    Are all the tank classes pretty much viable, or is this a WoW-style thing where only gunblades or something can tank in harder content?

    Hmm I don't even remember where my house is lol. What about old weapons/gear, is there a method to break it down for crafting mats or something, or just vendor it?

    So my inventory is finally full, is there anything I need to actually save from all the crap I picked up leveling like tradeskill stuff etc, or can I just vendor all of this?

    I did the updated hard one with that failed adeventuring party that had the healer carrying around the tanks head, that shit was pretty dark lol.

    Yea I've messed around on red mage a little bit, but keep going back to white mage cause the duty finder queues for DPS are too long and I've got like a dozen hard mode dungeons I need to do still heh.

    Hrm interesting, didn't know there was that much of it left to do. The main story XP has really dried up though for some reason? It went from giving like ~40k per quest to...4k? So my leveling has flatlined pretty badly for now aside from duty roulette bonuses.

    Yea I was relying on that for most of my leveling, but it doesn't list anything but the main story currently and hasn't had a white mage quest pop up since I got to 50 I don't think.

    How do I unlock these lily things for white mage? I've had this spell that requires them for like 6 levels now but the trait that says it provides them is locked and I don't see any quests from the white mage hippies?

    Yea I've got like 1800 of these things saved up. Does this currency work for level 60 or 70 armor, or only the level 50 stuff? I'm almost 60 now so not sure if I should save it or spend it on level 50 stuff.

    You get flight after beating the ultima weapon thing. Source: I just did it. Should I bother doing this relic weapon quest? It looks way worse than the weapon I already have?

    Is there a setting someplace to keep my character from turning to face what I cast on? Keeps fucking me up during these dungeon kamikaze runs when I try and toss regen on people that are behind and it turns me around and I start running the wrong way.

    Lol so funny story, I already own property in Chicago, I'll just never live there. Few years ago I bought an empty dirt lot in Englewood for ~5,000$. I will never, ever live there cause I'm the wrong color and don't want to die, but maybe in 30 years they'll want to build an Apple store there or...

    Currently it's the girlfriend. She's a research professor at a university lab here, so her job isn't nearly as mobile as mine. Usually I'd just bail on some random chick I'd been seeing, but this one is actually a keeper I think so it's complicating things badly.

    I don't see how they are anything *but* the bad guys? The entire MCU doesn't really work at all if they just go with the whole "infinitely powerful benevolent overlords that always fix everything the way it was meant to be" lol.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    All the dark souls games are fine and play very well in their various PC versions. Bloodborne on the other hand is a fucking travesty that it never got an updated version capable of 60fps.

    Lost Ark Online

    I really, really want this to be good. PoE needs a competitor, and Lost Ark has the gameplay chops to potentially be one, but fuck me if it's not gonna end the same way Black Desert did with an asinine cash shop that isn't "required" to play the end game but in reality totally is.

    Yea I've got no car note, 0 outstanding debt at all aside from whatever I carry for the month on my main credit card, so I figured I was in a pretty good spot to start amassing cash for a house. I think the reality is just gonna be that most major cities are entirely unlivable as a single...

    Finished the ultima weapon stuff. Too many unskippable cutscenes means I'll probably never do it again, but the bosses seemed sweet. Felt like they were probably pretty hard on release, but now everything dies so fast almost none of the mechanics mattered.

    Yea the more of these I do it seems to vary a ton by tank. They all like blitz through rooms and amass like 3+ trash packs, and then some of them just explode while I'm spamming cure 2 and others I just do random DPS here and there cause they seem to be immortal? And holy christ if you stop...

    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...

    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?

    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.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.
