Pumpkin soup for one
I agree but that doesn’t help the emulsified soup
Bolognaise is also chunky sauce
yeah but the soup is the main event
very very big sauce cup for my bread
you wouldn’t be like “oh man i can’t wait to eat some bread with soup on it”
I think the emphasis of the meal is something in the right direction
aw see y'all are serious and i'm just clowning
Soupy bread is great though
curry is the sauciest of soups
oh absolutely
I want soup and bread now
curry is the exact median of sauce and soup
mad, you always want soup and bread
soup and bread good
I do...
damn now i want soup and bread
this is myst book club all over again
MYST INSTINCTS

ok but curry is exactly between sauce and soup
the trend is that the mods see food being discussed and we swarm like locusts because we're all hungry
ghfvhjfvhjfvhjfhj
it is eaten on top of rice but the rice isn’t The Main Thing
what have i eaten to day. an apple? an unreasonable amount of chocolate almonds?
I do agree with the curry thing
(or rather, it can be eaten on rice)
yeah speak for yourself, sparrow, i eat curry with an unreasonable amount of naan
i’ve eaten a chocolate bar and two hard boiled eggs since about 8am
What if curries can be subdivided into soupy and saucy
i'm putting my coworkers' poor eating habits on blast
i need this bus to go faster so i can get to my fish sooner
Like daal is soupy and butter chicken is saucy
yeah 🤔
you raise a good point
also the chunkier it is the less saucy it is because
chonks
you could argue
that butter chicken curry is actually just sauce for the butter chicken
and the butter chicken is just swimming in sauce
god, i should have bought a curry meal while i was at work for monday eats

不朽の名作「カリオストロの城」から40年 山崎貴による誰も見たことのない新たなルパン参上! 原作:モンキー・パンチ 監督・脚本:山崎貴 12.6 IT'S SHOW TIME!! https://lupin-3rd-movie.com/
I totally wasn't expecting this
I'm not a fan when it comes to 3D animated shows but this one is really good
If two people here are recommending it independently it seems pretty worthwhile
I mean it remains to be seen if the quality will be this good
But it totally captures the Lupin III feel
@hasty kernel true
I do have one gripe
Jigens beard isnt nearly bushy enough
This is what his beard should look like
honestly i've never seen lupin before but this trailer has me interested
sameee
Oh Lupin is great
Its usually not very family friendly though
Or uh, at all
But this movie looks like itll be PG
And again, if you want to check Lupin out, Id start with the Miyazaki movie, Castle of Cagliostro
they really bimbofied jigen in the movie huh
jimbo
wouldnt it be himbofied
youre right
im normally not that big of a fan of 3d but the animation looks really good
It does, doesnt it
Also I love how well Lupins smugness comes accross
Its downright palpable
god i love me some archetypal thieves
Have some wholesome: watch to at least a minute in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZEER31RNPM
The second night of Boy's US tour finds them at Union Hall. A great time where the audience touches the band with a sing-a-long Please like like like! http:/...
Hm, so the eye pain got a lot weaker, but it doesnt seem to be going away
A progress in good direction though; did you find out what caused it?
I thought so, but
Usually the drops should make the problem itself at least temporarily vanish, while any corneal abrasions should heal within a day
So its a bit strange that it remains a constant dull pain
just tried out the ffxiv trust system
the ai is perfect
my dps stood in all the aoes
just like a real player!!
uh oh sisters i dunno if i can pass this dungeon
you can
trust in us who trust in you, and trust in yourself that we trust in
You can
And I know square-Enix invests a lot in QA in general, so all campaign should be passable
the guy directing is the one who is also doing the Dragon Quest movie due out this year in Japan.
QA? ?.?
quality assurance
making sure everything works the way it should and there are as few glitches/bugs as possible
and just generally making sure stuff is like, up to snuff
Quilt Appearance
they want to make their quilts look good
anyone here quilted b3
no but it looks really neat!
i've been slow to get into textile stuff even tho it looks cool and i love looking for fabrics...
