If nothing else, watching out of touch normies chained to the decaying, hollowed out bones of old-media trying to grok this whole thing has been an entertaining spectacle.

Change his name to “Jesse McCreep”.

Since the guy he’s based on is an ACTUAL CREEP   
be nice if that nickname followed him around for a while, too.

I was not expecting to read this today at all. Now who am I going to harass to help me get out of the greys? Or tiredly explain why this or that Kinja thing is, in fact, just a broken POS?

Godspeed, my dude!

There are so many players at the vigil on my server that the game won’t render them all

God, what horrible news to wake up to. He was only 54, what a loss for the world. I’m still glad our very own Fahey was able to survive it.

This is no Zaku

I once described XIV to a friend as:

“It’s the kind of game where the pro-crafters are 1000% more hardcore than any endgame raider, the pvp rewards are fashion items, & the community will gladly queue for a raid for their low level friend where the only reward is a silly dance emote”

Also we have maybe the most beloved…

Yeah, pretty much this. I just stopped playing comp entirely and stuck to mystery heros or weird arcade modes (lucio ball, etc). But even then, outside of what I wrote about above, the overwhelming toxicity eventually just ground me down.

I still really enjoy watching OTHER people play the game. Like I love watching…

Overwatch.

I feel like that game made my partner and I worse people (when we were playing). For the record it’s more a “me” thing (I just don’t handle yelling-type people super well).

My partner is scary-good at any competitive FPS or twitch-reflex type games (fighters, platformers, etc), on account of having grown…

Back in december I came back to “Fallout 76", 2 years after it’s absolutely miserable launch (I was one of the people that pre-ordered and then was just completely aghast). After the wastelanders update, it’s an actual game now. Crazy, right? Who would have thought.

It still has problems, sure, but at this point they…

I will always have a soft spot for 90's WoD. But it’s a little sad that there’s no character customization at all, & you’re instead forced to play as someone who looks like their name is “Swagger McDickwaggle”, fresh back from storming the US capital with the rest of Trumpian paramilitary cosplayers.

I’m all in for Calli pogchamp

The FF-XIV community is very much down to earth like that.

I always go out of my way to try and help new players, either by giving them directions, or even just offering them rides to unlock new travel nodes via one of my multi-person mounts. I had a conversation a few weeks back with an older WoW refugee (which I…

yeah I’m seriously bummed I can’t make a like... brick sh*thouse lady version of Jackie. I want a character that looks like she could walk through walks like the juggernaut. But even with the cool sliders & options, you can only really be stock lady-shape/stock-dude shape. it kinda blows :/ 

Would you believe Fallout 76? I started playing it again after 2 years of being super disappointed by Bethesda, and it’s actually a (mostly, haha) functional Fallout game now.

After being one of the unfortunate souls that pre-ordered Fallout 76 back in 2018, and was then presented with that disappointing mess of a…

I’m old enough to remember when “inverted” was the default, and the inverse of that was what all you fuckin weirdos now claim to be “normal”, lol.

At this point it kind of doesn’t matter. It’s like skaters arguing over whether goofy/normal is the actual normal or if mongo is a bad habit or just a preference for…

My partner and I had it back in April, and were not quite as lucky as some. While we survived, 7 months after the fact we’re still experiencing complications and are pretty scared that this is our new normal. we were sick for about a month, and it was pretty hellish.

Before getting covid, I was already struggling with…

Look Fahey, I dunno what vagoo’s you’ve been looking at in your lifetime, but that is most definitely a monster butthole

Grinding out levels in Icebourne in the slog to MR 200.

I swear, I was super excited during development because there was all this talk about “a true endgame” (re: guiding lands) and as soon as you unlock it and learn how it works, it just feels like a punishment game, lol.

Every unlock/story mission is layered behind…

*whole, no wjole.

goddamnit keyboard, lol
