    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I get all that, and I am generally having faith that Yoshi will do a decent job tying it all together and this falls more into a pet peeve of mine. Why keep pretending to give me a choice when you actually aren't giving me one. Give me some answer that lets me dissent but move on, "I don't...

    I am not far into the story yet, so maybe something changes but... Am I the only one bothered by how they keep asking me, "Are you serious about doing this, are you serious about supporting Wuk Lamat?" but they never give me the option to say no? I get it, I expect some bushy tailed, naïve...

    Sorry to see Alphinaud go, but after the whole Crystal Braves thing we all knew his days were numbered. Nice of Estinien to put an end to it before it got worse. HIs being there to comfort Alisaie was a nice twist. Speaking of getting worse, please tell me I can join the team against Wuk...

    I get the DA not going after him, but arbitration giving him the remainder of his contract is what makes it more curious. And fucking LOL at him and the tranny pics. That's hilarious. I wonder if he was all down for the cam shows till the dick flopped out. :eek:

    Think something was missed here. I was saying the Cody person who tweeted could be one of the sources Rolling Stone used. After getting a better read, I was wrong and it was an additional source besides Cody, which I stated above. I reread my posts to check, but I never said the Rolling Stone...

    Thanks, and this pretty much what was summed up by the other sites posting their articles. Only real additional news is that apparently this source isn't the one who made the original tweet. The Golden Sparrow and OSIT stuff are really just throw aways to help protect Twitch imo, since OSIT...

    Nah, I was talking about wall bosses. Since some of them appear to have the facing marker and the '90deg left and right' marker on them, I didn't realize they didn't require positionals. This is my bad.
  9. Mao

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It feels like they really need to dump the positionals. I know is a relic of days gone, but each time I see a big boss that is off the side of the arena and only has a frontal hitbox I just sigh inside. Perhaps those bosses are set to specifically ignore the positional mechanics and all, but...

    Ain't shit happening to Rolling Stone. They don't have to be truthful about what happened, only accurate in quoting what the 'anonymous source' as saying. That's the twist of it all. If it turns out Doc is a pedo, yay print more copies. If it turns out Doc is proven /not/ to have done what...

    Yeah. He's cooked, and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone drops him and demonetizes him. He is going to be unpersoned and they are now turning towards those people associated with him, which is rather interesting cause a little more digging into it apparently has all this shit popping up when...

    Twitch.tv

    While he is absolutely cooked in regards to public opinion and his career, this article (headline anyway, fuck if I am paying Rolling Stone, got an archived link?) means absolutely nothing. I took a short Google to look at other sites talking about that article and no new names dropped. Hell...

    Could be absolute complete bullshit, but I am kinda hoping it has some truth cause I'd like to see it all burn in glorious bankrupting lawsuits.

    Oh no. Not anymore. According to the new public software update, any sort of contact with a minor that leads to you and her getting together after she's of age is grooming. Welcome to 2024. Legally? Prolly not yet, but lets not forget the cries of pedophilia and grooming on those rural...

    If you are a streamer, in my opinion you already pretty much start out pretty suspect. The desire to be in front of people vying for their attention constantly puts you in a suspicious group to begin with, on top of that I assume half of what comes out your mouth isn't what you actually think...

    So, I am going to say in his personal life Dr. Disrespect is prolly a real asshole, but lets look at some stuff. Dr. Disrespect has texts with a minor in 2017 via Twitches messenger service. (Where all people are supposed to be 18+. Does he know? Maybe, maybe not, but lets assume he does.)...

    I think they are hurting for money and trying to pull a crowd founding backdoor, even though Steam's Early Access policy says you are not to EA a game that you do not have the finances to finish. They were rather straightforward about the state of the game on their website but I do not feel it...

    I am a little confused by this. There were many games in the past that were popular that you couldn't solo. EQ, UO, hell, many parts of old WoW. What do you mean by solo? I'd argue you can't solo most MMOs these days, however the auto-grouping people for dungeons makes it very 'solo...

    So for whoever is playing, where you all at? Might as well see how this game is with other people in a clan.

