Lurker > Black_Crusher

Here is a short story from way back when I was in H.S.

Her dad dropped us both off at my house and said "So what are you two going to do today?" to which I said "I don't know, probably just hang out in my room or something". He goes: "That's the wrong answer".

Moral is: No, don't text her dad.

I'm playing Diablo 2 R on mine now and just had my first ever HoZ drop off Nightmare meph. It's a pretty sick shield, even if it's kind of a low/mid roll on the ED%. Playing SP offline so trading for decent crap is out of the question.

I had to tell somebody about it because I'm a big dork. Finally something friggin' good on this damn slot machine of a game!

You're watching the wrong ones, a great western is like none other.

I'd highly recommend any of these-

• High Plains Drifter
• Outlaw Josey Wales
• Unforgiven
• 3:10 to Yuma
• True Grit
• The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

But yeah, many are slow burns.

Sorry, I can't not think of this though:



I've worked at places where they you can't have loose clothes, long hair and jewelry for similar reasons- getting stuck in the machine ain't no joke. My boss used to work at a heat treating plant and there are big furnaces that suck all the oxygen out that people have gotten knocked unconscious and died inside too.

Well heads up in case you guys grab Dark Souls (it's still 50% off for another day I think)-

I grabbed it yesterday and for whatever reason they reversed the cancel / action buttons on Switch from what they were on the XBOX and PS3 / 4.

So it's "B" (or what's normally cancel) for action, "A" (or what's normally action) for cancel / backdash - roll. It's friggin's stupid and I hate it. Now to be fair, you can remap these in the options however there's still plenty of places on the game menus and etc where you have to go back to the crappy, reversed button layout.

Fighting and etc feels good again, but having to equip shit and anything in the inventory is weird asf still. I figure I should mention it as my good deed of the day or something.

I love my Lite but you're 100% right. ESPECIALLY on a game like Three Houses (my 1st Switch game). Some of the fonts on the submenu are like 2pt, it's insane.

Not to mention if the Lite gets drift - a problem the Switch / Lite are prone to - you have to send your whole system in just to have it fixed instead of just sending in the separate joycons.

I got a huge surprise this morning, a popular youtuber put the game up last night and it's by far the most exposure I've gotten yet.

This video does have me thinking about all the flashing effects though- I mostly have them because the games I grew up with had them so I'm used to it but maybe it wasn't such a hot idea.

Whoops, didn't see this before.

When I first started playing bass (the first few years) I used to have big combo amps and they were a pain in the ass to take to gigs. Worse, we used to practice in the basement of the drummer's karate studio so taking anything upstairs was done through this really narrow hallway and it sucked.

After that I decided any other big amps were going to come with wheels, dammit. Wouldn't help going up stairs of course but everywhere else you just roll it around and it's so much better.

In Darkest Dungeon, your characters can get the kleptomaniac quirk which causes them to steal items you find in the dungeon. It was patched out, but there was a chance that characters with this quirk would steal key items you needed to complete missions, and in the case of the Crimson Court missions, this could permanently destroy your ability to proceed through that part of the game. Yes, this did happen to me. Argh.

Oh Jesus Christ that game is hard enough, thank you.

My Crusader was a klepto but he never stole anything really worth too much. I do think it's kind of funny when he just suddenly jumps in all "AH, I THINK I WILL KEEP THIS FOR MYSELF!"

I was reading up on this a lot when it first happened. I always thought a prop gun meant it was fake but no I guess they like to use real ones whenever possible- not only because they look real (durr) but because it's supposed to provide a realistic kick when fired for the actor.

I wonder if after this they'll just always have to use fake guns for everything?

After about a year and a half it's finally DONE. Ahhhhhh!!!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1630690/

Story:
When an evil wizard writes a 6000-page book to bore the townspeople to death, it's up to you to take the damn thing and return it FROM WHENCE IT CAME. You play as either Warrior, Thief, Wizard, or Cleric and journey through several different areas on your way to the evil wizard's tower.

About:
The main focus for this game was to create a fun roguelike with an easy to use control scheme. Speaking for myself as a player, I am often intimidated by the sheer complexity of many roguelikes where I'm always consulting the commands help trying to figure out what does what.

To this end, EQ2 is played almost exclusively with just the arrow keys to move around and the space bar to interact with different objects or circumstances. Moving on top of or next to something that can be interacted with and pressing the space bar will call up a context menu with any possible options you can perform, or automatically perform a minor action if there's only one possibility.

You can access the in-game helpful tip menu by pressing "H", wait a turn by pressing "W", "I" which opens your inventory, "S" which shows your status and skills as well as any current effects going on, and lastly "ESC" which lets you quit and save for next time.

