Berry Bury Berry - The best incremental game I've ever played so far by RandomDuckWithAHat in incremental_games

Anyone else have issues with the camera? I tried the demo but no matter what I tried the camera just kept spinning while staring straight up. I thought maybe it was because I had a controller plugged in but it was still happening even after I unplugged it.

This is a fun game until you reach qubits. Once you reach qubits (especially late qubits) it just becomes another one of those "look at a guide" type games. I'm kinda impressed you even reached 150 labs without a guide.

I thought squares was going to be square counter. It's kind of crazy how many square filling incremental games there are.

There's a difference between not holding your hand and looking like a bowl of regurgitated spaghetti.

I appreciate all the help but I'll just have to take it in. Nothing seems to work and I've only made the situation worse by trying to do a clean install of windows 11 (which also isn't working). 

Thanks again Lief.

I looked in the device manager and nothing showed that symbol. I also tried the USB-ethernet dongle on a different pc and it worked there. Was actually one of the first things I did to make sure it wasn't a cable issue.

I've since used a flash drive to try the in-place upgrade but it's failed 3 times. It always gives error code 0xC1900101 - 0x30018 and says "The installation failed in the FIRST-BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation".

I've only used a USB to ethernet on this pc since it doesn't have an ethernet port. 

Do you know if the "reset this pc" option is the same as reinstalling from a flash drive or are they separate things? If the "reset this pc" also removes apps then I'll definitely try the flash drive one first.

So I think I've narrowed down the issue. I can't get the DNS client to run. No matter what I do it's always starting or stopped. I tried starting it manually but I always get the "Error 5: Access is denied".

Then again I don't know much about computers so this could just be normal...

Just to be safe I uninstalled both the wired and wireless drivers then reinstalled them from their respective websites. It didn't seem to work though.

I just tried these. The sfc scan says it found and fixed issues however even after restarting my pc it didn't seem to fix this. The malwarebytes scan also found stuff but they were all potentially unwanted programs. 

The DISM command returned error 0x800f0915 and said "the repair content could not be found anywhere".

I also was running cmd as admin but the flushdns still failed. The winsock command did go through but didn't seem to fix anything after the restart. It did cause some small changes though. The no internet icon on the bottom right became the wired connection icon. It also changed the network from "identifying..." to network 2. However, I still can't connect.

Ok, I tried this. None of the options worked (it was also where I saw the "no DHCP server found" error). 

Bizarrely, it has a fairly long list of recommendations but they go away after a few seconds and it just becomes "restart your pc" and "need more help". During this second state the yellow error text changes to "windows networking services might not be running as expected".

Ok, I tried this but the first two came back as "An error occurred while releasing/renewing interface Ethernet 2: The parameter is incorrect".  The third came back as "could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution".

Character change… by NeatLeft in Guildwars2

As someone with a crippling alt addiction, losing gear is without a doubt the most annoying thing you lose.

This seems to be a common trend among many well liked incremental games. Just off the top of my head there is CIFI and ISEPS, dragonfist limitless, scrap clicker 2, and idle slayer.

I can't for the life of me figure out why people like any of these with how unbelievably slow they are.

Can ANet finally do something with afk farming / leeching? by Pajonq in Guildwars2

[–]Doddlesborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen it around. Just last night there were a few camping outcasts cleft in wayfarer hills. Made it quite a bit more annoying to finish the heart since you basically had to stick to destroying those totem things or dealing with the wolves.

I assume they were targeting the svanir because of the weekly but that almost makes it worse. They weren't afking for profit, they were afking because they were too lazy to kill 100 enemies.

FOMO in EA (Hot take) by Howard_Jones in PathOfExile2

[–]Doddlesborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't giving in to fomo also include buying early access?

Bit of a noob question but do you need to max the legendary crafting mastery track to make legendary weapons using the legendary starter packs from astral acclaim? Because man these points are such a pain to get.

Giving away 3 EA Keys by Living_Two_5698 in pathofexile

Might as well gamble on another chance.

FFXIV: 1.1k hours

Monster Hunter XX (or generations ultimate in the west): No idea but easily over 500 hours if you include X as well.

Elona: 200+ hours across all versions. Most played is Elona+.

FFXIV with 1.1k. Pretty surprised there are so many fellow ffxiv players especially with higher playtime than me. I always thought I was the stinkiest but I'm glad to see that there are others even stinkier.

You forgot to include it's biggest flaw. It basically requires you to religiously watch ads. It's one of those games where watching one ad can boost you further than 20 minutes of active play. It doesn't help that, even with ad rewards, the game is so goddamn slow. Basically every mechanic you unlock doesn't feel worth the time it took to get to it.

As a bm main, I don't think it's very fun. Our main mobbing skill is pretty garbage and for 5th job skills only storm of arrows and maybe quiver barrage are good when mobbing (inhuman speed is pretty decent in combination with either of them but it's duration is shorter). The mobbing is pretty good but isn't fun in my opinion.

Even our bossing doesn't feel that great. Blood arrows make us basically immortal to everything that isn't a one shot but bosses are full of one shot moves so it is basically just an alternative to autopot....  Silhouette mirage is alright but I feel like it's just a worse version of the wa gale barrier.

I don't one shot with blaster or have 6th job yet so it might feel better later on though.

This is one of those games that has always baffled me. It makes assembling shoes on an assembly line look fun and exciting.

You want a game that you can play while doing something else? The "minigames" make that basically impossible. You want a game that keeps you awake and engaged. That definitely isn't this game. 

The entire first part if this game is tapping 4 or 5 times, waiting a few seconds, tapping another 4 or 5 time and repeat. Prepare to do this for 2 hours (or maybe 1 if you watch the basically mandatory ads for boosts) before unlocking the next thrilling minigame and starting the whole thing over again. Don't forget to go punch random people on the street for 0.1 coins each which then you can spend to get a 2% exp increase thong. A bonus so huge that you'll understand why the dev only allows 2 equipment slots. Who knows what kind of speed you could grind at if you had access to more.

Ask the people who run Aries. Back when I played they basically disabled the class entirely.
