How did we get here?Follow

No... not now. How did get here the first time? We all got here the first time because of whatever MMO we were playing at that time, probably. Does anyone play games anymore? I started as a brash young adult with warped views of life. I was a 19yo virgin mael with it all figured out playing some FFXI. Some may remember a troll, some may remember nothing at all, and probably nobody remembers that i won best looking male of the asylum SHOUT OUT LADY DEADSIDE DEMON. Brings a tear to my damn eye. damnit. im here to ignite some souls!!!! Does anyone play any video games anymore?

Better than people or small animals I suppose.

I've been consistently disappointed with PC games. Best games I've played as of late include Return of the Obra Dinn, Snake Pass, and A Hat in Time. Tales of Beseria had a disappointing combat system, Nino Kuni 2 was basically a Tales game. Pillars of Eternity 2 was a lot of complexity for very little depth.

I'm currently playing Apex Legends for a multiplayer, largely because it is the only game my friends and I can agree upon. But Battle Royales have pretty significant inherent problems that are difficult to overcome.

I'm in a Pathfinder campaign set in the Warhammer universe. I prefer D&D 4, but I've largely played out all the content there is in that game. D&D 5 is too much of a halfway point between the extreme polarity of D&D 4 and D&D 3.5, so might as well go full 3.5 with Pathfinder.

I'm learning C# and Unity with some vague and half-hearted desire to build my own games (primarily an RPG), largely because I;m so annoyed with the direction the genre is going (Western RPGs are just garbage, **** Dragon Age, **** Mass Effect, **** Witcher, and **** Elder Scrolls) while JRPGs seem to have become less popular.

Apex, Warframe, FedII, Zero Dawn currently.

Also play Infinity and Batman the Game once or twice a week when I can. I prime minis and pretend I'm going to paint them someday because I have 5 kids at home.

Quite enjoyed LOTRO when I played it for a while. Forgot account details and as such lost all of the expacs etc and couldn't get back into it when I started a new account.

I ended up here when the ubb forums switched over.

I understand how Allegory can hate WRPGs, but I don't understand how the same complaints magically evaporate away when JRPGs come up. They're still applicable. They're just joined by an inane, disjointed story padded out with forty+ hours of grinding starfish anuses.

Oh, and I came here for WoW, of course, a fun game that I'm very glad I quit the best part of a decade ago. A D&D group would be great, but for some reason I don't have many friends. I know, it's hard to believe. At the moment I'm playing X-COM 2 and blasting aliens in preparation for Trump's second term.

I do!! I was staying at my brothers place in 2005 (he'd been playing EQ since launch) and on my first day of playing I'd ask "Hey, Pat, how do I "xyz"? He'd be all like "Oh! Just blah blah blah. All day. It was awesome.

Day 2 on EQ: "Hey, Pat? What is (item_whatever) for? And he was all like "LOOK IT UP!! I'M ON A RAID!!", and told me where to go.

Good times...

Yeah, same. Two to three years on Alla's before I set foot in that hellscape.

Pikko, Queen of Bento?

I was brought here by EQ. Trolled a bunch, Kao or Dana deleted my first 500 posts because I went and spammed a shock video to all of the boards.

All of them.

Kao was nice enough not to ban me.

I'm probably too cool to care about a secret discord. (did they buy it?)

I meant, did they buy it, my cool guy persona. So, yeah, totally nailed it.

Are you on Allegory's discord? Because half of those people aren't anyone. They're not even scholars.

There's a discord??
