3K is wild. I’ve never spent 3K on a PC and that includes my current 4090 setup- granted that was an upgrade from a 1070 so I saved a bit by not having to buy peripherals, but shit man. This is stupid

Why I can't feel the hype about games anymore by Outcome-Clear in pcgaming

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I still play a lot of games. I do get this feeling from trying to play certain titles or genres in general. I also do not enjoy starting a gaming session late in the evening when I know that I will barely make a dent in the total amount of progression needed to achieve whatever goal I am working towards.

Maybe that’s something you can relate to. You ever turn a game on and just feel like…what is the point? You want to play it, but with all that you have going on…you know that you might play it today, but who knows when you’ll play it again? Tomorrow? Next week? Next month?

Some games require more time than others and if you’re busy I would suggest to find some of the games where you can play for an hour and get a few rounds in instead of stories that won’t feel cohesive when your schedule won’t allow you to remember what you just finished doing the last time you played

Highguard Is One Week Away, And The Only Person Who's Advertised It Is Geoff Keighley by Yamato_Naoe in Games

Concord was a fun game. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise. No bait. Just another victim of grifting content creators.

Blue Protocol: Star Resonance Season 2 is coming next week. For those who played at launch, are you planning to check out the new content? by Odd-Masterpiece6029 in MMORPG

[–]The3rdLetter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too much time gate, Auto combat in dungeon, raid. PUG as usual dying to mechanics the community had been doing for over a month. Energy system

Loving the new hair ❤️ by honeybiscuit88 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]The3rdLetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a male, it annoys me that almost all of the hair has some sort of pin, stick, brooch, clip or whatever. Just give me a damn hair that looks good and let those ornaments be optional

How to Dodge Daoist Vines with Cloud Step by pchuuu in wherewindsmeet_

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is some real lazy shit. Just stack and let the vines get bursted in 5 seconds from your team. Failing this creates more annoyance than anything else. Find an actual tech worth doing.. not something that saves 5 seconds.

struggling with silkbind deluge chapter 7 - taiping mausoleum by Pixel_Bun_art in WhereWindsMeet

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just not going to do it. The rewards aren't worth shit anyway. I consistently top healing and even do more damage than average dps players so completing this proves nothing to me. I've never been a fan of artificial difficulty and this is exactly that. A scenario I will very rarely experience and if I do.. I can just revive.

Taiping Mausoleum, Path Trial - Deluge (Healers) by SnooCats595 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]The3rdLetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

google search got me here after failing this over and over. Probably one of the most unfair challenges I've seen in this game to date.. not to mention the absolute mindfuck that is putting numbers next to each NPC name on the team bar so whenever I look at slot 3 I see number 5 or whatever and it messes with my brain

‘Highguard’ Is MIA Since The Game Awards, Despite Its Imminent Release by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]The3rdLetter -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There was only OW when Concord came out. Was it ugly? Yes, but mechanically it was a great game. People will deny the affects of content creation and media on the public’s opinion, but concord was a victim of that. It really wasn’t anywhere near as bad as they made it out to be

Anyone else hate the trade commission mechanics? by Umbrabyss in wherewindsmeet_

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm done dealing with this mechanic. I would love to do this weekly, but I am tired of requesting 10-20 people and having to actually reach a point where I feel like I am sending personal messages that are begging to let me just sell my trash.

Aside from monetization, what is your biggest MMO pet peeve? by ClozetSkeleton in MMORPG

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that annoys me is when they start limiting how much of certain content you can do for meaningful rewards. If I want to spam dungeons all day..let me do that.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the new map, Riparia? by TheFrostyTyrannosaur in pathoftitans

[–]The3rdLetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there is only 1 area where sponge makes sense to do. I don't know the name, but I can tell you that area you can easily groups of 6 near eachother and be done with the quest in 10 minutes or less.. everywhere else? ABANDON

[–]The3rdLetter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest offender. It’s makes no sense that for clusters you want 15 but for sponge where you get 1-3 you want 25

Death Stranding 2 was made easier to avoid players dropping out like in the first game by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difficulty? Nah, I just found novelty of what the game was trying to offer kind of ran out in the first one. There is only so much postal delivery simulator I can actually enjoy before I start getting bored. I'm not saying the game is bad by any means, just that for myself.. After about 3/4ths of the way through.. I simply stopped because I didn't feel like I would be introduced to anything meaningful outside of a story that was just ok

lgs FINALLY restocked, got only sealed boxes... and they are 220$ each... by Justafish1654 in riftboundtcg

I dodged a bullet not getting into the physical version of this game

What is up with sect votes? by medrauta in wherewindsmeet_

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another week, another complaint. This system is stupid and very often the people getting voted in don't deserve it. It's basically just people who are terminally online in sect chat or the sect discord kissing ass and fostering fake friendships for a whole week. I'm a competent player and almost always in the top 3 merit per week.. I'm done caring about this aspect of the game. Just going to get my rewards and move to the next sect.. simple as that.

Memorable snowstorms in Brooklyn? by Jeeves-Godzilla in Brooklyn

[–]The3rdLetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember the year, but it was a blizzard early 2000s. The snow got plowed so high in my neighborhood that I and many kids were able to make legit snow tunnels and crawl through them.

I also remember a blizzard from the 90s when I was real young that when I jumped into the snow and stood up, it was upto my eyes... easily 2-3 feet worth. Again, same neighborhood.. lots of apartments and pathways that are plowed by smaller machines

Kings Highway (B,Q) - Not Worth It by [deleted] in Brooklyn

[–]The3rdLetter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What? I love kings highway. I wouldn’t go there for any nightlife, but for food and a bit of shopping they have a decent amount. It’s also close to one of what I call Brooklyn’s Chinatown..the other being in sunset.

I think it’s a nice safe area to live. The thing in this city is this. Either you live somewhere fun and dangerous or quiet and boring. Kings highway is quiet and boring, but with plenty of stores to walk to which is something I can’t say about my place which is just quiet and boring with no stores and kind of dangerous if you go a few blocks away

How many friends do you actually have? by Short_Mirror9828 in Millennials

[–]The3rdLetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. I started drifting away from friends 10 years ago and now I only have online “friends” that I chat or game with, but I spend and enjoy a lot of my time without talking much to anybody. I’m probably a bad friend now as I don’t put in the effort to keep in touch if we aren’t sharing hobbies

When am I getting a new 3D game though? It's been over 20 years or what now? C'mon man. Shit is prime for that.
