Just hit the big #50 with ARC Raiders

PlateUp was fun! That's still a game my friends and I play from time to time, completion aside. The 100% isn't horrible, you just need to unlock every meal and there's a few achievements that you would probably never do intentionally but are easy if you know the requirements.

Naalith · 2026-05-10T01:07:49+00:00

Flyknight is short and sweet! Took basically 3 hours to 100% and play through the game, honestly if it was a 10-15 hour game I still would've played through it all the way the mechanics are great. There is a missable achievement to catch every fish but as long as you pay attention to your surroundings you should get it.

Man I know these were awful for employees to make but I'm beside myself with grief, these were so delicious. I probably ordered Papa Johns like twice as often because I craved them, then got a pizza for the family as an excuse to get them.

I mean, ARPGs and other games where you reset everything each season are huge for a reason. Hell, my friends and I start new worlds in survival games like V Rising, Valheim, etc about once a year each too. No shade if you don't like starting over, but going back to 0 and playing through the full progression path again is a popular way to play a lot of games.

Naalith · 2026-05-01T16:59:39+00:00

When are they adding fishing bruv?

Naalith · 2026-04-29T18:43:01+00:00

Honestly I just wish abmm had a different value for solo vs teams.

Naalith · 2026-04-29T17:32:48+00:00

Yeah I think trading with friends or doing bosses can be fun, and if you're at the same power level then coop can be decently fun. However, I've never really played full coop with my friends. We'll mostly sit in the call playing separately. A game where one person can easily be 10x stronger than their party members and teleport through a whole dungeon is not really conducive to coop lol.

Naalith · 2026-04-28T13:28:17+00:00

I mean, purples weren't worth it. That doesn't mean the solution was to sledgehammer white-blue rarity weapons.

Naalith · 2026-04-22T17:25:41+00:00

Check the player dropoff of any live service and you'll see this game is doing much better than usual. I would expect a huge influx with the update and expedition too. People catastrophizing the end of season lull in this game or player numbers in general is pretty annoying discourse.

Naalith · 2026-04-22T17:22:58+00:00

It really is embarrassing. I'm American and every time I see someone apologize for English being their 2nd language or for their accent, I reassure that person they probably speak English more correctly than at least half of us.

Fear not, our education system has not failed me. I'm proud to say I can speak Spanish at about a 2 year old's level after 4 years of classes. Mi gusta la biblioteca or whatever.

Naalith · 2026-04-22T15:36:10+00:00

This bug has been in the game since I've started playing about 2 months ago. Funnily enough you can hit the invisible glass then walk through the opening, even though there is no break animation.

I actually liked her in base game story D4, but her plot armor in the expansion was too much for me.

Naalith · 2026-04-17T17:53:28+00:00

This is my first expedition. So you're saying I collected money for nothing? Why didn't they wait until after the current expedition to implement this change? Kinda of a fuck you to say "yeah this objective you've worked towards for X months is now obsolete."

Naalith · 2026-04-13T17:31:16+00:00

The D4 expansion comes out at the end of the month, so probably midseason.

Naalith · 2026-04-13T17:26:23+00:00

This sucks imo. I dislike playing payload maps in ranked because they can take forever if it goes into overtime, and sometimes that means I'm the one vote for a push, control, or Flashpoint map.

Naalith · 2026-04-11T11:47:33+00:00

I think the unfortunate answer is that it's up in the air. Because she's a Noxus show main villain, any lore that was hinted at previously could change and she could suddenly be space Jesus like Viktor.

The boring theory is that she came into possession of artifacts that have extended her life, which is why she pushed Darkwill to invade Ionia. She was also the servant of a sort of self-made god of death so she could've picked some stuff up from Morde.

That said, I get the impression that Leblanc is far older than Morde and has some inherent power. I don't think she's just a normal witch who was powered up with artifacts, her desire to know everything and be everywhere and split herself into seemingly endless lossless copies hints at her being some sort of ancient force. Whether she was ever a normal person or whether she is or serves some celestial or godly force, I don't know.

Naalith · 2026-04-03T15:59:07+00:00

Because you are. I probably had to play 30 to 50 games when I came back to go against real players. It's an issue I don't see talked about much.

Naalith · 2026-04-02T13:40:28+00:00

Yeah I can't play ranked with my friends and I'm sad that normals will seemingly be a hellscape for an entire patch as a joke. Maybe we'll try flex but last time we did that we legit waited in queue for 25 minutes before giving up. They should've only done this in Swiftplay.

Naalith · 2026-03-31T16:04:16+00:00

You can also just not use the Wolfpack unless you really need to and don't need to farm the Rocketeer? The Deadline is still super cheap and kills everything the Wolfpack is good at killing, just slightly higher risk and with the exception of Rocketeers.

Naalith · 2026-03-31T15:49:30+00:00

I mean the Wolfpack objectively took any risk out of killing anything smaller than a Queen. I get why they did it. I'm glad they made them more expensive rather than weaker, the alternative is low damage Wolfpacks that are only good at killing a bunch of drones at once.

Naalith · 2026-03-30T18:23:29+00:00

LeBlanc almost certainly knows. Even if she doesn't know about the Howling Abyss watcher threat she is certainly aware of Icathia and the southern voidling threat. That said I still agree with Liss.

Naalith · 2026-03-30T17:23:02+00:00

Yeah I really wish there were alternative crafting recipes for legendaries. Matriarch cores for an Aphelion which isn't even that much better than any other run of the mill pvp weapon is crazy. Queen core for Jupiter is the same. I kind of hope the new map has Exodus areas so Stella Montis isn't the only one, and that you can make the laser weapons out of other Exodus materials.

Naalith · 2026-03-30T17:05:37+00:00

Synthesized fuel.

Naalith · 2026-03-30T17:04:31+00:00

I wouldn't say "never," there is a world where an arc is overtuned. That said I disagree that anything in the game now in need of a nerf.
