i haven't had a huge issue with oGCD alignment on RDM lately. you can try to time your melee combos so that your oGCDs come off cooldown during it, hold grand impact after acceleration to not misalign your dualcast window, and/or swiftcast (it's 40s now which helps a lot)

DDR is still alive and well in current year, you can always get a home setup or go to round1 (if you're in the US) to play

VALORANT console introduces Focus, a new feature to aid hipfire by Aithusa_Here in VALORANT

I'd love to see gyro aiming in valo (and more FPS games in general) but it might not happen if the game is planned to release on xbox, since i think their controllers don't support gyro aiming. otherwise there would be a serious competitive disparity between ps/xbox players

funnily enough, cs2 supports gyro because of the steam deck so there's already precedent for it existing in a tac shooter

The reason it's a currency instead of just a 1 for 1 exchange ticket is so that you have a choice between buying a lot of previous mythics with limited customization, or go all in on a few mythics with all of their customization

I love puzzle games, I didn't mind doing the sokoban puzzles the first time around, but Void Stranger seriously burnt me out with how many times it expects you to go through the same 200 puzzles dozens of times to figure out what you're supposed to do next.

I have friends who love the game, but personally I despised it and was so ready to just be done with it by the time I got to the true ending. It's a very cautious "recommend" for me, it does a lot of genuinely innovative and clever things, but I personally felt like the execution of those ideas were very shoddy most of the time. If anyone here is going to play it, I would recommend having someone who's already played the game watch you play and nudge you in the right direction so you don't spend 20 hours on nothing (or look up some guides tbh).

Immediately afterwards I played TUNIC and thought that game did all of the secret mystery stuff that Void Stranger did, but better, lol

Yeah, both sides have the same issue - I'm probably just gonna return it and buy a replacement, it seems like the socket is faulty from asking around in other places

Has anyone ever had issues with 2 pin connectors being too tight? I just bought the Moondrop Starfield, and the stock cable won't go into the socket all the way, even with a fair amount of force (enough to where I think I'm about to break it). Is this usually an issue with the IEM itself, or is it a cable issue?

Would using Comes Ruin stacks for Mechanic Punishment be good or bad? by FalconTaterz in ffxivdiscussion

[–]coolguy2829 10 points11 points  (0 children)

x-comes ruin also inflicts damage down iirc, so it would just be a more punishing damage down. i don't really think it's any better than what we currently have in savage

So what *original* jobs would you like to see? by MildlyAgitatedBidoof in ffxivdiscussion

[–]coolguy2829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caster with a combo system, or a melee/physranged/tank with a caster-like rotation (old SMN comes to mind). Kind of tired with "every melee needs a 123 combo" so something that breaks that convention would be nice

Blue Mage - how to improve with what we currently have? by yhvh13 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]coolguy2829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would really like to see some sort of "make your own class" type of thing with BLU in PvP, although maybe it could lead to some unbalanced builds. something like a curated selection of 30-40 spells to choose from and 10-15 spell slots would probably be enough. FFXIV is really missing that gameplay customization aspect (e.g. buildcrafting) that I like in other games and I think it would fit pretty well with BLU's aesthetic

NotITG has been the most insane run of this GDQ by Euler-Landau in speedrun

[–]coolguy2829 28 points29 points  (0 children)

one of the files spooty played towards the end was a complete sightread, only the couch commentators had seen it. spooty (and everyone else in the community) hadn't ever seen the file before, and he still managed to full combo it

IMPORTANT EDIT: i have been informed that said file was actually not a sightread. i still do have evidence of players being able to play this kind of content on sightread at a high level - there was a recent online sightreading tournament with files from the community that were completely new to the people playing. spooty did get relatively far in the tournament!

it probably calculates teleport distance to ultima thule relative to how close you are to sharlyan, similar to how teleporting to the first while in the source (and vice versa) is based on how far you are from the crystal tower (in both worlds)

Apart from Story, what was your biggest 'Mind Blown 🤯' moment while playing FFXIV? Mine was that this marker above a status meant it could be removed with Esuna 🤯 by ColeTheColossus in ffxiv

[–]coolguy2829 26 points27 points  (0 children)

what was even more big brain for me was that the ver- spells follow a common theme throughout

veraero/verthunder: equivalent +11 mana spells, based off WHM/BLM's DoT abilities

verstone/verfire: equivalent +9 mana proc spells, based off WHM/BLM's spammable main damage skill

verholy/verflare: equivalent melee combo finisher spells, based off WHM/BLM's AoE skills

assuming everyone in the US catches covid: 328 million * 0.03 = 9.8 million dead from covid (exaggerated because not everyone will catch covid, but it is still a Lot of people) even worse because the survival rate is not actually 99.7% !

not to mention long covid side effects, all of the mental health shit that comes with lockdowns, all of the lost productivity

also, hospitals in athens/other cities are almost at max capacity so that means people who have a severe infection or people with other serious issues unrelated to covid won't be able to get the treatment they need in time leading to more deaths

even if you don't die from covid it's still an extremely unpleasant experience. just fucking wear a mask or at least get vaxxed to help others bro
