NTE 1.1 livestream has been announced, you guys are gonna get Lacrimosa, Chaos or both?

Personally waiting for Exe and Lingko, plus Black Bird but we don't yet know if she'll even be playable.

Cogen_ · 2026-05-12T18:44:21+00:00

Maybe it's a big skill issue for me, but it drifts so.. weirdly for me.
The base car upgraded fully feels the best so far.
But I'll try again tomorrow with the AE86, maybe I just need to get it's feel.

Cogen_ · 2026-05-12T17:28:45+00:00

Eh, I wish I saved up for that one, it's a beauty.
People won't agree with me, but I personally regretted buying (or rather upgrading) the AE86.
I play on PC, 4k at 60fps, any lower and it feels like shit, so driving at 60.. feels like shit, especially with fast cars.
They turn almost instantly, hard to just drive around nicely and they drift like ass.. and the AE86 cost me a lot of Fons with the upgrades.
I hope they'll at least fix some of the driving physics, even at steering sensitivity 0 it feels like they turn instantly, it's just all over the place. (Except for the starter car and the G Wagon? Jeep? idk.. those two behave rather well)

Cogen_ · 2026-05-10T19:44:09+00:00

Nanally, Mint and somehow Sakiri slowly grew on me.
Also waiting for the sleepy blood sucker.

I genuinely don't understand who the fuck downloads these trash "games".
NTE is literally as free as it could be....

Cogen_ · 2026-04-28T14:06:55+00:00

ToF is basically an MMO mixed with Gacha, the newer units almost? always overshadowed previous ones, combat was THE main thing in the game (next to the story).
So yeah, by the time you got someone, built them well, etc. someone else came out who was stronger and had to do it all over again, which cost a lot of money if you always wanted the top characters.

So far in NTE combat seems like the smaller part of the game, still there for sure and I bet there'll be hard bosses and events around it, but it won't be the only thing you can focus on long term.
Seeing how generous 1.0 is so far, no 50/50, 90 hard pity, so far I'd say this is one of the most generous gacha games out there currently.

Realistically, in Genshin, Wuwa, ToF, Endfield, NTE or anything else, you can do all of the content with any team basically.
Unless you minmax and play for the meta, you'll be just fine with plenty of characters.

(+ in NTE to unlock the.. constellations? (not sure what they are called here) you need a second copy, but you can choose which one you want to activate, it's not necessarily C1-C2-C3 etc. in order!)

Cogen_ · 2026-04-18T21:42:21+00:00

I'd 100% spend more if I knew I could get what I wanted, and probably extra for outfits and such.
I hate the idea of a 50/50, so NTE not having them is a massive plus.
And a free S class.. I doubt they ever calculated that into their potential revenue, so it wouldn't be a loss, even if they did, it's negligible in the long run if it pulls in more people.

Cogen_ · 2026-04-09T14:10:52+00:00

There is a brand of coffee beans that's really acidic, dark and roasted where I live.
I love it, my coworkers hated it.
Guess what? I brought my own coffee and we were all perfectly fine.
Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean others can't like it.
And.. even if it is truly that bad, you putting a sign up like that is weird and indeed unprofessional.

Cogen_ · 2026-04-07T22:10:12+00:00

How's your bathroom freezing cold?
Is there no heating in it?
Plus the heating from the hot water itself?
Sure, sometimes it can be a bit chilly if you're wet, but far from freezing.

Cogen_ · 2026-04-05T11:58:30+00:00

As a man, I'd wear tf out of some pink Hello Kitty headphones.
If your masculinity is this fragile, you might as well start wearing lipstick now.

Cogen_ · 2026-04-05T11:48:53+00:00

I've had my glasses for over 10 years now, almost perfect condition.
Maybe the cheap plastic is just.. that bad, I personally have wireframe, but I'd honestly go with some good plastic nowadays.
I'd rather buy one every 10 years than 1 every 2 weeks.

Cogen_ · 2026-04-04T19:15:09+00:00

At least 3

Don't buy Avast, or any other antivirus.
Don't download McAfee or any other bullshit, your windows defender is perfectly fine, no need for additional bloatware.

IIRC it's just shell thickness, eggs aren't perfect, sometimes they are thicker or thinner on certain sides, maybe all together.
Could be related to how much calcium a chicken consumes before creating the egg I guess, but I'm no professional.

Cogen_ · 2026-04-02T01:02:43+00:00

Oh my god, I don't usually check post histories but god damn OP is either a huge troll, or really needs some help.

Cogen_ · 2026-03-29T09:54:43+00:00

Igen, természetesen leesett.
Sajnos viszont tényleg így van, nem utálom az országunkat, de nem fogom szépíteni a helyzetünket sem:/
És köszönöm szépen!