i only started doing cosplay sewing like a couple years back
now im imagining... fantasy character with quilt cloak

QA is hell
i feel like qa work takes a certain kind of person to begin with, and then on top of it the industry Sucks, broadly speaking, and all the issues that programmers and engineers have with crunch etc. tend to get doubled or tripled down on qa testers, on top of bad pay
so like you're just as disposable based on the dev cycle and when you're needed vs when you're not but just like with every other games job there's no union protections, no guarantee of further work, the crunch is real and brutal, you don't get paid nearly enough, and, i don't speak from experience, but i get the sense there's a view of qa work as being the bottom rung of the dev ladder so there's that hanging over your head
someone did a really interesting...i think it was a video? on like the types of qa jobs
the contracting companies that publishers use vs like in-house qa work
Ive never done QA work myself, but I have a couple of good friends who have and the consensus is that it sucks big time
Basically only go for it if you think you can get a proper dev position from it
yeah, i've heard that's not even super common anymore
it used to be a like "start low and move up" thing but not so much these days
connections are a thing but if you're working for a sweatshop contractor who lends you out by the hundreds to EA or whatever that's not gonna get you anywhere
it's a shame, i think if the conditions are better it could probably be really interesting work
certainly no worse than like....professional editing
gdfjkghfd gamers love repetition,
MMO players at least do
In fact, WoW should probably count as a QA position at Blizzard
re: qa
what i’ve noticed is that it’s becoming more common for companies to want qa people who want to stay in qa. i know qa is often a common starting point for people trying to break into production specifically as well. but there are still ways to get in without using qa to transition, and there are also definitely people who do qa because they like it.
The basic FQA, at level 3, is enough to pay rent, food, and some luxury
It’s just not the idea job if you want to raise children on that salary
Better than fast food or dépanneur for sure, you don’t need too much efforts or talking to people
hahahaha just abt anything is better than service industry
Not sure good or bad that ordering food is now gradually done on a public tablet PC rather than talking to a real person
Not just McDonald’s, sushi places too
food service is another job where it's not necessarily the job so much as the treatment of workers that makes it so awful
yoooo
bike party looks awesome
24 hours and 48 minutes spent in Hollow Knight, and nearly half of that was in the Coliseum of Fools
I still haven't beaten the third trial tier
I can consistently make it past ||the Mawleks|| but the ||aerial combat|| section keeps killing me
:(
im 30 minutes into hollow knight and im just confused and dont know how to hit thinks without getting hit
its cute tho. bugg
Bugs game is best game
also if yall like hollow knight..... give sundered a try......
the only think they have in common is hand drawn metroidvanias but i love sundered and i want everyone to play it
It's been a strange experience for me since I've been treating it like Dark Souls, which has led me to sequence break and take on areas significantly harder than I should be handling out of sheer stubbornness
I'll check it out! Is it on Steam?
yep!
ugh, stick me through with a trident
I feel like I may have wasted money just now
hopefully I can figure out this issue
What happened?
So basically...
I bought a full game download card from Best Buy for Wargroove and I didn't receive any code on my receipt, email or the site itself.
Went back today to either resolve the issue or refund. Couldn't do either. They suggested contacting Chucklefish regarding the situation.
I certainly learned a lesson today.
First issue I've ever ran into with Best Buy like this.
I would totally just give you my copy of wargroove if I could
man, I hope everything works out w it
T_T i was just saying how much i loved playing healer and then everyone in my next party yelled at me for sucking
Yea that’s how healer works in most games
:c i feel bad for sucking bt also they were so mean
i did say before i went in that i was a little rusty w the changes and id never healed in that dungeon before and aaaaaaaaaa
im upsetti spaghetti
dfghjdffb
what sort of sauce goes on Upsetti spaghetti?
tomato sauce with garlic and hints of self doubt
regretti sauce
afraido sauce
😨
ok hitting a bit close to home now
im scared to keep levelling bc of this one experience
Yeah update.
So it was Best Buy's fault at hand.
I'm really happy that Shu (the PR person) was able to help in some fashion and it made me appreciate PR stuff more.
I just really want the Switch version because I like playing in portable mode sometimes at my desk.
It's fun and I don't do it often.
But yeah, I'm kind of in a foul mood really. Migraine setting in and I'm just really tired from a lack of sleep.
Hey New Yorkers, you guys alright?
What happened?
massive power outage
27k+ people without power, with very limited subway service
that’s not good uh oh
At least the subway is running as per usual
yeah, a transformer blew out or something
like all of midtown and a lot of the upper west side lost power
some broadway shows got cancelled for tonight because the power went out right before curtain
i actually went into the city to hang out with some friends in brooklyn today so my mom was frantically texting me to make sure i didn’t get stuck in a subway tunnel or something
oh darn
I'm watching it on the news rn
Apparently today was the anniversary of another NYC black out in the 90s
I hope everyone's okay
*70s sorry
What?
