    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Not sure if you mean like a moon cycle or something but a day ingame is a bit more than an hour. You can usually gather the nodes twice per hour(roughly, it's like 70mins so every 35mins). ARR nodes iirc only spawn once per day or used to, so would still be once an hour, but yeah it's not so...

    Final Fantasy 16

    To be fair, like many games that do this, it becomes irrelevant like halfway through, you can just block it permanently with a spell or whatever, but yeah I dislike the mechanic overall. The game itself was ok-ish but nothing great, the whole XIII series was very average stuff besides the art(as...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Doesn't seem very surprising, the full race DLCs always take a while iirc? In TW2 they released Tomb Kings first and even then it still took 4months, and this time they released the chaos stuff first so they probably hadn't been working on Chaos Dwarves in advance that much. To put in...

    Tales of Arise

    I'd assume keyboard might not be that bad but I played with a pad cause that's what I'm used to for this sort of games. Which one is really a matter of preference though.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Emulation's getting pretty good, although this being new and possibly pushing limits means it'll take a while to run even just stable on emulators but being a big title there's likely going to be an effort into optimizing it. Still mostly gonna look like a Switch game but usually you can get...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Oh I meant it's similar to how FFXIV trailers are done, not how FFXIV does the story. The guys transforming into summons is specific to this, it happens a couple of times in XIV but that's not the common ways you encounter them in that. However, it's something they've talked about and shown in...

    Final Fantasy 16

    It felt like too much, but it's very possible this is only like half the game or maybe even less and the game is just frontloaded with a lot of exposition and then goes into an interesting direction. I don't know how much Yoshida has control over the trailers but the XIV trailers will often...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Yeah you could do fancy things, fast races could also kite around waiting for towers to finish shit but overall it was pretty dumb so not gonna miss these defensive battles much. Just autoresolve and move on, I find in TW3 with the low supply lines, defending is usually not an issue at all, just...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I mean this is still the better solution since 80% of the settlement battles were also offensive battles where you're attacking shit, so if you wanna play them it's better this way. Defensively it's likely worse but as long as you aren't getting fucked over that shoudn't happen much. Overall...

    Terraria

    Na Black Hawk wasn't even close, I thought it'd be my upgrade but even with explosive bullets it was very disappointing, the summon I'm referring to are crazy good, they're basically like the flying swords in hard mode from Queen slime, they have stupid speed, fly and once they stick on a target...

    Terraria

    Man Calamity is really fun, the creative guys did a bang up job with all the new music, monsters, bosses, weapon sprites, biomes and all that, it's a really cool adventure and feels a lot like a Terraria 2.0 kind of thing. But the balance guys are your standard fanmade content stuff, it's so...

    Terraria

    I used just spectre rod in my legendary run. Well nimbus+frost hydra+rainbow rod+magnet sphere refreshes with I think deadly sphere summon at that point, but rest was purely spectre rod, it's just very good at this point in the game because you don't need to aim precisely and it keeps piercing...

    Terraria

    There's plenty of cheese strats if you want to bother building them which is fine, it's what makes the game fairly unique. Summoner is definitely the hardest class to play, it's the squishiest but still requires to be somewhat close to enemies and your damage will sometimes decide to not...

    Terraria

    You don't have proper accessories maybe? You want boots obviously for lateral speed, wings for flight(you can get wings as soon as you start hardmode, there's several types, easiest to farm is pixies need 99dusts+20 souls of flight which you get from the wyverns, can farm rare drop instead of...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I think beta specifically has limited weapons, you just don't get much yeah. Talents might be the thing that unlocks at 11? They're all locked at low lvl but don't say what you need to unlock like a level milestone or something, so might be what it is. Played a couple of runs to see, it's...

    Terraria

    Finally done with my run, it's a bit disappointing that a good amount of the later half is way less "new" than the first half. Mech obviously is great but after that planterra is fairly similar to normal mode just harder, golem has the new dark mode thing which just makes it really fucking...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah 6.2 was pretty good, reminded me of some of the FFXI stuff where it just goes pretty wild quickly. Lots of new lore, new characters, new potential story arcs and so on. That said it also ends right in the middle of it, so you could just wait until 6.3 and get probably a more complete...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's been worse than the unupgraded tome weapon in the past 2 expansions, too lazy to check HW. Stormblood Anemos was 355 while unupgraded tome was 360, ShB first relic was 485 while unupgraded tome was 490. So I'd expect 5 under. In 6.35, it'll be upgraded to the same ilvl as the upgraded tome...

    Terraria

    They definitely were before, For the Worthy was the only one slightly unique in that it added some new stuff to bosses but the previous version was still fairly minor. The new Don't Dig Up seed changes the game a lot and some of the changes to For The Worthy or the everything seed(not sure which...

