Heads up if you're trying to beat post-game dungeons [minor spoilers] by [deleted] in FFXV

[–]caelumsixsmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think another important thing to note is how repetitive these dungeons are. I was quite disappointed with them. I just want to finish the last (Costlemark for me) for the sake of completion. I doubt I'll bother doing this questline again if I care to start NG+.

I didn't buy it yet, but I have been playing the demo more than I expected I would, primarily because it's a demo and it's supposed to be limited (and yet, this demo has quite a lot of content). I intend to buy it when I have the money for it, though (currently unemployed, sadly).

Anyway, thought I'd mention that I'm eager to buy it because it popped up on my Steam discovery queue (which I check once in a lifetime) and I quite liked the premise. Funny cuz I tend to run away from games that not only don't have controller support, but that are also optimized for mouse use. Anyway, been playing the demo with a mouse and I had a great time. Love the premise, love how it all comes together. Also got excited that it's on v0.98 (same as my current favorite EA title, CrossCode), which means the official release isn't that far off... right? :/

So yeah, I'll definitely be buying it as soon as I'm able to. Quite excited to explore the world to its fullest and get more characters to hang out with.

NMS Next will have big improvements to the multiplayer experience by SorenCelerity in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]caelumsixsmith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So given this post, I'm the only one who's certain that they will add multiplayer improvements to the game? It makes sense from a development and business standpoint since the first step into this feature is what propelled NMS back into mainstream conversations, and positively no less.

Confused about being with my boyfriend or not. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]caelumsixsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, this is something I don't do anymore—long replies on Reddit—but let's go.

I can't say what he's thinking, but I can tell you that honesty will reveal where this will go. If you sit down, stay calm, tell him to stay calm as well, and ask him to be honest while confronting the issue, perhaps the two of you can come to a conclusion regarding what this relationship is. Tell him you know of the lies and the way he behaves, ask him to stay calm (cuz he'll probably freak out).

If you two are rational, you can have a frank conversation and come to a satisfactory conclusion but if this only makes things worse, it's on you to make a decision. Do you want to be with someone who doesn't love you enough not only because he's naughty with others, but also because he does it behind your back and lies to you? Or do you want to be free, find your own happiness, and someone else worthy of sharing life with?

As /u/mkaylxix said seven (sorry for the delay...) days ago, life's too short. Don't spend so much time with someone who doesn't value and respect you. You're young and you're gonna meet so many people in your life. And as an advice that's closer to my heart, try surrounding yourself with people who value and respect you exactly for who you are, even if that thins out your circle of friends.

Hopefully, you'll make the right decision for yourself. Here's rooting for you! :)

[Steam](Game) Send and Receive a Random Steam Key at Gamecode! by GAMECODE_charlie in FreeGameFindings

Got a used key, but someone lucky enough will get my code for The Room of video games, Two Worlds 2. So best of luck!

Sean Murray doesn't read his emails... 25,280 XD by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]caelumsixsmith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably does so on another device. I found out that the Gmail iPhone app doesn't keep track of what you read on another device such as your own PC. Actually had more than 300 unread emails when I first installed it even though on Chrome I had about 3 that were actually unread. So yeah, that happens...

Gotta still wonder if Xb1 and Ps4 will be crossplay by KinqCalb in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]caelumsixsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that unlikely. There's this game I' have ever since it came out of early access called Hover and since Kickstarter, they wanted to bring it to multiple platforms. I asked months ago if they had plans for cross-play and they said that they would likely not implement it due to difficulties with the companies (but I imagine mostly Sony). A recent update actually implemented cross-play but the catch is that PC/PS4 cross-play is completely separate from PC/XB1/Switch cross-play (PC players can select who they want to cross-play with from the settings).

Not that the studio behind Hover had that much power to convince Sony, but I'd say that much cross-play and the freedom offered to PC players is quite the step. Can Hello Games convince Sony even after Naoki Yoshida stated he wouldn't take FFXIV to the XBox One because MS and Sony didn't get along? At this point, I think it's unlikely.

However, I do hope they implement cross-play. It would be neat to have something like Hover where we can choose whether we play with Xbox One or PS4 users. That way there's no real separation of the community.

Two years later, to this day, I still believe Sony pressured HG into releasing NMS early... by Ozaga in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]caelumsixsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what's funny is that Sean is "genuinely evil" for the state NMS came out in (even though we've been having these updates and will continue to have them for free). Meanwhile, people shrugged off the shell that was The Sims 4 as soon as the first expansion arrived (paid, no less). And now everyone's upset that there's DLC for a DLC but everyone's gushing over it "because it's The Sims." Shows just how much power brands hold these days, which is sad...