Probably not unless you see something on it that should be removed
Like grit or something weird like that
I think you scorch those off
If you have a blowtorch
You could pull them out
I don't believe feather cooks well
I hope your food is good and tasty

Im Ready To Get On Ryukishi07's Wild Ride Again
What is that series about anyway
murder mystery, mental health, love, respect, the undeath of the author
paralell worlds
witches
Let 👏🏾 Hatsune 👏🏾 Wear 👏🏾 Crocs 👏🏾 Without 👏🏾 Shame!

OUCH
Cronchy
I have a partner with EDS
OH NO
I tried to say Crocs curse word Slapp
A bold way to go I suppose
Banned For Croc Crimes
honestly forgot that channel existed
two of my friends have eds
Rest Ice Compression Elevation and anti-inflammatories!
its 1 am
That's no reason not to take care of yourself
Things I enjoy: my parents thinly veiled attempts to figure out if I'm bi and/or trans.
yeargh
people should realize that if someone isnt out to them, there's probably a reason
I mean, I kinda torment them, to be fair.
I'm not out to them because it doesn't matter not because I'm hiding it or anything.
I'm always ambiguous about who I'm dating or why I'm going to LGBT events and stuff
Yeah but it’s fine to do things on ur own time y’know?
Oh yeah, not disagreeing just saying that I enjoy watching them squirm
"is this when we say we'll love you no matter what? I mean he hasn't actually said anything but..."
Well it’s completely understandable on their part
Think of how hard it is to parent someone going through something completely different then you did
And add to that the fact that you are actively trying to make it harder for them
I'm 30, they aren't really parenting me anymore
and I was like, super closeted when they were actively parenting
You where still going through something different
just from my experience communication is key, and poisoning relationships is bad
They want to be supportive right? Is it really ok to make them worry whether they're doing it properly
yeah, it's not your responsibility to tell
This is true, but both sides need to cooperate for effective communication
And it can be rude to ask as well
Although you don't seem shy about it so i wouldn't think it's the case
they mean well they're just squeamish about the subject
Oh honestly if you’re 30 like, ¯_(ツ)_/¯ idk if u don’t want em to know it’s no worry
& honestly dealing w squeamish-esque people on lgbt stuff is,,,, so tiring
Like they mean well but Please Stop Patronizing Me Just Call Me Ed & Move On Bud
The sentiment is nice but,, just Be Cool
Rt
It was bike party
which was apparently just biking around town with a buncha people yelling "Bike party" at people
GGHGHH that’s uh
That’s Art I think and god, would love to just Holler On A Bike Someday
it was a lotta fun
got something due in 2 hours but im sleeby
Get caffeine and warm and do your best
i'm going to CRY
thank god :'D
https://twitter.com/LAUPER03/status/1148967391491186695 everyone take a deep breath and watch music bowls thank you
bowl equivalent of wind chimes, soothing
I’m scared for kakapo because their genetic pool is so limited, please don’t have the banana thing
Oh I’ve been there! It’s just as soothing in real life man, I could sit there for hours
lol I thought when I watched earlier
It looks and sounds so serene.... but it could definitely also be like, horror movie music
that'd be really beautiful in it's own way :0 shattered bowls all giving a final ring before sinking to the bottom of the pool in pieces, shards of pottery occasionally drifting with the current but otherwise silent and lovely
wow do u ever play a game and then feel the serotonin
hades 200 is what I go to when I want an adrenalin filled panic
that's basically the same thing right?
What's up gamers
o/
@copper lark btw I can appreciate your choice in name
ty! i hope everyone can
@sly stump I love kakapo, they're so blessed. There's some at a reserve like 10 mins from my house lol
and Kea too
OH WONDERFUL
@copper lark has ffxiv consumed you with shadowbringers yet
ive already gotten a new daughter and im only lvl 72
@wide ember it's ok -- island species have been observed to be more resistant to genetic bottlenecks! it's not clear why but one theory is that, well, if your population/range is pretty small most of the time, genetic bottlenecks are more likely
making pancakes, making bacon pancakes, first you make some bacon then you put it on a pancake
I was close
i quit dancer hdfjgfdghf
they nerfed it today
im back to playing healer!!
my mental health has decreased significantly while playing : )
as a healer?
yep
no my healing is fine
i got yelled at for not knowing mechanics
my first time in a dungeon
i wanna show my daughter
but i dun wanna give anyone spoilers T_T
ill dm q_q
oh speaking of ffxiv guess who spent 9 hours playing the free trial today and has a new daughter
me, i do, this is v'rhana and i'd die for her
a good person to die for
what world/server are u on
uhhhhhh eu data center, chaos -> spriggan
bc it was the first one it gave me and i was like yeah okay sure!

