    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Plain plain, or plain with salt? Cause salt is more than enough for me, I don't like dipping into sauces or whatever, but no salt is just kinda weird.

    I wonder if for that one they'll bother letting you turn it in for another item with speed, or if they'll just say fuck it you can have 150gil for it instead.

    Well one of each and you have enough, it just gets messy if you're keeping multiple weapons for whatever reason(I have a few duplicate cause it's stuff I can desynth yet or whatever but otherwise it shouldn't be an issue, you just throw away the previous weapon when you upgrade, since only one...

    No ultimate in 5.5 sucks, I was looking forward to the twitch streams(I had no interest in doing ultimate myself but it's fun watching people do it).

    I don't think him directly would destroy it, and more instead we get Tempered/whatever Hydaelin has done to us, and we now have both powers and can fight the threat. Emet shows up, smiles knowingly and walks into the sunset again doing his little wave thing. For healers I just hope they add DPS...

    I think an interesting twist would be that we're going to the Moon so we can free Zodiark ourselves, to fight against the End of the World, like the Ascians did back then. This might or might not backfire. And yeah I do expect that specific area to be filled with 4 references, and possibly...

    I don't necessarily think 4 will be the focus, hell they've shown Anima already and that's 10. I think they're just doing all the 4 stuff because they decided we were going to the Moon(which they've teased for a while) and obviously if you think about going to the Moon, you think about 4, but...

    Corsair was a melee class first in XI, they only had a few pistol skills, which somewhat made sense if you think of a Pistol being annoying to reload and such, so you wouldn't be constantly firing it(and if you were, you'd just use 2 pistols, no need for a scimitar/saber melee weapon). Somewhat...

    I don't think they specifically said Zenos would be the new melee class, he could be anything? Corsair does make sense with Thavnair being a focus and works well with the shirt. Someone on reddit made a more complicated relation, with the director of the movie being named Julien Temple(remember...

    Ended up waking up early anyway, new class looks cool but wished they showed a bit more like class mechanics(other than "can power itself up" which fucking means jackshit, every healer can do that with wings/super fairy/neutral). Interesting to see how it competes against SCH, in a way I'd...

    Few hours to the reveal of the new expansion, very hyped. Although I'll be sleeping when it airs, can't be bothered watching it live, I'll just watch the vod when I wake up a few hours later. Been holding off on tomes and stuff to figure out what I should raid with, think I'm gonna go for savage...

    Total War: Warhammer

    While there's gonna be overlap in units due to the nature of the faction, I think they'll do them separate. There might be a campaign where you unite them(might be the main campaign theme for example) but I'm not sure they'd just release as one faction. Could be though if there's enough variety...

    They're definitely using the relic stuff to populate HW areas, but at the same time it isn't much different than usual relic bullshit grinding, and at least the first couple of steps you can grind in Bozjan decently. Current step is shit in Bozjan(or outright doesn't exist). That said in terms...

    Oh yeah original chaos warrior DLC is pretty rinky dinky shit, it's not at all what the "real" Chaos is. It's gonna have big demons and smaller demons and casters doing more demon shit, not half naked men and mangy dogs. While I don't know what kind of army mechanics they'll have, I expect...

    Total War: Warhammer

    From the announcement there will be 6 playable factions, each of the Chaos ones + Kislev and Canthay on the "good guys" side. There will also be a preorder faction that'll be released at the same time(can get the preorder bonus up to 1 week AFTER launch, so you can wait to see people's...

    Yeah it is Gogo, he's part of the BLU storyline. Which, admitedly, is complete shit and basically the same as the previous one. The actual BLU content is really light this patch(only one carnivale fight and the story is meh with only one fight in it, which is the carnival fight) but the spells...

    Yeah just like the other steps, it's generally much better outside, although for the other 2 steps you could farm memories at a decent pace inside IF you made a cluster party(the droprate from fates was absolute ass, I didn't even get 20/20/20 farming from 1 to 15). Sucks you can't queue with...

    Yeah kinda needed Kislev for the expansion, made sense for them to do it after what they did with Pirates too.

    These look nice, I'll look into it later this year I guess when supply isn't complete dogshit, wonder how much noise they make in practice since they're still using fans and not purely water cooled(which is kinda weird, if you're gonna put water cooling in there shouldn't it just be entirely...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    There's no AIO GFX afaik, there's like pre installed cooling blocks GFX but you'd still need to mount the pump and do all the tubing. Still way less annoying since removing the fans on a GFX is both a pain in the ass and stressful as fuck when the card's worth 1k+ but quite annoying. I just...

