Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Finnish daily uses shooter videogame to dodge Russia's press restrictions

TLDR: There is a hidden room in a custom counter-strike map where Russian players can read unfiltered war news in Russian.

Edit: PAGED!!


The room

A new post apocalyptic series started up based on a 9/10 book series called Silo (Hugh Howey)

whoof, gearing from scratch is a pretty daunting process.

No ***

Im having problems to make my chars barely acceptable

how have you fared so far in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps?

Guardians 3, it was good but like most of these latest movies it felt like it didn't lead to anything. I guess we are seeing them as standalone features now.

I'm still interested in checking it out. The Guardians of the Galaxy movies have been my favourites from the MCU, and I'm debating on calling them my favourite movies period. At least the first one.

In addition to the armor purchased from Vesca and weapons from Craggy Bluff with Bayld, I found the Skirmish stuff made for easy entry-tier 119-level gear.

After that, the ability to run Ambuscade at varying difficulty levels or joining friends made it easy to acquire major gear. And the Item Level 119 Artifact and Relic is pretty straightforward as well, at least for macroing in for certain effects.

And with that stuff in hand, pretty much everything else should be approachable. I know once I got some Ambuscade and job-specific equipment I was able to slink my way into Omen, Dyna-D, and some Odyssey stuff without difficulty. Haven't beaten SoA yet though so I can't do Vagary or Sortie.

Jessi hasn't finished SoA? :O!?

Well, i resorted to the “easiest” path now…

Got my GEO basic prepped.

Im finishing the skill up.

Gonna lend old char money for the neck+2 as it would last like 8 month before i can make idris.

Gonna equip some skill gear to hit the 900 then i will try to make an ambu VD party.

I would really want to grab all gear/weapons available still this month

Nor Wings of the Goddess...

O.0; Jessi why!?

I finished all the storylines but I am but a simple support job that can't solo anything by myself lol like htb or skirmish and stuff to start working on sets

o.o: say what? You not using Trusts or somethin?

no like i dont have a good dd set on my whm to solo like vd htb and stuff haha

Just scrape through some Easy V2 Ambu till you get Ayanmo vouchers.

Become as gods. Should let you beat some o' them HTBFs on like normal EZ PZ!

I only watched half of this (11 mins wtfffff quality over quantity eh?)

But... I do agree, EXPECIALLY for single player games. MMO's are about immersion, single player games are masturbation and the edging has got to stop!

Yay my effort paid off and managed to get a group for D and we are doing it quite easily.

I guess considering VD is a lot more work for just 50% more reward, and that we are killing pretty quickly, i dont think i need to be greedy as ask for more

Now i feel like i can get my gear before update

Im getting stronger and stronger

bwahahaha

that'll be me one day :')

I still don't necessarily agree with this. I do agree about quality over quantity. And yes, I'd rather play a game where its 6 hours of fun fills out its 6 hours of play-time rather than 6 hours of fun spread out over a 40-hour experience.

However, I've been really rolling my eyes lately at the concept of games being beaten for the sake of beating them. So often now I hear that people just arbitrarily hate long games because "Waah I only have about 5 hours a week to play video games as an adult". A game's length has nothing to do with how much time you can spend on it. What matters is how fun it is.

If you're enjoying yourself, it shouldn't matter what game it is. Whether it's the same game for 100 sessions or 100 games in one session, what matters is the answer to this question: Are you having fun?

The problem with modern video games isn't that they're too long, because the length of games really hasn't changed over the years. The problem is that developers have no idea how to pace their games, but audiences are obsessed with beating them all anyway because of some combination of FOMO and time-sunk fallacy. Video games aren't being enjoyed, they're being consumed. And that's why all these people are coming out and complaining that games are too long.

My long absence from the game was during both the lengthy conclusion of WotG and the entire release of SoA. Now it's a little daunting to get going. I figured I'd focus on other stuff first, like getting adequate gear. And I really do have fun just playing around. It'll happen some day. I'm just occupied with other hobbies at the moment.

Well, i really like the cast of XB3 FR better than the entire trilogy.

Matthew is a nice char. He can keep his high morals without being boring like Rex, for example.

Both Rex and Shulk aged quite nicely.

The kids there while near to no relevant to the plot, gives a nice feeling of home.

Also, i think it made an explicitly reference to Xenosaga universe.

I guess they are really one and same

Wotg isn't bad at all. just did it on 5x characters for at least the 6th time.
SoA though.. fml

WoTG can die in a fire drenched by the heat of a thousand suns for a million life times.

SoA

Finally got time to set them up together and new stand, looking to pose them kind of in their first appearance on the stairs but I like them side by side too.

Today i bought the bagua neck +2.

I think thus not a good cost benefit for idris users, but considering im on my first month of gameplay, thats 8 months of geomancy+2 for this entire time (unless SE add some geomancy +8 gear at some point)

But in theory, this ttem makes my wallmart GEO with enough capabilities for anything short ergon GEOs

Dont mind me. Im just trying to justify spending 40M in a job i leveled like 3 days ago