Combat:
Fighting in the game is done mostly through running into enemies and triggering a 1st person battle. Combat options are determined by your class skills as well as the equipment in both of your hands. A sword for example has a move called Aim Slice which is more accurate but less damaging. Mace-type weapons can smash and reduce enemy armor. Rapiers let you dodge and have a passive where you'll automatically riposte the enemy after blocking with a shield. You can carry a shield and defend yourself, which also recovers stamina needed to perform these battle actions. You can even read The Warren Peace itself and put yourself to sleep for a turn! Etc etc, I shouldn't spoil it all here!

Additionally, upon reaching higher levels you'll be able to auto kill some weaker enemies just by bumping into them. I figure they're trivial for your guy by that point so it made sense to have it this way.

Equipment:
EQ2 has a heavy focus on making the stuff you wear or smash monsters with as interesting as possible. You can find hundreds of different pieces of gear and most of these can be upgraded up to three times each. A recent addition to the game is the Runic modifier, which can randomly appear on any weapon coming out of a chest. These can not only augment piddly weak-ass weapons like a knife but also a powerful unique axe. To give you some examples, you can have a knife that makes chests spawn more often, a club that increases enemy loot drop %, a sword that has a firey strike chance, a magic battleaxe that any class can use, etc.

So gear is divided up into- Common, Rare, Unique, Runic, Enemy Drop, and Heroic. Heroic gear is so good that it can't be upgraded further. You'll know if you've found one as it has a flashing green name tag. Enemies drop gear you can't really get elsewhere so between all of this it helps keep the game fresh.

Demo:
If you are curious, there's also a free demo on the store page you can try. It's not as up to date as the full game however it will for sure give you a good idea on what's up and if you might like it or not. The demo lets you play as the Warrior through the first two areas (Temple & Desert).

Any questions please ask away of course!

I wasnt hugely into grunge as a genre, though, even at the height of its popularity (at a time when most of my peers were teenagers and into it). So that was a strike against them no matter what their music was like. Though I did like Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots.

Yeah man, same here. Some of the girls we hung out with liked grunge a lot (one would just go on and on about friggin Mike Starr from AiC, Jesus Christ it was annoying) but me and my buddies were into Rush, Megadeth, and old (not the black album) Metallica. Pantera was coming on strong around then too with Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven not too far down the road.

As an aside, when Starr got replaced by Inez she got super moody lol

If Blight Town made you quit the rest of the game is much better, Blight Town is a huge "fuck you" area.

I used to hate and I mean HATE Blighttown. Especially the 360's "4 FPS" version. But once you realize that they put torches next to the ladders it's not too terrible. I will say that the intended way to go through it (from The Depths) is a lot harder than going in the back way (giggity). And thankfully those toxic dart guys don't respawn when you kill them either.

wolfy42 posted...

Honestly it's a bit controversial, but I think Dark Soul 3 is the best starting out game of the bunch. It's easier,

Oh Wolfy, hard disagree with you here. I thought DKS3 was the hardest of them all. I was able to get to the final castle after lots and lots of dying (and I do mean lots). I beat the first DKS1 a few times, I beat DKS2, but I don't know what it is but it's like your guy in DKS3 moves like the one in Bloodborne only you don't have the HP regain on counterattack mechanic. It seems like every enemy is way too aggressive and take a ton of hits to kill. And I even had really good weapons (Spiked Mace +9 / Dorthys' Gnawing spell, etc). But the thing about From games is what's impossible for one guy is easy for the next. The Watchers I think I died more than 30 times total easily. The Dancer took me a couple days. Eff those guys. But Pontiff Sulihan or w/e he is I beat on the second try, and that boss is supposed to be super difficult for many.

It is, although I admit that it is almost "too good", as in they really should have made the interface more console friendly. That is why I like playing the PC version more.

I think as far as console ports, 3 and 4 on the NES were really good. I pretty much always prefer them over their PC counterparts.

Yeah I actually wrote (crappy) reviews for both NES games here like 15 years ago. Quest of the Avatar is really good, I like that one a whole lot. Not understanding how the starter questions worked, I ended up being a Druid the first time through.

7th Saga

I came here to say this. Super difficult, I only managed to win it once with the blue knight guy.

There are mechanics involved in the game where leveling up actually starts putting you at a big disadvantage, as your main competition (your rivals / the other character choices at the start) and I think bosses are always a higher level than you are. So they'll gain skills and spells that are really strong while you don't as quickly.

On the PC side, Ultimas 2, 3, 5, and 6 are pretty difficult

Ultima 6 on the SNES was pretty hard too. It's a really good port if you haven't played it.

EDIT: I saw someone mention the Might & Magics. Part 2 I found to be crazy tough to figure out where to go. That game is just huge.
