Looks like something the Deacons of the Deep would be protecting right next to the massive empty tomb.

stay out of Limsa.

FFXIV is an MMO where there’s a strong community OUTSIDE of the provided content. Get into a queue for your dailies and you’ll be waiting awhile (will change in a few days thank god) but if you’re down with talking to people, going to “club nights”, etc there’s plenty to offer for that. If you’re looking for an active FC that actually runs the content provided in the game? good luck.

WoW these days you can pretty much get through the game and into endgame stuff without being in a guild. It’ll be more tough if you’re looking to run mythics/heroics but if you honestly don’t care about running heroic/mythic raids/dungeons then you 100% never need to talk to anyone.

then you have games like EVE Online where it’s pretty much essential you get yourself into a corp/alliance or a solid Discord group. Sure you can solo but doing so makes an already tough game insanely harder or you’ve regulated yourself to the relative safety of empire space. Faction Warfare is a great noob friendly starting point to dip your toes into corps/alliances and the politics/meta involved with that stuff. But in many cases joining a corp/alliance in EVE is like applying for a job. background checks, interviews, mandatory monthly meetings and call to arms/operations, etc. EVE is like working on Wall Street but you don’t get paid.

FFXIV is another one you really don’t need to join a Free Company. And chances are if you do join one most of them aren’t running the content anyways, you’re just joining to talk and hang out.

his tweet was…wow. admits to sexting a minor, says he’s not a pedophile and hates pedophiles, says he’s gonna take a break and then come back similar to the time he admitted to cheating on his wife (likely with a minor at this point).

The timeline of events is wild too. He says he was sexting with the kid in 2017, the same year he admitted on stream he cheated on his wife. But he got banned in 2020…yeah because if you read the bloomberg article you’d see it wasn’t until then that it was reported to twitch by either the victim, their family or someone close to them that it happened. proof in the pudding? literally two days prior to the ban Twitch released a statement about how it was investigating and cracking down on streamers who were discovered to be sexting minors on the platform. two days AFTER that statement doc gets banned (Ludwigs most recent video here: youtu.be/lMRu0jqQssw?si=QopJRTpxAUrICRIa&t=503 goes into detail)

Nah man this is it for you bud. All his buddies (Nickmercs, Timthetatman, etc) have come out and said they’re done with him. If you support the guy you’re pretty much admitting you support pedophilia.

So now I’m curious when he cheated on his wife, was it with someone underage?

rozodru ,

AND NOW it’s come out he was ALSO during the same period sexting a transgender sex worker for private cam shows in exchange for partner status on Twitch: x.com/iqkev/status/1806236733727555604 After receiving said cam shows, the Doc promptly blocked her.

yup this is me. When Humble Bundles were insanely good I just bought them all the time. I’d say half my library, if not more, are from those bundles and I haven’t touched most of them. And I even ended up giving away a lot of keys from the bundles too. Like for a couple years there I used them has christmas presents for friends only if they were really good games that I either already owned or had no intention of playing.

rozodru ,

please. I highly doubt it was Gen Z that have propped up Star Citizen for god knows how many years. And it wasn’t Gen Z that kept buying minor revisions of Street Fighter 2 over, and over, and over again in the 90s.

rozodru ,

I used to live in the Southwest US like 20+ years ago and went to high school there. ICP was huge at my school but once people graduated they stopped listening to them for whatever reason.

for where I lived It’d be join the Navy, work at grocery store, work at a call center, or live in a trailer park and die.

rozodru ,

if at this point in your life you’re still buying From Software games and STILL complaining about bad net code then I don’t know what to tell you…that’s on you my friend (not you OP the people posting reviews complaining) I mean god damn if you’ve played ANY Japanese developed game with online play for the past 20 some odd years and you’re complaining about bad net code…again that’s on you. I don’t think I’ve ever played a Japanese developed game that had good net code, it’s just something they’ve never been able to figure out for whatever reason. Even in fighting games it generally is and always has been garbage.

rozodru ,

I love souls games but I love them for the lore. there’s just so. much. god. damn. lore in those games. I will spend hours, days, even months just picking up every item I can to read the description and get a tiny little nugget of lore. Sure I love the boss fights and I really love this DLC because I felt the base game was too easy. I mean when you’ve played all the previous Souls games Elden Ring is by far the easiest one, so this DLC makes me feel like i’m playing Dark Souls again.

All that being said I agree with you, I think there should be an easy mode or what I would call a “explore mode” where you can just go around and easily fight things while building the story for yourself.

rozodru ,

thats what me and my friends did and it works wonderfully. The ONLY souls game that has good net code and online play is a blast is the Demon Souls remake and…surprise, surprise, it wasn’t developed by From Software.

Don’t get me wrong I adore From Software. I’ve been buying all their games for decades. But if you’re looking for great online play from them you’re going to be in for some disappointment.

rozodru ,

Am I having a fever dream or didn’t they pull this exact same shit years ago? like for a week in 2015 that got so huge negative backlash they had to drop it. Then didn’t they pull that again last year with Skyrim…again? and what, now they believe “third time is the charm”?

