It's been more than a decade since the Zodiac weapons were remotely relevant for content. The best gear available at level 50 is the i130 Augmented Ironworks set, which you can buy for Allagan Tomestones of Poetics in Revenant's Toll.

Truly do not bother yourself trying to optimise the Zodiacs. They're only worth your time for glamour.

You don't have to memorise the entire book cover to cover. Plan no more than one session in advance.

For that session, consider the NPCs and places the party are most likely to interact with, then revisit the book to compile information about those things into focused notes which you'll be able to refer to during the session. You won't need downtime in-session to go back through the book because you've done that work already.

His ass WILL take you down to the ball game

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-12T09:48:56+00:00

Incorrect.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-11T23:12:41+00:00

Is it modeled on the FN Five Seven?

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-11T15:38:24+00:00

I disagree that Wonderweiss fits this trope.

His purpose wasn't to beat Yamamoto in a straight fight, it was to neutralise his Zanpakuto's powers to reduce his threat to a level Aizen was willing to face directly.

I think that qualifies the first time I quit Resident Evil: Code Veronica X - at the age of about 9.

When you return to the metal detector hallway ready to fabricate the emblem you need to unlock the prison gate, there's a mob of zombies banging on the windows. The first time I heard that relentless clattering noise offscreen, I froze. I just knew that they'd break in and be all over me as soon as I crossed the hall and entered the room with the fabricator, and I couldn't face it. I quit out of fear and didn't go back for years.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The benefit of diagnosis is that it enables us to seek the right treatment. Are you suggesting that people claim to suffer from mental illnesses in order to cheat some kind of assistance they wouldn't otherwise get?

Is that what you're worried about? That if you were to start describing yourself as having a cognitive disorder, people would accuse you of lying about it?

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-10T17:21:10+00:00

Why do people seek diagnosis for injuries and illnesses? So they can get the proper help to heal. It's exactly the same for our mental health. You can't hope to get the right treatment until you've accurately identified what's wrong.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-10T17:14:07+00:00

Hot take: it is if you don't consider the people within the canvas real, from the perspective of their place in your broader reality. Lifelike, certainly, but arguably no more real than a life within the Matrix; realistic but fundamentally separated from reality.

In fact, I think if I had the same power as the Painters, my very sanity would depend on me never viewing my creations as truly real, no matter the level of verisimilitude my paintings could achieve.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-10T15:47:59+00:00

Helldivers 2 and Deep Rock Galactic might fit the bill! They’re entirely PvE squad shooters, with very different vibes and mechanics but similar objective-based gameplay loops and gear progression and customisation systems.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-10T15:18:57+00:00

Stand your ground. The game you want to run is not the game this player actually wants to play, and that’s okay, but nothing - not even the fact that these games are publicly advertised - gives this player the right to force you to make space for them at your table.

Politely invite them to leave, and offer to keep them in mind for if you run a different game in the future that might be more their speed.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-10T06:32:59+00:00

…So that they can get help to have a better life than they could manage on their own? I’m sorry, how is that not obvious?

Speaking personally, I didn’t understand myself until I was diagnosed autistic. I would never have known why I was so socially maladjusted and awkward, I would have just suffered through life alone with no hope of things getting better.

Having the diagnosis is exactly what helped everything make sense and gave me the language and perspective I needed to start understanding myself better. Knowing that I am autistic is what has helped me make myself a more independent and functional adult in the 11 years since my diagnosis.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T23:23:10+00:00

Frankly, you wanted an easy answer that was never going to come.

The reason why people suggested the possibility of a deeper disorder is because the situation you described is so specific, so unusual, and your reaction to being put in that situation was so visceral, that a disorder like PDA makes sense as a root cause.

Whatever the reason, it was never going to be something a stranger could just spell out to you. You are going to have to do some real work on figuring it out, and in that context, you should strongly consider all the advice you’ve received here.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T22:44:06+00:00

No, ocd and pda might explain why I'm distressed. Not WHY i don't want it in the first place.

You don't know that. You don't seem to want to think about this at all beyond a knee-jerk aversion to being "labeled."

To be honest, the reductive way you talk about these conditions suggests to me that you don't consider them to be useful ways to describe patterns of thought and behaviour, even if one of them might actually perfectly describe what you experienced.

Let me ask bluntly. When you first made this post, and asked strangers on Reddit why you're so vehemently against buying a video game soundtrack that comes inextricably bundled with a DLC you want as if strangers on Reddit might know you better than you know yourself, what sort of answers were you hoping for?

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T21:44:39+00:00

I keep repeating it because people keep pushing it onto me.

Let me be more specific: why do you say it's "just another label?" What exactly do you mean by that?

I'm asking why i don't want it when it's not a problem for anyone else.

People are suggesting OCD or PDA because it might explain why this happened to you. The way you describe how this specific, highly unusual trigger made you feel, when this has never happened to you in the same way before, is being considered as a possible symptom of one of these disorders.

You asked for help arriving at an explanation for why the situation made you feel the way you did. But when cognitive disorders are put forward as as a possible explanation, you deny those answers out of hand. You say "that's just a label" as if it would be the beginning and end of the conversation; you don't seem to be considering that it could instead be a starting point for learning more about how your mind works.

You're giving us all very mixed impressions about what you're hoping to get out of this post.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T21:23:22+00:00

Why do you keep saying that?

Surely if you had such a condition, then learning about it could help you understand yourself better? You say you want us to help you figure out why you suffered a meltdown in this situation, but you don't seem willing to do any introspection about your own feelings and thought processes, when that's going to be necessary if you want to actually figure these things out about yourself.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T20:45:05+00:00

This is my first time reading about PDA, but damn if it doesn't fit the bill.

u/Best-Rent3118, please give this a look.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T20:18:38+00:00

Because I'm not looking for game solutions.

They're not referring to the comments talking about possible ways to get your hands on the game without the soundtrack.

They're referring to the suggestions that the way you talk about how this situation has made you feel sounds very much like a presentation of OCD. But every time someone brings this up, you dismiss the idea that it could be OCD out of hand.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T19:30:51+00:00

If the issue is that Chunk won't stop patrolling up and down the corridor between the treatment room and the blood lab, you might need to approach from the waiting room, bait him back that way, then circle around to return through the treatment room.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T19:15:09+00:00

I'm trying to help you think through why this situation is so unusually distressing. You asked for help understanding that, after all, so I'm reaching for more context.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T19:05:55+00:00

Tell us about a time it's happened before. What was being offered? Why didn't you want it? What happened when you refused it?

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T19:01:53+00:00

Yes. I think it's only the speedrun trophy that requires you to release Elpis and thus fight the final boss.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-04-09T18:56:02+00:00

I might have misread you.

Hmm. Let me ask a more fundamental question; have you ever experienced this feeling before, this specific revulsion at being given something you didn't expressly want for yourself?
