    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Ah, you just hit the most boring part of FF14. The post-ARR section, gets better toward the end, but it's a bit of a drag for the most part. Don't despair, and keep up...it'll get better. :)

    I'm level 80, and fairly casual both in time spent playing and playstyle. I put maybe 20-25 hours a week in the game, and I enjoy most aspect of the game, gathering, crafting, housing, beast tribes, golden saucer, duty roulette, leveling other jobs etc... And I'm still overwhelmed at 80 with...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I have no clue how much it cost in game to insure a ship, but my guess nobody will ever fly a ship without having insurance. Especially if you bought it for real life cash.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Insurance means your ship gets replaced if destroyed or stolen. Insurance can be purchased in game with in game currency. If it runs out or you don't have any and your ship is destroyed or stolen then you're fucked and need to buy a new one. :)

    Such a weird coincidence. A month or so ago, I hit 20M Gil for the first time and found a medium house available the same day. Saturday my friend hit 20M Gil for the first time too(with my help) and yesterday he found a medium house also. This are the only 2 medium house we’ve seen for sale...

    I finally finished crafting all the sub-combines necessary for the Airship. It's a lot of stuff to craft by just 1 person. I used Quick Synthesis for everything, but that still took time. So I go to the guild workshop and start the process, and I hit my first issue. Turns in for the material...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I agree that this is a lot of posturing for both sides, and it's beneficial for both to work something out. I think it will end up with something with Sony giving Marvel a bigger share of the profits in exchange for the ability to use Spider-man in their universe. Most likely with a script...

    There's a lot of complaining about the long queue times for the DPS role. It occurred to me last night that the problem might be compounded by players like me that usually flex to tank and support where I have most of my playtime that are now queueing a lot on DPS even with the long queues. I...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    If Sony takes Spider-man out of the MCU, I hope it crash and burn and they end up selling what would then be an almost worthless IP back to Disney. Disney can afford to not have Spider-man, they have a solid roster even without him. They can introduce many more characters, and eventually the...

    Marvel's Avengers

    One of my biggest issue with this game is that they are clearly basing their visual aesthetics on the movie version of the characters, but with none of the movie's actor. It has B movie feel, tt feels rather disconcerting, I feel they would have been better served with going with visual...

    Death Stranding

    The big question for me is can we run? Or is it just walking. I don't think a walking game is enough, but if we can run too then that completely different. Add jumping and crawling and I'm all in.

    I was well on my way to make my first airship after 2 days of gathering and making all the sub-combines, only to run out of crystals/shards. I never pay attention to those when I plan my crafting. I planted 8 in my garden and 8 in my FC garden, so should have 1600 tonight, so it's not too bad...

    I finally managed to purchase a small house for my FC. It took a while, I saw houses for sale all the time, but they were not ready for purchase yet, and I never bothered to wait for one to become available, timer being 1 to 24 hours, I don't have that amount of time to waste. This morning found...

    I think you made a typo and accidentally hit the "i" and "k" keys while typing Yes. :) @Ravishing, Mei and Reaper are my two most played DPS by far, probably easily doubling the next ones. I enjoy Mei's play style the most, you're right about walling Rein from his team, one of the most fun...

    I still have plenty to also, basically taking it easy too since there zero other options out there. :) I re-subbed about 3 months before Shadowbringers, and we're a month and half into it. I think this is the longest I've been subbed to a MMO since Mist of Panderia which was around 9 months. I...

    Overwatch

    The most annoying aspect right now in gold at least, is the double barrier meta, tons of games with Sigma+Orissa or Sigma+Reinhardt which means you spend the majority of your time as a DPS shooting at barriers, not the most fun gameplay. It's also leading to sustainability that might be worse...

    Ewan as Obi-wan was one of the best thing to come out of the prequels in my opinion. I always enjoy him as an actor anyways, so I'm sorta excited by this.

    While I still hope this comes out in NA, the hype has died down, and I'm not sure we'll get it at this point. Although if they were to announce a NA date, I'd probably get hyped again.

    I finished my placements on all 3 Roles, they are all within 50 points on each other. Last night was awesome, I was 4-3 but all games were great. A game on Junkertown on defense, near the point A. It was me as Moira and Sigma, stalling in a 2 vs 5 for like 30 secs while our team came back, and...

    While I had a great time with 2-2-2 on the PTR. Last night was a mixed experience on live. I had a lot of bad games. I realize later on because one person actually mentioned he is a DPS main but was doing his support and tank placement matches. So I think the next few days might be a bit bad...

    I raided since Lady Vox and Nagafen in EQ1, and through most of WoW up to Naxx. It wasn't the difficulty of the content that turned me away from raid leading, it was all the crap that came with it...to be succinct it was the people and their drama. :) As I got older, I got less tolerant of the...

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

    I saw that last night. It was pretty good. As people say, the monster parts are good, the human parts not so much. They are establishing some interesting lore though. I hate the cliche story of I'll destroy the world to make it a better place though.

    I burned out of raid leading during Naxxramas in Wrath of the Lich King. I did some raiding in Mist of Panderia, but mostly haven't raided in any serious manner since then. I'm filthy casual now, it was either that or totally burn out of MMO. I'm older now, and simply don't have the patience...

    You can have 2 flowerpots in your apartment to do gardening compare to 8 in a garden. So you won't be getting that many shards each day. While not needed for shards, you also cannot crossbreed with flowerpots.

    Overwatch

    I think I played more 2-2-2 on the PTR than I played games in each of last 4-5 seasons. It has renewed my interest in the game, and made it fun again. It's not a magic change that fixes everything but for me it fixes the fundamental issues I had with the game in the last few seasons. So having...

    Finished this last night. That was a fun ride. I thought it was a fairly well written with an excellent cast of characters, most of which were interesting, and all of which were well cast and played. Homelander stole the show for me, the actor's ability to switch between his nice public...

I was wondering how good it would be on a rewatch, or multiple rewatch over the years. I thought the middle section would...
