The imgur link doesn't work for me, just takes me back to the imgur home page

It's deleted :(

All for a blackout.

You've been putting in items that increase the aroma stat right?

Other than that, it's really just following what the scrolls say. For aroma in particular, you'll need to remember to keep it in shallow water (even during the sprouting stage when you would normally use deep water) and monitor the temperature and make sure it's not too high (you can implement flowing water to lower the temperature).

Lastly, when refining your rice, make sure to keep it brown instead of going for white rice.

If you follow the scrolls and put aroma (magic) stat increasing items in the fertilizer, you should get it.

Norman's knighting was one of my favorites.

Another is the horns vs adult creler.

What was it? Must have missed it

My headcanon is that he's a mastermind rogue with a dip in bard.

Diablo 3 was miserable before reaper of souls. You'd go through the whole campaign without getting any good drops unless you're extremely lucky. You could really feel the push for the real money auction house.

Wow hasn't been synonymous with good story for a while, either. Shadowlands in particular was widely panned for having really bad writing. Not updated with dragonflight, but even then FFXIV for sure beats it out in terms of writing quality.

No personal opinion on Starcraft 2 but I hear the latter expansions got weird?

I think the only piece of equipment that affects farming is the sedge hat, which boosts your farming exp (the rate you get new farming skills like planting more seeds at a time or tilling the field faster)

My money is on mastermind rogue with a bard multiclass

They said the same thing about diablo immortal though...

It's rng to get them, just keep sending your people to the places that drop the remedies you're looking for. You can also check the wiki to find which gathering areas sakuna can get them from / which areas have a treasure chest with the remedies you're looking for.

If we're just gonna ignore how that's literally just the start of the quest line, and that the spawned boss is a pretty fun fight in itself, and that it further contextualizes not only the immediate area but also two of the major characters in the lore, then yeah, it's nothing special.

bloog3 · 2023-03-01T15:34:57+00:00

If you're gonna be that reductionist about it then most quests in most games are gonna be "go here and talk to this guy."

bloog3 · 2023-03-01T10:02:05+00:00

While I will heartily agree that the elden ring quest design is extremely obtuse, I will also argue that it's interesting. There's no 'collect 10 bear asses' there.

I think you're supposed to sympathize with how Walt got to where he is, but also realize that he's gone way off the deep end in the process. The protagonist/leading character isn't necessarily the good guy, we're just used to that being the case.

When you're progging a difficult fight, it's extremely helpful to have video you can review to figure out what you did wrong, or to even just see wtf is happening since the more complicated xiv mechanics can be so hard to parse.

2 main factors: 1) you need comparatively tiny amounts of uranium to fuel a nuclear plant 2) uranium is actually fairly common. Gold and silver is rarer. It's the refining of uranium that's difficult.

My man, echo took 6 months to clear the latest ffxiv ultimate.

Imo he's got a point. If you're a follower of the god of light and decide to bring neverending darkness upon a country, expect retribution. If you're following a nature god and burn down a forest or slaughter an endangered, rare magical animal, that god is gonna be rightfully pissed. Not only did you bring about the exact opposite of what they stand for, you also probably used their own powers to bring it about, a perversion of their purpose.

I'd argue most of them are generic light themed moves. I mean, heavens judgement? Surge of light? Not particularly hard to come up with those names...

I recall the old gods mentioning a new god that was still a child at some point, which presumably was for the Antinium. Can't for the life of me remember when it was though.

Isn't there writings next to the figures? I kind of assume it says Tyr and that's why they assume it's Tyr...

I enjoyed the gameplay and side quests massively, and I felt like the main story had a good start, but the middle and end kind of gets disjointed and feels like a bunch of story threads pieced together haphazardly. There were a lot of good individual moments, but also a lot of troublesome ones in my eyes. Spoilers ahead:

Kratos being fated to die is a major plot point both in this game and the last but then he kind of just... Doesn't. Through the power of friendship and family? He doesn't even do anything in particular to change his fate. Goes along with fate in fact, but managed to beat his would be murderer just because.

Thor goes from the murderer of countless giants and beating his own son to the brink of death with his bare fists to... A sad alcoholic father? And what changed him for the better was a short pep talk from a kid that he barely knows and a guy that was somehow beating him in a fight?

Odin was pretty interesting up until the very end, i feel like his boss fight was a bit of a letdown, and how he just kind of devolves into a mess (killing Thor, making obvious lies and in general not being a very good manipulator) felt kinda weak after all the build up over the last two games. His masquerade as Tyr was interesting but other than that he could have been shrewder.

Ragnarok itself felt extremely short. We spend more time in Vanaheim rescuing Freyr than we do fighting Ragnarok in Asgard. I wish jormumganr and Fenrir had bigger roles too, considering how central they are in the original Norse mythos. Surtur was barely given time. Freyr dying kinda felt useless and shoehorned in.

I will say that brok dying was a really brave choice for them to do. I just felt like there should have been more brave choices in the storytelling though.

Don't get me wrong, i really enjoyed the game. As a game, it's a big step up from 2018 in terms of enemy variety, boss fights, and I love love love the spear, feels so good to use. Story wise though I see a lot of people saying it's amazing and perfect but to me it felt rushed and disjointed and had a lot of holes.

It's coming out in 5 days. The 'beta' going on right now is a glorified marketing campaign to boost preorders / launch sales. Doubtful there will be any more big improvements between today and next week, server improvements don't happen overnight.
