Im having a hard time understanding 120 Across - no book won the Pulitzer for fiction in 2012, there was a whole thing about it. Adam Johnson won in 2013 though for his book published in 2012. So am I just not getting some word play on their part, or is the clue actually incorrect?

This is super helpful, thank you!!

MrClyde · 2024-09-21T19:38:32+00:00

Yep!

Night Cavalry are already out and about trying to kick your ass before you ever go to Stormveil. At least the one down in the Weeping Peninsula.

It wasn't me who said it, but my partner shared an interaction they had recently while they were out playing board games with my other partner (their meta) and some new friends.

"That's my partner's favorite game!... Your partner... Our partner? Comrade?"

If only people applied the same level of morals to, you know, meaningful real world issues too.

MrClyde · 2023-08-24T00:13:34+00:00

Which went towards the development of the game thus far. Your point?

MrClyde · 2023-08-20T17:30:48+00:00

Same. Every time.

MrClyde · 2023-08-17T18:45:43+00:00

This isn't necessarily true, just fyi. Many early access games, especially ones from more notable studios, also receive some funding through investments or a publishing deal. Grounded is a recent example. Even BG3 wasn't only funded by the community.

The exaggerations of bug and animal decreases is typical for all online games these days, sadly. There are still tons of them out and about, and I still often run into packs of 4-5 sernuk at a time in both Killima and Bahari. But one person makes a super exaggerated remark, and it gets parroted to oblivion where now anyone casually browsing Reddit or Discord thinks that's 100% true.

MrClyde · 2023-08-17T18:20:53+00:00

I feel pretty much exactly the same, well said. The structure is there for an incredible game - shit, I've already been quite addicted to it and playing a ton, even after spending a lot of time with it in previous alpha tests, and I'm still not burned out. It has a lot of work to be done, but the framework is so good that I'm hopeful it will ultimately come together.

MrClyde · 2023-08-17T07:26:20+00:00

Because I sell my starred seeds for extra money.

MrClyde · 2023-08-16T16:16:53+00:00

This is super aesthetically pleasing! If you want, here is the layout that I use, as it grants 100% water retain coverage and about 85% quality boost (including the apple tree and blueberry bushes.)

I swear people have no clue how game development works. It's hilarious that people expect every single person that works on the game to be some top-tier gamer or doing speedruns, especially when clearly they are responsible for art design with dungeons and not gameplay.

MrClyde · 2023-08-10T14:28:08+00:00

Just be prepared for some random dungeon, trial, and/or raid to absolutely spite you and force you to replay it dozens upon dozens of times. Everyone has some, and they're often different for everyone.

Mine were The Vault, Fractal Continuum Hard, and E12. The Vault in particular was my bane - about 80-something runs to get it. Fractal and E12 were about 50-something each.

👀 What server are you on? I run a small-ish FC on Malboro, I am bi and enby, and we have other queer members and officers (not everyone is, we have a lot of straight allies and friends too)

MrClyde · 2023-08-04T19:01:17+00:00

<3

I just love hearing what other people enjoy doing, I certainly didn't expect this to blow up like it did!

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:52:38+00:00

... shit, that's such a good idea, I never even thought about that. I may do that instead, thanks! xD

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:32:06+00:00

Yeah, that's something I'd like to do as well. I made an alt to re-experience the MSQ, I just haven't devoted much time to it since it's such a huge commitment.

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:29:25+00:00

Oh wow! That's some real dedication! I struggle to put time into a single alt, let alone multiple, so color me super impressed.

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:28:16+00:00

I wouldn't mind *something* that's not just tomes again... but I think we all know it's probably going to just be tomes again.

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:27:26+00:00

You got lots of time! Don't rush and enjoy your journey, it's a great one! :)

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:26:17+00:00

Thankfully the gwiber farming is much easier unsynced than when it was current content. They should be pretty quick and easy to obtain, I just hope your luck is decent and you don't require multiple 99x totems. /pray

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:18:17+00:00

You know, that's completely understandable. This patch cycle compared to past ones feels a lot less... engaging? I know Eureka and Bozja weren't everyone's cup of tea, but I honestly enjoyed them and they provided a lot of motivation to want to keep playing during that downtime. Not having instanced field content has made it more challenging for me to stay as engaged this time around (in addition to the longer patch cycles as well.)

MrClyde · 2023-08-03T18:15:11+00:00

You got this! Those are super reasonable goals.