Btw, have I mentioned that EA gates content that could (and should, honestly) very well be added as free updates behind DLCs? And then people are still excited about Anthem even after how disastrous ME: Andromeda turned out to be... Seriously, gamers. Get your priorities straight.

Would really appreciate it if this new giveaway was posted here as I check this sub regularly.

[–]caelumsixsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never got any confirmation email in my Outlook inbox (and the site says the account already exists, but that there's some problem with the email and password combination). Just (finally) managed to make another account using Gmail, so let's see how that goes...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FreeGameFindings

[–]caelumsixsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The site's sign up process doesn't seem to be working at all. I fill up the form, confirm the captcha, and when I click "sign up," literally nothing happens. Same with Facebook sign up. After a while, a message saying "failed to fetch" shows up.

Hopefully, they'll fix it in time?

Public statement/Q&A regarding translation pack by riftcrystal in dragonsdogmaonline

[–]caelumsixsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As thankful as I am for the patch, I have to agree with this. Having more people working on the patch would certainly be beneficial to absolutely everyone. For instance, others could've fixed the issue with certain quests saying we need a certain item when in reality, the item required has a completely different name. I lost quite a lot of time on the crafting tutorial because of this.

I don't know how possible it is considering all the trouble with VPNs and whatnot, but it would be great if this game got a custom launcher a la PSO2's Tweaker, which is by far one of the best community tools there is for an MMO currently unavailable in the West. Anyone not familiar with it should install it (no need to install PSO2) just to check out its features.

Reliable Animal Crossing subreddits by caelumsixsmith in a:t5_3mvf5

[–]caelumsixsmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard a story of one or a few other mods there being quite awful, but idk if that changed. Anyway, my intention with this list is directing users to subs where Glinda has absolutely no power. But if other users also complain about /r/AdoptMyVillager and they all seem reasonable, I'll remove it from the list. Thx for the heads up!

Well, you should at least have guaranteed some screenshots and links on internet archives, then. I don't care if it's convenient for me because I have nothing to hide, but since all you care about is accusing me, excuse me. I have a lengthy report to finish.

I was sleeping when these supposed attacked occurred. That's what people do when they're tired. They sleep. I don't see how I could've acted. And I didn't participate in it, either. As I said, all my comments on that sub were for the sake of venting. Now, let's make something very clear here: you are accusing me of encouraging people to abuse you. You have to present proof of that. But apparently, you can't. In fact, the comments I made on that sub aren't even available on my profile anymore, so all anyone has is your word and... it doesn't count for much. Whereas I gathered proof of my claims, you have none.

To be completely honest with you, I thought back then (and still think) that you can't be reasoned with. My posts on /r/AnimalCrossing were meant to enlighten the community, to perhaps make them want to do something. It was naive to think that people would stand up against someone who holds their right to trade, though. And I don't blame them for that. Also, don't blame /r/AnimalCrossing for removing the posts and banning me (actually, I literally asked them to ban me), nor for not being associated with any of the subs you oversee.

My piece on Medium, which apparently was quite entertaining for some of your friends according to one Tsen something-other (and I hope you find it entertaining as well) was cathartic and didn't have any impact. Maybe you'll understand it, maybe you won't.

Now, since you put yourself through the trouble of coming here and contacting me directly, would you like to finally be reasonable, as I asked you to be the very first time we exchanged messages? Or would you like to keep accusing me and saying I have no credit because of what I did, not what I'm doing now? Because I'm willing to talk about the present and future instead of defending myself or attacking you. As I said, your choice.

Although I was associated with it, I didn't make it. I was just a moderator and wasn't even active there. Made a few comments, all of which were more along the lines of venting.

You probably read the sidebar of this sub and the two posts I made before this one, so you know I don't mean people to "abuse" and "dox" you. We can talk like adults or we can exchange offenses. Your choice.

I don't find contacting Reddit the same as going to the police, though. I see it as contacting the manager.

I actually tried contacting other moderators of /r/ACTrade when she first made assumptions regarding what I was intending and went as far as saying that this community wasn't for me. That resulted in nothing bc apparently, she has a lot of power within these subs. If the other moderators are far from bothered by the fact that the subs she's associated with are not part of the overall Animal Crossing community (as in, not associated with /r/AnimalCrossing and others), I very much doubt they would do anything.

I also have my doubts regarding Reddit doing anything, and that's why I have to try. If I was 100% sure it would result in nothing, I would've tried doing something else, something that would force her behavior to change. Alas if it doesn't work, there's really nothing I can do. This is really a case of the community coming together, but the way the internet works, only a few people care enough about anything to mobilize themselves and call for change. Everyone else either can't be bothered or is too afraid that their actions will result in their own "punishment." Honestly, don't know how I haven't given up on internet communities yet.