They must think gamers have the memory of a gnat or something…and well based on the reactions THIS time around i’d say they’re right. They’ll continue to push this again and again and like every time people will be “outraged” but they’ll keep pushing. they aren’t changing and they’re betting on your continued support.

rozodru ,

I swear gamers have the memory of a gnat. How many times has Bethesda pulled shit like this and people continue to support them? no one remembers the Horse armor all the way back in Oblivion? no one remembers the Skyrim paid mods in 2015? hell can’t even remember the SKYRIM PAID MODS IN DEC OF 2023!

This isn’t an outrage and no one should be upset AT Bethesda over this, but disappointed and upset with yourselves for yet again falling for their constant desire to nickel and dime their playerbase.

rozodru ,

christ on a cracker who’d you piss off in Mother Russia to be regulated the the “Lemmy Propaganda Division”? you’re not even smart enough to make it to the Reddit division?

rozodru ,

No my political analysis is more sophisticated than yours based on your previous aided comments. And yes I said aided because the words you type aren’t your own. Your English grammar isn’t natural and it’s quite awkward, it’s good just not natural. you need more training. So if I may provide a “protip” to you and your superiors in Russia or India or where ever you’re operating out of I would highly suggest more classes in natural speech and writing. Right now you look like you copy and paste directly from a chatgpt client. In fact that’s exactly what you’re doing.

in the span of 24 hours you’ve started posting on Lemmy again after a year off. A year ago your comments were different. no where near as elaborate and the grammar was different, also more spelling mistakes from a year ago. And then you went back to how you type now. One moment your spelling and grammar are great, the next they’re not, so it’s painfully obvious multiple people are using your account. And it’s not like you change up your habits based on what community you post to, no you change your habits on a whim. you call people bro and you say “y’all” or “yo” one moment and a few hours later you’re back on chatgpt text.

and you follow all the same tropes that known foreign trolls are known to do. post in news, world news annnnnd personal finance communities. That’s the tell that all you guys give away, constantly.

I mean we can debate all you want but I have zero desire to talk to a copy and pasting ruskie bot.

rozodru ,

you’re spot on. I mean they depend on word of mouth for their marketing but when you have such a toxic community why would anyone in their right mind want to jump into that? I’d only say play it IF and ONLY IF you already have game pass and ONLY if you use said game pass for other shit simply because you get all the characters in League if you play with your game pass sub. I did that for a bit and honestly I spent most of the time just playing co-op against bots cause you didn’t have to deal with any toxic players.

DotA 2, while free with all the characters unlocked, has an even worse community full of edge lords. and the ONE moba that was accessible to new players, easy to pick up, had great map variety, and not nearly as toxic a community is all but dead with Heroes of the Storm. In typical Blizzard fashion they dropped the ball with that one.

rozodru ,

that’s one of the reasons I loved it. no items and different maps that had different objectives. Also having mounts was great to quickly navigate the map.

rozodru ,

ah I had no clue! thought development/updates on it were dead. I’ll try it out again then.

rozodru ,

Unless it’s guaranteed to do ungodly sales they won’t. Capcom plays it safe and if a game doesn’t sell like hotcakes then for them it’s considered a failure. And I’m talking games that any other company would consider a success, for Capcom it has to be a god damn hot success. Look at games like Okami or Viewitful Joe or Maximo. all fantastic games that Capcom just won’t go back to cause either the original didn’t sell well or the sequel didn’t. And Capcom has done this since the 90s. We kept buying Street Fighter 2 over and over again with Turbo, Tournament Edition, Championship Edition, Super, Super Turbo, Turbo Tournament Edition, etc, etc, etc cause they sold very well. it’s safe, easy, money.

I mean hell fans want a new Megaman or Megaman legends, their god damn mascot essentially, and Capcom won’t produce one cause the majority of gamers they feel won’t buy it. Even their fighting games, like Tetsunoko vs Capcom - which is arguably one of the greatest fighting games ever made, won’t get another one cause no one bought it.

So a new Dino Crisis or even a remake? I wouldn’t hold my breath.

rozodru ,

Hey I’m all for another company to produce a better product but…have you see the other options? Not really a monopoly when there is competition out there but they all, maybe with the exception of GoG, collectively suck.

This isn’t like the 90s where if you bought a PC you HAD to use Microsoft. Do you have to now? no there’s plenty of Linux distros out there that are quite good and now work with just about everything. It’s not like Steam is installed by default on PCs. you have the option to use Epic, or Ubisoft, or EA Play, or Game Pass, or GoG. And keep in mind Epic has PC time exclusives that aren’t available on Steam. If you wanted to play Kingdom Hearts on PC you used to have to buy it via Epic and only Epic. same deal with pretty much any EA game for a time. and in the case of EA the consumer spoke up, told them their launcher was shit, and EA then decided to release on Steam.

rozodru ,

I always find it funny when i point out too pcmr that console gaming is far cheaper and easier fairer to the consumer for this reason.

well that’s just a straight up lie. Sony has timed exclusives. as does Xbox. If I want to play Final Fantasy 16 tell me what are my options? I’m not shelling out $500 for a PS5 to play it. or how about the Silent Hill 2 remake? FF rebirth? hmm Death Stranding 2? the KOTR Remake? Wolverine? Marathon?