also uhm
,,,,,
Not 666 dissapoint :p
i know i missed that one
😱
i missed 420 too
THAT'S A LOTTA HOURS
I REALLY LIKE THIS GAME
catte no like darkness
u ever rewatch cutscenes bc u missed a cute screenshot opportunity
lol
YOU CAN DO THAT?
You can't miss 6969 when that happens 
yep!!
I'm pretty sure steam plays that one Ninja Sex Party song when that happens
Buy the song (& album) here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/attitude-city/id1011513492
in the inn room you click on the unending journey (?)
it shows u all the quests and their cutscenes
nsp is the best

Eating food in the shower
also cool patrol
I love it when Markipliar is in the videos
And Barry
i got my screenshot im happy now
is barry still friends w danny?
i know he left game grumps a while ago now
I can't imagine anyone not being friends with Danny
not that I've put danny on a pedestal or anything
Yeah, He's definitely all I watch game grumps for
I would hate to meet Arin IRL because I'd be like, "Oh... is Danny not with you?...."
came for the video games, stayed for the danny/arin banter, subbed for suzy
Syd you're not using an NA data center are you?
i am!
im on crystal, malboro
:O if ur making a trial acc i can come say hi
i just logged out but-
doesn't have to be right now 😃
yeah lool
im going to bed
i hope you enjoy! (miqo'te are the best race)
try not to get addicted like me
I have yet to get addicted to any MMO that wasn't planetside 2
god I loved planetside 2
syd, i loaded it up at noon and only exited ut at 9pm, with brief tea and food interludes.
is a good game.
I mean
I've been playing Dota for Years
my first recorded match is in 2013
I apparently average 1.44 hours of dota per day
However I think that's skewed a bit
by days where I just left it open when I went to work and stuff
sparrow the story isn’t even good where u are!! when u get to the actual story oh man
me with tf2
hi i’m ffxivs biggest advertiser i love this game with my whole heart it means a lot to me
i know i’m sorry q_q
well !! it gives you something to look forward to when you next play
sees Eden raid
hears music
I'm in heaven. faints
aaaaAAAAA
me only lvl 72 into msq
i’m trying my best to avoid spoilers T_T
seafra have u been playing bc i need confirmation on something
3000 hours isnt even that much
Ive got 5000 hours in GW2
And probably like 10k in League
Also man I miss when TF2 was regularly updated
Ground Squirrels Fear my name!
"help, sylphs have provided us with TOO MANY VEGETABLES"
wow i don’t miss being uber eats for eorzea in the early levels
so many baby players i feel like my work here is done
anyone here plays monster hunter world?
excited for iceborne too, I really should start playing the game again at some point 
I'm well aware of what mon hun is like 
I do enjoy beating up really big monsters and using their parts to make things 
I too enjoy turning dragons into fashion
monster fashion world
go ahead man, i personally liked fighting him because lightshow
oh, do use ATKT's leggings though
I liked the upgraded moveset
heat guard
ikr
But now i gotta wait for mrs jagras to come back
Well greatest jagras too
(the joke is kt and jagras have the same model skeleton)
i just got it lmao i'm so stupid
It's a bit weird so dw
This episode came out of nowhere just like how the Kulve Taroth came out of nowhere..... Audio by Strelok https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNCHMpmIxt26Z5eUQi...
