    Hmm from the FAQ those golems jewels might actually be realistically farmable now, cautiously optimistic about that, one of my big issue with golem builds was the gear gating right at the start of a league which was annoying as fuck, if they made them decently farmable then that'd be a big...

    Path of Exile

    The golem jewel snip is a bit weird, they said they're adding deterministic ways to get them but not vendor recipe. Technically currently there's already a deterministic way to get them, that's farming golem bosses in certain maps for primordial cards. The drop rate is just absolute garbage so...

    JRPGs

    There's a video that explains all the changes in a review and there were quite a lot of changes to make it less shitty than it used to, by reducing the amount of stupid grinding you need for example and adding endgame content and what not.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They added vendors to the main cities too for poetics stuff so it's easier to find them. They have a special icon on the minimap, for example ARR you can buy from the Limsa vendor who's next to the main aetheryte plaza. They changed it along how you buy some of the stuff so it's less confusing...

    I wasn't even aware this "released". Kinda stopped looking at the info years ago as it got stuck in permanent alpha/beta state, but apparently at some point it was deemed appropriate to release, and clearly it wasn't. Luckily I was also done with Kickstarters already at that point, or I just...

    Yeah you do dig a bit to farm ores, but it's not like you go on a full blind exploration. And especially in Calamity when they spawn ores and shit in post moon lord, you're just mindlessly mining down huge parts of the map in a couple of minutes due to endgame pickaxes+all buffs(and that's not...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Actually that's when you get similar gear, but it'll easily carry you until 55 or even all the way to 60. Just equip any better piece you find doing the dungeons during Heavensward because no reason not to, but you don't really farm gear past that while leveling, especially if you're not playing...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Does depend a bit on what you play though. I'm content with 4k60 personally but I rarely ever play anything that'd warrant having more than 60FPS in general. Would be nice to have I guess but I'm not spending 3k to buy a new GFX+new monitor just for that, and I could downgrade to 1440p for...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I do the same, I usually update every now and then, when I'm inbetween games so there's no fuckery with what I'm playing at the moment. Since I don't buy games right when they release that often, having the lastest drivers usually doesn't do much for me.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Pathetic how? It's just the biggest selling games today, not sure what exactly you'd expect? It's the new Call of Duty, the new FIFA, the new Football Manager, Victoria 3(new paradox game) and some new Rally game, New World which is on sale and I assume got a big patch cause they paid a bunch of...

    Path of Exile

    Well streamers will definitely play this even if they hate it cause people will want to watch them suffer. A few people who hate having fun will likely play too because "it's the true way the game should be" and other ego masturbation nonsense will make them feel better about themselves, but...

    Not sure if you mean like a moon cycle or something but a day ingame is a bit more than an hour. You can usually gather the nodes twice per hour(roughly, it's like 70mins so every 35mins). ARR nodes iirc only spawn once per day or used to, so would still be once an hour, but yeah it's not so...

    Final Fantasy 16

    To be fair, like many games that do this, it becomes irrelevant like halfway through, you can just block it permanently with a spell or whatever, but yeah I dislike the mechanic overall. The game itself was ok-ish but nothing great, the whole XIII series was very average stuff besides the art(as...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Doesn't seem very surprising, the full race DLCs always take a while iirc? In TW2 they released Tomb Kings first and even then it still took 4months, and this time they released the chaos stuff first so they probably hadn't been working on Chaos Dwarves in advance that much. To put in...

    I'd assume keyboard might not be that bad but I played with a pad cause that's what I'm used to for this sort of games. Which one is really a matter of preference though.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Emulation's getting pretty good, although this being new and possibly pushing limits means it'll take a while to run even just stable on emulators but being a big title there's likely going to be an effort into optimizing it. Still mostly gonna look like a Switch game but usually you can get...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Oh I meant it's similar to how FFXIV trailers are done, not how FFXIV does the story. The guys transforming into summons is specific to this, it happens a couple of times in XIV but that's not the common ways you encounter them in that. However, it's something they've talked about and shown in...

    Final Fantasy 16

    It felt like too much, but it's very possible this is only like half the game or maybe even less and the game is just frontloaded with a lot of exposition and then goes into an interesting direction. I don't know how much Yoshida has control over the trailers but the XIV trailers will often...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Yeah you could do fancy things, fast races could also kite around waiting for towers to finish shit but overall it was pretty dumb so not gonna miss these defensive battles much. Just autoresolve and move on, I find in TW3 with the low supply lines, defending is usually not an issue at all, just...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I mean this is still the better solution since 80% of the settlement battles were also offensive battles where you're attacking shit, so if you wanna play them it's better this way. Defensively it's likely worse but as long as you aren't getting fucked over that shoudn't happen much. Overall...

