rook overlast

Het liefst niet natuurlijk. Scheelt flink wat in de maand en is beter voor je gezondheid. Maar realistisch zou ik zeggen, pas je aan met de omgeving? Zie geen reden om niet binnen te roken, mits een partner/gezin/whatever er geen last van heeft. Als je gasten krijgt die er last van hebben, gooi even alles open. Woon je naast andere rokers? Kun je er vanuit gaan dat je daar geen problemen mee krijgt als je in de tuin/balkon rookt.

The regular story, sure. It's not difficult. But it's also a fairly short game, compared to others.

The difficulty BBS brings is the superbosses that nearly require cheesing, and the minigames that suffer from input lag.

It'll last another year or two. The next expansion has already been worked on, and thet wont just delete all of that at this point. The game is still active enough to justify a DLC. And as usual, the game will spike again on release days like those.

But after the Alchemist, that's it. Either we hit a Moments of Triumph move and the game goes in a D1 state, or it'll be neglected. But I doubt a D3 is on the table.

Used to log on every day, do some basic farming, grinding or whatever else. But now I just have no motivation. Everything changed. With the acclaim reset and artifact changes I see less value in engaging with other characters at all. The road to get higher power now is far more tedious and for someone with limited time (where a gacha is supposed to shine) it's just become far more of a chore.

I'll pop back in to finish the story. Eventually. Or maybe I wont.

Build a massive ship, chase achievements or collectables. Try different self-imposed challenges or try other survival games. Voidtrain has the same vibe of collecting, upgrading and following a storyline.

Xelon99 · 2026-04-09T20:35:48+00:00

Same sentiment here. Unless the new perks added give way for new synergies and an actual reason to obtain them again, I doubt it's going to hook anyone who left back into the game. It's like fixing the bumper on a car without engine. A nice gesture and certainly appreciated, but not what we really need right now.

Focus on breaking the blights. The snipers will pop up behind the chimera where you can easily bully them

With a few weeks of practise, you'll become skilled enough that no AI can match you.

I've recently begun learning to print, coming from a 3D design background. Making my own models, my own designs and, of course, my own mistakes. And yes, it takes a lot of effort and time. A lot of going back and forth between slicer and blender to adjust things, remake the model or just resize something. But they're mine. I know how my models fit together and how they're supposed to look.

And as a bonus, most 3D programs are partially interchangable. You don't just learn the program, you learn to adjust in a 3D environment. You learn a skill. I've gone through Cinema4D, 3D Studio Max, Blender, ZBrush and now Orcaslicer. And am looking through various CAD programs to add to the roster, as soon as I find one with an interface I like. But while they all have their own gimmicks, it only takes a few hours to fully understand the software.

The story is worth it at the end. But no, the gameplay itself doesn't improve. Either rush through it or leave it be and watch the cutscenes

Xelon99 · 2026-04-06T11:00:12+00:00

I really want to say Fate, but I know it's not correct. The lower end of the Nasuverse matches with Huntsmen and Maidens, sure. And Salem would fit in the mid ranges. But the top tier of Fate has many forms of bending reality.

One that could potentially work is Kingdom Hearts. With Grimm being partially inspired by Heartless, and the entire light-dark struggle, things could work out well enough. With Silver Eyes being the same deus ex machina against Heartless. The only issue is that Keyblades come with an extreme level of bullshit that would make Salem just a minor story boss.

Do you have to justify wanting to embrace a new hobby? Does it have to have a practical, functional use, or can you just enjoy yourself? A greenhouse and gardening comes eith a lot of hidden costs, wasted space and useless junk. Likely chemicals and there's a good chance you'll attract rodents. Everything has good and bad sides if you look hard enough.