I just stole the joke from that
yes i am aware as of now hahahah
classic
in the coming days there'll be back to back festivals
ฅ'ω'ฅ

All the tickets
(yes I've run out)
(oh yay i'm not the only one)
Well statistically maybe, but who farms armor sphere
Esp when your friends carry you
basically everytime lmao
i play w the daggers or the bagpipes lool
the horn!! that’s what t is
i forgot the name
i like to toot my monsters to death
Hunting horn is tops
So is dual blades
I've played em all but dual blades and switch axe are the most fun for me
demon mode on the blades mmmm
Gotta naruto run everywhere
Now what's really good is when your horn buddy has stamina use reduction and you NEVER STOP CUTTING
MMMM MY BROTHER PLAYS w ONLY HORN i’ve never played with anyone before tho :(
there’s a monster hunter raid in ffxiv
And a behemoth quest in mon hun
and u can get a cactuar in mhw
And nobody knows how to do either because the mechanics are borrowed from the other game so everyone dies
LOOL
And you dress your cat up as a moogle
me, played both 
Carry me
I've done it enough for the basic gear
Gonna pretend extremoth doesn't exist 
i havent actually gotten far enough in mhw to do any of the ff stuff T_T
and i havent unlocked the mhw raids
Ah still in tutorial
You're in low rank tutorial about 0 to 10, high rank tutorial 10 to 20, then the rest of the ranks are kind of pointless
They go up super fast after the main story
You have quest caps in rank at about 30, 50, 80 and 100
yeah i got kinda preoccupied with ffxiv,,,, i haven’t played in a while
Yeah, most people only have enough time for one mmo-like game in their life
I got into mhw when i didn't have anything else to distract me
(also my friends are a bad influence 😛 )
@serene tulip o/ if ur available im online
I'm in Gridania?
lol
i need this 5mil exp im abt to get
Nothing has actually been a challenge to anything but my patience
I can spare a bit more ^^
when u only get 3mil exp
T_T
anyway! im on my way to new gridania
im Alo'ra Therinfall
I don't know where that is!
no, Alo'ra Therinfall
Oce Shejn
if you've said anything I haven't seen it
Ah, good old Monster Hunter
The game that created a genre that would spawn other, better games
Yeah they could be pretty awkward to play until world
But hey, it gave us Freedom Wars and God Eater
i dont do any oce lol
Haven't tried any of them so i can't say how they compare
I have, God Eater is a lot less slow and clunky and has more customization
The series as a whole has basically been remaking the same game but better
While Freedom Wars unlocks a whole additional dimension with the grappling hooks
Turns out a level 6 lancer with 2 potions can beat a level 9 alpha anole
The new dlc is adding hooks to monhun
If you compare to the first game basically anything will be better
From what I can see
That grappling hook is way more limited
The Freedom Wars one let you aim at any solid surface (or monster (or rather robot)) and you dash towards it and stay attached
Yeah it's all about grappling onto a mon
Lets you saw off individual parts of the robots
You don't get the full freedom of movement thing
Or more realistically, shoot a nailgun until they fall off because the nailgun was broken
i got friggin' 14 gil for killing it tho :<
Lol, we'll see if new slinger is as busted
I like shield and sword the best
Oh no, he fell from GW2 to FFXIV
its the only one which movement doesn't drive my nuts
Sns is probably most comparable to other video games in terms of flexibility of how you play
The whole game is an exercise of playing around animations
Wait I've just described it as a very slow fighting game
Huh
in the same way that titanfall titan combat is a very slow FPS 😛
!!! lvl 73 BAPY
so bapy
Grats
I mean its more of a very slow ARPG
With the level of emphasis on the animations I'm more inclined to go with the fighting game comparison, although with the difference in scale the considerations change a fair bit
u h oh i have to play with other people ,,, im gonna get yelled at
Oh no
I guess i need to play more of them then
Specifically animation cancelling, which fighting games have, uh, less of
That's true
q_q if i come back crying i got yelled at for not knowing mechanics
Do some reading up first?
this is all new content tho
Good luck
Back to arpgs, i think most of the games I've played that fall in that category don't really care about animation cancelling or I'm not playing at a high enough level to notice
DUTY COMPLETE
You did it!
@copper lark I think I made my character so tol that she clips out of animations
are they Yda and Papalymo?
do you think I could change the battle music to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKf8cHlT4cs
Final Fantasy VI music that has been extended to play for at least 15.5 minutes. This video was uploaded from http://www.smashcustommusic.com/1586 This strea...

