tomagatchi were tanks, I had one go through the washing machine on accident and the screen backing got wrinkled a little but the thing still ran

I enjoyed it, but it definitely fell short in a lot of places and ended up being pretty forgettable.

I remember enjoying the writing for the first hour until I realized they were basically laying the whole anti-capitalism thing on hella thick and there wasn't much else to it. I'm OK with that narrative but the fact that it's there in your face constantly from the first interaction was annoying.

I guess the overall story ended up kind of intriguing now that I'm remembering it though

Wow how dare you?

The soundtrack, the betrayal, the fact it is all based on a true story, all of it. The story is "a guy makes his way up through the mafia", it's there from the very beginning.

I'm in!

It takes a few days (someone on reddit said it took up to 10 days) to get a response from a human. And apparently the standard automated password recovery system is just broken.

I pointed out in another topic, and I don't know if it was mentioned in this one, but the latest election in Russia saw Putin win by a whopping 85%. Can't really say I'm surprised by that, as all his opposition ends up dead and people are afraid to stand up against him.

The lack of opposition is really a result of Putin punishing politicians for trying to take him down.

Even if there were a hundred other candidates Putin would still rake in the vast majority of votes because they would just stuff the ballot boxes and destroy non-Putin votes.

US intel warned them and Putin scoffed at it.

Guy is a piece of shit. And you know Russian propaganda is going to spin this against the US somehow.

I find it strange as hell that a game that amounts to endlessly killing bugs and robots has such extensive lore.

This sounds like Millennials will be the new Gen X, just slipping under the radar.

I was getting very nervous since there's strong evidence Russia has committed false flag attacks (such as with regards to the Moscow apartment bombings in the early 2000s) to justify certain military actions.

Now I'm just confused af why ISIS would attack Russia especially at a time like this.

Just the OT, saw it in the early 90s, was in elementary school when Ep 1 came out.

I don't really think changing proton versions is extreme. It's not like they were trying to swap cards and CPUs for benchmarks (something that also happened)

I think it is stupid that that happened.

But realistically the majority of players are using Windows and this would never happen to them. So to say that a person avoids PC gaming like the plague because of something like *this*... idk

This is part of why I avoid pc gaming like the plague

That is a relatively extreme example. If you're playing normally you're not likely to encounter anything like this.

Still haven't received any help desk response yet...

Resurrection was awesome. The characters and tone were different than the previous movies but it was a cool story and totally enjoyable

With the release of products like Firefox Relay and Proton Pass and probably others, it's become really easy to just create fake email addresses which seems like a really awesome way to help obfuscate attempts at password cracking between services.

just wondering if anyone's gone through the hassle of it though, I've done it on a handful of sites that I've registered for but am leary of doing it for like the... four gazillion places I've registered at already over the past 30 years.

Game has overwhelmingly negative reviews, people were saying you have to spend 2 bucks if you want to make a second character or something >_> edit: Looking at the "DLC" list (is premium currency really "DLC"?), I guess it's just the character creator. And teleport crystals can be purchased too...

How does it play though? I never reached the end of the first one, got kinda tired of the repetitive monster design and lack of fast travel.

Prey was so damn good. Normally I'm rather meh about movies that have relatively singular settings with minimal visual variety, and also meh about movies that generally have a slow pace, but something about Prey just felt very natural, even dreamy at times.

I had very limited computer access for a long time. Wasn't allowed to put games on the family computer because my mom had a friend who literally broke a PC by completely filling the hard drive with Sim City saves. Wasn't computer savvy enough to know how to fix it, either.

I played PSO instead for my early online addiction.

lol that reminds me of when I was in like 6th or 7th grade and my uncle had built me a computer with a 700 MB hard drive. And I saw Pharaoh (the old city builder) and the system requirements said 700 MB so I was like, "I have that!". I don't know how the game actually still managed to run even though the hard drive was completely full... I don't even know how it managed to install considering there was ... you know, Windows 95 and other programs on it taking up space >_>

Had an extract crash through the ground yesterday, so we just survived at the extraction site for like 15 minutes until time ran out.

So you're saying I can try to log into an early 2000s account? I'm tempted to see what I used to have.

Yes, might be a pain in the ass though if you don't remember the password or username.

https://classic.support.neopets.com/hc/en-us/requests/new is the support page for submitting requests in case you do remember some info but not everything. I'm waiting on a response from them now after not receiving any password recovery emails in two days :(

Did an operation on Challenging (thought I was moving up to hard but I guess not), I really need to watch some videos or something to see how people solo this shit because I was getting wrecked even with a full group by armored enemies.

I deleted my twitter account.

First game I ever platinum'd

that seems hard to do, I only did one or two cases but I remember it being way too easy to read someone's facial expressions wrong and use the wrong reaction.

btw I'm on Steam, open to playing with anyone from any platform but I guess if you want to add someone on PS5 you need to generate a friend code first.

So much 'opposite day' in this topic.

Playing Starfield now and find myself reminiscing on Mass Effect 2 when I had so many crew members that I thought were cool (Kasumi was mysterious, Miranda was a bad @%# and people were actually scared of Samara).

I didn't get Legion until near the end of the game but I would have saved his pet on another planet too if I had the chance.

Also playing a lot of Starfield recently and it is depressing that this extremely enormous game has like no soul at all. So I do wish it had... more likeable companions like ME2 I guess.
