    Apparently the reason the servers were down was a DDOS attack.
  2. the best laid plans of mice and men / too oft go aglee. Fuck, man. I can't remember the last thing I tried to do that was more than one step complicated. Children bite harder than cats.

    No worries man, I just hope you found out before you had those edibles!

    I would love to do that capstone dungeon if you don't mind carrying me a bit. Tier IIIs exp rate sucks.
  5. My last playthroughs of Oblivion and Fallouts 3 and NV were all on the steam deck and modded. My last Skyrim play was the switch because at that time playing it portably seemed close to actual magic. I remember loving Goldeneye four player split screen at like 6-14 FPS. It's far easier to accept a reality you are born into, than to have to downgrade.
  6. And yet a ton of us played them on consoles without mods and still loved them.

    My issue with PvP is that there's no weight to it. The few times I've been in there doing whispers and died it's like "oh no I lost some currency for cosmetics." Give me something like The Division's "dark zone" where you're more likely to get great loot, but you have to extract it before people take it from you. Also yeah people need to be auto-assigned a tier for it, just like in that game. But until there are meaningful stakes I just don't care.

    Thanks I may take you up on that if the offer still stands tomorrow.
  9. The human-centric nature of the federation never made much sense, but it was always very much there. Mostly for budget reason I assume. Enterprise at least tries to adress why they became sort of the core of the federation: the other founding members more or less hated each other but got along with us charming humans. Apparently Mount had a baby and was less available early in the season. I suspect that was part of the reasoning for this bottle episode where he didn't have to do much.

    Yeah I noticed that too on my sorcerer about not being able to refund all. It was free for me though cause I was still low enough level or world tier, not sure which. I haven't played my necromancer all week, I've decided to get the sorcerer up to comprable levels (76) first. I'm currently in that Tier III slog where I can't quite do the capstone yet at level 55.

    oh nice they added a timer for world bosses to helltides.com. Probably the thing I've done the least because it was so seemingly random. There's one in 25 minutes I'm setting a reminder timer. It's gonna be interesting on my sorcerer character though. Still in tier III but I haven't wanted to spend the gold for enchantments and upgrades. It's been rough going.
  12. I can't remember is Rhodey VP? That was at one point going to be the case in like, Endgame. I'm not sure if it ever made it on screen?
  13. Being John Malkovich is a werid fucking movie. I would watch a documentary on how the hell that got made, especailly how they got him on board.
  14. I thought Thor 4 was fairly amusing, but it reminds me of another problem with modern movies especially comic book ones. Apparently he had like a four hour cut. Like what the hell. Many high profile actos had their parts totally cut out. You know they're not gonna let you release a three and a half hour Thor movie. Why are you writing a story that takes that long and then cutting it down to arguably less than the bear minimum it needs to be coherant?
  15. What are you basing that on? Has there even been a trailer? I would add that these movies come out on Disney+ or whatever so quickly now. Unless a movie is a huge event thing I'm personally not bothering to go see it. I heard Guardians 3 was good but it's nothing that won't wait till I can watch it at home. Kinda an odd example though isn't it? I haven't seen it but isn't a kids movie only sorta DCEU related?
  16. I think it lands better if it's Saavik, a character we know and care about. Even parts of the script feel leftover from that like when she brings up the murder of Kirk's son, which Saavik witnessed. She at least has a history with the Klingons, and cried when Spock died showing she does have emotions. The betrayal doesn't hit as hard when it's a new character. I think the fans attachment to the character is exactly why it should have been her. I think there's a middle ground between early TNG when the "no conflict" rule was in effect and weak drama of some of the newer shows. Like DS9 and to a lesser extent later TNG allowed interpersonal conflict among the crews without it going over the top.
  17. Wow he really thought he could get the finished movie shelved? Weird. Another way he was head of his time I guess...
  18. Man Star Trek V was even worse than I remembered. Undiscovered Country was a good send-off. Though parts of it work a lot better if you just pretend Valaris is Saavik. Fuckin Roddenberry man. Thanks for creating the franchise I like, but every time I hear one of your ideas or mandates it is a terrible idea. "I know, lets not allow our characters to have interpersonal conflicts!" like what the fuck.
  19. I don't think it should be that expensive, but if you don't want the actual box I could probably fit the four disk cases and pamphlet into one of those padded envelopes and it would be cheaper. I'm not really sure how to get a quote for shipping something other than actually sending it. I'll poke around on the post office website when I get a minute. I think people have covered this but The Leftovers does get a lot better. Especially with the start of the second season.

    I need to do more nightmare dungeons. There are no legendary glyphs, right? I was holding off because I didn't want to upgrade blue and yellow ones if I was gonna get better ones.
  21. Anyone whose ever seen a police procedural knows you don't talk to the cops without a lawyer. Even knowing that though, the first time I was aressted I spoke at length with the police and didn't get a lawer until after I was processed. Especially if you think you didn't do anything wrong, the tendency is to defend yourself. "Keep your mouth shut" sounds simple in a vaccum but it's harder in practice.