    Na Black Hawk wasn't even close, I thought it'd be my upgrade but even with explosive bullets it was very disappointing, the summon I'm referring to are crazy good, they're basically like the flying swords in hard mode from Queen slime, they have stupid speed, fly and once they stick on a target...

    Man Calamity is really fun, the creative guys did a bang up job with all the new music, monsters, bosses, weapon sprites, biomes and all that, it's a really cool adventure and feels a lot like a Terraria 2.0 kind of thing. But the balance guys are your standard fanmade content stuff, it's so...

    I used just spectre rod in my legendary run. Well nimbus+frost hydra+rainbow rod+magnet sphere refreshes with I think deadly sphere summon at that point, but rest was purely spectre rod, it's just very good at this point in the game because you don't need to aim precisely and it keeps piercing...

    There's plenty of cheese strats if you want to bother building them which is fine, it's what makes the game fairly unique. Summoner is definitely the hardest class to play, it's the squishiest but still requires to be somewhat close to enemies and your damage will sometimes decide to not...

    You don't have proper accessories maybe? You want boots obviously for lateral speed, wings for flight(you can get wings as soon as you start hardmode, there's several types, easiest to farm is pixies need 99dusts+20 souls of flight which you get from the wyverns, can farm rare drop instead of...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I think beta specifically has limited weapons, you just don't get much yeah. Talents might be the thing that unlocks at 11? They're all locked at low lvl but don't say what you need to unlock like a level milestone or something, so might be what it is. Played a couple of runs to see, it's...

    Finally done with my run, it's a bit disappointing that a good amount of the later half is way less "new" than the first half. Mech obviously is great but after that planterra is fairly similar to normal mode just harder, golem has the new dark mode thing which just makes it really fucking...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah 6.2 was pretty good, reminded me of some of the FFXI stuff where it just goes pretty wild quickly. Lots of new lore, new characters, new potential story arcs and so on. That said it also ends right in the middle of it, so you could just wait until 6.3 and get probably a more complete...

    It's been worse than the unupgraded tome weapon in the past 2 expansions, too lazy to check HW. Stormblood Anemos was 355 while unupgraded tome was 360, ShB first relic was 485 while unupgraded tome was 490. So I'd expect 5 under. In 6.35, it'll be upgraded to the same ilvl as the upgraded tome...

    They definitely were before, For the Worthy was the only one slightly unique in that it added some new stuff to bosses but the previous version was still fairly minor. The new Don't Dig Up seed changes the game a lot and some of the changes to For The Worthy or the everything seed(not sure which...

    Graveyard is from previous version, it's nice because it has a few specific items, notably the gravedigger's shovel, I made that super early cause it's really good at digging in most of the world. It removes 3x3 blocks if they're soft blocks(mud/ash/dirt/snow kind of stuff), which is the vast...

    Bumping this in case someone's interested but didn't see the news. Last week they updated this game, again. Last update was supposed to be the actual last update, but apparently they still felt like there was room for more. A lot of QoL changes were added, such as the Shimmer which is a special...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Might add more later but also maybe the customization aspect is deeper so it's not as needed. A lot of the subclass changes are fairly minor stuff that could be a talent tree and such.

    Seems like somewhat meh reception from veterans because they massively nerfed tech upgrade stacking. In the old version, each piece of tech could have 3 upgrades in your tech inventory and 3 upgrades in your main inventory, so 6 upgrades total. In the new one they removed the main inventory...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    Even these games aren't like Rogue at all though, they simply have some elements. Rogue, and games inspired by it are a very specific niche of games that very few modern games actually do. Stoneshard and Caves of Qud are 2 good modern examples that are in early access. Once you start calling...

    Isn't the size 90% just heatsinks and fans anyway? Like the PCBs aren't much bigger, they just need to add a PS5 worth of copper and fans to actually make it run without raising the temperature enough to melt thermite. So splitting stuff isn't necessary, what's more likely to happen is them...

    They did yeah but ultra feels definitely like what they use for balancing, it has nice numbers and looks nice, but yeah in settlements and shit going large is probably a lot better, so many siege/settlements you can't even get a square formation into an alley cause it's so fucking tight.
