  • I totally get that, same here.

    But ultimately you can’t just blame people. There is literally an entire industry trying to sell you cheap carbs and fat. Down to the sound a bag of chips makes when you open it (this is not a joke).

    So on one hand you have evolution, your body still being stuck in the past where food was scarce. On the other hand you have too much food and it’s highly engineered to be addicting on purpose.

    It’s no surprise most people are going to lose that challenge.








  • I’m back and forth about the nerfs. In theory it’s the right way to go, nerf everything that was too good, bring it in line with other skills that were overshadowed. Then when everything is in line they could just lower monster HP for example and it’s much more balanced.

    The current state was annoying as there’s only one or two builds per class that work well, everything else was crap. Even worse for classes like Sorcerer with 4 must use defensive skills.

    I’ll play season 1 and just give it a go, if it sucks overall I can always wait for season 2. No big deal, after hitting level 70 on my Rogue I lost all motivation to play anyway as there is no good content at that point.





  • Good joke.

    You know what happens if a customer complains your website doesn’t work in Chrome? A bug ticket is raised, goes to a developer and they fix the “bug” so it works again.

    If the developer is good they’d also make sure their “fix” doesn’t break the website for Firefox and Safari. But there are plenty of developers who only test Chrome and call it a day.

    Chrome is the default browser nowadays, if it doesn’t work in Chrome you have a problem. The developer might blame Google, but the user and management won’t care.





  • end of A Realm Reborn

    Google says that’s roughly 120 hours, oof.

    I’ve been playing video games for the last 27 years or so. If a game isn’t starting to be fun in the first few hours it’s usually not worth sticking with it. For example anyone saying “The game starts at max level!” totally missed the point in my opinion, if everything before that is shit, why have it at all?

    Btw. if you do slog it through ARR, what happens if you make a new character to play a different class? Do you have to go through it again?



  • Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?

    I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like “Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC”. It was tough :-/