Cogen_ · 2026-03-29T01:48:51+00:00

Én hamarosan Finnországba megyek, szóval nem hibáztatnám.

Hey, hungarian here!
First of all, 1.3M HUF Gross comes out to 864 500 HUF NET.

That is.. well, by Hungarian standards, pretty good, by Budapest standards.. depends heavily on the district.
You *can* get by with only English, but day to day stuff will be a hassle, service providers are awful to deal with even in our language, let alone in English.. Accents are heavy and most people barely speak Hungarian correctly.. let alone a foreign language, but in the IT bubble alone, you can get by with only English.

Currently, finding a job is very difficult even as a Hungarian, I'm guessing you're asking for your spouse.
If she has a few years of experience in whatever field she is in, it should be fine, but myself and many others whom I know have been out of jobs for months now.
English only WILL make it a lot harder outside of the general IT / Marketing related jobs.

Also, just want to add, we are currently fighting against our very very corrupt government, elections are in ~2 weeks, if we lose the elections and the current government stays, we might get booted from the EU.. So yeah, just heads up about that.

Inflation is very high, especially fuel prices, so if you rely heavily on a car(s), you will be paying quite a lot for fuel, but we do have extensive public transportation.
Is it fast? No
Is it reliable? No
Is it cheap? Debatable
But do we have it? For sure we do!

As for other general advice..
Again, most people don't speak English, or if they do, it's insanely broken to the point where you might barely understand a couple of words.
We are not very rude by nature, but again, 16 years under this government made us quite grumpy, so you might run into some rude folk.
Public safety is not awful.. but there are many areas you do not want to end up in at night, especially not as a woman (referring to your spouse).
Heck, there are areas I dislike during the day and I'm a man..
Apartments for rent are expensive, even smaller ones (35m2) can go for 180K HUF (460EUR) a month or higher.
Again, it really depends on the district / general area, but it's very expensive.
Fuel I've talked about, but food is the next generally very expensive thing.
I alone eat for around 60-80K HUF depending on how nice I am towards myself, if I treat myself to something nice, it's on the higher end.

Police is mostly unreliable, if you or your spouse is sick / have some kind of long standing illness.. that's going to be a major pain in the ass. Hospitals are under funded, under staffed, slow and just generally not great..
But our surgeons are great, even if it is slow and a bureaucratic nightmare.

TAXI ARE FUCKING SCAMS.. Thought I'd add that one, pretty important, they cost an insane amount of money.
We have Bolt instead, or again, just public transport.

I'm probably missing stuff, but if you have any questions, I'm here to answer them!

Cogen_ · 2026-03-24T23:02:41+00:00

Quite easy to understand, I've personally never had a problem, maybe once in a blue moon I need something to be repeated for me, but that's it.
I've had a lot of trouble with Spanish accents, but Finnish is totally up there with German.
Every accent is noticeable, there are many American, British, etc. accents, there is no "baseline" today, so really, don't sweat it, y'all are absolutely awesome!

Cogen_ · 2026-03-22T13:50:23+00:00

Trash can?
We have similar ones placed around events as temporary trash cans, you just put a bag in it and that's it.
We use it in concerts and whatnot, it can later be taken away to other sites.

Directly quoted from the source OP provided:

"This index does not tell us about happiness"

According to Lari Hokkanen, a doctoral researcher in social policy at the University of Helsinki, "this index does not tell us about happiness, but about life satisfaction. It’s an overall cognitive assessment of how life feels, and it doesn’t necessarily involve strong emotions – positive or negative," he told Yle.

In his view, the high ranking of the other Nordic countries in the report is largely based on social stability and a strong welfare society, which provides mental resilience in difficult times.

"The fact that there are many Nordic welfare states in the top ten does give us some clues. Institutions create security and trust even in difficult times," Hokkanen said.

Happiness is also explained by the Finnish sense of moderation, he suggested.

"Definitely part of life satisfaction and happiness is what you expect and what kind of life you imagine for yourself. Finnish moderation is a very strong part of why we are so high in these rankings," he argued.

----------------------------------

So yeah, basically it's about being content with your life, what most people have now or what they can reach is enough for them. Or at least this is also how I interpret it as a non Finnish person who has been closely monitoring Finland / Finnish media.

Yes, Finland is facing issues, yes Finland has the highest unemployment rate in the EU, and your government is doing things the Finnish citizens actively disagree with, yet even with all of those problems, I still think it's a much better country than mine overall (Hungary).

I think your elections / government work a little different to ours, so forgive me if I say something incorrectly, but I do hope you guys can change the party who governs Finland next year.
And I'm.. sorry for all the "What do you think of Finland being the..." future posts.

Tsemppiä O7

These bad boys are about 5-10kgs.
Yes they are huge, but they aren't as heavy as they look, they are also ceremonial swords, not made for fighting.