Essentially If I want to play them and not have to wait to play on Steam I have to buy a PS5. Sony pays these publishers to have the game on their product first and for an extended period of time ONLY their product. Microsoft does the same. Valve isn’t paying anyone for timed exclusives. that’s not fair at all.

And you think you can resell your digital playstation or xbox content or switch? no you can’t do that either, you know this. Hell Microsoft is releasing a digital only Xbox for this very purpose. these companies would love nothing more than to kill the used game market.

as far as review bombs go? please. Fortnite isn’t on steam, does that get review bombed? League of Legends? Valorent? World of Warcraft? several games exclusive to game pass?

none of your arguments hold much, if any, weight.

friend of mine got evicted because the Landlord wanted to take over the condo for “personal use”. friend paid on time every month, never missed a payment and got evicted. So you’d think the Landlord would move in or move in a family member. nope, Landlord wanted to raise the rent…a lot and evicted my friend.

Friend isn’t an idiot and keeps an eye on the place cause they suspected as much. sure enough a month after being evicted the same place is being listed again online for $1500 more a month. Friend knew it was theres because their microwave they left behind was in the listing photos.

Friend proceeds to take the landlord to small claims court and wins. Now getting that winning judgement from the landlord? yeah not so much.

rozodru ,

Was the survey conducted by Captain Obvious?

rozodru ,

dumb people still had access to bullshit information prior to the internet. remember grocery store tabloids? papers with “Bat Boy” on them or how Jesus was constantly coming back, etc? I knew a couple adults that firmly believed and bought that shit.

rozodru ,

Think you hit the nail on the head with the dopamine hit thing. Online media today is essentially built around that and rewards it. Look at Youtube shorts or tiktok. I can spend hours just scrolling through youtube shorts because it’s quick and random dopamine hits. no long content, something different on each scroll, move on to the next. even sites like this contribute to it. each post is something different and also a quick vomit of information.

dedicate oneself to hours of the same consistent media like a tv show or movie or even a videogame I can see as being difficult for people who are now conditioned to quick 10sec hits of info.

rozodru ,

don’t know about horrified but residential superintendents. Ok with being on call 24/7? cool here’s a free place to live you’re hired. Many just do it for the free rent but from my experience previously working in the residential maintenance industry very few actually know how to even unclog a toilet or shut off a water line in a building. Most were alcoholics believe it or not.

rozodru ,

yes. when you get the the part of the installation that requires an internet connection just hit shift+f10 to open a command prompt and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO and then you can finish setting up without an internet connection.

I’ve always done this instead of the bypass email thing. THEN once you install win11 do yourself a favor and install Revi. totally makes the OS 10x better. removes all the bloatware, edge, copilot, ads, etc.

rozodru ,

I remember when this originally came out, it was a huge deal because of Myst and like everyone with a CD drive on their PC owning it. They packaged Myst in with just about everything back in the day and it was almost impossible to NOT own Myst.

rozodru ,

Ah I see someone told him a new word, “martyr” and he liked it.

rozodru ,

successful non-violent revolutions? a few. The Indian Independence movement, The Velvet Revolution, the People Power Revolution, the Singing Revolution…and that’s about it. But keep in mind two of those revolutions were against the Soviets who were quite literally on their way out anyways.

So would a non-violent revolution against the current state of things, at least in North America (Canada is in a similar boat to the US with this) work? doubtful. You already have two liberal governments in power and still nothing is being done. It would be worse if both conservative parties obtained power. Liberals and Democrats will do and say all the things to be the good guys but potentially take money from corporations/the rich to improve the lives of everyone else? no chance in hell, their pockets get lined by the same people as those on the opposite side of the isle.

I have a rog strix and I wouldn’t get another. the screen gets easily nicked, the battery quickly dies after a few months to the point now I MIGHT get 30 min out of it. the keyboard wears out quickly and god damn have I had problems with the hard ware. wifi/bluetooth randomly cutting out every few months where you have to open the laptop up and reposition/unplug and plug back in the wifi/bluetooth. had to reinstall the OS several times cause of hardware issues where the laptop just gets all fucky with the SSD.

I’ve had it for maybe 2 years now and I expect I’ll get less than another year out of it before it completely craps out.

rozodru ,

yup, I use Vivaldi and will never use another browser. has everything I need right in it. built in ad blocker and tracking blocker, integrated with the Fediverse, insanely customizable, and it’s lighter than firefox. I like firefox but i find it to be a ram hog.

rozodru ,

why would they feel threatened? it’s not like they’re running some video game supermarket where their product is only sold in one specific location off the shelf.

not like a user on steam is going to say “hm, I’m only going to buy one polish game this year and I think it’ll be a Larian one”

And as far as potentially poaching devs and what have you it’s not like every single one is from Poland, big studios bring in people from all over the world.
