    They definitely went all "Oh, you like primals? HOW ABOUT BLUE/PURPLE ONES?!!" Final scenario battle of Shadowbringers was pretty great imo

    The shard farming pretty much becomes a non-thing when you get on the ephemeral node train. You do it for the materials (aethersands, etc) and your in between ones or not quite so high quality hits will shower you in shards/crystals/clusters.

    This is exactly where this belongs. Was drunk and talking about forum sites with some friends I visit, and I brought up how we have randomly come across trannies multiple times while trying to find a permanent home, and they said "So your favorite website is full of massive hotdogs?" It was...

    It really comes down to having high enough perception that you can do two scrutiny > meticulous in a row and then check to see if you can get away with another meticulous or if you need to use scour for the base increase to hit 1000. If you have the GP left and it's still awhile from the next...

    Depends on level; they basically truncated the stuff so that it doesn't vary anymore. There's specific items that can be gathered, and they spawn at certain times, consistently. Then it's just teleporting around. maybe? As for optimal rotation, it will basically fall down to a very simple...

    Yeah there's a "confidential" beta going on right now. But really, with them having open beta weekend after next, why? Of all the things to potentially complain about the game, lag/server stability didn't really seem one for me. I'm already pre-ordered and ready to go; I don't care if they...

    Why does anyone care again about a guy who is legit boxing training beating up wrestlers and former NBA players? Any real boxers would dismantle him, which is why he's only challenging "famous" people.

    They get tremendous mileage out of having a single character but letting you do all the classes. And no hard coded factions. So you get to experience everything on one character. WoW, for example, requires you to play at least two to see both storylines (horde/alliance) and even more if you...

    Dune (2020)

    Two Towers is -not- perfect.. why the fuck would anyone say that? It basically ruined the stoicism of the character that was Faramir. Like I left the theatre going "wtf, why would they do that?" He's never entranced by the ring or what it could do; he finds out the hobbits' mission and lets...

    It's not good. Pretty, but not good. Could have done without the random handjob by the "Lady" character, while the old woman who is never explained just kind of hangs out. Just a lot of shit that doesn't make sense even within the context of the narrative. And then the entire "ending"...

    There's a board in Rhalgr's reach as well as in Kugane. Rhalgar's is like right across the hall from the tomestone/token vendors, and Kugane is on the bottom level/outside of the spiral tower thing near the docks.

    Also, if you have pre-ordered endwalker, you'll get an earring that will work up to level 80 with 30% xp boost. If you're planning on going the distance, I would get that so you can level faster in the Shadowbringers content. Not that there's any reason to rush; it's all great.

    Doesn't have to be binary! Por que no los dos? They both say some dumb shit. Biden just happens to be saying dumb shit while leading the "free" world. Trump said plenty of dumb shit while he was doing it; they should apply the same lens to both.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's a concept of perception of the company. The fact that it is believable, even as an abstract, means people think the company is absolutely bonkers. Whether or not they do the actual nonsense is not really relevant; it's the perception that it is something they "would" do that is important...

    This is similar to the whole DnD nonsense thing about making a wheelchair friendly adventure. Nobody who isn't some weird ass crazy person wants to roleplay as a crippled individual. Zero sane people. Same with making fat characters; I make a fat character because it's funny (see: giant round...

    Can you even make a fat anything in FFXIV? I legit don't even know if that's possible. If you spend your days running around fighting shit you probably aren't a ball of lard. Every adventurer should be ripped just from running to Waking Sands and back.

    I'm actually amazed at how easy it is to farm up white scrips for gathering. I've spent like 2 hours just dicking around and I've managed to gear out 2/3 retainers fully in white scrip gear. Quite the change from previous iterations. To be fair, I have full melded aetheste gear and at least...

    Like most the world, people who weren't following Cosby around looking for hidden nyquil bottles probably all found out at the same time that Hannibal Buress started talking about it. The number of people "in the know" before that was pretty miniscule. And probably sleepy from all the cocktails.

    I think it's really going to "require" being on the right faction with gathering bonuses, as well as house based gathering bonuses, max skill, gear with + mods, and food, to really "farm" the stuff effectively. You're making effectively raid level gear; I would imagine it takes a raid level...

    On the stat stuff, there are gems you can socket that change the attribute usage/distribution. So like if you are going full focus, you can gem up a sword/shield set to use a % of focus instead of strength, making it more viable to use alternate weapons. I believe they also scale with tier of...

    It's a box fee. There's no sub (unless I'm reading all the things wrong). If people enjoy themselves for x hours and it's worth the box fee, that's really all they -need- to deliver. They aren't fighting for subs. They aren't fighting for long-term player retention, because it literally...

    Pretty sure WoW has legit made Activision -billions- of dollars. There's zero regret. This may fuck up future revenue but being sad about making shitloads of money for minimal (comparatively) investment? Yeah, Activision doesn't give a shit. At worst, they claim Blizzard is the source of all...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    The first book is the absolute worst for that feeling. Upon a reread, it's a substantially better novel, but the first time through is just "wtf is that? Why is that happening? Why do we care who this person is?" After you come back to it from finishing the series, it's a bunch of "oh shit...
