    Oxygen Not Included

    One of my favourite all time games, can't recommend enough to anyone who has any interest in this genre.

    Do this as a tank and don't tell people about the tank buster. Good for a laugh once!

    I enjoyed doing castrum and delubrum as they are fun raids and you don't have to do it all that many times. It's actually easier to do them with small groups as the less people there are the stronger each player is. With 10 or less people castrum is trivial as you take no damage from anything...

    Anime weapon is mostly just poetics so you can work on it on the side while doing other things. Resistance weapon has some large grinds required to unlock but once you do one weapon it's pretty fast to complete it for other jobs. I'm not really familiar with the zodiac or eureka weapon...

    I'm so happy about the new/upgraded GNB ability this xpac.. I've done around 3 dungeon bosses so far without a healer because ours died in the first half of the fight.. keep myself and even others alive with the 2 heals I've got now. Even soloed the first trial boss for around 1.5 minutes just...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    D3 at launch was a clusterfuck of balance problems, RMAH, actively discouraged grouping, brutal scaling at highest difficulty. They fixed all of that and it turned into a decent game. Still could be better since the way it's itemized is dumb as fuck but the basic gameplay itself is extremely...

    If they allowed global cross server then it would work. Japan DC half the servers are empty, even at the peak of JP prime time there's 0 queue on most servers. I've been using the above feature every day since I'm on one of the few that has huge queues (Tonberry).

    Gifts for people that have everything.

    For those kinds of people I buy booze like obscure Japanese whiskey, ornaments like gargoyles or pink flamingos for the garden, gift voucher for out there a activities like sky diving, or other weird shit like adult onesies that just make me laugh.

    I think when you choose 'visit another world server' it just picks one with a low pop automatically, you can't choose which one to guest on.

    Cowboy Bebop

    Dunno about that, the ep where Faye joins the crew (around ep 4 from memory) she spends the whole episode with her tits hanging out of a formal dress, that was pretty good imo.

    Yeah I'm on the Japan DC, my main server is Tonberry. It has ridiculous queues like you all are talking about in the US DC (5-8k), but most of the other Japan servers have no queue.

    Most of the Japan DC servers have no queue so I just guest on one of those. I'll return to my main server once the queue on it dies down in a weeks time or whenever.

    Red Notice

    Paint by numbers really does describe this movie. It was watchable though and definitely much more coherent and watchable than the last Netflix Ryan Reynolds movie I tried to watch which I absolutely hated and couldn't finish (6 underground).

    Cowboy Bebop

    I'm about 7 episodes in so far. I'm enjoying it, its like a not as charming version of firefly. So much so that I thought maybe firefly was directly inspired by the original cowboy bebop. Googled if that was the case, apparently Whedon has never commented on it but there are heaps of mad firefly...

    I had 8000 in queue, hardly moved after 15 minutes, then queue crashed. Now it gives errors and won't let me queue.. This is on Elemental Data Center. Think I'll try again tomorrow, I can wait!

    Sage indeed looks really strong. Their resource stacks 50% faster than WHM (1 every 20sec instead of 1 every 30 for WHM) and their consumers are basically identical to afflatus but with extra effects. They have more variety in consumers as well (ae regen for example). Nuke is higher potency and...

    I don't think it was mentioned, just that it took 50 years to set up the Foundation before the 1st crisis arose.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Use magic and hit the vulnerabilities. You will stagger and kill bosses fast. I found hard mode to mostly be around the same difficulty as normal because I had a much better understanding of the game/combat system and my characters were all max level with max materia specialized to smash each...

    Stellaris

    I got all of the DLC (steam keys) from wingamestore, they are perpetually on sale there.

    Doubtful. Celebrities, the wealthy, etc don't have to follow the same rule as the peasantry.

    Stellaris

    Stellaris is really healthy right now and it's one of the best 4X games around. I think quite a lot of the DLC is worthwhile if you enjoy the game.

    Need child math assistance

    I don't think watching two screens at once is a very good idea. It noticably impaired my sons ability to focus/pay attention to anything back when I was allowing it.

    This show was ultimately quite boring.. A little disappointing, although I never expected too much given how hard I believe it is to translate this novel series onto the screen.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    This is a great one despite the fact that Joe is really out of his depth with these guys. I cringed a bunch of times at the stupid shit he was saying to them but it was still a wonderful and enlightening episode.

    Delubrum is next which is even more punishing. I feel like I cast 20 revives on the hot/cold boss alone in my run earlier today.

    Skyrim

    Updated, expected an absolute shitshow trying to get it running again with the 50-60 mods I have installed. Was surprisingly easy.. Installed the new SKSE which is already available, and then had to remove the mod "(Part 1) Engine Fixes" which the authors seem to say is not going to be updated...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I think 1572 (Moxie Marlinspike) is my favourite of the last 2 years but 1728 is definitely a top shelf one. Very entertaining from start to finish.

    It's not necessarily that they've watched squid games. Kids games such as roblox as well as youtube/tiktok channels aimed at kids are overrun with squid games themed stuff especially the red light/green light game. My son definitely hasn't seen squid games but he knows all about red light/green...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Heavenward was great for this. My favourite is Nidhogg extreme. That is one fight where you really feel like he is throwing everything including the kitchen sink at you. His transition/ultimate is the best looking and sounding ultimate I've seen in the game so far. I liked it so much I duty...

    She must have thought she would come off looking good in the ensuing media storm that she must have known was coming when she started venting about this.

    The music in this game is pretty damn good. I was enjoying the Rak'tika zone song so much I was getting super annoyed by my mount music turning it off. So much so I tried to research a mount that doesn't have music and couldn't find one.. then I thought maybe there is a way to disable mount...

    Dune (2020)

    Excellent movie, very Villeneuve. Wonderful visuals, managed to tell the story at a pretty fast pace while still being easy to follow. I can easily believe there is a 6 hour cut out there. Cast was all solid and from memory it seemed extremely faithful to the book. Looking forward to part 2...

    I liked the part where they broke the sign off, and then started screaming that he brought a weapon because he was now holding a jagged stick. Well played!

    I have recently party findered all of the ARR, Heavensward and Stormblood 8 and 24 man raids and the only one which wasn't extremely pushover easy was Twintania (Bahamuts Coil Turn 5). Most of the ARR and HW ones are pretty dull but the Omega fights are almost all a lot of fun and Ivalice has...

    I don't bother replacing my equipment with levelling dungeon stuff, I turn all of that into GC seals. When I came back a few months ago having left during ARR, I have used poetic equipment for the whole tier until I could get the new tier poetic gear. Right now my main jobs are all 80 wearing...

    Wall encountered. With full white scrip crafting gear you can easily make Aesthete's and their components with about 90% HQ rate just using macros. Probably 100% if you manual but I CBF. But to craft Exarchic you don't have enough control, so I am working on an Aesthete's set. I'm not willing to...
