    Aliens and imploding simulations.

    Noone could know that. The simulation hypothesis doesn't attempt to explain anything about HOW, but simply why. It basically says given what we know and what we've empirically observed, the probability of living in a nested ancestor simulation is far far higher than us living in a perfectly...

    Aliens and imploding simulations.

    If you believe the simulation hypothesis, then you have to accept its extrapolation in totality. Ancestor simulations powered by a dyson swarm would be constrained by the death of that star. A K-3 civilization would inevitably either go extinct or expand their capability to fill their...

    Aliens and imploding simulations.

    It's all virtual sex tho, right? We're all living the FINAL millisecond of this universe. The only way we could collect enough energy to power the computing substrate was to collect all the energy concentrated at the very last second of the BIG CRUNCH. Right now we're living frozen in the...

    The internet as it was in 1996

    Back then I only used my PC for gaming although I was entirely in software during that time... I was still doing old amiga m68k stuff and evangelizing for PowerPC/ARM risc platforms. Was a fucking golden age for sure. We worked on some BSD stuff on the old "blinkenlights" BeBox and BeOS...

    66mhz in 97? nah man that was already pentium pro/II era. The klamath die came out in 97 for cheap as the first Celeron and you could turbo it to 233mhz. Was fucking HUGE!

    Does buying the MSQ skip unlock all the raids/blue content stuff for all of 2.x? You literally do NOT see how the ARR story ends unless you play through coils of bahamut. There's a fully-rendered cinematic that's only seen in the raid that's the actual ending of the intro movie. It explains...

    Oh if you haven't done the MSQ, that's definitely the fastest exp of all. When you're underlevelled for the next MSQ quest just do a dungeon or the levelling daily for the bonus and you catch up then just keep doing the MSQ. The MSQ exp reward is always a large percentage of your exp bar so...

    Potd is prolly the fastest for dps jobs but holy shit you can burn out real fast just spamming that. I got my sam from 50 to 70 in a little under two days just doing potd then hoh but I was about ready to step away from the game after that. Doing the MSQ is the fastest exp, followed by doing...

    Imperator: Rome (2019)

    I fell off the dev diary train but the early looks I saw (admittedly fairly early on) it was looking like they were adapting the VICTORIA pops economic system into Imperator. Victoria is easily their best economic sim and a new game with it has been a long time coming.

    The last step of the eureka weapon will need the crystalline scales off the Providence Watcher, you cant buy those with crystals. The base il 405 eureka weapons themselves are bis after you get the 5 lines of substats even with mediocre substat rolls versus the 405 omega weapons. Seiryu...

    yeah i earned enough pagos lights to make another weapon just idly farming speed belts/cassie earrings. you can make like 6 lights an hour farming coldboxes in a fast group without even trying.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    different types of light. You use the pyros light to upgrade the final eureka/physeos weapon tho.

    That's how it works sometimes. They iterated through different schemes over the years and it was a little jarring going through them all at once as new player.

    You can only sign up for duty roulette on content you have unlocked. It wouldn't even show up on your duty list if you haven't unlocked it. If you've unlocked a dungeon/raid and DON'T meet the level/gear requirements it would just be greyed out.

    I just use holy spirit to pull. Longer range than provoke and decent enough damage to lock in threat. In BA where it can pull multiple mobs, the extra range gives you time to switch targets and shield lob/taunt incoming adds before they hit the group. In fact, I haven't had any trouble...

    You'll wanna do NMs in eureka until you get 900 genesis tokens. Eureka is the fastest way to cap out genesis tomes hands down, and since the cap was raised to 900 last week, you'll wanna stick with the NM trains to cap them. With the genesis tomes you can get 390 gear, then do the Ivalice...

    Especially considering the primary reason they gave that Dancer wasn't a healer job was because they're in the midst of major revamp of the heal/throughput paradigm amongst the existing healers.

    Don't believe the whole "Eureka is optional" spiel like I did. As fun as getting o12s was, weekly coin raids and all the ex trials, the real endgame takes you through Eureka and the rewards reflect that. In fact after I realized that, I went back and did all the old raids and sure enough...

    It's not that bad. You can check in on the BA discord for your datacenter and see when the next BA run is happening and get an easy 30 crystals from the support nm. Even without that hydatos has been the easiest farm for me.

    I was trolling a libcunt buddy on his anxiety about automation and blurted out "Y'all should just find a way to unionize robots!" I could see the lightbulb popping behind his dull cuck eyes and knew, right then, that I've created a monster.

    since you're still in the neighborhood, you should unlock the crystal tower raid and play through it. It figures prominently in the upcoming expansion.

    So yeah, the callbacks to the Crystal Tower raid cutscenes are key to ShB. The expac's story goes back all the way to 2.1 lol. Also, I went down the rabbit hole on those lore videos and found a documentary on the utter failure of FFXIV 1.0 and how Squeenix nutted up and pulled through it...

    Oh yeah they've done tons of table-setting for that in the MSQ. There's a huge part of the post-ARR patch content that deals with the Source/first/13th worlds. It supposedly goes even further back in the Crystal Tower raid cutscenes, but I havent finished keying for that.

    Is that the relic line that ends up with Aettir? I like how that looks but you could just finish Eureka for the 70 relic, went by pretty quickly for me and the 70 weapon looks pretty sweet too:
