    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Alright what am I doing wrong on white mage. The level 50+ duty finder stuff I'm finding it impossible to keep tanks alive during like, trash pulls? Bosses seem relatively fine, just a lot of group healing for most of them. But trash is like so much incoming damage on tanks that it's like...

    Unlocked samurai, equipped the sword, didn't even have enough hotbars configured to hold all their buttons. Deleted my samurai sword.

    There any particular reason to join a free company, like one of these random shitter ones that are always shouting in town?

    So I made it to 50 now, better to just push through more of the main story and get to 80 first, or should I go run around unlocking everything else?

    Home Improvement

    Yea Illinois is 100% unlivable if you plan on owning anything, it's fucking insanity. I'm here cause of work currently and for renting it isn't bad, but I have legit no idea how anyone affords to own anything when their tax bill is the same as their fucking mortgage.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Which year, how much did you pay? I'm currently looking for a new car as my current is an '08 that needs ~2k worth of work to be reliable again and fuck that. WRX was on my immediate shortlist cause no one makes manual gearboxes anymore. I've always bought used by the market looks fucking...

    Sounds like all of It. Like 20% of the workforce actually knows what they are doing, everyone else is just clicking buttons and following a script built by someone smarter than them. Probably myself included.

    This is a bit off-top, but didn't really feel worth it's own thread so fuck it: How the fuck do people buy houses? Is it just the power of dual spousal income? Or is everyone living way the fuck out in nowhereville because every major city is unlivable due to housing prices? I've gotten myself...

    Is there a particular graphic option that is making my GPU work like crazy? Never have any frame issues, but never heard my GPU sound like such a rocket ship either.

    I rolled on gilgamesh again cause that's what I remember being on back during launch. I get a queue for about ~30s every time I log on is about it? So far the game is basically just going through the motions. I think my chance of dying/failing any particular thing is basically 0? All the...

    I did roll my eyes pretty hard when I clicked on the girl version of the dragon people during character creation. BUT SHE'S ACTUALLY A 5,000 YEAR OLD DRAGON SO IT'S OKAY SHE HAS THE BODY OF A 12 YEAR OLD. ALSO THERE'S HORNS.

    How do jobs and classes work now? Is all the sub-job stuff gone and I just go like conjurer in to white mage forever now? Does my conjurer level just keep leveling along now if I'm a white mage?

    So how's the leveling process now after their storyline quest squash or whatever it was? I see the whole big pack of expansions is on sale for like 25$ so considering giving this another run finally like 5 years later. There a particular server that is more active for NA, or does it not matter...

    Let's be real here, Loki has been changing in to chicks/snakes/horses/whateverthefuckhewants and fucking things in those forms for several thousand years now, so this shouldn't be surprising.

    Control

    So am I actually supposed to hear the director or the board talking? Cause I'm getting all kinds of random disjointed subtitles for dialogue that isn't actually in the game, and I can't tell if this game is just trying to be a non-Euclidean mess, or it's just actually broken. Like the main chick...

    Path of Exile

    Yea it's definitely ridiculous. I find it kind of amusing in its own way, but really what it does more than anything else is highlight just how stark the difference is between the top like 1-4 skills and all the rest.

    Path of Exile

    This doesn't have the multiple projectiles this time, instead if has +70% AOE. Weaver will be way less scary. Brutus on the other hand is pretty ridiculous lol. His spikes are like most of the arena.

    Path of Exile

    Yea I don't have near the play time to compete for any of the top slots, it's more for just the challenge. Maybe I make it to 90 and win some random giveaway, but that's not really the point.

    Path of Exile

    Yea I'm not planning on playing melee heh. Just need a marauder to survive long enough to get holy flame totem and eventually armageddon brand. You legit cannot use a 2h as a marauder in act1 though lol. Attack speed on every skill is too slow and you'll hit get/stunned and die before you...

    Path of Exile

    Alright figured out how to kite hillock with a marauder. It's actually disgustingly hard lol. Attack speed on heavy strike is so slow and if hillock hits you he can oneshot you with a crit + ignite. Now on to trying to survive the rhoas in mud flats cause you don't have holy flame totem yet...

    Path of Exile

    Just a private league with all the upcoming gauntlet mods enabled. Never done one of these so wanted to get a taste for just how impossible it's gonna be.

    Path of Exile

    Joined a gauntlet practice league. So far the only classes I can kill hillock on are duelist and ranger lol, so that narrows down my build choices a bit I guess.

    Desktop Computers

    Whatever you tried to embed from Amazon didn't work. I have a pair of 27" 1440 IPS monitors already. Nothing is wrong with either of them, the plan was to get the ultrawide and move the two 27" to vertical and use them mainly for productivity, with the ultrawide center for game stuff. The mega...

    Path of Exile

    Gauntlet just being an official in-client league is pretty sick, will probably give it a try this time around. I wonder if the feared is even possible with AE mod lol. Or uber atziri?

    Desktop Computers

    Yep that's the exact problem I've having with it already. Apparently this is just a thing with VA panels? Puts me in kind of a weird spot cause my two main games (PoE and Tarkov) both benefit massively using the ultrawide resolution, but also both look absolutely shit if there's motion...

    So which 3440x1440 monitor doesn't suck these days? Price is no real object. I just bought an Asus VG34VQL1B kind of on a whim and I'm gonna have to just return it tomorrow. The motion blur is fucking unreal and Path of Exile is basically unplayable, so either this monitor is just broken or...

    Wrath of Man (2021)

    This movie fucks bigly. Much darker in tone than his usual movies, basically none of the snark. Kind of a mix between John Wick and uh, Heat I guess? The revenge plot was fine, but the way more interesting bits were all the flashbacks of the boys taking care of business trying to find the guy.

    Isn't some level of management kind of inevitable though? Like how long can we realistically be "in the trenches" so to speak? I've been in this game for 15 years now and have worked my way from literal Geek Squad to some nonsensical title at my current job (I think it's cloud infrastructure...

    At that point it might be worth looking in to full denture replacement, no joke. I've got a couple friends around your age that have had it done due to years of teeth neglect and it was many times cheaper than trying to salvage what was left of the their original teeth, they look perfect...

    Upheval may see some use in blue tron. Mirari's wake isn't even close. Tog is sadly powercreeped out of relevance these days. He's 3 mana and just doesn't do anything that special anymore.
