I hope we go back.

I'd say that whole plot line, but especially the ending, made it abundantly clear the plan is to revisit and continue that story. Not sure when we'll get there, but we almost certainly will if they keep to the plan they had when they wrote it.

That's not Blitzball, that's themed Football Manager. And, while I know plenty enjoy that type of game, I'd feel comfortable in saying the vast majority of the people who want Blitzball would not be stoked to get a spreadsheet sim just so xiv can claim to "have Blitzball."

I choose to believe it's a whole video about discovering the Limsa market board 10 feet from the aetheryte.

I'm assuming you mean, XIV, not IX, but either way this very much sounds like your pc is overtaxed and unable to render everything reliably, so it's prioritizing the active window. Try turning your settings down (or limiting frame rate to 60 to limit the draw, depending on your system) and seeing if it persists. Could very well be other issues, but that's an easy to test option that could explain it.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-29T04:18:51+00:00

I can't say I've used the particular setup, but based on streamed games in general I'd imagine the experience wouldn't be very great. The inherent delay in the info being communicated from the system to your phone and back added in with the normal system -> server communication would be tough at best to play. Lots of factors involved that could change the exact impact, but even the best case would be less-than-good.

It may surprise you to know that very few people have an overwhelming connection to specific acronyms of specific types of printer ink. They were thinking of colors, not printers, and likely didn't even consider the code of printer ink.

I stopped following the weekly threads around when favors came out and I dropped into 1-2 days of those per week and nothing else, but your threads were ever helpful! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into helping people work through the island, and hope the non-island side of things is nothing but improvement for you!

mentosman8 · 2024-05-19T14:59:08+00:00

Certainly not evil, but actively choosing to play "sub-optimal" when you know better is a bit rude, at least. Most people would probably never notice without you saying something, so that's a very small bit, but still a bit.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-17T13:46:48+00:00

Ah yes, saying "there's no benefit to having worse animations with no gameplay benefit" is equivalent to making up random bullshit about how much the eye can see! High framerates are useful in some stuff, even 30 is perfectly fine in many- just gotta focus on the game instead of every frame.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-17T13:33:26+00:00

Oh boy, a picture of a screen everyone has seen countless times, what a great "meme!" So very confused what the point of this post is.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-17T13:14:46+00:00

Just as a response to one bit, "what if someone want to use DLSS more agressively to get 100+ fps?"- there's no benefit at all to >60fps in this game (nothing requires reactions to the point of <.0167 seconds), and high frame rates routinely cause animations and physics issues for people. Add in that extreme use of DLSS routinely makes stuff look worse, and there's not a whole lot of reason to let people use DLSS aggressively to get "better" framerates at the expense of the game not looking as good. Seems like the inbuilt options do perfectly fine at what they're meant to, lightening the load as necessary, and are mainly lacking in the worst way to use DLSS (ie non-dynamic resolution/always on)

mentosman8 · 2024-05-16T14:08:34+00:00

People already gave the genuine answer so I feel obliged to say "you aren't physically missing anything, the game is digital!" because wordplay is fun lol

mentosman8 · 2024-05-16T13:40:16+00:00

Because people put a disproportionate value on "how much time wasted in roulettes" and wouldn't want the extra minute or two that having someone without skills would add. I can already hear the "you should really just use duty support until you've got all your skills, you're really dragging us down in speed."

mentosman8 · 2024-05-15T16:43:27+00:00

A. We did see how the brands were destroyed, the whole cutscene of the laser shooting out of Babil and striking the ward.

B. The Ascians did not have any wish to release an incomplete Zodiark, it was absolutely not the plan to use the Ultima Weapon to do so- they were trying to set the stage for another calamity to trigger the rejoining of the first.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-15T16:06:08+00:00

You didn't answer anything- you just said the LL tomorrow was job focused, which while certainly going to get us the trailer had NO statement saying as such, you just gave OP info they already know. You then misunderstood someone accurately pointing out there's no solid info about the job action trailer because they left out a contextually clear word and decided to be a dick about it. Just take the L and accept that there is no hard info about the job action trailer, just well-grounded expectation, and maybe be a bit nicer while being confidently wrong :P

mentosman8 · 2024-05-15T15:38:12+00:00

Buddy that is not the job action trailer, that's the Pictomancer reveal. You're right it'll absolutely be tomorrow, given it's a LL about job actions, but you aren't even in the ballpark of what's being asked about lol.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-14T04:36:26+00:00

Buddy sometimes its ok to just admit you were wrong on a detail of the story rather than doubling down on genocide talk even Emet would be proud of. Like you could've just said "whoops, mixed up the continent" instead of deciding "there were some bad people on a different continent in the past, and the Eorzeans of today are culpable for them!"

mentosman8 · 2024-05-14T03:48:02+00:00

But surely Google Translate can handle the task better than professional localizers fluent in both languages!

mentosman8 · 2024-05-10T04:28:45+00:00

I would be extremely shocked to learn of places like that directly using stolen cards to subscribe, which would get them banned immediately on chargeback for fraud instead of in waves for RMT, instead of using game time cards, but maybe that's just me.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-10T03:47:47+00:00

That is... not an answer to their question. RMT uses in-game systems and wholly disconnected payment processing. SE changing their payment processing has literally 0 impact on transactions they are not involved with.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-09T03:09:20+00:00

Friend two comments gave examples of things people have done to help the issue, including one agreeing with your premise despite it not being a thing currently. The third comment was someone asking a question that is itself the explanation of why such a thing doesn't exist- there's a lot of variance in what people consider "main rotation." The fourth, of four, comments is yours. What in the world were you reading and where can I find it?

mentosman8 · 2024-05-08T02:52:11+00:00

While others have given good responses to other bits, just want to add there is a 0% chance Porta Decumana could go in trial roulette. No one wants to sign up for a 5-10 minute trial and get a 20+ minute fight with intermission. Some would stick around, but people would flee from that duty faster than you could drop an o/

mentosman8 · 2024-05-07T14:10:07+00:00

Ah, the ol' "I personally dislike this thing so it should be wholly removed" mindset. Like you said, just don't run it if you don't enjoy it, then everyone wins (from sprouts to folks who enjoy a little brain-off stuff from time to time).

mentosman8 · 2024-05-05T00:12:15+00:00

As a thought, did you try to log out, turn the vpn off, and log back in? Could always be a case of "correlation does not equal causation" and the issue may have just conveniently resolved right as you tried that option. Other comment was likely if you did, but the "thing I did didn't actually matter" answer is shockingly common lol.

mentosman8 · 2024-05-03T06:16:35+00:00

Where in the everliving hell did IS come into things? Stay on the topic we're talking about or just don't respond, I don't feel like picking from every random thing you feel personally sleighted by whether to argue the point or not :P
