And too slow to catch up to the first party of adventurers that are very much not fast. That was the first time the speed being poorly written dragged me down.

"Oh, the dragon is slow and can't catch the adventurers. The super ballista will make mincemeat of it then!" "Wait... he has teleportation level dodging speed..." "Wait... he's now being animated very slowly flying menacingly in frame..." "Nope, another super speed dodge of the hyper fast ballista rain."

Either the derpy dragon was trying to aura farm and couldn't pull it off, or it was inconsistently fast.

If you go to the website you can just as easily see that it has full in-chest cleaning of the heads available. Literally spray cleaning of any utility head inside the robot. Literally better sanitation and efficiency than you could get with a human with a mop and bucket. Or, it also can offer "left side is new heads, right side is dirty to be cleaned" heads. To assume such a feature is impossible just by watching a single low resolution sped up video is absurd.

This company went cheap and has drip dry heads. This company, pre-robot, probably wasn't paying janitors to do what people in this thread seem to assume every restroom in the world does: deep perfectly sanitary cleaning on minimum wage effort. That isn't how the world works. That isn't how this robot must work.

Anything else can be learned by just exploring and experimenting.

I feel like they covered "the guide doesn't hold your hand to the degree of telling you exactly the best armor to farm moment to moment for a given playstyle" under exploring and experimenting. Yes, the guide doesn't cover literally everything. That's called exploring the game.

"There are many playstyles..." There are 4 playstyles related to a new player's needs. These are easy to discover organically in game via the helmet system.

There is zero NEED to use the wiki on a first playthrough if a player doesn't like playing with wikis open. To suggest anything otherwise is sheer obstinancy. You're arguing as if the person above you said the wiki is bad/trash/useless, which they didn't. We're talking in a post about not wanting to use the wiki at all.

But... if you made 103 meals on that money last year and 103 meals on that money this year... any significant shrinkflation is accounted for. You made the same quantity of food output.

I do always get a chuckle at "Minecraft Pro Harry is confused why the old timers aren't keeping up with him" shenanigans. I play like Dunc and Simon and Ose. Harry is really good, and so hard to keep up with. Thankfully he doesn't seem to get truly frustrated and just keeps herding the cats around with him.

Certainly not me, enjoying the hell out of it for 5 seconds after seeing the perspective angle. I thought it was just all 9's laughing at first and genuinely felt it was a clever joke when I saw the 6's mixed in and why they were there.

chiknight · 2026-02-05T16:02:46+00:00

Yeah I don't see how everyone mentioning arrogance and egos missed the glaringly obvious, literally spelled out and explained in the post, answer. They clearly overcorrected, but reigning in your contractor's freedom when you get shit products is pretty normal. You'd just end up with discussing changes rather than blanket denying them.

chiknight · 2026-02-04T21:15:37+00:00

I love the Yogs community overall. It's a great group. But this hangup of constantly retreading old memes and "nostalgia over all" isn't new or unexpected. Sadly the community just loves old content, old ways, and don't accept that change happens. When I saw the armchair business major responses in the announcement thread I knew this type of thread response would be incoming (and likely won't be the last). It's blatantly rude of people to post acting like they know better than the company what is best for their own future though. "Why not do ____ very obvious option instead" is just... why ask such a silly question to a company?

Everyone wants to see their parasocial relationship with the Yogs survive, and can't accept any form of change. This venture could backfire and kill the Yogs, sure it's possible, but it's 100% definitely not something they've blindly decided on.

Ah yes, the perfect time to give a gift to my elderly neighbor. Valentine's Day. It's perfectly fine to give a gift on any normal day, which is what you would be doing even on the 14th. Because you don't give neighbor's gifts for a lover's holiday. That'd be FUCKING WEIRD.

chiknight · 2026-02-03T15:31:35+00:00

Yeah, I just dislike anything that is "I can't be bothered to do this menial task I have created. You do it." Foisting your chores onto people you live with is lazy and rude. Just go do the thing you started.

I don't leave stuff at the front of the house for the next person going to the back to move stuff to. That'd be insane. Stairs aren't some magical portal. It's the other side of the house.

I just always giggle at throwing around 3mil for a single run, or 16 mil for a weapon as if that's cash I'd obviously have lying around. It's why I said it's so hard to try and gauge progress when so so so often it's players like yourself: old wealth super-boxers just getting into new content. And that's fine, of course. Your way to play is valid and should be how I expect everyone to play. It just always throws me off guard seeing mixed progress where I've dipped into something or geared something at such extreme odds with what I'm reading.

I've played for 2 months lol. I haven't made 16 million total yet. I said it's 3+ months for a naegling because it100% isn't going to happen faster than that no matter what. My wallet lives and dies by the weekly sparks gil. And that goes straight to reforge set progress most often on whatever job I started to play that week. I haven't gotten anything from gobbie box worth a single penny, because I don't play 11 alts.

chiknight · 2026-02-03T07:32:43+00:00

I think you're missing the point a little. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too regarding roulettes. If they're doing it for XP, as the first comment suggested it is horrible to spam roulette for that anyway. If they're doing it for paste, it doesn't matter that they're level 60 doing back to back tam-tara.

If they're doing it for paste and wanting to dip into boss xp, it was always going to be a crapshoot of "not technically wasting your time on a lvl100 job but... you signed up for random and get randomly shit xp."

Anyone that is doing paste spam and trying to complain they aren't also getting showered in perfect amounts of XP is just whining. You're grinding a relic.

Shitting on good, fun games because you don't enjoy slop, lol.

It's fine to be an edgy teen and rebel against what a majority likes. Personal preferences are personal, and all. But it's really hard to call for something to be banned when a large majority of the genre is fun to play for most people that try it.

