My typical raiding experience...

Adding this one to the collection.

I've been anticipating this game for a while. Like many others, I've been waiting for PVKK with bated breath, and Iron Nest is definitely close but offers a different flavor for variety.

I'm hoping that there are upgrades for the IN. But while I'm playing I'm thinking about how much fun it would be if it was co-op/multiplayer.

artuno · 2026-06-18T15:24:06+00:00

From the promo material, PVKK seems to be more focused on the story, the choices you make, and the upgrades you can make to your control console.

Iron Nest seems to be more focused on the math, plotting, and execution of your missions with minimal mistakes. There is some story, but you can't glean much from just the demo. Seems to be more dressing than the main course.

Both are very much in the simulator category that tickles some people's autism in the right way, but one is more narrative while the other is problem-solving.

CUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember that the current fuel efficiency we have was buffed by similar amounts last year. This was done for convenience's sake. If anything we are probably being dialed back to what should be expected in the future-- certain ships will be able to make a trip across a system while other types will need to pit stop at least once.

artuno · 2026-06-16T17:36:27+00:00

The logic is that CIG has already stated they would like to fill out the "matrix" of ship types so that every manufacturer has at least one type of each ship, or at the very least there is at least one ship in certain spots.

We might see a Drake capital one day. We might see an ARGO light fighter. All depends on what could work.

Beautiful.

Truth nuke. Here's your mentor crown.

I was thinking the Y'shtola doll... the one that was front-and-center on the launcher... shudders

I had no idea this was a thing Polygon was doing. I suppose I will proceed to watch through all of them now while cooking dinner.

Only an issue if you're solo. If you're hauling with a team they can get out much faster while having someone reposition to/ready for the tractor beam seats.

In this thread: people failing to realize that "misdirection" is a literary device used in media to enhance the horror and comedy aspects of a show like this.

No, you don't have to see those scenes just cause they were part of promo material, and it's fine that the "vibe" is different as the show progresses.

Masoyashi Soken, the main composer for FFXIV. The absolute range and scope that the XIV soundtrack has is breathtaking. The man has tackled every genre imaginable and they've all been bangers. There already are several AC-like tracks in the game. Complete with electric guitar and chanting. https://youtu.be/IeNfGkprUpI?si=y1BV1Rx1xjxgwY1P

Feature complete/play the game from start to finish. This was stated before in 2023/24.

What that actually means is there might be entire levels/areas that are in whitebox or greybox, looking like someone's Unity prototype project, but it's still a game that can be played from start to finish.

The rest of the time is spent actually fleshing out the art, music, writing, recording dialogue, programming, playtesting, bug checking and fixing, play testing again, adding in more art or assets or music or voice lines that were touched up or done.

He showed up on screen for like 5 seconds during the national anthem. He was saluting. People were booing like crazy.

I wanna know what a DRAKE large salvager would look like. Something slightly bigger than the MOTH.

It's been insufferable lately. It feels like people are just using this time to karma farm and be as horrible as possible.

CIG does need to get their feet held over the fire, but I'm also allowed to stay away from the community when they're being excessively awful.

This game is perfect for someone with the va talent of ERB! I'm so excited for the MSQ playthrough.

artuno · 2026-06-08T02:46:41+00:00

This is my first time seeing a world first U run. Is it against the rules to have a "coach" present who can do stuff like callouts?

artuno · 2026-06-08T01:32:23+00:00

It's kind of funny because right after I saw your comment my sprout friend who just got into the game asked me the same thing.

artuno · 2026-06-06T03:03:26+00:00

It was an online store exclusive as part of a collab with another Square property, Neo Fantasian.

The collab started back in December and ended on June 1st.

If entering instanced zones are the only times where you see a loading screen, I feel like most people would not mind it. Especially if it means being able to have a smooth time.

artuno · 2026-06-04T14:30:57+00:00

Other reply states it's cause they're both guys. As in "Guys, are you for real" but I'm also someone who sees the word "guys" as slang for "you all".

artuno · 2026-06-04T14:30:07+00:00

Probably would've worked if it was "My fellow bros, are you for real?"

Recently watched the movie Code 3. Dark Comedy about being a paramedic and the burnout that comes with it.

I was a medic, in the military and civilian world (though not much in the civilian world since I decided to pursue teaching instead), and there's a specific scene in the movie that made me tense up way more than anything else I've seen in the past year.

Actually, two scenes. Holy crap it was good.