FFVI, empirically, has the best music of all the final fantasys I've played
also the best story
Kefka's arc is best villain arc
The trust system AI is
a little too good
one of the characters only stacks on one of the attacks if it targets the girl hes taking care of
shout out to everyone else who cries when they hear this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH_Zl2Rgl5M&list=PLNj_ZJF3LtBzxeoqwagc30AgrNvhSUu1L&index=70
how dare you
hears more Eden raid music
oh no
oh no I'm having flashbacks to fighting Titan back when I was still doing ARR content.
that's all I'm gonna say.
are u playing
not now
i have an question
I'm watchign stuff for the raids
no i mean
sure
have u played any shb
not yet but I'm actually getting to it soon.
ok
a friend's gifting it and a sub
I'm glad I learned I can trade my old poetics tomes in for 390 gear.
Because YEEEEEEEEHAW I'm ready to finish 4.X if that's the case
I'll likely still be on Diabolos
I might join back up with my FC
oooh
i hope u have fun
its been lit so far
trust system is so good!!
although, i wanna kill thancred
don't kill Thancred
please hes an awful tank
still don't he's a good boy
sometimes.
ill let him live bc hes pretty and his name begins with 'than'
and. thats my weakness
shb made me cry again
thank all twelve gods that the replacement body armour i got is just as cute as what i had before
just chillin with my tiny friend ✌
awww
man i miss low level areas theyre so cozy
i would come visit on my alt but
hes full baby
only level 2
dark blue is actually a super cute colour on her, which i wasn't expecting?
Aaah this is making me miss when I used to play ffxiv
i'm just on the free trial atm but honestly.......... it's really winning me over
uwu
I played the heck out of the free trial
fun fact! im here to celebrate
ffxiv is currently the highest rated pc and ps4 game!
of 2019 at least
me??? proud???? mayhaps
we went from a 42 to a 92,,,,
bro q_q
Well... Nier Automata Yorha is actually a Nier Automata + DLC and well... And on PC it has same optimization issues xD
And somehow FF XIV works well on PC xD
Because PC ports of Square Enix's game are usually bad (I know that Nier was made by Platinium Games), but there are other screwed ports on PC (I.E. some Final Fantasies or Chrono Trigger ported from mobile)
StS is 6.8 user?
on pc
4.6 on PS4 which 🤷 might be to do with controls being bad?
I am now a level 10 leatherworker, a level 6 botanist and a level 6 woodworker 😄
I need to figure out where all the other craft trainers are
other cities ^^
when u go to limsa i hope u enjoy it thats my hometown and i love it to bits
you can play other classes too
those are all my classes
as u can see i do not like crafting/gathering
lol
man,,,, ,i wish i didnt hate the other healer classes
im salty towards white mage bc,,,, they get all the good stuff
and astrologian sucks
what about dragoon?
not a healer q_q
OK, I've got to put this game down and go ride my bike or something or I will explode
Why is everyone playing FFXIV and not GW2
I just got mh world so im set for a while
Which Id argue has the problem of Voluntary Response Bias
Surprisingly, this is not the first time this week Ive used that phrase
I found gw combat kind of boring but Im not usually into rpgs and I was low lvl
ranger btw
Basically that if you have voluntary voting, there is an inherent inaccuracy since people who feel strongly about it are more likely to rate it
Eh, I love GW2s combat
,,those were reviewers tho
The NPE was slow once but
u can see the user rating too tho
Its less slow than FFXIV
FFXIVs leveling is probably the worst of all MMOs Ive played
I think the last MMO I played was SWTOR, but it seemed a little quiet (which isn’t entirely a bad thing!)
It’s been a few years though
i mean ffxiv you level with the main story
I mean, yeah, thats how MMOs generally work
The issue is that the early story is a bit weak and the process is slow and the combat even more boring than usual
I played the fist guy up until level 20 I think
And thats one of the faster classes
And I was bored as hell
The game was pretty though
you ,, you played the tutorial my guy
Wasnt 20 the cap of the trial?
which is enough to change ur class into a job B)
If an MMO fails to hook me after 10 hours its doing something wrong
Wildstar had me after 3
Dont remind me
Thats still sad
GW2 had me after 2 I think
Mainly because Thief gets going the fastest
i mean
its def a personal thing
¯_(ツ)_/¯
also note thats shadowbringers thats being rated
Definitely
not the early game
shadowbringers is def the second peak of the story
But its hard to justify paying that much when a better MMO doesnt have sub fees
Its literally one of the cheapest mmos
Uh, no
and what you pay for you get back in game quality
Its one of the most expensive ones
Specifically
There isnt one thats more expensive
looool
At least none that Im aware of
WoW is as expensive, all the F2P ones are obviously cheaper, as are the B2P ones
And ... I think thats it
wow is NOT as expensive???