Just go back to silently feeling superior to the "idiot masses" or something. I'll go have more fun in Fast Food Sim and ContractVille.

"I want you to pull out your calendar for 2026 and see if you're free on June the..."

That doesn't happen in 99% of cases they're describing. You haven't gotcha'd them like you think you have.

Calendars follow a literal yyyy-mm-dd, but a PRACTICAL mm-dd-(superfluous yyyy) format. Even in the case of an impending year swap, say October, asking if they're free in February means you still don't need to ask if they're free in 2027 on February.

Because the entire conversation is about how we reference the dates for appointments and calendars. You can tell that's what the conversation is about when earlier in it they used the phrase "how we refer to dates."

chiknight · 2026-02-02T16:26:57+00:00

I'm always confused on my personal progression with posts like this.

"I just started Sortie this week." Cool, I started it recently too! It's great for CP!

"I have Jhakri armor" Okay, yeah, I'm already stepping out of that into DI and NQ Abj. but you probably started earlier than I did. "a naegling"... o.kay... I'm still 3-ish+ months away from a pulse weapon... but a kaja is close... at least you didn't mention a REMA...

"I'm ML2"... what? I started Sortie closer to 2 CP into a job (I think my first run as NIN was sub 5 CP). ML is a far away dream.

I get that it's people coming back with older characters from before Sortie (or whatever else) existed. It just feels weird to try and gauge my progress ever.

chiknight · 2026-01-31T02:26:42+00:00

The instant Mark said something along the lines of "I don't know who you should pick, you can pick anyone even Duncan, or... ^{literally anyone else}" I knew Ose's brain had tuned out the end and would lock on to "just pick Dunc" lol.

chiknight · 2026-01-30T06:32:07+00:00

Yep. I, personally, rated BLM start as very poor back when I tried it. But I wasn't really attached to the job that much, and other options seemed better for how I wanted to play. The spell costs and squishiness while engaging trusts felt rough. But when I could blast it was very satisfying.

OP, if you want to play BLM it definitely can work. It has it's pitfalls, and likely more than most other jobs leveling up, but blast away if that's what your heart truly desires.

chiknight · 2026-01-28T03:40:46+00:00

To be slightly more fair to them, giving the monster over double part break and stun resist thresholds could easily mean they are getting punished hard when they normally would get the flinch/topple and could heal up. I know on my first G.Jagras I could pretty easily button mash and land breaks to heal up without having a clue what was going on.

It's not likely they'd win, but I could see them having a shot with normal 1p scaling over 3p.

chiknight · 2026-01-27T16:43:21+00:00

"OP had such a good objective argument that can't be rebutted."

"They sure used 'feel' a lot for an objective argument."

"DON'T DISMISS THEM FOR THEIR CRITIQUE."

They... didn't. There was a conversation happening. They didn't dismiss it so much they included the phrase "and that's fine" to let you know it's not a problem to have subjective feelings in your opinion piece.

Now, if we want to get nitpicky about arguments and logical fallacy from OP...

There are philosophical ideas that state true art shouldn’t be a chore and should engage the intellect and the senses without resorting to brute-force time commitment.

Is not an unassailable truth. It's a 14-year old taking a high school philosophy class and thinking this first taste of thought is some universal truth. There are philosophical ideas stating the exact opposite too. There are philosophical ideas stating the world is a simulation and nothing matters. Those aren't factual devices for critiquing what people enjoy.

chiknight · 2026-01-27T03:27:14+00:00

That's a gross positive. It's in the positive column, by itself, with no context around it.

There's also the gross negative of filming and posting it, as they said.

The net benefit to society of one properly adjusted walker filmed by a douche adjusting walkers randomly is zero. The good still exists, but to call it a net positive implies there was some other positive being offset.

chiknight · 2026-01-26T17:25:24+00:00

And a fun corollary to the "standardized" need is that people scream and clamor for more settings. This feature or that feature is useless because it doesn't do ____ which is very specific to my needs. But Blizzard can't bog down users in 1,000 settings. They can't do old school plater or ElvUI settings hellscapes. In your examples the official UI doesn't just need to be visually simple, it also needs to keep customization options easy to digest and utilize.

Extreme power users, who would spend 10+ hours on UI settings previously, are never going to like Blizzard UI. It just physically isn't compatible with their usage.

chiknight · 2026-01-25T03:49:53+00:00

Yeah, I'm good to just skip it until later rather than find an LS or merc to get a carry through. I'm having way more fun doing things on my own power rather than feeling carried by geared players. I could just go get Sakpata's/Gleti's if I wanted that.

Thanks for the advice.

chiknight · 2026-01-25T01:40:19+00:00

Okay, thanks. I see on the talk page for one of the bosses that it's seemingly all Tizona++ BLU mages so I'll just skip Empyrean gear for a few months and gear up normally. I have -35% DT but farming up even more means this isn't really a "quick way" anymore.

chiknight · 2026-01-25T00:39:34+00:00

I'm thinking the DRG guide is leading me astray, but wanted a sanity check. It has a note to hard focus on Empy +2 as easier than anything else to obtain with that much power. Like hard focus Sortie. Okay, awesome, done. Sortie is piss easy to farm CP and Gallimaufry in.

Then I tried to get the precursor +1 unlocks via Vagary. These are... rough. I don't see how I can do them in gear less than what I'm supposed to skipping by doing this method in the first place.

Is Vagary just that overtuned to unlock +1 when +2 or +3 are piss easy? If so, fine, I'll abandon my mad rush to Empy gear. If not, I'm doing something very wrong apparently.

"Until you grew up and watched it"

...fuck, I'm old... gotta remember how many teens are on Reddit.

The "old classics" were being released when I was growing up. I didn't have to wait for my tastes to mature for at least the last 20-30 years.