    Haven't had a cd drive(or well dvd drive) for the past, I don't know, 15 or 20years? If anything having one is 90s knowledge. Rest I could see being a problem but it depends on the use, 8gb ram if you're not playing modern games will do the job, and 250gb if you're not torrenting shit or playing...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Reddit has a decent post that explains what is "likely" to go on. One new teaser trailer every week for the 8 winds of magic, which then somewhat coincide with the teaser they did in the last website update with the Chaos emblem and the 321 filename(march 21st), being 2 days prior. Was also...

    They're supposedly down like 70b now or some shit. The whole thing shows how fucked the whole stock trading system is though, these fucks via various "legal" loopholes managed to short 140% of the entire gamestop stocks. As in, more than even exist. They were also trying to influence people...

    Yeah now I'd probably drop them more on the edge or get ready to surecast(but if he towers twice on the purple poop that's gonna be a death again so eh). Sucks cause it was a dead instance, was the only one who had access, when usually it's like 1/15 chance to get it. Almost had to lose 15k...

    Last level is 280k btw, not ~150k like I expected, that's an even bigger jump. FATEs give like 4-5k average, so that's about 70 of them give or take a few for the CEs you clear(but any death is -1500), which is still a substantial amount of time if you count 2-3mins per FATE. I fucking failed...

    It's just boring as fuck I think, it's not longer than Eureka, not anywhere close, but doing the same shit the whole way feels terrible. The 12+ definitely slows down, needed 90k I think for 13, then 110k for 14 and I assume around 130-140k for 15, and you get like ~2-3k per fate(well it scales...

    Yeah don't know exactly why it's like this, they might have more stuff in 5.5 hard to say. Bozjan grind fucking sucks though, I'm catching up slowly but the 12+ mettle reqs are fucking stupid, takes way too long to rank up, which I guess is more in line with what they did with Eureka but it's...

    The new BA is next week, there should be a step after but it's unclear what it'll be and it'll be announced in the live letter(the one after the expansion announcement). I guess having the new BA stuff earlier is better so people can do it for a longer period of time and stuff, and they might...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Na even when they have fanfests, they also have live letters after that talking about the expansion more in details. Which usually is in may. It is unclear if that may will be similar or if it's just gonna emulate a "second" fanfest instead in terms of content. Basically, the feb5th event would...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Windows updates take fucking forever to install nowadays for whatever reason? I guess cause they're trying to do background installs and shit, but like I ran into some PC issues so first thing I figured I'd upgrade Nvidia and Windows shit since I always delay it by several months until such an...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Interestingly, they're running a Live Letter a few hours after the expansion reveal to talk about 5.5(and maybe a bit about 5.45). Expansion stream is at 5:30PM PST, Liveletter is at 10PM PST.

    Well everyone uses potions, and they've had chemist stuff for a while with Black Rose experiments and so on. It's also not very different than Alchemist, just a more combat medic oriented style. But they have a lot of this, for example Pirates/Merlwyb have been using 1h guns for a while and...

    Geomancer could also be healer mind you. In XI they were healers, and they'd mirror AST as the "support healer" since they had ground buffs shit like WoW's shaman totems. Or it could be something entirely different, there's a lot of things they could go with if they wanted to, doesn't have to be...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well to be fair they could just upgrade to existing classes too. Like Alisae could become a summoner, she has a certain affinity with some of the summons after all. Alphinaud could be promoted to White Mage or something. And it might just be filler stuff/translated stuff. That said the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Since they're stacking all the fanfests into this, I'd expect both class reveals, assuming they go 2 classes like usual. Should have a lot of info, expect it to last ~2hours with a break or something. They'll probably announce 5.45 date too while at it, can't wait for BLU update.

    Black Desert

    The game that might turn out good(or not) is Dungeon Fighter 2, or 3D or whatever they're calling it, but it's not coming out soon in Korea, so probably not for a very long time in the west. The combat looks more similar to Blade and Soul(less big skills, more emphasis on juggling/combos etc)...

    Path of Exile

    Yes "more" is always better. One way to think about it is more gives you the listed percentage to all your damage, but increased only gives you the % to the base damage, which is not your whole damage(unless you have absolutely no other base damage modifiers, or increased, then it's your whole...

    Path of Exile

    More is multiplicative, increased is additive. More is always going to yield 15% more dmg, while increased would be relative to your already existing amount of cold dmg(if you have +100%, adding 15% actually increases your overall dmg by 7.5%)

    Path of Exile

    Yeah nvm I misread some of the patch notes/gem description shit anyway, I read firestorm 100% more area of effect as 100% more damage for area of effect and thought the part about the change to hits and ailments was on that, so I thought it was 250% more damage and then another 100% more damage...
