    Defense Against Becoming Another 8chan

    It's retarded. They're trying to make it a "big topic" NOW because they've failed to silence 4chan since Gamergate and eventually the memewar that got Trump into office.....but those stormfag shooters spent more time on Twitter and Reddit than anything else and even if they DID post on 8ch or...

    Goddammit, @TJT.... I'm already behind on savage raiding in FFXIV because Oxygen Not Included released and now I'm fucking balls deep into this shit. It runs on java lol.

    Defense Against Becoming Another 8chan

    A "big topic" for whom? The same cuckfaggots who've been gunning to kill /pol/ since Gamergate 5 years ago? No, 4chan's culture hasn't changed since Pool's Closed and YTMND memes. Those people who think it's a "big topic" now are just infuriated that the same people who brought Scientology to...

    I remember following this back when it came up in the SPAZ subreddit years ago. Is it on steam EA now?

    Oxygen Not Included

    Ive found that a lot of his coolest builds ended up being possible only pretty late in the game because most of them are only efficient in the sandbox! Still learned a ton of automation and filter tricks from him tho. Using metal floor tiles as a poor man's temp shift plates was a literal...

    Oxygen Not Included

    The survival game is really fun on the more challenging worlds and a lot of the older youtube stuff isn't relevant with the new biomes. A lot of the new biomes and critters obsolete a lot of the old builds. The salt biome alone and desalination in the ocean worlds more or less throws out...

    Switched to release for me automagically actually, I'd been opted into the launch upgrade for weeks. Started on one of the harder planets and they are NOT fucking around with the metal scarcity one.

    I wasn't there but I remember YoshiP complaining that raiders burned through o12s faster than he wanted.... I can't imagine o4s taking too long.

    Havent played any gestalt races since megacorp actually. The megacorp playstyle works with tall builds so well that i couldnt get one going past 2300 at admiral. By the time I'd gotten one rolling the game had become unplayable so i set it aside until ancient relics came out. When I picked...

    They fixed it quite a bit last patch. I've finished a few games on large and the slowdown wasn't much worse than pre-2.0. Which is prolly still bad since they were supposed to fix it in the first place. On medium it runs great all the way through.

    If you zoom in you should hear the actual surface bombardment if you're actually at war and your national policy allows for orbital bombardment. Bear in mind that unless you're one of the hivemind/fanatic/annihilator races, there are serious political repercussions for aggressive planetary...

    2d lets you use gravity alongside the game's physics and fluid dynamics for some fun builds. My favorite things to do are gravity filters and pumps that end up being energy-neutral or net extra electricity. The rotate-able turbine is gonna be amazing.

    What did you just read?

    Just picked up Neal Stephenson's latest book Fall; Or Dodge in Hell it's a sequel to Reamde, which was about the nexus between MMORPG's, Russian Ransomware and Islamic terrorism. Just started it but it seems to be about post-humanism and the Singularity in addition to all that stuff.

    The role quests are blue+ quests since they unlock your artifact coffer, I guess? Do they unlock anything else aside from that? Unless it unlocks content or a game system they would've just been yellow lore quests. Come to think of it, I know some folks have already unlocked the combined...

    If you've uploaded any fights take a look at the difference between skill breakdowns between you and above-average dps folks in you class. You'll see they'll have much higher uses of certain skills in the same 8-10 mins than others etc. Often you'll find people with insane parses are able to...

    The best part about that is the way they use that song at a very particular moment. We've heard that acoustic guitar version of that song for over a year now--in trailers and videos and shit--but the way they use it in that ONE moment makes it shine.

    Hallowed is 420 secs, he wouldnt be able to soak the next one. Besides unless the tanks are severely undergeared the split damage isn't that terrible to deal with.

    People keep squeeing about that E1 phase but I never got into FF8 since Squall is a faggot so I didn't get it. Someone linked this on discord so I guess the squeeing from the FF8 weebs make a little more sense:

    Yeah YoshiP said there will be a new Eureka a little earlier in 5.x than Eureka itself was. Eureka debuted with 4.25, almost 9 months after Stormblood.

    The Eden story barely even starts after the 4 bosses. We haven't even seen one of the main characters yet since she's still in a coma with Thancred watching her sleep. The previous raids usually ended with up 12-16 bosses for the whole raid series.

    I wouldn't worry about that too much. At worst you'll lose a couple weeks to wow classic before nostalgia gives way to reality. If your brother tried FFXIV and he still thinks vanilla wow was the more polished product, then he's almost certainly gonna find other things to do than log into wow...

    Yeah the MSQ isn't all that long in the grand scheme of how much time people generally spend playing MMOs ___ANYWAY___. If you were to compare it to FF15 or other single-player games then sure MAYBE.... But then it's not even as long as a good completionist Skyrim or Witcher 3 playthrough.

    449 now woo. So I kept redoing some of the eden trials a few times to roll for my last two leggings tokens and you can tell the groups getting worse and worse after breakfast. Any word if they're gonna drop the weekly caps on the Normal tokens when savage comes out? Also I've been getting...

    If it's true for lower-pop servers to then that may be the case. Prolly more like a cap on simultaneous logins that's getting hung up by people reconnecting on purpose after getting dropped.

    What's your biggest loss in a game? (Data wipe, save corruption, impossible boss, etc)

    Lost a few level 99 barbs in Diablo2 hardcore back in the day. Every time I'd just stare at the death screen for 10+ minutes and swear I'll never play again. And every time I'd just roll another one. Aside from that I lost a couple dreadnoughts and a carrier in Eve, back in a time when their...

    I knew about the ferry route but never bothered. The meme is hilarious but really, it wasnt that bad playing throught that part of the MSQ. It's subjective so it feels longer for folks who can't stand long quest chains, but playing through the MSQ is not objectively that long in terms of...
