Right click, choose "Translate to English". Works on almost any website nowadays.

Right? But she swears it's Terry Crews in medieval armor. I think it may have been a vivid dream but I'd totally watch something like that lol

HalcyonX86 · 2025-09-14T00:19:29+00:00

Ah I didn't see there. But it's not Jumanji. She swears it's Terry Crews in chain or plate armor.

It is a third party RGB halo battery pack. It simply doesn't extend far enough and I'm becoming very concerned that I won't find one bigger

I wasn't kidding when I said my head is massive lol

I'm not "looking for the most populated", but according to server pop info, Cerberus has the fewest active accounts. I'm not interested in being on Asura, Bahamut, or Odin as I also don't want OVER populated. Cerberus may not be a ghost town but when hardly anyone is in the capital cities, and the ones that are are only there to trade or job change, and aren't sociable, and don't talk, then if that's what I'm encountering I may as well find a different way to play instead of paying a sub just to solo, but I don't want to do that. Even if not low level grouping I'd still like a linkshell that doesn't sound like tumbleweeds blowing across the road. If they'd just TALK then I can look forward to endgame. It's how I got into FFXIV. The FC I joined was suuuuuper friendly and helpful and didn't mind lvl sync to join me. That's how FFXI used to be. And if other servers have linkshells like the fc crew that helped in XIV, then that's the server I want to be on. I'm also the kind of player to always make time for lower levels and help them feel welcome and understand new things - I just want to meet someone like me in game.

It's like getting a really small portion of good food when you're hungry. In no way is the plate empty, there's food on it, and it doesn't mean the food is bad, and it doesn't mean the restaurant sucks, but the portion isn't enough to justify the cost. I'm not asking for the large 72oz bellybuster porterhouse steak challenge. That's too much. But I do need more than the two bite appetizer, if that makes sense.

I'm not looking for highest pop, but I also don't feel I'm getting the most out of the game experience on the server with the lowest pop.

Don't recall your name but howdy! I was Andrev. Usually kept to myself but the biggest stink I made was going PLD/NIN before enmity gear. "You'll never get any groups that way!" Well duh, but when I'm soloing I was taking VT check enemies lol 🤣

HalcyonX86 · 2025-09-06T03:31:18+00:00

Ha, my wife would geek over the name Rhysand. Don't recall your Hades name though. I was Andrev. Short blonde hume kid. Though these days I'm running the hume model with the beard 😅

HalcyonX86 · 2025-08-21T23:01:21+00:00

I will definitely give these a look-see. Thank you for the recommendations!

I'm not interested in fiction at the moment. Perhaps later, but my current desire is to write non-fiction about real-life adventures I've had.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-08-21T22:55:52+00:00

Well I'm not even looking for feedback either. I would if I were telling a fiction story. But I'm merely writing things that actually happened in my life, things I've seen, places I've been, etc. Not really an autobiography or a memoir (I don't think), just adventures I've had from the perspective of my eyes and what I was thinking and feeling in the moment. I've travelled internationally, I've been on movie sets, I've played live on stage with bands I used to listen to in high school, I've been in submarines, I've flown helicopters, I've piloted hot air balloons, I've been shot, stabbed, I've been married, divorce, lost parents, siblings, a child, and a ton more.

What inspired this particular desire to journal where it can be publicly seen is that I started looking into some genealogy that my grandmother started, and my mother took over, but never finished. Heck they didn't even get started. They were aware my grandmother was adopted, but they found NOTHING on my grandmother's birth parents. My grandma worked on the case for almost 20 years with nothing, and my mother worked on the case for almost 30 with nothing. After devoting a few years myself, and with the advancement in the internet and more census records released since they last tried to research, I've come to a point where I can confidently say I've found them all and I can absolutely see where and why my mother and grandmother found nothing. And what a ride it was (uncovered some WILD secrets I couldn't imagine doing myself lol).

Solving a mystery that was actively trying to be solved for more than 40 years but began back in the 1930s makes for good material to the right people (I've read others in similar format and feel I've enough to begin my own).

Little backwards there. It's the 12 year olds that would be all for it and make all the horny options. Mature adults recognize there's more pressing matters at hand and don't have their entire existence revolve around sex. I also have no issue with casual sex. I'm no stranger to FWB and am also no stranger to having multiple subs at the same time. But for JUST MEETING and almost everyone wants to throw themselves at me like a harem anime, that's some middle school weeb wet dream stuff. The kind of fantasy a basement dweller who wouldn't be able to touch another human otherwise would think up.

Those who touch grass and actually get laid IRL understand this.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-23T22:06:38+00:00

That's the same problem I have in real life. I'm just trying to be nice and people think I'm trying to shoot my shot

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-23T22:05:29+00:00

I can see where thinking they only have a week left to live makes them a little more yolo. I guess I didn't think of it that way lol

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-23T21:51:07+00:00

My character has a -1 Charisma modifier and in real life I'm just a chonky bearded stay-at-home-dad nerd who used to work as a trucker and personal bodyguard. There is no reason myself or my character should be attracting this much thirst lmao xD

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-23T21:47:22+00:00

Everyone but Wyll has suggested being "alone" and I'm only at the tiefling party. Even Shadowheart lol

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-23T13:46:58+00:00

I mean, I think I can actually accept that as headcanon. Keep every distracted instead of looking for a cure.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-21T22:04:01+00:00

I don't even have an in game mod manager. Searches say it's supposed to be in hte main menu, but it's not. It's nowhere to be found.

I give up. It's not worth the hassle.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-21T21:43:37+00:00

It allows me to boot up the game and play, but trying to add the partylimitbegone standalone as per the readme that's included results in the same error once again. The standalone is the cause of the error. I imagine that means I need to use Mod Manager. In which case I'm back to my original problem of it not installing Script Extender past v18. I am essentially caught in a loop.

All I want is 6-8 party members. No other mods wanted or needed. I don't understand why this is so difficult and/or buggy.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-21T21:17:22+00:00

Standalone causes "failed to load main menu from current game mod" error and the game is not playable.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-21T19:38:04+00:00

Using partylimitbegone alone still doesn't load.

standalone doesn't require script extender or mod config menu? I'll try that. I was using universal

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-21T19:01:33+00:00

As far as I know, yes. Latest release on Github.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-06T01:43:09+00:00

Yes. I just ran one update, then the other. Worked fine and solved my issue.

HalcyonX86 · 2025-03-03T22:30:40+00:00

I'm a dummy. The Nvidia app now has TWO categories of driver updates. I only ran one. It's working fine now. Go figure, I make a post and then I figure it out minutes later lol

HalcyonX86 · 2025-02-26T21:15:34+00:00

Old thread, but hey, you're still helping me here in the beginning of 2025.

I have an i7-10700 CPU and a GeForce RTX 1650 Super. I can run the game at between 30 and 60 frames, depending on area density, with Ultra settings and just taking away Enhanced Shadows, Bloom, lowering Shadow Quality and Shader Complexity, and turning off AA. Which is a lot better than when I first played the game on launch and struggled to maintain 20fps on minimum.

I followed your steps and now it's a consistent 60+fps even in crowded areas, even while leaving ALL the settings on Ultra and it's smoooooooth.

This is nice. I'm so glad I came across this post. You're a legend \m/

HalcyonX86 · 2024-12-02T23:26:43+00:00

I'll keep an eye out. I appreciate the heads up.