    Terraria

    Graveyard is from previous version, it's nice because it has a few specific items, notably the gravedigger's shovel, I made that super early cause it's really good at digging in most of the world. It removes 3x3 blocks if they're soft blocks(mud/ash/dirt/snow kind of stuff), which is the vast...

    Terraria

    Bumping this in case someone's interested but didn't see the news. Last week they updated this game, again. Last update was supposed to be the actual last update, but apparently they still felt like there was room for more. A lot of QoL changes were added, such as the Shimmer which is a special...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Might add more later but also maybe the customization aspect is deeper so it's not as needed. A lot of the subclass changes are fairly minor stuff that could be a talent tree and such.

    No Man's Sky

    Seems like somewhat meh reception from veterans because they massively nerfed tech upgrade stacking. In the old version, each piece of tech could have 3 upgrades in your tech inventory and 3 upgrades in your main inventory, so 6 upgrades total. In the new one they removed the main inventory...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    Even these games aren't like Rogue at all though, they simply have some elements. Rogue, and games inspired by it are a very specific niche of games that very few modern games actually do. Stoneshard and Caves of Qud are 2 good modern examples that are in early access. Once you start calling...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Isn't the size 90% just heatsinks and fans anyway? Like the PCBs aren't much bigger, they just need to add a PS5 worth of copper and fans to actually make it run without raising the temperature enough to melt thermite. So splitting stuff isn't necessary, what's more likely to happen is them...

    Total War: Warhammer

    They did yeah but ultra feels definitely like what they use for balancing, it has nice numbers and looks nice, but yeah in settlements and shit going large is probably a lot better, so many siege/settlements you can't even get a square formation into an alley cause it's so fucking tight. This...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Amazon Prime has TW2 for free(well "free", you need prime obviously) via Twitch, it is the Epic version however and if you want to play Mortal/Immortal Empire campaigns you need to own all the games on the same platform. Still it's free and a somewhat nice game, Vortex campaign is a bit eh but...

    Playstation 5

    I don't know, Nintendo has good reasons to remake shit they released on stupid consoles like the Wii/Wii U. Also I wouldn't mind Bloodborne remake even if technically it's only 7years old. This definitely isn't it though. It'd be one thing to make it a HD free PS5 patch thing, but they're...

    Dark and Darker

    That looks like rogue being pretty overpowered though? He takes 2 hits of a 2H axe and is at 30% hp but kills the 2H guy dies in 4hits(which are much faster)? Or just headshot but the hit detection seems really fucking weird in what counts as a headshot. Can't get past how combat looks really...

    New lab, basically this They partner with Intel to get money and advertise these new options as stuff that push the CPU so you need the new Intel CPUs to run the lab at full settings kinda. It's basically pointless stuff although can be fun for some things. They did post some news in the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So on one hand, it looks good, but on the other, most of these zones felt like "oh I've been there 10years ago already". So many of these areas look like they're taken from old expansions, Grizzly Hills, Borean Tundra, Coldarra, Nagrand(more like the Warlords one than the BC one). Those dragon...

    The Animated GIF Thread

    This subreddit is basically joke shit with exagerated titles. It's just a husky yelling cause it doesn't want to get out of the shower or whatever. It's often animal related stuff with "vicious beast attacks human" and it's a kitten biting someone's finger and stuff like that, sometimes other...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    No one can say, it'll be harder in NG+ and higher obviously but how hard who knows. Also depends on the build you'd go for, some builds deal with higher difficulty better by just being tankier anyway. Pointless to think about for now, you can figure it out once the DLC releases, either by...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm just waiting for the DLC to play this, figure at this point no reason to play right now when the DLC will add a bunch of stuff anyway. Their timing on the anime release is weird though, feels like it should have been released like a couple months before the DLC to build up hype. I guess they...

    JRPGs

    He's worked on a variety of indie projects. One of the traditional rogue-likes I played that got me into the genre had a very SNES JRPG era soundtrack and some of the tracks were specifically made by the SoM composer. So could be the case. That said all these pseudo indie square rpgs have had...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Well I mean if you read the warnings on stuff you can tell there's definitely "someone", many of them really, who are that stupid. Definitely wouldn't be too surprised if a bunch of people end up complaining their new 4090 half burned or their PSU fried or whatever and it's just some old shit...

    Twitch.tv

    I'd assume Youtube is doing fine. Not as well as Twitch obviously, but since they're likely piggybacking off their already existing infrastructure their costs are likely not as high as services that try to build up streaming from nothing, and they likely make enough money out of superchats...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    DLSS isn't really like ray tracing though, it doesn't make the games look better, if anything they'll look worse, but it makes them run noticeably faster. DLSS 2.0 is really nice IF you're GPU capped for stuff, since the loss in quality is fairly negligible unless you're comparing screenshots...