    TLDR Its good if you want to support this concept like a Kickstarter, but if you want to play an actual game and not a crafting and building demo, let this one cook. Early Alpha is a good way to describe this. I was thinking this is more a crowd funding attempt than it feels like a solid early...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Not looking to skip things. Just trying to figure out what questline to pick up, since it seems the tower and a bunch of other locations have all been updated to match the current storyline. The game seems to be pushing me towards a 'The Timeline' quest which seems to be an abbreviated cliff...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    So lets say I'm a stupid glutton for pain and heard this game is actually not shit currently. How would you recommend getting back in if I haven't really played since whatever update it was where they introduced the Stasis shit? Is it possible (with purchase of course) to backflag all the old...

    The Covid times were a crap shoot. I know people who got 100% for not sleeping well. I know another guy who they didn't even read half his claim. Normally you either get a rating or get denied for stuff you submit. They didn't even address it. Its like the person only read half the packet...

    I may be just jaded, but I don't take it on good faith that the orders succeed or fail entirely by our efforts. I will do them for the bonus tokens, but I believe they put their finger on the scales. Why not, they seem to adjust everything else to fit their 'vision'. (This isn't entirely...

    So I fired up the old computer and it ran without crashing. Go figure. However, I did notice that every so often there would be a serious stutter and my screen would 'tear' and go white for a split second before going back to the game. My guess is whatever happens at that moment crashes on...

    Hrm. That is nice to see, but I haven't been using any of those and to my knowledge, were not being used during my crashes. Oh well :)

    I figure. Its just really annoying that I can't even see the crash log or data being sent to Sony. The complete lack of ability to trouble shoot on my end is questionable. Left pondering if it is on my side, if they will just look at it and go "lol, not my problem." Anyway. I'm mostly...

    So fuck me if I can figure out what is causing the crash. Like I said. Upgraded to a new computer. Went from a 1070ti to a 4070ti, Windows 10 to 11 (I don't want 11, whine) and now it is iffy if I can complete a mission. All patches and drivers etc current. What makes it more interesting is...

    Anyone else having constant crashes today? Finally got a new computer with a modern video card and I CTD within about 5 minutes of starting a mission. I was thinking it was me and my new setup, but apparently looking at the forums its been a rampant problem since a patch dropped this morning...

    Been doing a lot more bugs even though I enjoy bots, just cause all my dailies and orders are for bug missions. Today is the first day in nearly a week I believe where I've gotten a daily to fight bots.

    Helldivers II

    This seems to fit. Especially the situation when you are at an obj, specifically thinking big bug hole where it starts to go a lil south and you get split up cause of the spawns. Then someone dies and it all snowballs to shit.

    Helldivers II

    Has anyone else noticed wild inconsistencies in difficulty at the same level? I've been trying to decide if I am smoking crack or if it really does seem to be a wide variation. I've done 4s that were easy just to knock out the daily. Then I've had 4s that were a major fucking ass pain with...

    Helldivers II

    Well. Seems difficulty has been toned down some. I am not dealing with quite the levels of stupidity in spawns or AI instantly knowing where I am. So many 'undocumented' changes its tough to know what is going on or if it is just random luck on my part. At this point I think its consistant...

    I start to get the feeling and worry that this game is sliding into the 'You're not playing it right' Dev Mentality and its going to really hurt the game long run if its not avoided. The Devs seem quick to make changes, which isn't bad per se, but the changes seem to be directed at nerfing...

    The bugs (coding ones) and glitches are constant. Its starting to get a little frustrating. Strategem UI not opening properly. Getting stuck in weird animation lock that makes changing weapons or aiming impossible. Had one yesterday where we couldn't get the reinforce to work. Everyone had...

    I understand stragglers spawning breaches and the robots that shoot off the flares. What I am talking about is the game just spawning in patrols out of thin air. I never remember that prior, but since this patch I keep seeing it.

    Helldivers II

    I want to see if anyone else has been noticing this, or if it is just something I am getting wrong... When I started Helldivers I didn't really like it. Bullet hell, constant fights. Then I had a good group who actually avoided patrols, played smart and did objectives without feeling the need...