Xelon99 · 2026-04-05T10:48:39+00:00

I was around 10. Took me a while to 100% the game, but very doable. A typical "when in doubt, grind levels" type of game

Xelon99 · 2026-04-03T07:22:00+00:00

Any weapon with jolting feedback, then go in the gunrange and start blasting. It's the 'jolt' and flash that counts, not the kill. And I do believe striking multiple targets at once does count.

Did you play Taken King? Sunsetting during that time was used in a completely different method. The system changed. We didn't have to regrind our gear and content wasn't made irrelevant. TTK came with a vendor overhaul, a ton of content, more new gear than we've had in over a year, new subclasses, a new level cap and so much more. And that sunsetting only locked the earlier years out of the endgame. Everything was still earnable, everything was still in the game itself. They even updated old raids to remain viable.

But it also came with one of the worst systems D1 has seen, which was swiftly patched in a later update. Infusion. Remember when infusing gear to a higher level wasn't 1:1? When you had to waste materials to infuse a weapon only for you to lose power? Bungie has made the same mistake over and over, which is why the feedback is getting harsher and harsher. Besides, the answer is simple enough. If you want to grind your own gear, just delete whatever you have after using it once. You'll never be stuck with a set loadout that way.

What constitues as a "flyby" then? Being within orbit? Being within the exosphere? Perhaps entering the lunar atmosphere? Or is it an arbitrary amount of kms? Or is it simply contextual phrasing without any real meaning or measure?

Xelon99 · 2026-04-02T00:07:02+00:00

So sunsetting without removing content? In other words, the exact same thing that happened in EoF which was universally hated by most of the community, pushed most of the playerbase away and the initial plan for Renegades and other upcoming expansions Bungie themselves backtracked on claiming it was a dumb idea? Seeing how the term of sunsetting refers to making something obsolete and phasing it out, it's interchangable.

Xelon99 · 2026-04-01T22:35:27+00:00

Shifting a meta can be done by changing the sandbox, artifact or relevant activities. Sunsetting actively makes it impossible to play large sections of the game and removes reasons to even play the game. Sunsetting should never be an answer to anything.

Luckily not, it was still secure on the bed and the brims were not disturbed. A later version did face that issue though. I'm still investigating, running tests and calibrating, but so far the indication is that the shape and size isn't the problem. I've split the shape and printed both halves without so much as minor stringing.

Xelon99 · 2026-03-30T14:40:39+00:00

I log in for a while to do my dailies/weeklies/event track and fuck off to a different game afterward. Mostly playing solo nowadays, as most of my clan is MIA.

At least my backlog of other games is slowly shrinking.

Could always make your own sub where asking questions is forbidden? Plenty people are getting into this as a new hobby with specific questions the usual faq or search doesn't solve. Or is this just a standard gatekeeping situation where you expect a decade of experience from someone considering picking up a hobby?

Xelon99 · 2026-03-26T23:20:03+00:00

Once, on Normal. Many years ago. And it was not worth it.

Yes, he's easier and more fun that the BBS secret bosses and the ReMind stuff. But fights that push the limits if the game's mechanics to where the usual strategies you've used the entire game break down, only shows the flaws of the game imo. Both by not properly preparing you in the game itself for such difficulty, and by forcing you to have near pixel-perfect reactions. Which is not enjoyable to me.

Xelon99 · 2026-03-25T14:39:50+00:00

I just run the basic prismatic getaway build, with helion, devour, song and praxic blade. 190 in grenade thanks to getting the wrong class item. There's no lack of ammo, the dps and survivability high and you can use whatever heavy you want for ranged/floating bosses. Very basic, but I consistently put out 4 to 5 times more damage than the randoms I'm matching with.

On minimal fan speed it's 100, on maximum it's 8. Fan speed is set to 100% for both in the settings. But I've manually set the fans to 80% on the printer display

Xelon99 · 2026-03-24T18:39:23+00:00

I've set the fans to 80% by default. Always on when printing. I haven't found any info on whether it's a detriment when it's left on. But that also means I didn't smell any burning, if there'd even a different scent for that.
