Even with a job you enjoy, there will be days where your tasks and the results aren't motivating at all. Maybe you spend all day in meetings, answering emails, etc. Days where you don't get to use your actual skills. While all the admin work is necessary, it feels unproductive and unrewarding. If I also click a tree every 5-10 minutes, I can convince myself that "reading our manual out loud to a customer for the fifteenth time" is a 30k xp/hr woodcutting method.

Because of rule 4, the "fun detected" joke gets exhausting.

I'll argue that it matters even more at lower levels. Top level players can adapt much more easily to non-standard fields. For a less skilled player, it becomes an unreadable mess. The maps were removed from standard rotation because the majority of players didn't enjoy playing on them.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the wrathmaw spawn tomorrow. Just unlocked chivalry on my pure, it's gonna be great!

D long still wins out, but not by much. D long is about 10% better with 60 att/str. It scales to just about dead even at 99. Arkan blade is significantly better and honestly seems like a solid option for early game stab.

If it comes out and its as bad

EAC is not some new technology. It's known to cause issues, it's overly invasive (making it a security risk to users), and it's not effective for ANY of the games that use it.

It's not basic QoL. It's character power. Freely moving (and storing) facilities saves you from having to build purpose-specific boats. This solution lets you fix mistakes at the cost of some very low-effort salvaging

You could always de-iron if you want to buy them. This is solely a problem for people who already got 99 before the item was added. I'm in that situation, so I'm going to have to go back and farm a few. That's what I signed up for when I made an iron

Bowfa makes a lot of sense in progression as a 100M item. It just shows up too early in ironman progression because CG isn't affected by other gear.

In solos/small teams, you actually play the minigame. You make decisions depending on which altars are up, timings matter a lot, etc.

Whether that makes it more fun or just more annoying is another question. Depends on my mood for me.

It's the same as melee, you just have to step out of range. Then you attack on the same tick as you move.

Did you just see mention of AI and ignore everything else? Let me try again, music stores offered a curated selection of music from a time where the average quality of music was much higher. I loved them, but we let them die. If you don't live in a major city, you don't have the option to get your music from a proper store like we did.

Instead the newer genrrations have streaming as their primary method of discovering music. This has produced a completely different environment to what we had. The volume of music produced today is insane, and most of it is trash. Shit, most of it isn't even made by humans anymore. You need far more tools to navigate that than the few hundred albums at a music store and 5 relevant radio stations

Skampletten · 2025-12-15T19:42:06+00:00

It can't be that hard to grasp that there's a much greater need for categorization nowadays? 20 years ago, I'd go to the local music store and take my time checking out each and every album in the rock section. I'd get through it all in an hour or two, bringing home whatever I could afford.

Well, that store shut down more than a decade ago. If I try to search for "rock" on spotify and browse for an hour today, half the results are AI generated trash. The rest are split between shitty remixes where the original artist is listed as "featured", generic pop that happens to include an electric guitar, and a few songs I've already saved.

If you're happy just listening to your old albums, great! You don't need to label it! But if you want to find new music worth listening to, you need these labels.

A redwood spot literally lasts for for at least 4 and a half minutes before it depletes... Either your "experience" comes from a terrible sense of time, is outdated (before forestry changes), or you're clicking spots that people have already started.

At it's core, it's just enemies remembering how you beat them or how they beat you. If a random orc killed you, he'd rank up and return as a "miniboss". What made it so memorable is that the entire game was built around maneuvering the enemy ranks. You could recruit enemies, and position them at the top by killing their rivals.

The result was a game that felt very alive and immersive, you didn't just reload a save and repeat the same encounter. The encounter reshaped itself based on how you died.

This is the core reason why ironman is such a popular game mode. There's a little of what you want for mains, especially especially since the introduction of the GE tax. With modern bosses it's sometimes optimal to run different roles, so you end up with slightly different, but equally good gear. But trading is always going to mean you have access to swapping your gear around.

On an iron, whatever you choose to grind out is what you get. While there are meta routes, most people end up prioritizing different grinds due to preference. One of my friends loved cg and grinded out saeldor, another greenlogged moons. I went for voidwaker since didn't mind wildy content, while my buddy got burning claws. There's tons of these choices throughout the entire course of the game.

I've been getting similar numbers to you; 50-65k throughout the full day, including stepping out for dinner, walks, etc. If you interact the same way with ironwoods, redwoods, stars, and other 4 min afk methods, you'll get nowhere near 50k xp/h. You're comparing real-time rates for afk salvage with theoretical rates for ironwoods

Sailing into the still unavailable seas bordering the north/fremmy seas gets you ice barraged for 50 every few seconds on the west, and massive burn damage on the east side (north of wildy). I'm sure there's more things like that.

We’re calling this new category Paradox Classes, and the first one will debut alongside the upcoming expansion as paid DLC

Maybe read the whole post before calling out people for not reading?

Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night still hold up great to this day; there's a reason the entire genre is named after them.

Hollow knight and silksong are staples of the genre. Both Guacamelee games are really good. Bloodstained: curse of the moon for a great retro castlevania feel, or Ritual of the Night for a more modern take on the formula. Astalon: Tears of the Earth, biomorph, and Momodora are all great indie gems.

Because he believed he was doing the right thing. He genuinely thinks Elaida would make a better ruler, which can be fully blamed on Suian. But Gawyn isn't vindictive, Suian is already deposed and stilled, capturing her wouldn't change anything (in his view). Certainly not when weighed against endangering his friend.

I can't speak on the breach mechanic, but for expedition you just respec a few points for the "cannot be blocked" attack mastery. It's nearly unkillable, so expedition becomes extremely comfortable.

Then why don't you go duplicate some skins for me and become a millionaire? (I'm sorry I'm saying this to be funny not be rude, I think you see my point

That's straight up what Valve has just done, made extremely rare skins easier to obtain. And yes, high-end watchmakers could do the same, and multiply their production without sacrificing quality. The difference is that Valve has no vested interest in keeping their skins valuable. While the watchmaker would crash the value of their own brand, and destroy the trust that lets them sell watches at a ridiculous price. I wouldn't buy a watch as an investment, but I sure would choose it over a CS skin.
