    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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...

    The show is not really representing the books. I would say 90% of the subplots and even some of the main characters are made up for the show. The only connection to the books are the names of some of the characters, and the main setting / overarching plot (foundation, empire, psychohistory etc)...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I guess I will figure that out soon! I have full white scrip gear on my harvesters, it's enough to get +2 pick clean on normal l60 harvestables, max collectability on l60 harvestables in 2.5 swings. Only +1 pick clean on dolomite etc, so there is some value on trying to max out the gear I...

    I finally got all of my DOH/L classes to 80, started looking at crafting high end gear for them... and it seems pointless? The white scrip equipment is better than crafted and requires less scrips! I guess crafted gear is only relevant earlier in the xpac before they patched in the high tier...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I don't even remember what classes I played for poe1/2. Seconding the recommendation for Tyranny, that game was a lot of fun even though it was clearly incomplete.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Ignoring DOS1/2 since I haven't played those, I'd recommend POE1 then 2. They are both really good, whereas Tides of Numenara is a bit of a mess. I've tried re-playing some of the older ones in the last few years and it's fairly hard going.

    Dave Chappelle

    That space jews line went down like a ton of bricks.. Dave seemed surprised at the audience reaction.. That in itself was funny to me. The whole special was excellent, Dave is a very insightful comedian. Love that he added some clunkers into this special too which is a little unusual for him...

    Looks like most of the tanks got a l90 off GCD ae. For GNB which is the only tank I play, minimal changes.. Looks like they've stacked the cartridge spending combo into one skill so instead of pressing 123 for the combo you just press 111, same way continuation works. Also added a continuation...

    The Guilty (2021)

    This is pretty intense and Gyllenhaal did a good job portraying a guy who's not coping with life. Haven't seen the original.

    You either haven't watched any TV in the last decade, or you don't know what the word expect means, if you expect a show in 2021 to have an all male cast.

    I think you have to expect gender swapping in a TV adaptation in this day and age. It's been a few decades since I read it but as far as I recall all of the main characters in the novels are male. Gaal was also male in the book.

    The Rookie

    I watched all of S3, but it wasn't easy. The whole season is fairly miserable compared to s1-2.. Just un fun.. Way way too much 'cops are bad' shit. There are some interesting storylines in there like the la fiera stuff but over all, I don't think I'll watch s4.. Although maybe it will be better...

    We travelled extensively when my son was that small and never did any special arrangements for his sleeping. He'd sleep with us, or on a second bed in hotel rooms, or on whatever spare mattress/pullout bed the hotels had available. I'm of the opinion that trying to keep little kids environment...

    KOTOR Reboot

    Being unfinished and buggy messes are pretty much a signature of games by obsidian and their predecessor black isle. Think fallout 1/2, two of the most loved games ever. Both were impossible to finish for most players due to how buggy they were. More recently Tyranny, a great game even though...

    KOTOR Reboot

    Well KOTOR2 wasn't made by bioware it was made by Obsidian who are still making pretty good games to this day. I'm not making any comment about how good a remake might be but Bioware outsourcing it is probably good news. Since the company that's doing it 'Aspyr' was somehow involved in the...

    KOTOR Reboot

    KOTOR and KOTOR2 were both very good games. I played KOTOR2 with the content restored mod a couple of years ago, it was still a great experience despite the dated gameplay. It's hard to pick a best SW game for me since there's very good ones in very different genres.

    The first half of the post ARR stuff is somewhat filler but it is also laying groundwork for one of the main story arcs moving forwards.

    Black Mage was originally my main but I got sick of how bad it was for instanced content when you are still learning mechanics. Some fights felt like I spent half the time just running around casting Scathe. It's an awesome class for soloing outdoor stuff though. I've switched to...

    Had a look at PF last night at peak JP time. For trials there was a Sephirot EX with 1/8, a Ramuh EX half full and then heaps that I don't have access to (SHB/SB). Looks like PF isn't used that much at least for lower level stuff on JP. Can easily get DF pops for all L50 Extremes and...

    I'm on JP. L50 and some L60 extremes pop on duty finder without any trouble.. For example I can get nidhogg's rage easily even though that's a clusterfuck, never gotten a kill yet. I'll have a look at the party finder later on and see if i can get some containment bay groups that way.

    The fact that all content is till used even by max level players is great but I still find some instances are very difficult to get a pop in. I have yet to get any of the containment bay extremes to pop, queueing 1.5 hours at a time.. But if I want extreme ifrit instant, pops! Working my way...

    Huge western game companies seem to all fall into this pit when they get big/successful. You can really see the difference with smaller ones. If I pick one of my pet loves at the moment, KLEI, they reliably put out new content for their games regularly, monthly for their more popular titles...

    I read in a wiki that the crystal tower quest series is now required for completion of the ARR MSQ at one of the last steps just before you get to heavensward. Is that true? Seems like quite the obstacle to have to do 3x24 person raids to move to the xpac.
