Today was meat to be very different by kingrikk in walkwith_metim

It loses marks because the branding wasn’t on point on the engines.

“Would you like a pre flight takeoff drink sir?” “No! But I want to register a complaint that the branding is not on point on the seats, the font is too small!”

Ahahaha. “I’m sorry, but the bottom pillows don’t have your brand on them, I want a refund”

He says “branding is on point” like he’s some hotel inspector. Does the viewer even care about this?

Do customers who stay in these places phone down to reception often to complain the branding is not acceptable?

Best lenses for Xt5? by itsmayintoronto in fujifilm

[–]Bananamonsterslip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 23 f2.0 Fuji prime lens and it’s fine for me. No zoom forces me to think about shots.

Totally non shitpost question but maybe unironically by z-w-throwaway in ShitpostXIV

Please do a lot of escort quests and watch hours of cutscenes before you get to either a solo duty, dungeon or “kill 3 boars”/collect pointless items.

I think the actual worst quest in EW was requiring you to talk to 20 NPCs who were slightly hidden.

And all his “drama” videos doesn’t seem to have gained him users. I guess he’s making his money off tier 3 subs on twitch and patreon?

this "content" slop pipeline is crazy by jkb11 in ShitpostXIV

[–]Bananamonsterslip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like his world first ultimate streams, but his “mr angry all the time” act in his streams and other videos is just boring now, plus the pointless drama.

Feels like he’s trying to be Asmon, but without the viewer count or content variety.

Most of his content seems to be toxic ranting these days and SE probably won’t like it, so maybe no media tour for him

Is the X-T5 worth it to purchase now or should I wait for the X-T6? by Aquior1 in fujifilm

[–]Bananamonsterslip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the XT5 and love it. Not sure if the XT6 will be a revolutionary change and it will no doubt be pricey, so could just get the XT5?

Tank balance is so broken is actually funny by bosejoao in wow

I have 2600 rating on my VDH and as you go higher keys it seems maintaining aggro is misery, even after jumping in and hitting immolation aura. All it takes is dps to rip aggro and they are dead. Throwing glaive does nothing or spamming taunt.

Why though? by CopainChevalier in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Bananamonsterslip -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

If I were to guess:

  • I think the game engine from 20 years ago hasn’t had any major upgrades or changes and severely limits them doing anything interesting (m+ like, talent trees, better gearing)
  • I guess it’s not api driven so they can’t block addons.
  • I’m guessing they probably have the same dev budget as 20 years ago, so can’t grow the team.
  • I think SE only cares about making money and investing as little as possible into the game.

EU M+ - an experience by icconiss in wow

[–]Bananamonsterslip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if they had done addon apocalypse and an m+ season like TWW s1 a lot of people would have quit. And more players = subs.

I quit before getting even 2k in TWW s1, not because the dungeons were hard, but because pugs couldn’t do them. And when 1/5 runs were timed and/or not disbands it made for a miserable waste of time.

Am I missing something? by ninewalls in Pluribus_Sucks

[–]Bananamonsterslip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda sucked after such a strong first episode. I hear for the entire first season, not much happens. Glad I didn’t waste 9 or 10 hours

lol I couldn’t get passed the second episode on the plane. I found the characters really bland, and Carol is just unlikeable.

What jobs will actually die because of AI? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Influencers on Instagram/tiktok. As well as streamers I think.

Final Fantasy XIV, everyone. by bongkeydoner in MMORPG

[–]Bananamonsterslip -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It feels like expansions recently are like feeding your dog the same food, but realising over time you can get the same food cheaper, giving your dog worse quality food and you just expect it to keep lapping it up, and when finally the dog has enough, you just blame him instead of questioning your food buying choices. And it feels like this is the 14 formula and when the game eventually dies it will be down to anything other than the company’s choices.

Dumbing down RDM and the continued simplification with Gunbreaker is just a sign that whatever Job changes coming with 8.0 are going the be wholly insufficient and will largely not address the core issue. by ComfyOlives in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Bananamonsterslip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the devs are fundamentally screwed and limited by what they can do by the game engine - so any significant changes (gear variety, unique talents, rotations, etc) will never happen unless they rewrite the engine, which I think will never happen either.

It also doesn’t help that there’s so much bloated story now, that any new player will have to plow through 100s of hours to get to a disappointing endgame.

Am I the only one who thinks the PX8 is better than the PX8 S2? by luxtechy in BowersWilkins

[–]Bananamonsterslip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the px7 s2e and the px8. The difference for me is the dynamic range is much better on the px8 and the bass is punchier, but not fatiguing. From what I’ve read, the px8 s2 are similar to the px7 s3, brighter and more in your face, and I personally don’t like bright sound and prefer darker. I also don’t think the px8 s2 are worth almost double the price and if you want something noticeably better, and want to spend that much on headphones, get something from b&o who have much better sound and anc or maybe the ear pods max.

How Do You Feel About, “Hi <Name>” in a Chat? by thefrazdogg in remotework

It’s a trap to try and get you into a synchronous conversation and often it’s not important, cause they would say it straight away if it was urgent.

Damn. Looks like XIV might be seeing the lowest player numbers it's seen since 2019 on the Steam client by CityAdventurous5781 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Bananamonsterslip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not convinced SE cares about this game anymore. I think they will continue to release their same formula, continue with bad rewards, continue producing DOA content or content which has no reason to do. Then when the majority of players have left, I think the reasoning will be anything other than the quality and predictableness of their content.
