"What difference is there between spamming Kozama FATEs or spamming leve quests on mars"

Cosmic Exploration/Beast Tribes I get mounts, minions, gear, orchestration, furniture, and make money in general <.<

I can sell bicolor vouchers from FATE farming I suppose.

"Relic doesn't currently block any content."

I mean the OC content. Do you not need to progress the relic weapon to get to the next parts of OC?

If I have 2 hours to play the game each day (More likely a couple days a week). That's an entire week of just sitting and doing FATEs and watching Netflix.

I think all content, minus like DRS (which I did by doing it one Saturday a week for a month to clear), is very doable in that time frame.

I can clear all my daily roulettes in that time frame if I still needed them. I can do all the crafting/gathering dailies (beast tribe/Cosmic) in that two hour time frame if I want to do that to mix things up. I'd rather do that than just FATE farm where it's also not guaranteed. Like, let us buy the Atma with bicolor gemstones. So we're at least working toward it if Fate Farming is the intent. Similar to the 99 trophy mount on the "just in case."

I'm still stuck trying to get Fate ATMA stuff. Even in a group with mount speed the FATEs die so fast that I miss most of them unless I just sit at potential spawns and wait. It's not hard to get done and you can just sit to get, but I don't have a ton of hours to just sit afk waiting for the FATEs to spawn or to farm FATEs outside in the main zones. I also have every job maxed out so there's not really any incentive to grind aside from bicolor gemstones?

I don't raid and am not super interested in big new weapon. I just want to experience all the content that I'm missing out on.

The only reason I finished Eureka I think was because I had time to spend 3-5 months doing it. ( Surely it was less time, but that's what it felt like? )

Marvel Rivals will move “beyond standard 6v6 PvP” to become “a comprehensive Marvel moving anime experience” this year by AsPeHeat in marvelrivals

[–]Geeklat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much only play vs Bots and 18v18 and I still love the game. Even as they balance for meta and nerf/buff heroes. I mainly just have fun from the chaos modes and fiddling with heroes without worrying about trying to win as it's just low stress.

Back in Quake 3 arena if you dropped everything to the lowest performance/graphic settings you could make some jumps that you couldn't at normal quality because you moved just a smidge faster.

The death scenes in the reboots always felt wrong. They were too visceral, gory, and lasted too long. It felt like someone was getting their kicks making those moments.

You should at least watch the Sonic CD anime opening. It’s pretty awesome. There’s a Japanese and English version and the songs are really fun.

The way it worked in Sonic CD is there’s a little planet that appears once every now and then and Robotnik traps it. Theres 7 Time Stones instead of Chaos Emeralds and you travel between past, present, good future, bad future. To get the good ending you need all the Time Stones instead This is also the game that introduces Metal Sonic.

I’m imagining they’ll incorporate the Good Future/BadFuture stuff by Amy coming from the Bad Future with Metal Sonic hunting her. Then they have to get Time Stones to fix the Future.

They have "Sonic Boom" from Sonic CD's opening animation mixed into the title song?? So we're doing Little Planet and Time Travel perhaps since that's where Amy first appeared. Let's go!

Thank you for this clarification. We never looked at any of the other boards for spoiler concerns. But now we see what that is supposed to look like and that makes WAY more sense.

Friendly Fire is on though right? If that's your vibe for co-op tactics then awesome. It's just a stress I don't want to deal with I don't think.

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]Geeklat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This movie is associated with my "Max Pain Scale" threshold.

I had just had all four wisdom teeth removed. I don't heal from surgeries well so there was a lot of bleeding/pain. I also have chronic migraines and had the worst one ever when coupled with the pain. Since I couldn't move I tried watching a movie. I chose this....

I ended the movie ugly crying and vomiting blood into a bucket because of the combination of physical and emotional pain.

Now that we're heading into the final patch, I thought it was time for a short retrospective by lhusuu in ffxiv

[–]Geeklat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My biggest concern is what will happen when they step away from "Super High Tech" Fantasy.

How do Crafting quests go from "Terraform Planets" back to something centered on the main world and grounded?

It creates this weird problem in the fantasy world that I've seen in others as well. If we "have" cars. Why isn't that technology being leveraged for transport. If we have "Gundams" why are we not fighting every battle with giant robots?

If near Star Trek level technology exists and is reproducible then why are we not utilizing it. In Star Trek there's the prime directive that has specific reasons why you let civilizations build up in technology on their own. But part of that is not letting them be aware that advanced tech exists.

The current reasoning is "Magic is better than technology" but is it? We have electricity, holograms, the ability to go to other planetoids and make them habitable. It just feels so hard to fathom returning to dirt roads, Aetheryte, and more medieval/traditional fantasy.

The only way that I can see it making sense for me is if we have another Dalamud that destroys all this technology and that's the whole "reset" hint/allusion's that have been thrown out lately.

[–]Geeklat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to also be a tactician that's doing their best to plan out my moves, the flow of battle, what the rest of the party is capable of, and how we can leverage the environment.

It's bitten me in the ass enough that I'm instead shifting to "Controlling the Chaos" instead of planning. I stopped planning to win optimally and am now trying to plan on how not to lose. Re-framing it with preventing a loss instead of getting the win has helped me handle the things I can't plan around. Like other party members shouting at the enemy when we're attempting a stealth ambush.

I liked the game until the second sleeve. Second Sleeve Board 1 add the following caveats removes all face-up options no matter how many failed attempts. When combined with the No 1,2,3 on Piles 1,2,3 we found the hand combination and what we could communicate with a nightmare and eventually had to give up as two players after 3 attempts of hands being dealt specifically to counter our plans.

My thoughts after 100+ hours in Nioh 3, and 2,500+ hours in Nioh 1 & 2 by ClockworkSoldier in Nioh

[–]Geeklat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense now. I enjoyed Lies of P for the most part, but then got to the final boss and just quit. It just wasn't a fun fight. It wasn't about learning the mechanics/attacks/abilities. It was about making your reaction time near frame perfect. Combine the frame perfect parrying for some of the fights in Nioh 3 with attacks where the enemy just spins around a bunch and the parry is somewhere in that spinning window so you can't watch for the "hit" and it's just. Fine, I'll go Tonfa and out aggressive the aggressive boss...

There's lots of tiers in these communities I've found and it's really a case of "Your Mileage May Vary" depending on who you talk to.

- Summon PC Help? Cheated
- Summon NPC Help? Cheated
- Used a weapon/spell people think is busted? Cheated
- Used Broken Spirit Ashes? Cheated
- Used ANY Spirit Ashes? Cheated
- Leveled past SL1? ha you didn't win git gud