Same exact cost
nnope
is that euros?
Nah, Dollars
ffxiv is 7.69
Thats the cheapest option
Or 6 months, yes
In euros thats 10.99
And in WoW
Its also 10.99
So, I guess there is some weird tax thing going on?
Yeah it looks to be a tax thing
Because thats true only exactly for the UK
Weird that it would affect an american company and not a Japanese one
Oh, so apparently thats not the case
They just upped it for the UK back when the pound fell
And didnt undo it when it rose back up?
So now the UK has it more expensive, while all other options are identical to FFXIV
hm
So, I guess WoW is more expensive if youre english
And the exact same everywhere else in the world
So I guess that does make WoW technically more expensive
even so
you get what you pay for
ffxiv is a good game
lvl 30+ the ARR story peaks and it really doesnt take that long with dungeons and msq
comparing it to my experience with other mmos
can u describe it
you pay once with gw2 do you not? i dont think thats a fair comparison
I mean GW2 seems to manage fine without em
@copper lark that's how mafia works
Uh, no
The thing with Mafia is that you dont get to choose whether or not to pay
Its more like a gym
Except if you go to a Gym to stare at pretty people thats kinda creepy
Well, strictly speaking the servers dont matter
Since they all share everything except WvW
And even that is being changed
Its all shared, but
Uh
wait- it uses microtransactions-
gw2 uses microtransactions thats how it pays for its servers
I mean, yeah
FFXIV has its own cosmetic shop too
Mog station, I think it was called?
gw2 items to buy seem like things you need
I got the best gear 3 years ago
Its still the best gear
Nah
There are a couple things that are convenient, but nothing you need
Oh no
Thats a bit confusing
The way it works is usually you can only have 2 crafting licenses at once
You can swap them, but its a bit annoying
Well, for some, I still only have the 2
The license simply lets you hold more
So 3, 4, 5, etc. etc.
okay,, still
When it comes to the cash shop items, the only I would say is one that most people should buy, its the copper-fed salvage-o-matic
Which is just an endless salvage kit
these look like things that are needed for a good time for some players
Its not an advantage, in fact its a lot of gold
But its more convenient
Eh, they really arent
I think I played for 3 years before I bought the first thing from the cash shop
The aforementioned copper-fed Salvage-o-matic
Plus, you can get them with gold
OH LORD
and the shipping mechanic
we do not go into BDO regions
The biggest appeal to GW2 is the fact that its the most "casual" MMO
In the sense that there is no gear grind
You can stop playing the game for a year and come back and youre still set for everything
That seems boring tho
without the grind whats the point
Maybe my graphics setting is terrible but I was definitely turned off by the graphics of GW2
I prefer working on things I just want, at my own pace
Might be, I love GW2s graphics
Like, in GW2, instead of just trying to get the best gear only for it to be invalidated
You work on stuff like cosmetics
Legendaries in particular, which are weapon skins that have unique gimmicks
Somehow when I update my drivers it convinces my computer to change my output sound to my monitor's speakers
and I have to go digging through settings to fix that
For example, one of my favourites, Nevermore
Its a staff with a spirit raven on it
If you crit, a spirit raven dives onto the enemy and then flies away
Also various projectiles get replaced with spirit ravens
Thats what you work on, instead of trying to catch up with gear that becomes irrelevant not too long after anyway
i will admit
ffxiv combat is somewhat lacklustre at first
but it’s the mechanics that make it more interesting
what are healers in gw2 like
Tried, as in the past
Nowadays there are healing builds
Theyre easy to learn, hard to master
Beyond that I dont know all that much about them
i amn juste a littel healer main
I like how Dota 2, although its a fundamentally different game, has so many roles
it would kinda suck just to have the trinity
i’ve had so many people tell me healers have no rights Please Without Me You’re Nothing
The main healer in GW2 would be Druid
healer hate is just crypto-misogyny, prove me wrong
The main way you heal is by entering Celestial Avatar
A special form where you attune to the cosmos and use astral magic
Most of its healing is aimed by ground reticles
So its a very active kind of class
The other healing classes arent optimal so you see fewer of them, but
They are also pretty active
