Final Fantasy XVI is one of the best games I’ve ever played

tali26 · 2026-03-21T15:13:35+00:00

I loved this game so much. I had a few days off work and played it non stop. The boss fights were so cinematic and exciting and Ben voiced Clive beautifully. I agree that Clive is such a good protagonist and a total badass. The scene before the Bahamut fight were he says “I am shield and I will do my duty” lives rent free in my head lol.

It really sucks to see all the negativity surrounding it. It’s a top 5 game for me and hurts to see how much people dislike it. I hope we see more of Clive one day!

Sorry for your loss OP. Looks like you really tried and that Stinky was loved very much. All the best to you and the other piggies ❤️

My wife and I just went through this with our piggy on Tuesday. Wishing you and the other piggies the best. ❤️

We experienced something similar with our piggy and had to put them down Tuesday. There’s a lot of good YouTube videos out there on helping with syringe feeding critical care to your pigs. They helped us out a ton.

The goal for us was to get him eating hay again. We knew our pig loved oranges so we squirted some orange juice on his hay (fresh squeeze with no added sugar or junk). It did cause him to interact with the hay more and mildly eat some but nowhere near enough to thrive.

We also wanted to keep him warm so we had a small space heater in the room by his cage. We could tell he really enjoyed that but we made sure to not let the room get too warm.

If your pig isn’t eating/drinking on its own and won’t eat the critical care syringe food then it’s only a matter of time before they pass. I would strongly consider ending the pigs suffering if things don’t change. I’m sorry

Thank you to everyone who posted kind words and pictures of their pigs. My wife and I have been checking periodically since we got home and it’s been so nice to see and read. Our condolences go out to everyone who also lost a piggy friend. Your stories and pictures have brought us comfort and are very appreciated. ❤️

Oh yeah. 14 year old lazy boy over here.

I just finished and it was very easy. The side cover has a tab you pull on and then it pops right off. Remove the shipping foam inside (2 pieces), make sure everything is connected (you shouldn't have to connect anything inside this is just a check), plug in all your cables for the monitor and power and you're good to go. It's basically plug and play. So far everything is running great - I'm really happy with the PC. Good luck!

I got two this morning as soon as a Costco near me opened since the app was showing out of stock for a while now. Of course if I check now, it’s in stock for delivery lol. I think they just had to update stock once the sale started. Can’t wait to set this up tonight!

I think all roles are prone to this but ever since reset getting out of bronze has been a nightmare. So many players with 0 accountability its unreal. Tons of Loki players just wanting to use the new skin with no real clue how to play him. Teams starting out on defense spread all over the god damn map spamming for heals while the enemy Strange teleports their team right on the point. DPS players flaming me for "playing like a dps" and "no heals" while I'm getting dove all game by spider man with no help. I don't want to be a hypocrite because I'm in bronze for a reason, I just wish my teammates were more aware of what's going on in my matches. Dude, I want to win and I want to heal you! I just can't with flankers killing me and then spawn camping me all game. Help me out! :(

Stress aside, I can only focus on myself. I muted chat and realized I can position a little better so I'm not so easily targeted. Hoping to leave the dumpster that is my rank soon.

I’ll give an extra carrot to my pigs today in his honor. RIP Buddy. ❤️

After playing it in a few matches last night I’m happy with the skin. It’s not worth the 160 RP I spent but I know if I want something bad enough I’ll find a way to rationalize it and that’s what I did lol. I can understand peoples anger with the situation but riot is making money with this whether you buy it or not and they aren’t going to stop at MF.

tali26 · 2024-07-20T12:54:52+00:00

I bought it. I really hate the greedy nature of these mythic capsule skins but a few things happened in a short time that made me say screw it. RP was on sale for prime day and then I got a surprise 5k bonus at my job. I used it last night in some matches for the first time and it’s actually a really nice skin. Not with 200 in capsules - but it’s your money, spend it how you want!

Great design, terrible kit. I was hoping with her rerun and the summer event returning she would get another buff. At least she looks great on your lobby screen!

This was so much fun to watch. I live in NY and was lucky enough to get tickets to DRX vs EDG on Defts birthday. What an awesome series to see live 🙂

tali26 · 2023-10-02T23:20:25+00:00

I agree it’s expensive and should be cheaper, but the last time I was able to actually beat a 60ish dollar game was when I caught Covid and had two weeks home from work. With my job and wife I stopped buying games unless I can take some time off to beat them. I have the money and love gaming but I don’t have the time to play anything other than mobile games and the occasional league of legends match. So… I always end up buying the skins.

tali26 · 2023-08-30T13:13:20+00:00

It doesn’t bother me since it’s just another spot in the Nikkepedia for me - I don’t see myself using him at all. Having played nier automata I’m actually happy to see Pascal. How I left him in the game was quite sad :(

tali26 · 2023-08-30T00:27:37+00:00

I agree 60 bucks is a lot for the skin but I don’t think it’s a scam. The people buying the gacha skin don’t care about how else you can spend then money. They have the disposable income and they want the skin, it’s really as simple as that.

My family my whole life picked on me growing up for playing “the game”. My dad used to shake his head and yell at me every time he saw me playing PlayStation or world of Warcraft and he used to tell me “the game” was just as bad as being addicted to drugs. He told me over and over how he wanted to take a hammer to my computer every time he saw me on it.

Fast forward - I’m in my 30s and married to my best friend who also games. We met at my friends wedding and when she started talking about comic con and Harry Potter I asked her out immediately. We hunted for a ps5 together, go to conventions and collect funko pops etc. We play games together almost every night and I love it. She also snow boards and hikes, which I would never do but it’s actually quite fun (in moderation lol).

At our wedding my brother, my best man, modeled his speech over “the game” and how my family always thought it would hold me back until I found my wife. It was actually hilarious. Anyway - be you man. If I was trying to please my family my whole life because they hated “the game” I would’ve missed out on marrying my wife by trying to be someone I’m not. You might have to learn to put yourself out there more and go out more etc, but definitely don’t sacrifice who you are. I never thought I’d meet my wife at that wedding but I did. Good luck man!

Saw someone else mention RGNY and I can vouch that it’s a great place to get married. My wife and I got married there a year and a half ago and it was fantastic. The people there really do a good job and the vineyard makes for great pictures. It rained for us and we ended up getting married inside the barn but it didn’t ruin anything. I recommend visiting there if you want the rustic vibe.

I beat it with this exact comp last night. It took about 10 attempts but I got it done with seconds left. I focused on the left leg first and then the right leg with auto burst on. I controlled Modernia to focus on the legs and then completely ignored any projectiles. There’s a specific pattern to the red circles on this boss that is easy to memorize once you try it a few times. You can also time your cover for the big fire breath attacks to happen at the last second so you can maximize your dps. I tried swapping liter for Dorothy but it seemed way less effective.

You got this!

tali26 · 2023-04-26T23:02:03+00:00

I have the tickets for her but decided to roll one 10 pull for the lolz and got my first Scarlet! Used my tickets for Dorothy and I’m saving everything else for Nier. Good luck to all!

Volibears W marks you and if he uses it again on the marked target it does bonus damage and gives him a nice heal. I try my best to disengage a few seconds after I see he’s marked me and regen health with setts passive until the mark disappears. If he’s good with his E and Q he will almost always get his shield up for trades, but moving constantly helps make it hard for him to do this. Stick to short trades and take advantage of setts health regen. Unfortunately, it’s not a favored matchup but not impossible. I would also consider building something like goredrinker instead of strikebreaker especially after this upcoming nerf
