    Yeah, running the 2nd dungeon, I realized I need all those mana potions I've been neglecting (playing as healer). I'm actually caught up on all my tradeskills where I can make stuff well above my level though.

    I swear I've posted that one before. I like it because people significantly over-estimate the probability they go broke, while ignoring how much more likely they are to end up dead first. It's a good reality check for people who could retire already that maybe they don't have as many years as...

    I don't generally even look at the town board because those quests are so shit. But I will pick up 3 faction ones to knock out since they're usually kill quests where the others are.

    It's not every time. I ran the first dungeon again because you need to to get the second dungeon key/quest, and didn't get the bug. Ran the second dungeon this evening and got the bug. Was done for the night anyway, but yeah, makes the game significantly more difficult.

    I'd been at the cap for a while, but burned through about 700 somehow porting around today. Even with a nearly empty inventory I've been getting 90-190 azoth cost ports. Been running out of quests to do which doesn't help (level 38, cleared Cutlass, Brightwood, and Weavers completely). I'm...

    I think he's trying to say your success is a product of an irrational bull market where it's hard not to make money. That the gains you're making are not sustainable. You wouldn't be the first person to make a ton of money day trading and think you can consistently make obscene amounts of...

    Every single harvest spawn is static. If you find something in a spot, it's always going to spawn there.

    Gathering I just went west of Windsward and ran around those fields gathering hemp. Herbs are also super fast to level on. The starting areas have good loops for herbs and no one grabs em (they give less XP than hemp, but gather super fast). Mining was harder. But you can do boulders. Your...

    Weavers is awful. Tons of water in a game where water is horrendous to navigate. Coolest place so far was that area in the SE of Brightwood. Going into that cave I was like, holy shit, this game is gorgeous. Also, as far as linking items, it's because sometimes the chat switches on you. I had...

    It's even worse than I thought. Like I said, level 34. The tier 2 stuff has been shit forever. I unlocked the tier 3 faction at level 33, but it requires level 40. So...what the fuck? If it had been level 35 gear it might have worked out well.

    The second tier of them (regular gems). I'm still selling them, but for only like 150 gold now. Have over 50 on the market. Good chance on my server if you bought one, I made it. At almost 16k gold now. Seems like I wasn't fast enough on the next tier up (brilliant earrings). Lots on the market...

    Apparently if you set your quality to "Low" it turns off AA. Then you go back in and set everything to high again. Your setting will be "Custom." When you reload the game, it apparently pulls whatever the quality setting was before you went custom to determine if AA is on. Retarded game design.

    They tweaked something with it. I think they made it more expensive? I've noticed by the time I have enough tokens to buy something, it's already outclassed and/or I'm really close to the next faction tier. So I just skip it and say I'll buy the next tier. But then the same thing happens. So...

    Not on the same server as you all (Kroclyea), but I logged off earlier since there wasn't a queue this morning. Came back and it was 670. Sounds like 2-4 hours depending on that server status page.

    You've gotta wonder when they'll do something with the servers. They've got significantly more people in queues right now than actually in game. I'd say 3/4 of the servers have more than 2k people in queue, with servers capped at 2k.

    Got kicked for inactivity after like 15 min. The queue to get back in seems much more brutal. Moved 7 spots in 10 minutes.

    Geez. Mine was kind of crap (around 70ms), but dropped down to 20-30ms after sitting at the menu a while. Higher than I'd expect, but it should be fine.

    So it looks like Ys is going to be the 3rd most packed NA East server. Good luck with that.

    That was pretty much my worry with buying a new house (or really, any house), and why I wanted to build it myself. It'd take way longer, but at least I'd know things weren't lazily put together. So far we've been going to the house and things look on the up and up. Our inspection is in a week...

    Free Guy (2020)

    I dunno, seems like we still haven't gotten over the hump of all video game movies being pretty cringey. I wanted to like it. And then worse is that as far as realism goes, it also becomes super weird with things like them "hacking" and using god mode, or all the Twitch streamers.

    They're getting pretty skewered for this. Something that should've been obvious to anyone who's ever played an MMO period, but somehow Amazon just didn't plan for it? And it's worse than just character names, as company names are global too. So people are going to be slamming the shit out of...

    It would be dumb. But it's how the betas worked. The fact that Amazon can't get their shit together to address it has me worried. They've done really poorly with managing the community.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Yeah, the price on this is baffling to me. It's a 21 year old game. Diablo 3 is almost a decade old at this point. $40 for updated graphics? Fuck off.

    Yep, just saw the confirmation, names are global. Like I said, this was a stupid fucking decision. Staggering releases is just going to make the first ones that come up get absolutely fucking destroyed. Had they done all regions at the same time this would be avoided.

    I honestly don't know how it works, but I had a bitch of a time finding a name that worked in both betas. Is it all one system? By region? By cluster? By server? Who the fuck knows! Based on my own difficulty though, I feel like it's much bigger than it should be.

    That seems like a shit idea. People are going to slam the shit out of the servers that open first. Also going to fuck anyone hoping to reserve a name that doesn't grab it on the EU server first (and then delete it).

    What If...?

    Except the scene where he tells Jane that it was actually a meteor, was going to explode anyway, and everyone made it safely home. Doesn't help that SHIELD didn't have that information, so their entire motivation was Nick Fury.
