    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's painful to do alchemist and leatherworker because they require monster drops, while almost all other classes just require you to go out and grab shit with miner/botanist/fisher (and fisher only for like a couple of things in cooking). Retainers can make those specific classes dramatically...

    Final fight for 5.0 was sort of brutal as well, but I can't think of anything that compares to Shinryu in 4.0. Maybe steps of faith when all the slow/bad players were trying to get into Heavensward as a close second.

    Val (2021)

    I'm pretty sure Real Genius and Top Secret were when I first noticed him. And then in all the movies after. I remember distinctly being upset by him as the father in Alexander, but that movie was a f'n gay trainwreck from start to finish.

    The Mandalorian

    Even though I've loved the Mandalorian series, Boba Fett (Temura) just steals the shit out of the show. Will be interesting to see what they do with him.

    Rick and Morty

    Have you seen the behind the scenes stuff? I think Adult Swim has them up right after the episode airs. Harmon looks like he is only tangentally related to the show these days; I don't think it's fair to say he's tanked it at all. What you have is a bunch of writers who think they know what a...

    I did the same thing somewhat awhile back (years, at this point) right before HW came out if I remember correctly. CS actually helped me super quick. Wasn't a problem at all. Sucks there's no real self help once you set up the authenticator, but their CS team at least seems on the ball in my...

    The multi-platform fuckery is likely due to some legacy agreements, which they are beholden to. Not to mention the DB limitations of the PS3 era and (now) the PS4 era. I'm sorta curious if they decide to nuke part of the ARR/etc storyline and add something similar to how WoW handled the...

    Yeah doing them after the level cap is raised and all the QoL stuff is probably the way to do it for the glamours for the older stuff. I know they made several parts of them easier over time. Still a pretty gnarly grind though hah.

    He's... complicated. He has a fate, and is a world boss, and is also a random spawn, as well as being a duty unto himself. Odin is serious business.

    Load up another game and see if it's gfx card related? Just to determine if it's isolated or system wide. If this is a laptop, it could be something similar to what Pyros said in that the automatic switching may have either defaulted to the embedded/onboard vs. the discrete, or the...

    All dps are viable, and they explicitly removed a lot of the rng from machinist somewhat recently. It's a lot more balanced now.

    There is also some basic math reasons why healers are more in demand: There are only three of them and 1 shares leveling with a dps. 4 distinct tanks and no overlap. Just naturally going to be less healers roaming around so in higher demand. Like said, should hit some parity with endwalker...

    I have a lot of 30/near 30 friends (I'm 40 but my 40 friends are all married and generally just living in that realm) and the one thing I got from this? I'm pretty fuckin happy to be 40 now. That decade difference? Is a monumental change in how life is perceived. This special comes across as...

    Ifrit is super common until after you get to 50/HW content when you choose the leveling roulette. It's one of my favorite ones, because it's so fast and it's harder for people to F the mechanics up.

    This is youtube; this is a guy who says dumb shit on youtube (and also has a ton of "reaction" videos) regarding MMORPGs from the lens of a WoW player. I think it's more silly to think there's nuance vs. money for his actions at this point. If he actually -wanted- to have a decent time...

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    I mean, run with the dexter angle, but have it be someone who is vengeful (thus, emotional) turning pedos and murderers into soups and sauces. This actually seems like a thing that would get a massive base. It hits all the things; legitimization of a basic function that they feel is...

    Stunts get dollars; look at any of the Paul brother's antics over the last year or so. FFXIV is the biggest competitor to WoW for sub dollars, in theory, so it makes perfect sense to get involved to expand his base. I'm still of a mind that it's a stunt.

    Crafting/gathering is such a nice break from the combat grind (especially if you are in POTD hell. HoH isn't nearly as bad imo, but that could just be because I've ground PoTD for so long (HW to now:emoji_nose: Granted I'm your standard all 80s DoH/DoL with BIS gear and almost BIS melds (because I'm...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah the whole "hard" version stuff throws people off to this day. They think it's a hardmode version of the original vs. just using art assets from the original in a completely different dungeon. To be fair, the naming tier stuff in FFXIV is a little silly.Normal > hard > mythic is a lot more...

    I think they eventually forcefully made us rename ISIS to something else. It was an Archer reference that sadly lined up with the islamic state's announcement around the same time. I moved off GIlg to Sargatanas because of a friend/someone on this forum saying there was a guild there, and I...

    I need to get my scholar and ast to cap; I've main'd WHM since ARR release and it basically defines healing for me. I always feel like less of a healer and more of a DPS on Scholar and I dislike in general AST play for some reason (haven't played mine in months tho; no idea if it was reworked...

    It's a MMO with cat and bunny girls; there is a lot of ERP stuff going on in various parts of in game world. On Gilg it used to be the Carline Canopy area (inn in Gridania) where just running through there to get to the airship strip could give you several STDs. It's not really much different...

    Personally I would stick to MSQ story quests only for the most part on your first character. If you run into at some point needing to level to do the next? Do the sidequests in the most recent area until you can progress again. Go back to msq only until you hit the next leveling wall...

    I don't think I've seen Space Hunter, but I've seen Ice Pirates dozens of times. Ice Pirates, Krull, and Beastmaster were like always part of any weekend rental from 1st Run Video or Blockbuster. Along with a couple random NES games. 80s childhood was probably best childhood. It's really a...

    Stardew Valley is one of my favorite games I think ever. MMO stardew? Sure thing. Also: EQ was cartoony as fuck. It was "gritty" because it used bitmaps on polygons and most monsters looked like shit. I mean, you just gotta link pictures of troll or ogre models to get the idea. Remember...

    Aurum sucks. Don't pretend it doesn't hah. It's just a combination of mechanics that sound easy to explain or watch, but aren't as easy while it is going on for newer players. People will loot the fruit super early and then die. Even with visual aides, the upper 40s/early 50s you aren't...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    To be fair, he's given months between notice of a role and when he needs to actually show up on camera. You can do a lot given a couple of months notice, and some pro help. But yeah, no way Kumail got to that point without a little chemical help. Especially since he's never had that kind of...

    Necromunda: Hired Gun

    Necromunda is like the least filled out GW property but also imo the best designed/most fun. It's probably because it's among the cheapest of its properties to get into.
