I expected some delay, but 5 months is a lot. Damn.

Just self-6L my first item in PoE. I got incredibly lucky. I completed Mastermind and had a quality and white sockets bench in the Safehouse. The server is restarting soon (maybe already has), and I didn't have anything imminently obvious I hadn't already begun to craft. Short on time, I didn't want to try to find and trade for something quick, so for fun I took a QOTF and got it to 28%. It took roughly 30 jewlers, and only 100 fusings, to 6 link. Unfortunately I only got 1 white socket, so it's worth pretty much just it's current going rate of 2ex, but it still felt like a cool accomplishment to check off the list.

Anyone got any good mobile suggestions? I've played South Park: Phone Destroyer (even though I don't think I've ever watched the show) since July and am ready for something new. Not willing to pay real cash to progress in the game and I think I hit a wall due to that.

You get a free trial month if you sign up for Apple Arcade. Sayonara Wild Hearts is a good one to start with.

I'm replaying Dark Souls 3 and I'm about 20 hours in. Every time I play one of these From Software games I'm jaw on the floor blown away by the level design. It's mind-blowing.

I'm re-playing Scholar on ps4 at the moment. My goal is to eventually platinum all of them (I've done so with Demons and Dark so far).

I got like 5 new games for Christmas that I haven't touched in order to play a game released in 2015. :lol:

CyberPunk seems like one of those games that's destined to not live up to its massive hype.

Man, DS2 had some of the worst **** fights in the whole series. But it also had some really great moments (mostly DLC).

DS2 is hilarious in that most people don't figure to level ADP/AGI making the game much more difficult.

TBF, the FromSoft C-team that made the game had basically no reason to totally change the formula of the game around those stats so that you could somehow avoid the terrible clipping of **** Smelter Demon (and then recycled Blue **** Smelter Demon Whose Clipping Is Totally Time Differently To **** You Over For Learning the **** Clipping of The Original Smelter Demon).

LOL tbf didn't they do the same sh*t in the original DS when they re-used the Asylum Demon three times and added an attack each time to screw you over if you used the same strats from the previous? Like I think the Fire version would sh*t out fire at you when you attacked from behind the same was that was effective for the first one. My memory is hazy though, and I don't think those were as difficult as Smelter either way.

That is a good point. Last Asylum Demon in Izalith (that everybody skipped anyways cause they wanted to save sunbro from the maggot) is an incredibly disappointing fight. But DS2 has Blue Smelter Demon, two Dragonknights (with still no dragon), bad Ornstein, and 2 cats - lots of fights that are fundamentally similar to earlier fights just "moar gank"

I've been stuck on the cursed greatwood boss for literally hours and I have no idea what's going on. I don't ever remember getting this worked the first time around.

ETA: And the first time i try after this post I beat the fu*ker.

Had my best run in Tarkov a couple of nights ago. Went in as a Scav and came out with helmet + armor + rig + backpack + sniper + fully kitted M4 + fully kitted AK74M. I was sweating trying to get to the extraction point.

I've looked up some stuff about this game since you first mentioned it. 1) I'm confused. 2) This game is so **** hardcore, way too much for me.

There's still so much for me to learn and the game is still in "beta".

It's like the last game that still gives that nervousness you used to get as a kid watching a scary movie.

I wasn't sure I'd like this one. Never played Minecraft or had any desire too. I'm also not particularly creative and seeing what others have made in this game is daunting as hell. But I'm about three hours in and I'm enjoying it a lot. How long is this story mode?

Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I had an uncharacteristically light year though, bought a total of nine games and only six of them were released in 2019.
